CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion is a night cream in a 3 ounce size, made for use at the end of an evening routine. The texture is ultra-lightweight and oil-free, so it can be applied over a serum or eye cream once those have settled. Its formula pairs hyaluronic acid with niacinamide and uses CeraVe's MVE delivery technology, alongside the three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) included across the brand's range. Like the rest of the CeraVe line, it was developed with dermatologists, and the formulation suits all skin types. The lotion arrives non-sealed.
Size: 3 ounce (85 g) bottle of facial moisturizing lotion
Key ingredients: hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides 1, 3 and 6-II, delivered via MVE technology
Formulated without: oil, fragrance and parabens; non-comedogenic and allergy-tested
Suitable for all skin types, including dry, oily, sensitive and acne-prone
Apply a pea-sized amount to the face and neck as the last step of an evening routine, after any serums or treatments have fully absorbed. A small amount goes a long way given the lightweight consistency, so the 3 ounce bottle typically extends across several weeks of nightly use. Because it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film, it works well for those who dislike the feeling of heavier night creams or who share a bed and prefer a formula that transfers minimally to pillowcases.
Store the bottle upright at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to maintain the formula's stability over time. When comparing moisturizers of this type, it is worth checking whether a formula is truly fragrance-free rather than simply unscented, since the two are not the same; this lotion lists fragrance among its exclusions. Those with oily or combination skin may find a lotion-weight product more suitable than a cream-weight one for nighttime use, as the lighter texture is less likely to feel occlusive by morning. The pump-free screw cap means some contact with the product during dispensing, so clean hands before use.
