All hair types can benefit from using the CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo, which is formulated with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and three skin-identical ceramides. The daily shampoo gently cleanses to remove buildup and impurities without disrupting the scalp barrier. After cleansing, replenish your strands with the CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Conditioner. When used with the coordinating shampoo, this conditioner leaves hair feeling soft, nourished, and healthy.*
If you’re looking for a gentle shampoo and conditioner to tackle a dry, flaky scalp, the CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo is a great pick. * Pair it with the CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Conditioner for soft, hydrated, and healthy-looking strands.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are ceramides?
Ceramides are compounds that make up about 50% of the lipids within the natural skin barrier.1 They help to retain moisture by preventing moisture loss and protecting the hair from environmental damage.1
-
Can you use ceramides on hair?
Ceramides are commonly used in skincare to help replenish the skin barrier and moisturize the skin. And they can absolutely be a part of your haircare routine, too. CeraVe’s shampoos and conditioners are formulated with three essential ceramides and moisturizing ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, to leave your hair feeling soft, nourished, and healthy.*

How do you build a haircare routine?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, creating your personal hair care routine starts with getting to know your hair inside and out. Identifying your hair type—whether straight, wavy, curly, or coily; dry or oily; fine or thick—can help you select the perfect products tailored to your needs.3
From there, you can start with the basics. Find a gentle shampoo that removes buildup without disrupting your scalp barrier, like the CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo. Use it to wash your hair as needed to help prevent buildup and keep your hair feeling clean. If you have thin or oily hair, that may mean shampooing every day; if your hair is thick, dry, or textured, you may benefit from a less frequent shampooing schedule. After washing your hair, replenish moisture with a hydrating conditioner, like the CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Conditioner, which contains three essential ceramides alongside hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Those with flaky scalps may want to opt for an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner, like the CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Conditioner, instead. Or, try a two-in-one product, like the CeraVe 2-in-1 Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner. When showering, use lukewarm—rather than hot—water, and try to limit your time in the shower to avoid drying out your scalp and skin.
-
Can you use ceramide hair products everyday?
Ceramides can be a great addition to your hair care routine. How often you’ll want to use them depends on the formula you’re using. The CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo and CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Conditioner are designed for daily use, while our anti-dandruff shampoos and conditioners should be used at least twice a week (or as directed by a doctor) for the best results.
