CeraVe Shampoos for Healthy-Looking Hair
You’re likely aware of the importance of caring for your skin barrier—but your scalp barrier is equally important. Like the rest of your skin barrier, your scalp barrier consists of lipids, ceramides, natural moisturizing factors, and proteins that work together to help keep your scalp hydrated and comfortable.
To keep your scalp feeling healthy, it’s important to wash your hair with a gentle shampoo that can help remove buildup without disrupting your scalp barrier.* CeraVe shampoos are all formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides and gently cleanse without disrupting your scalp’s moisture barrier. They’re designed to be gentle on your scalp and your hair and are made with all hair types and textures in mind. Plus, all of the formulas are pH-balanced, non-comedogenic, and free from the following common irritants: sulfates, parabens, and fragrances.

Can you overuse ceramides?
When using products containing ceramides, it’s necessary to follow instructions directed by the manufacturer. All CeraVe hair formulas are suitable for daily use.
