Ok, so now we know what ceramides are, let's see what they do in our skin: research shows clearly that they play a super important role in keeping the skin barrier healthy and the skin hydrated. If ceramides in the skin are decreased, more water can evaporate from the skin and there is less water remaining in the skin. So ceramides form kind of a "water-proof" protecting layerand make sure that our skin remains nice and hydrated.In the winter, the skin on my body and hands tends to get very dry and flaky. The summer is a different story—as long as I’m drinking water, nothing seems to dry it out—but since my daughter was born at the end of 2019, I’ve dealt with annoying hormonal acne every month. Bar soap is a convenient option for those who prefer a cleanser that can be used on both the face and body. However, some soaps are not appropriate cleansers for oily skin, because harsh detergents can cause irritation or trigger more oil production. This is why it’s important to choose a formula designed with this skin type in mind, such as a non-comedogenic, soap-free foam cleanser for oily skin. While I’m used to face wash coming in a bottle, I was pleased to see that the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Bar can be used on the hands, body, and face—making it a great soap option for my shower caddy and my bathroom sink. In addition to being gentle on skin, it promises to keep skin moisturized, which is always a goal of mine, especially as I apply various topical creams to my face to clear up my skin. Long story short: I tried CeraVe’s Hydrating Cleansing Bar to see if it would work the magic I hoped it would. About eight years ago, I had a sulfur-based cleanser clear up another bout of acne, and I’ve been clinging to it ever since. My dermatologist insists it isn’t doing much for me anymore and has been recommending brands like CeraVe and Cetaphil as an alternative. So when the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Bar showed up at my door and I realized it was made with a non-comedogenic formula that promised not to clog pores, I decided to give it a go. The Feel: A little heavy About the brand: CeraVe is a top dermatologist-recommended skincare brand, famous for helping to hydrate and restore the skin’s natural barrier. About My Skin: Not too dry (but not that hydrated either), and acne-prone
