The CeraVe story began in 2005 after experts noticed that many skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and dry skin all had one thing in common: a compromised skin barrier. Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe offers a complete line of skincare & haircare products that contain three essential ceramides enhanced with a revolutionary delivery system to help restore the skin & scalp's natural protective barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this cream deliver all-day hydration from a single application?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Cream is formulated with ceramides and hyaluronic acid to provide 24-hour hydration from a single application, supporting baby's skin barrier throughout the day and night.
Does this cream absorb quickly so I can include it in a calming bedtime ritual?
Yes. The non-greasy, instantly absorbing texture makes it ideal for a wind-down massage routine after bath time, allowing you to dress baby and move directly into the bedtime ritual without waiting.
Can I use this cream as part of a post-bath mindfulness routine?
Absolutely. Applying the cream during a slow, gentle post-bath massage is a wonderful way to combine skin nourishment with a calming, mindful moment for both parent and baby.
Will the hyaluronic acid help with my baby's dry winter skin?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisture-retaining ingredient that helps draw and lock in hydration, making this cream especially helpful for restoring comfort during dry winter months.
Is this a soothing option to use after my baby's nightly feeding?
Yes. The hypoallergenic, fragrance-free formula is gentle enough for application right after a nighttime feeding as part of a soothing bedside routine that supports restful sleep.
Is this cream a good addition to my baby's self-care wind-down routine?
Yes. With its non-greasy, instantly absorbing texture and 24-hour hydration, the cream is ideal for a calming post-bath massage that becomes a meaningful part of baby's nightly wind-down ritual.
Can this cream help me create a bonding moment with my baby?
Absolutely. A gentle application after bath time or before bed is a wonderful opportunity for skin-to-skin contact, soothing touch, and quiet bonding between parent and child.
Will this product help restore my baby's skin barrier after long days outdoors?
Yes. The 3 essential ceramides help replenish skin barrier lipids lost through environmental exposure, while hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration to support recovery.
Is this cream suitable for a daily mindfulness practice with my infant?
Yes. The gentle, fragrance-free formula is perfect for repeated daily use, allowing you to make mindful application a consistent part of your infant care practice.
Does this cream support my baby's skin during the dry indoor heating season?
Yes. The ceramide and hyaluronic acid combination works to combat the moisture loss caused by indoor heating, keeping baby skin hydrated and comfortable all day.
How does this compare to using plain coconut oil on my baby's skin?
Unlike coconut oil, CeraVe Baby Cream contains clinically studied ceramides and hyaluronic acid in a fragrance-free, irritant-free formula, and is accepted by the National Eczema Association for sensitive skin.
Is this better than standard baby lotion for hydration?
CeraVe Baby Cream is richer than typical baby lotions and delivers 24-hour hydration with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, making it a more intensive option for dry or sensitive skin.
How does this compare to shea butter-based baby moisturizers?
Shea butter moisturizers primarily provide occlusive hydration, while CeraVe Baby Cream actively replenishes ceramides in the skin barrier and adds hyaluronic acid, offering both immediate and long-term skin support.
What if the cream feels too heavy for my baby's skin in warmer weather?
Despite its rich texture, the cream absorbs instantly without a greasy finish, so it remains comfortable in warm weather. For very hot climates, you can apply a thinner layer and reapply as needed.
Will the cream leave a scent that disrupts my baby's calm environment?
No. CeraVe Baby Cream is completely fragrance-free, so it will not introduce any competing scents to your baby's calm, soothing nursery or bath-time environment.
Is it worth paying more for this cream compared to drugstore baby lotions?
Yes. With ceramides, hyaluronic acid, the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, and pediatrician development, CeraVe Baby Cream offers clinical-grade ingredients that justify its position as a premium daily moisturizer.
How do I apply CeraVe Baby Cream as part of my baby's daily routine?
Apply a generous layer of cream to your baby's clean skin after bath time or during a diaper change. Gently massage it in using circular motions on the body and face, focusing on dry areas. The non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, so baby can be dressed immediately.
How often should I moisturize my baby with this cream?
For best results, apply the cream at least once daily, such as after bath time. Babies with eczema-prone or very dry skin may benefit from two applications per day, and the 24-hour hydration formula supports long-lasting moisture between applications.
Should I apply this cream to wet or dry baby skin?
For optimal absorption, apply CeraVe Baby Cream to slightly damp skin within a few minutes after bath time. This helps lock in moisture and supports the skin barrier more effectively than applying to fully dry skin.
Is this cream compatible with sensitive baby skin and eczema-prone skin?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Cream is hypoallergenic, free of fragrance, parabens, dyes, and phthalates, and carries the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, making it compatible with sensitive and eczema-prone baby skin.
Can I use this cream alongside other baby skincare products?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Cream works well with gentle baby washes, cleansers, and sunscreens. Apply creams and treatments as directed by your pediatrician, and layer the CeraVe Baby Cream over any prescribed products as recommended.
What is included when I order CeraVe Baby Cream?
Your order includes one CeraVe Baby Moisturizing Cream in your selected size (5 oz or 8 oz). The product is ready to use with no additional setup required. Any applicators, pumps, or accessories shown in listings are sold separately.
Is CeraVe Baby Cream safe for my baby's sensitive skin?
Yes. The cream is developed with pediatric dermatologists, free of fragrance, parabens, dyes, and phthalates, and accepted by the National Eczema Association, making it a safe choice for sensitive infant and toddler skin.
How should I store this cream to keep it fresh?
Store CeraVe Baby Cream at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use, and always check the expiration date on the packaging before applying to your baby.
What is the difference between CeraVe Baby Cream and CeraVe Baby Lotion?
CeraVe Baby Cream is a richer, more intensive moisturizer designed to deliver 24-hour hydration and barrier support, while CeraVe Baby Lotion is a lighter formulation for everyday use. For very dry, eczema-prone, or winter skin, the cream is generally the preferred choice.
