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, popular in skincare for their barrier-replenishing and moisturizing benefits, can also play a crucial role in your haircare routine. CeraVe's shampoos and conditioners are infused with three essential ceramides and hydrating ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. This combination is designed 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
Start with the fundamentals of hair care. Choose a gentle shampoo that effectively removes buildup without disturbing your scalp's natural barrier, such as the CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo. Use it as needed to keep your hair clean and prevent buildup. Depending on your hair type, this could mean daily washing for thin or oily hair, or less frequent shampooing for thick, dry, or textured hair.
After shampooing, restore moisture with a hydrating conditioner like the CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Conditioner. This product is enriched with three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to nourish your hair. If you're dealing with a flaky scalp, consider using an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner, such as the CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Conditioner. Alternatively, you could try a two-in-one product like the CeraVe 2-in-1 Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner.
When showering, opt for lukewarm water instead of hot, and try to keep your shower time brief to avoid drying out your scalp and skin.
-
Can you use ceramide hair products everyday?
Incorporating ceramides into your hair care routine can have significant benefits. The frequency of use depends on the specific product formula. The CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo and CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Conditioner are formulated for daily use, making them a seamless addition to your everyday hair care regimen. On the other hand, our anti-dandruff shampoos and conditioners are most effective when used at least twice a week, or as advised by a healthcare professional.
