Frequently Asked Questions
-
How can you tell if your hair needs hydration?
Your hair might be crying out for hydration if it feels brittle, looks dull, or seems dehydrated—these are all signs that your hair isn't getting enough moisture. If you're experiencing frequent tangles, rough texture, or a loss of natural shine and bounce, it's time to consider hydrating hair products. A gentle shampoo and conditioner duo can help replenish and lock in much-needed moisture.
-
Are CeraVe shampoos suitable for color-treated hair?
All of CeraVe's hair products, such as our Gentle Hydrating Shampoo, are designed to be safe for color-treated hair. To maintain the vibrancy and health of your colored hair, incorporate CeraVe shampoo into your comprehensive hair care routine. Additionally, minimize heat styling and shield your hair from the sun with a hat to prevent further damage.
-
Does CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo have sulfates or parabens?
Our Gentle Hydrating Shampoo is formulated without sulfates and parabens. It’s also free of dyes and fragrances.
-
Can I use hydrating shampoo every day?
The frequency of hair washing depends on your hair type, length, and lifestyle. For instance, those with oily hair or who work out regularly might need to wash their hair more often, while people with textured hair might prefer to wash it less frequently. It's essential to find what works best for your unique hair needs. Our fragrance-free, gentle shampoo is designed for daily use, making it an excellent choice for those who wash their hair every day.
-
Does CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo contain methylisothiazolinone?
You won’t find methylisothiazolinone (MIT)—a common preservative found in various personal care products—in any of CeraVe’s haircare products.
-
Should you use CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo for dandruff?
If you're struggling with flakes, consider using CeraVe's Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo along with its matching conditioner, or opt for the convenient CeraVe 2-in-1 Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner. Both choices are effective in controlling flakes, itching, and irritation. For optimal results, use at least twice a week or follow your doctor's advice. Between these treatments, maintain your hair's cleanliness with CeraVe's Gentle Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner.
