Why choose QV Ceramides Lotion?
Ceramides are lipids that occur naturally in the outer layer of the skin and help it hold in moisture. When skin is dry or sensitive, a moisturiser that adds ceramides along with humectants such as glycerin is a sensible everyday choice. Ego says this formula increases skin hydration for up to 24 hours. Ego describes it as a lightweight formulation for the face and body, and the pack carries a dermatologist recommended badge.
Lotion, cream or cleanser?
The QV Ceramides range has three steps. The QV Ceramides Cleanser is the cleansing step. This lotion is the lightweight moisturiser for the face and body, and the range also includes QV Ceramides Cream in a cream format. Ego’s directions are to apply the lotion liberally to the face and body after cleansing with the Ceramides Cleanser.
How to use QV Ceramides Lotion
Cleanse first with a soap-free wash, pat the skin dry, then press the pump and apply the lotion liberally to the face and body. If you are using QV Ceramides Lotion alongside a prescribed cream, ask your doctor or pharmacist which to apply first and how long to wait in between.
Who it suits, and what it is not
It suits dry and sensitive skin, and Ego lists it as suitable for eczema-prone and acne-prone skin. It is a moisturiser, not a treatment: it does not replace a prescribed eczema cream or medicated acne product, so keep using anything your doctor has prescribed. If you are sensitive to parabens, note that the formula contains methylparaben and propylparaben. It is for external use only: avoid the eyes, stop using it if irritation occurs, and store it below 30 degrees C.
