What is MVE delivery technology?

Found in CeraVe’s range of therapeutic skin and body moisturisers, Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE) technology is a revolutionary delivery system that makes formulas much more effective; helping to protect your skin barrier by providing long lasting hydration, with just one use.

MVE technology has several advantages over some topical formulations. In contrast to the “quick burst release” formulations in common moisturising products, CeraVe’s MVE is a structure of “time-released” spheres providing multiple phases of moisturisation that means skin is kept hydrated for up to 24 hours.

Each MVE sphere is composed of a series of concentric layers that trap and hold ingredients such as ceramides (natural oils found in the skin), fatty acids and phytosphingosine (a water binding agent). Over time the layers slowly and sequentially dissolve, releasing CeraVe’s essential ingredients onto the surface of the skin. This slow release of ingredients helps to replenish skin’s natural ceramides and restore barrier function to sustain moisture for up to 24 hours.

The different skin types:

Normal skin

As its name suggests, there’s nothing out of the ordinary here. Your skin isn’t too oily or too dry, and there are no obvious blemishes or flaky and sensitive patches. Normal skin, which is often common in young people, is balanced and characterised by a healthy-looking, radiant complexion. Keeping it looking that way can also be relatively simple with a straightforward skincare routine.

Dry skin

Dry skin is a very common skin condition and occurs when your skin doesn’t retain enough water. This can happen as a result of age, the weather or even having a hot bath. As well as water, dry skin also lacks oil. These factors can lead it to feeling rough, itchy and tight. You may also notice that wrinkles and fine lines are more obvious. On the plus side, pores are often less visible if you have dry skin.

Oily skin

Our skin’s oil is called sebum and when there’s too much of it produced it can lead to clogged pores, excess shine, blackheads and spots. If you’ve got oily skin, you may also notice that sebum production can change because of hormones, stress and humidity.

Combination skin

If you’re prone to dry patches and breakouts at the same time, you’ll need a skincare routine for combination skin. Although not always the case, you may find that parts of your face are oilier than others like the T-zone – your forehead, nose and chin – and your pores tend to be larger around the nose and smaller in other areas. As with other skin types, hormones, stress, climate and environmental aggressors can also affect combination skin.

Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is believed to occur when the skin’s barrier function is weakened and more vulnerable to external irritants such as the sun and pollution. This can lead to itchy skin, flaking, redness and skin feeling tight and uncomfortable. A skincare routine that helps to maintain the skin’s natural balance and barrier function can help to reduce its sensitivity.
