  What is MVE Technology?

  MVE (Multivesicular Emulsion) Technology is a patented delivery system developed by CeraVe that allows for the slow, controlled release of key ingredients like ceramides into the skin over an extended period of time. It consists of concentric layers of oil-in-water emulsions, similar to nested dolls, that gradually dissolve after application, releasing the ingredients.

  Benefits of MVE Technology

  1. Provides Long-Lasting Hydration: The slow release of ingredients helps replenish the skin’s natural ceramides and restore the skin barrier to sustain moisture for up to 24 hours with just one application.
  2. Enhances Effectiveness of Ingredients: MVE technology optimizes the delivery of ingredients like ceramides, fatty acids, and phytosphingosine to the skin for maximum effectiveness.
  3. Improves Cosmetic Elegance: Compared to heavy creams, MVE technology allows for more cosmetically elegant formulations with a matte finish.
  4. Continues Working After Application: Unlike traditional moisturizers that only work while on the skin’s surface, MVE technology continues to deliver ingredients over time to maintain the skin’s protective function.
  5. Suitable for Various Skin Types and Concerns: MVE ceramide-containing formulations have been studied for their use in treating conditions like eczema, acne, and rosacea associated with skin barrier dysfunction

  How Does MVE Technology Work?

  CeraVe’s MVE (Multivesicular Emulsion) Technology is a unique delivery system that allows for the slow, controlled release of key ingredients like ceramides into the skin over an extended period of time. Here’s how it works:Concentric Spheres
  The MVE system consists of a series of concentric, nested spheres of oil and water. Entrapped within these spheres are the active ingredients, including:

  • Skin-identical ceramides
  • Fatty acids
  • Phytosphingosine (a water-binding agent)

  Gradual Release
  As the product is applied to the skin, the outer layers of the MVE spheres gradually dissolve, releasing the ingredients in a slow, controlled manner. This allows the ingredients to be delivered to the skin over an extended period, rather than a quick burst release.Sustained Hydration
  The slow release of ingredients helps replenish the skin’s natural ceramides and restore the skin barrier to maintain hydration for up to 24 hours with just one application. This is in contrast to traditional moisturizers that only work while on the skin’s surface.Enhanced Effectiveness
  The MVE technology optimizes the delivery of ingredients like ceramides, fatty acids, and phytosphingosine to the skin for maximum effectiveness in improving skin barrier function and maintaining hydration.

Usage

1. Cleanse Thoroughly: Before applying the gel, cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup.
2. Apply in the Evening: The gel is recommended for evening use to minimize the risk of sun sensitivity.
3. Start with Minimal Application: Begin with a thin layer of the gel applied to the affected area once daily. Gradually increase the application to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor.
4. Monitor for Dryness: If you experience dryness or peeling, reduce the application to once a day or every other day to avoid further irritation.
5. Use Sun Protection: Apply a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using the gel and for a week afterwards due to the presence of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), which can increase sun sensitivity.

Storage
