CeraVe Psoriasis Cream 8 oz — 2% Salicylic Acid Moisturizing Treatment for Scales & 24‑Hour Hydration

CeraVe Psoriasis Cream is a dermatologist-developed, fragrance-free moisturizing treatment that uses 2% salicylic acid, lactic acid, ceramides and MVE technology to help remove scales, relieve psoriasis symptoms and lock in 24-hour hydration.

This rich, non-comedogenic cream is formulated for skin prone to psoriasis, flaking and rough patches. It combines keratolytic and moisturizing actives with barrier-restoring lipids so the skin feels smoother and more hydrated while remaining gentle and fragrance-free. The formula is recognized by dermatology organizations and designed for daily use on face, hands and body.

How does this cream help reduce scales and rough patches?

The product contains 2% salicylic acid and lactic acid to soften and help remove dead skin, which reduces visible scaling and rough texture. These mild exfoliants are paired with moisturizing ingredients so exfoliation does not overly dry the skin.

• 2% salicylic acid: keratolytic action to loosen and shed scales
• Lactic acid: gentle chemical exfoliant for smoothing
• Urea and shea butter: replenish moisture during exfoliation

Will this cream restore and protect my skin barrier?

CeraVe includes three essential ceramides that mimic the skin’s natural lipids to help rebuild and maintain the barrier. The MVE (multivesicular emulsion) delivery system releases moisturizing ingredients across 24 hours for longer-lasting hydration and comfort.

• Ceramides 1, 3, 6-II: support barrier repair and resilience
• MVE Technology: sustained release of moisturizing actives
• Niacinamide: soothes and supports overall barrier health

How should I use the cream for best results?

Apply to clean, dry skin one to four times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. For best outcomes, cleanse first (CeraVe Psoriasis Cleanser is compatible), gently rub the cream in until absorbed, and follow sun-safety guidance because alpha hydroxy acids can increase sun sensitivity.

• Use on face, hands, elbows and other affected areas as needed
• Avoid open wounds or irritated broken skin
• Apply sunscreen when exposed to sun due to AHA content

Is this gentle enough for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is fragrance-free, allergy-tested and non-comedogenic, designed to minimize irritation while delivering medicated exfoliation and hydration. If you have very sensitive skin, patch testing a small area first is recommended.

• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk
• Non-comedogenic: developed to avoid pore-clogging
• Recognized by psoriasis-focused organizations for suitability

Who is this for: CeraVe Psoriasis Cream is suited for people with psoriasis-prone skin, persistent dry patches, or flaky, itchy areas who want a clinically minded, fragrance-free treatment. It fits into a routine for those seeking medicated exfoliation plus moisturization and is appropriate for use on face and body when used as directed. If you are under dermatologic care or have complex skin conditions, consult your provider for personalized guidance before beginning any medicated regimen.
