How It Works: Pramoxine Hydrochloride & MVE Technology
The active ingredient, 1% Pramoxine Hydrochloride, is a topical analgesic that targets itch and pain signals at the nerve endings. To ensure sustained relief, CeraVe uses its patented Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE) Technology. This delivery system releases the moisturizing and soothing ingredients slowly over time, providing long-term hydration and comfort long after the initial application.
Is CeraVe Itch Relief Lotion safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, this lotion was developed with dermatologists specifically for those with itchy, dry, and sensitive skin. It has been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. It is suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and older.
For best results, apply to the affected area no more than 3 to 4 times daily. If you have chronic skin conditions, it is always recommended to consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor.
