Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe offers a complete line of skincare & haircare products that contain three essential ceramides enhanced with a revolutionary delivery system to help restore the skin & scalp's natural protective barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cream safe to use on my baby every day in the nursery routine?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Cream is developed with pediatric dermatologists for daily use on infants and toddlers. Its fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free, and phthalate-free formula is gentle enough for the nursery changing table after every bath or diaper change.
Will the rich, non-greasy texture leave residue on my toddler's clothes or crib sheets?
No. The cream is specifically formulated to absorb instantly into baby skin without a greasy finish, so onesies, pajamas, and crib sheets stay clean and comfortable throughout the day.
Can I use this on my child's face as well as their body?
Yes. The gentle, hypoallergenic formula is suitable for full-body application including the face, making it a convenient all-in-one moisturizer for busy nursery and bath-time routines.
Is this cream appropriate for my infant's delicate developing skin?
Absolutely. CeraVe Baby Cream is designed specifically for delicate infant skin and contains 3 essential ceramides that help restore the natural skin barrier, which is still developing in babies and young children.
Will my child be exposed to any harsh chemicals during daily use?
No. The formula is free of fragrance, parabens, dyes, and phthalates, so you can apply it confidently as part of your child's daily skincare routine without worry about harsh additives.
Is this cream a good choice for my baby's daily nursery skincare routine?
Yes. It is developed with pediatric dermatologists and is fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free, and phthalate-free, making it well suited for daily application at the changing table or after bath time.
Does this product work for a toddler with sensitive skin during winter dryness?
Yes. With 3 essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, the cream delivers 24-hour hydration that helps reinforce a young child's skin barrier during dry winter months indoors and outdoors.
Is this a non-greasy option for my active kid who doesn't like sticky lotions?
Yes. The rich cream absorbs instantly and leaves no greasy residue, so your child can get dressed and play immediately after application without slippery hands or stained clothing.
Can I use this cream on both my newborn and my toddler?
Yes. The gentle, hypoallergenic formula is appropriate for newborns, infants, and toddlers alike, making it a practical single-product choice for families with multiple young children.
Will the 5 oz size fit in my diaper bag for daycare and outings?
Yes. The 5 oz size is travel-friendly and designed for portability, so it fits easily in a diaper bag, daycare cubby, or nursery drawer for on-the-go moisturizing.
How does CeraVe Baby Cream compare to regular CeraVe moisturizing cream for kids?
CeraVe Baby Cream is specifically formulated for infant skin with a gentler ingredient profile, while regular Cerave cream is designed for adult skin. For babies and toddlers, the Baby version is the recommended choice.
Is this gentler than adult body lotions commonly used on children?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Cream is pediatrician-developed, free of fragrance, parabens, dyes, and phthalates, and is generally considered a milder option than many standard adult body lotions marketed for the whole family.
How does this compare to natural or organic baby moisturizers?
Unlike many natural or organic baby creams, CeraVe Baby Cream carries the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance and is formulated with clinically studied ceramides, giving it a stronger evidence base for sensitive baby skin.
Is there any risk of my child having a reaction to this cream?
CeraVe Baby Cream is hypoallergenic and free of common irritants such as fragrance, dyes, and parabens, so reactions are uncommon. However, if your child has known allergies, review the full ingredient list before first use.
What if my child has eczema-prone skin — will this be harsh?
On the contrary, CeraVe Baby Cream is accepted by the National Eczema Association and is specifically designed to be gentle on eczema-prone skin, with ceramides that help restore the skin barrier during flare-ups.
Is this cream too heavy for a baby's sensitive skin in warm weather?
No. Despite being a rich cream, the formula absorbs instantly without a greasy feel, so it remains comfortable on baby skin even during warmer months or in heated indoor spaces.
How do I apply CeraVe Baby Cream as part of my baby's daily routine?
Apply a generous layer of cream to your baby's clean skin after bath time or during a diaper change. Gently massage it in using circular motions on the body and face, focusing on dry areas. The non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, so baby can be dressed immediately.
How often should I moisturize my baby with this cream?
For best results, apply the cream at least once daily, such as after bath time. Babies with eczema-prone or very dry skin may benefit from two applications per day, and the 24-hour hydration formula supports long-lasting moisture between applications.
Should I apply this cream to wet or dry baby skin?
For optimal absorption, apply CeraVe Baby Cream to slightly damp skin within a few minutes after bath time. This helps lock in moisture and supports the skin barrier more effectively than applying to fully dry skin.
Is this cream compatible with sensitive baby skin and eczema-prone skin?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Cream is hypoallergenic, free of fragrance, parabens, dyes, and phthalates, and carries the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, making it compatible with sensitive and eczema-prone baby skin.
Can I use this cream alongside other baby skincare products?
Yes. CeraVe Baby Cream works well with gentle baby washes, cleansers, and sunscreens. Apply creams and treatments as directed by your pediatrician, and layer the CeraVe Baby Cream over any prescribed products as recommended.
What is included when I order CeraVe Baby Cream?
Your order includes one CeraVe Baby Moisturizing Cream in your selected size (5 oz or 8 oz). The product is ready to use with no additional setup required. Any applicators, pumps, or accessories shown in listings are sold separately.
Is CeraVe Baby Cream safe for my baby's sensitive skin?
Yes. The cream is developed with pediatric dermatologists, free of fragrance, parabens, dyes, and phthalates, and accepted by the National Eczema Association, making it a safe choice for sensitive infant and toddler skin.
How should I store this cream to keep it fresh?
Store CeraVe Baby Cream at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use, and always check the expiration date on the packaging before applying to your baby.
What is the difference between CeraVe Baby Cream and CeraVe Baby Lotion?
CeraVe Baby Cream is a richer, more intensive moisturizer designed to deliver 24-hour hydration and barrier support, while CeraVe Baby Lotion is a lighter formulation for everyday use. For very dry, eczema-prone, or winter skin, the cream is generally the preferred choice.
