CeraVe Skin Renewing Peptide Cream is an intensely moisturising, fragrance-free face cream formulated with peptides, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to restore tired skin and strengthen the skin barrier.

This fragrance-free cream delivers excellent barrier repair and peptide-driven hydration for tired or dry skin. At R600 for 48ml, it is effective, though noticeably more expensive than standard CeraVe range items.

Designed to revitalize tired-looking skin and address early signs of ageing, CeraVe Skin Renewing Peptide Cream combines peptides, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide in a rich yet non-greasy formula. Peptides work to support collagen production and improve visible firmness and elasticity, while ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II help reinforce the protective skin barrier. CeraVe MVE technology gradually releases these encapsulated ceramides for sustained, long-lasting hydration. Hyaluronic acid locks in natural moisture, while niacinamide targets dark marks and helps enhance barrier function. Rich to the touch, it smooths easily into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. At R600 for 48ml, this moisturiser is noticeably more expensive than standard CeraVe offerings, but it delivers targeted peptide-driven hydration and solid barrier repair for dry or dull complexions.
