Care Cera AP Face & Body Milk

ケアセラ APフェイス&ボディ乳液
skincare moisturizer

A ceramide packed moisturizing milk for dry, sensitive skin that can be used on both face and body. The standout feature is Rohto's proprietary "Ceramide Plus" (dihydroxy lignoceroyl phytosphingosine), a world first ceramide developed specifically to strengthen the barrier function of sensitive skin. On top of that, it contains 7 types of natural ceramides plus cholesterol and a peptide (Peptide CP), giving it one of the most comprehensive ceramide blends in any Japanese drugstore moisturizer. Often compared to CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion but with a more elegant texture and a broader ceramide profile. Fragrance free and slightly acidic to match the skin's natural pH. A genuinely underrated product in the r/AsianBeauty community.

FAQ
How does this compare to CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion?
Similar concept (ceramide-focused barrier repair) but CareCera has a more comprehensive ceramide blend. It includes 7 types of natural ceramides plus Rohto's proprietary Ceramide Plus, whereas CeraVe has 3 essential ceramides. CareCera also has a slightly more elegant texture and includes peptides. If CeraVe works for you but you want an upgrade, this is it.
Can I use this on my face?
Yes, it's formulated for both face and body. The ceramide-rich formula is gentle enough for facial use, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. Many people use it as their main facial moisturizer.
Will this break me out if CeraVe did?
Maybe. If you broke out from CeraVe because of fatty alcohols (cetyl or cetearyl alcohol), CareCera might cause the same issue since it likely contains similar emulsifiers. If your CeraVe breakouts were from something else, it's worth trying. Patch test first if you're acne-prone.
