Product overview
CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream (50ml) is a hand cream from CeraVe, formulated with Dimethicone as the active ingredient alongside the brand's signature 3-Ceramide complex, Niacinamide, and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
Naming note: this identical formula is sold as "Therapeutic Hand Cream" in the US market and "Reparative Hand Cream" in UK/international markets -- confirmed by directly comparing both official regional sites, which list matching actives. Sourcing note: several third-party ingredient databases publish differing, mismatched ingredient panels for this product (some omitting Niacinamide or listing different actives entirely); per strict source priority, only the ingredient list confirmed on CeraVe's own official regional sites is used here, and the conflicting third-party database data is not used.
