IT IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING BRANDS IN THE WORLD, PLACING THE NEEDS OF SENSITIVE SKIN FIRST!
Effective, economical and now within your reach! CeraVe is an American brand that was born from the need to create appropriate products for atopic skin; with high tolerance but also a good cosmeticity.
Over the years, the brand has evolved to create solutions that are suitable for other skin types and conditions with the concern of the integrity of the skin barrier always in mind.
The Skin Barrier
Skin defines the interface between our body and the environment, protecting us from physical, chemical, microbiological, and other kinds of aggressions. However, and for this protection to be effective; it is necessary to watch over its wellbeing; which is not always easy during these days, and much less when there are associated conditions.
The outermost layer of the skin is the epidermis, and on its surface we can find the stratum corneum. This portion of the epidermis consists of a cluster of highly keratinized and anucleated cells, corneocytes; whose connection is made through lipids that form the intercorneocytic cement. The constitution of intercorneocitary cement should comprise different lipids, whose ratio will be related to a greater or lesser capacity to water retention in the stratum corneum, while preventing the entry of any aggressive substances.
One of the most important constituents of intercorneocyte cement are ceramides, and some studies suggest that in an atopic skin the ratio between the various constituents of this class of molecules will be seriously compromised.
When the amount of ceramides is reduced, the skin tends to become rough and less elastic, thus being it more sensitive to external aggressors, and therefore more susceptible to the development of inflammation.
CeraVe solution
CeraVe was created by dermatologists, in view of the needs from atopic skin; a disease in which the skin barrier is deficient. For this, the brand has created a specific vehicle for conveying its active ingredients, thus providing a prolonged effectiveness to it’s products.
Multi-vesicular emulsion (MVE)
These multiphase structures have concentric layers similar to those from an onion, thus presenting several advantages when compared to the common emulsions:
Sustained release over time, ensuring long-lasting effectiveness;
Protection of the active ingredients;
Greater tolerance, since the ingredients release is done gradually.
Ceramides are present in all CeraVe products, in particular ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II. These products are accompanied by cholesterol, phytosphingosine and fatty acids in the lipophilic phase of vesicles (with affinity for fats); while in the hydrophilic phase (affinity for water) are hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and niacinamide.
Together, these molecules provide a greater water uptake to the epidermis, while preventing its loss through evaporation.
Because it contains all these active ingredients, CeraVe also allows you to take care of diseases such as senile xerosis, rosacea or acne!
The range
At CeraVe you can find products suitable to clean and moisturize the skin of the whole body and face!

DERMATITIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST COMMON SKIN PROBLEMS. WHAT IS THE THREATMENT, WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS, HOW TO PREVENT? WE PROVIDE YOU ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED, TO LEARN ABOUT EVERYTHING FOR AN AMAZING SKIN.
Atopic Dermatitis
What is it?
Atopic dermatitis, also known by the term eczema, is a chronic skin disease that often is associated with other allergic diseases, particularly bronchial asthma and rhinitis, normally appearing before the respiratory disease. Preferably reaches the pediatric age groups and 80% of cases manifested during the first year of life.
What is the frequency of dermatitis?
It is estimated that about 15-30% of children are affected by the disease worldwide, with this age group the most common chronic skin disease, although only 2-10% of adults suffer from atopic dermatitis.
How is the atopic dermatitis?
The diagnosis is based on the presence of itching (“itching”) associated with cutaneous signs such as redness, exudate, dryness and desquamation of the skin and, more entrained situations, there may be scarring caused by persistent itching. The location of these lesions varies by age group: the smallest children have preferred achievement of the head, sometimes just behind the ears, and the extensor surfaces of the limbs, while older children and adults tend to express disease in surfaces flexion (behind the knees and in front of the elbows); teenagers are also often hit the eyelids and peri-labial region. Confusion with other conditions of intense itching entities should be properly evaluated, not only with the aim of excluding but also the probability of simultaneous occurrence, especially infections. The clinical evaluation carried away allows these situations, as well as to characterize complications.
How is it diagnosed?
The diagnostic tests pass by performing skin tests, if any intact skin and by blood assays of antibodies, in particular for environmental allergens and food allergens, allowing the characterization of some of the aggravating factors.
What is the treatment of atopic dermatitis?
In the treatment of atopic dermatitis general measures should be considered:
only use cotton clothing to avoid sweating (sweat increases the itching)
wash new clothes before first use (prevent irritating reactions)
avoid large exposures to dusty environment (dryness and irritation effect).
In a situation in which it has identified food capable of causing the onset or worsening of skin lesions, these should be avoided; however, beware of misguided generalized diet, the nutritional risks and associated costs. It should also be avoided contact with allergens from the environment to which is sensitized (examples: house dust mites, pets).
Very important is to carry out the hydration of the skin, using such an emollient (moisturizer) which should be applied immediately after the shower (warm water) in order to avoid evaporation of water retained on the skin for the same. They must then be preferred emollients in the composition there is a predominance of fatty acids (omegas) and not water, which, like the multiple washes may even be a prerequisite skin dryness and aggravation of the disease. 7
Most situations will respond to such measures; it is maintained although they pruritus (although without damage), he must be controlled to avoid itching itself condition worsening of the disease and therefore more itching. This cycle can then be minimized by skin moisturizing, while maintaining the well-cut and nails, using oral antihistamines, which can also be used daily, for extended periods, in order to stabilize the disease. In more severe exacerbations or arise forms corticosteroids to be used in the form of a cream or ointment (using the lowest possible power, the face preferably 1% hydrocortisone); The intensity and extent warrant oral corticosteroid may be administered for very short periods.
Note: Because corticosteroids in tablet and capsule can cause serious side effects, doctors use them only as a last resort for individuals difficult to treat. These oral drugs may deter, weaken bones, inhibit the function of the adrenal glands and cause many other problems, especially in children. Moreover, its beneficial effects are only temporary. In some cases, the anti-infectious therapy may be required. In particular conditions, the expert may propose the use of other treatments.
Seborrheic dermatitis
What is it?
Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammation of the superficial skin layers that causes scales on the scalp, face and occasionally other areas. Seborrheic dermatitis usually affects several members of the same family and the cold weather often make it worse.
What are the symptoms?
Seborrheic dermatitis usually appear gradually, resulting in a dry or greasy scalp scaling (dandruff), sometimes itchy, but no hair loss. In more severe cases appear yellowish or reddish papules over hairstyle risk, behind the ears, the ear canal, on the eyebrows, on the bridge of the nose, around the nose and chest. In infants less than one month, seborrheic dermatitis can cause lesion with crust, thick yellow (infant cap), and sometimes a yellow scaling behind the ears, and red papules on the face. Often with the eruption of the scalp also appears another very persistent in the diaper area. The older children can develop thick skin lesions, persistent and large scales.
Treatment
In adults, the scalp can be treated with shampoos containing zinc, selenium sulfide, salicylic acid, sulfide or tar. The person generally uses these shampoo to control dandruff daily and then twice a week. Generally, treatment should continue for several months. If dermatitis reappear after stopping treatment, it can start up again.
The lotions also containing corticosteroids are used in the head and in other affected areas. On the face only should not use lotions with very potent corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone 1%. Even the weak corticosteroids should be used with caution, under medical or pharmaceutical advice, because prolonged use can reduce the thickness of the skin and cause other problems. If therapy with corticosteroids do not eliminate the lesions in some cases to use a cream with ketoconazole. In infants and small children with a thick crust on the scalp – see article on cradle cap.
Contact Dermatitis
What is it?
Contact dermatitis is an inflammation caused by contact with a substance. The eruption is confined to a specific area and usually well defined.
Substances that cause contact dermatitis can cause inflammation of the skin by one of two mechanisms: irritation (dermatitis, irritant) or allergic response (allergic dermatitis). Even mild soaps, detergents and certain metals can irritate the skin after frequent contact. Sometimes repeated exposure, including water, can dry and irritate the skin. The strong irritants, such as acids, alkalis (such as stain remover) and some organic solvents (such as acetone, used to remove nail polish) may cause changes in skin within minutes. In an allergic reaction, the first exposure to a particular substance (or sometimes, the first exposure) causes no symptoms, but the following exposure can cause burning and dermatitis within 4 to 24 hours. People can use (or be exposed to) certain substances for years without problems and suddenly develop an allergic reaction. Even ointments, creams and lotions used to treat dermatitis can cause this reaction. About 10% of women are allergic to nickel, the most frequent cause of dermatitis caused by jewelery. It is also possible to develop dermatitis from any material that a person while working ring (occupational dermatitis). A dermatitis that occurs when touching certain substances and then exposes the skin to sunlight is called dermatitis Photoallergic or phototoxic contact. Among these substances are sunscreens, lotions after-shave, certain perfumes, antibiotics, tar (coal tar) and oils.
What are the symptoms?
The effects of contact dermatitis range from redness, mild and transient, severe inflammation and blistering. The rash often consists of tiny bubbles which cause intense itching (vesicles). At first the lesions are limited to the contact area, but can later spread. The affected area may be very small (for example, the earlobes, the earrings to cause dermatitis), or can cover a large area of the body (for example, if the dermatitis is caused by a body lotion). When it suppresses the substance that causes the rash, redness usually disappears in a few days. The blisters may ooze and form crusts, but dry quickly. The residual scaling, itching and temporary thickening of the skin may last for days or weeks.
Diagnosis
It is not always easy to determine the cause of contact dermatitis because the possibilities are endless. Also, most people are unaware of all substances that touch on your skin. The location of the original rash is often an important factor. If the doctor suspects contact dermatitis but does not discover the cause through a careful process of elimination, you can proof the adhesive. For this test, are placed on the skin for two days small adhesive plasters with substances that often cause dermatitis, to see if it turns eruption under any of them. Despite being very useful, this adhesive proof is complicated. The physician should decide to test substance, which amount to apply for each substance and when it should take the tests. In addition, the test results may be difficult to interpret. The testing may be falsely positive or negative. Most people can find out the origin of their dermatitis without this adhesive test, systematically eliminating possible causes. Anyway, this is a test that can provide important data to identify the cause.
Treatment
The treatment is to eliminate or avoid what is causing contact dermatitis. To prevent infection and prevent irritation, the affected person should regularly clean the area with mild soap and water. Blisters should not be split. Dry bandages may also help prevent infection. The corticosteroid creams or ointments usually alleviate the symptoms of mild contact dermatitis, unless the person presents many bubbles as in the case of reaction to poison ivy (Poison ivy). The tablets with corticosteroids (such as prednisone) sometimes administered in cases of contact dermatitis. Although in some situations antihistamines relieve itching, they are not particularly beneficial in most cases of contact dermatitis. In the case of the causative allergen to be identified and to be an object with which the person contact in a small area of skin, for preventing the as new contact, contact dermatitis, can be used so-called barrier creams or films which isolate the skin. The Sweetcare has several alternatives.
Common causes of allergic contact dermatitis
Cosmetics: chemical depilation, nail varnish, acetone, deodorants, moisturizers, after-shave lotions, perfumes, sunscreens
Metal compounds (in jewelery): Nickel
Plants: several varieties of sumac, ragweed, Primrose
Chemicals used in the manufacture of garments: Paint for shoes, impermeabilizadores and antioxidants in gloves, shoes, underwear and other garments.

WHAT ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY? ALL THE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS TOPIC.
What are they, after all?
Antioxidants are substances that help fighting free radicals that are formed during cellular processes and are responsible for premature aging, cardiovascular diseases or certain cancers. When we have a healthy lifestyle and a diet that includes a variety of fresh food, especially vegetables and fruits, there is great chance that our body will be protected from these harmful elements. In this situation, the antioxidants that we eat on food, along with those that are produced by our body, may be sufficient to minimize its harmful effects. But with the amount of pollutants, the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and fat beverage, the amount of free radicals can be much higher than the antioxidants the body produces. So, it is very important to ingest food that is rich in antioxidants.
Where are they?
Although we can find them in the form of supplements, the ideal is to ingest them through food to avoid any risk of overdose, which leads to health risks. In the group of antioxidants, we can find: vitamins A, C and E, selenium, zinc and polyphenols. Red wine, grapes, green tea, cocoa, olive oil and olives are some examples of food rich in polyphenols. Vitamins can be found especially on fruit and vegetable products. Vitamin A is mainly found in fruits or yellow or orange food and also in some fish. Vitamin C is mainly in fruit and red or dark green vegetables. We can find vitamin E in olive oil, vegetable oils and oleaginous fruits like walnuts, almonds, etc. The zinc is present on dried fruit as well as in whole grains, seafood and egg selenium. In a low way in refined grains.
How much should we eat?
To achieve a balanced diet, which means consuming the recommended amount of all nutrients that are essential for keeping a good lifestyle and a healthy one, there’s no need to favor a specific group of food. Just find New Wheels for Food, a simple way, based on a graphic, where you can see the amount of food is needed to consume each day. The recipe, regarding the consumption of antioxidants, tell us that the group which includes fruit and vegetables should consume at least five servings per day, the equivalent to three pieces of fruit and 200g of vegetables or, if you prefer, 300g of vegetable and two pieces of fruit. The big secret is to vary within each group! We should not make the mistake of privileging one or two types of food instead of others, otherwise we can have, simultaneously, excess of some nutrients and a shortage of others.
What means free radicals?
Free radicals are molecules with an independent existence that are produced in the course of our breathing process. Of all the oxygen we breathe every day, 2 to 5% is converted into free radicals, which are not entirely detrimental. When produced in moderate amounts, the radicals are important to fight bacteria’s and viruses present in our body. Our metabolism produces numerous substances to neutralize them. However, when we start to produce them in excess, they become harmful because they damage the healthy cells and therefor they increase the risk of develop chronical diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cataracts, alzheimer, cancer, neurological disorders (eg Parkinson’s disease), arthritis and premature aging.

THERE’S NO DOUBT THAT SEROZINC WAS ONE OF THE MOST AWAITED NEW PRODUCTS EVER AT SWEETCARE! ALDOUGHT IT’S A VERY SIMPLE CARE, SEROZINC CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE ON THE DAILY ROUTINE OF THE WHOLE FAMILY! DO YOU KNOW HOW?
Although it is commonly associated to acne treatment, Serozinc from La Roche Posay can be used for many other purposes!
This products consists of a sodium sulphate solution, carefully packaged and preserved as aerosol, and it’s commonly used as a toner thanks to its astringent action. It acts by gently constricting the skin areas where it’s applied. On the other hand, zinc sulfate also has soothing and antimicrobial action.
By acting on all these skin functions, Serozinc can be considered as a multi-functional product, and it can be used by many people, having different skin types and issues.
Oily and acneic skin
Cleansing is probably the most important step for those who have a skin prone to oiliness or acne. Therefore, we recommend you to start your routine using a cleansing gel such as SVR Sebiaclear (1), which gently cleanses the skin while exfoliating it very lightly. Then, it’s time to apply the Serozinc! Spray it continuously in order to moisten the entire face and then massage it until the product is completely absorbed or pat dry the excess using a towel. The skin becomes immediately matifyed, and the pores diameter is visibly reduced.
At this point, you only need to add some moisturization. For oily skin, which also has blackheads and enlarged pores, we suggest SVR Sebiaclear mat pores (2), which moisturizes, exfoliates, matyfied, and protects the skin from free radicals’ action. On the other hand, if the skin also has some pimples, SVR Sebiaclear active is our favorite product! In addition to providing the same matifying and moisturizing action, this product has a more intensive exfoliating action and it contains niacinamide, that reduces the generation of imperfections and scaring.
Rosacea
In this case, the cleansing step needs to be especially adapted for sensitive skin. For this reason, we have chosen the Bioderma Sensibio H2O micellar water AIR (1), which decreases redness intensity, minimizes its recurrence, and increases sensitive skin’s tolerance.
Once the face is cleansed, it is ready to receive Serozinc, which will help to soothe the skin and keep it moisturized.
Finally, it’s time for moisturization, that so important to retain water inside the epidermis, and strengthen the skin’s barrier that shields it from external aggressions. This is particularly relevant for those who are prone to redness. With all this in mind, we suggest Bioderma Sensibio AR BB cream (2), which will moisturize, soothe, and protect the skin from UV adiation, while it gives you a bit of color, thus neutralizing the redness as well.
After waxing
Waxing the hair from your face can be very particularly aggressive and sensitizing for the skin. Therefore, Serozinc can also have a very important role on solving this problem!
After shaving, it is important to remove the wax residues. And to do so, there’s nothing more effective and delicate than a cleansing oil, as the sweet almonds cleansing oil from Caudalie (1). It must be applied on dry skin with a gente massage, and then emulsified with tepid water, until it is completely removed.
At the end of this step, you can spray Serozinc on the area that was waxed, letinng it absorb with a gentle massage, and then removing the excess of product.
Finally, it is urgent to apply a repairing cream that holds the skin moisture and stimulates its regeneration. For this purpose, we suggest Bioderma Cicabio repairer with spf50 (2), during the day, in order to prevent the appearance of dark spots that are common when waxed shaved skin is exposed to the sun. You can reapply it every time the skin becomes dehydrated, and as many times as you want during the day! For keeping the treatment at night, we recommend Bioderma Cicabio healing cream (3).
Diaper change
The diaper’s area is subject to many aggression, so there is a high probability of developing redness, rashes, or even serious microbial infections. In order to avoid these problems, it is important to have a good hygiene and care routing on each diaper change!
You can start by using the Mustela dermo-soothing wipes (1) to cleansed the baby’s skin, following with a Serozinc spray in a sufficent amount for it to be completely absorbed. This step will refresh the diaper’s area, that is so often inflamed, and it will also preventmicro-organisms proliferation. At the end, it is important to soak up excess the moisture from de productwith a sponge or cloth or towel, in order to garantee the skin’s surface is dry.
For those days when the skin is particularly inflamed, we suggest Mustela vitamin cream for the diaper area (2), applied in a thick layer, in order to soothe and repair the skin.
After shaving
As with waxing, shaving can also be extremely aggressive to man’s skin.
Therefore, we recommend using Eucerin Men Silver shaving gel (1) or to the equivalent cream, which allows an excellent blade slippage, and a high tolerance even for the most sensitive skins.
After rinsing off, it’s time to apply Serozinc on shaved, stimulating the product’s absorption with light touches. The skin becomes immediately cooler, calm, purified, and the small hemorrhages will stop much faster!
When you finish absorbing the excess product with a towel, you can proceed with moisturization and skin repairing by applying a specially formulated after-shave. For this step, we recommend Men silver shave after shave balm from Eucerin (2), which is also suitable for acneic sensitive skin.
