It's Spring! Time to Put Your Best Foot Forward

CeraVe Offers An Innovative Way to Treat Damaged Feet

TORONTO, May 12, 2016 /CNW/ -While it's common for your skin to experience a rough patch, when the uneven texture and dryness persists, it's time for CeraVe, Canada's triple-duty Renewing SA product line. Valeant Canada is proud to add the CeraVe Renewing SA moisturizers to prevent and reduce the recurrence of dry, itchy, red and flaking/scaling skin. This product exfoliates to improve the texture of skin on your feet. It is a targeted solution developed with dermatologists and podiatrists.

"Many patients complain of excessively dry feet that can become dry and cracked. Their skin barrier loses its protective moisturizing function," says Dr. Hartley Miltchin, a foot specialist and Doctor of Podiatric Medicine in Toronto. "Not all creams and lotions are made the same. The feet have thicker skin, unlike other areas of the body and thus require a product that will penetrate the skin barrier. The CeraVe Renewing SA Foot Cream exfoliates and moisturizes extremely dry, cracked, itchy and flaky skin."  "This foot cream is unique and revolutionary due to its innovative, nonirritating ingredients, not evident in other products", Miltchin adds. "I have seen remarkable results with positive feedback after months of use with my patients."

Spring is upon us and summer is around the corner, Canadians are trading their boots for more heel and toe-exposing footwear. Now is the time to focus on your feet. The triple-duty trio exfoliates, replenishes lipids in the skin's moisture barrier and moisturizes extremely dry skin — on areas such as the rough patches on legs, heels and feet.

How Does CeraVe® SA Renewing Foot Cream Work?

The product features 3%Salicylic acid (SA) to help loosen dead skin cells which allow moisturizing ingredients such as ceramides and hyaluronic acid to penetrate deeper layers of the skin and help replenish the skin's natural protective barrier. Antioxidant, Vitamin D, helps keep skin looking smooth and hydrated. It also contains 3 essential ceramides, which help replenish lipid levels in damaged skin to prevent water loss and help restore the skin's natural protective function.

CeraVe features patented, slow-release technology, Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE®)*, which allows key ingredients such as ceramides and hyaluronic acid to be absorbed into the skin over a 24-hour period, so skin is continuously nourished and hydrated throughout the day. The products are non-irritating and fragrance-free.
