Game changer
I have always struggled with super dry skin on my T zone. The older I get, the more that dryness spreads to the rest of my body. Especially in the winter time. It’s AWFUL! I tried so many other things over the years. When I finally found and started using this, it felt like a miracle! It completely fixes my dry flaky skin. No more being embarrassed about flakes on my face! And it doesn’t make me break out even though I have sensitive skin! I love this stuff!

THE BEST Skincare!
For me this is simply the BEST skincare line. I will be turning 45 in about a month and CeraVe®️ has renewed and restored my tired, dry, and dull skin.I use this lotion generously, twice a day, a long with the CeraVe®️ Vitamin C Serum and Acne Control Gel and can honestly say I am so pleased with the results after consistent use.For the first time, out of anything I’ve used for decades, I found a product line that worked and that actually made a visible difference in my skin’s appearance.I will continue to use these 3 products daily and will definitely be trying more products from CeraVe®️

Non greasy moisturizer
After using this cream for over half a year, I can say it has definitely helped my dry hands. The best qualities for me, aside from it actually softening my hands and arms, is how nontoxic it is. Unlike many other brands, I don’t end up with itchy sweaty hands after applying this. It absorbs wonderfully and I don’t have the need to wash my palms due to feeling oily. Instead with this cream they are just left feeling soft. Definitely recommend this for those with dry and sensitive skin.

Life saver for extremely dry skin
I suffer from ashy dry skin on my arms, and my scalp (no hair). I picked up one of these just for that, and I use it daily. It goes on thick enough to make you feel refreshed, and honestly has helped my ashy skin severely. Like a long drink of water for the skin. I use it daily and I’m on my second bin now. For your head and arms, at least, its a definite life saver. No greasy feeling afterword or terrible smell, just refreshing.

The best of the best
My dermatologist recommended this brand years ago and it’s been life changing for me and my family. Winters really dry our skin and this cream is incredibly moisturizing and not greasy. If my husband likes it and relies on it, that says a lot because he hates any lotion or cream.But it helps him immensely so he’s happy and comfortable.

Excellent ! Highly Recommended !
Love this product. Better than the more expensive premium cosmetic brands. Why pay more!! Should NOT pay more in this day and age. Love the fact it’s fragrance free and easy to spread on my skin.I did my research prior to ordering this skin care cream and it’s rated as one of the VERY BEST in the entire skin care industry! Highly recommended!

LOVE this cream!
This is the best cream out there. Everyone in my family loves it. It’s not greasy and you can tell that it begins to work right away. It has really helped me with my hands. I wash them a lot and my skin gets really dry around the edges of my nails. I put it on and within a few hours I can tell a difference. I shared this with my mom (77) and she said it’s the best she has ever used as well. Both of my kiddos have senstive skin and it’s helped keep their skin moist in the winter time. I don’t buy any other lotion.

Great face wash and moisturizer
CereVe has always been one of my favorite skincare brands. They are great for people with sensitive skin like me. Their products are extremely light and do not feel heavy on the skin. The facial wash has a nice foaming quality to it when you use it. Also, the moisturizer itself feels soothing when you put it on dry skin and it helps prevent dry skin, especially in the wintertime. I only wish that the face wash came in a bigger size for this product because it runs out more quickly than the moisturizer so I have to restock the face wash before the moisturizer. But highly recommend the CereVe line of products and have been using them for many years and will continue to use them in the future.

Recommended By My Dermatologist
A recent surgery sent my body out of whack and I ended up with dry and flakey skin on my legs and arms. Evidently I wasn’t processing nutrients correctly and my skin was paying the price. My skin was dried out and cracked which was a real problem for me. Having had my spleen removed left me with compromised immunity and I became subject to infections.I saw my dermatologist after spending another week in the hospital on IV antibiotics followed by 10 days of heavy antibiotics at home. She highly recommended this CeraVe moisturizing cream to hydrate my skin and to help close the cracked areas.The repetitive use of this cream along with an increased vitamin regimen has returned my skin to a natural and healthy state. I feel better and my skin looks better.

Perfect Moisturizer for My Sensitive Skin!
This is a great moisturizer. I like that it is fragrance free because the scents of other moisturizers typically gives me headaches and makes my skin look red and blotchy. The cream is easy to apply and leaves my face feeling moisturized and smooth.

No issues for mature sensitive skin
Over the years, I have tried various facial moisturizers, and have to say that I’m really happy with this one. I am 50, and have always had sensitive skin that dries out and flakes in the winter months. My fingers crack in the cold as well.This cream isn’t greasy, absorbs very well, goes great under makeup, and has caused no adverse reactions whatsoever, and I use it on my face, neck and under eye area every morning and night after washing my face with Alaffia black soap and using Thayer’s alcohol free toner. It also works well on my hands and body but I have always had more difficulty finding a facial product that works sans any negative side effects. Furthermore, my husband, who has a LOT of allergies and product sensitivities, and struggles with finding good personal care products has also used it successfully on his face.Nothing but satisfaction from me!

AMAZING for patchy, dry skin!!
This southern gal has struggled badly with dry skin since I had to move to a much colder climate, especially during the colder months! I get dry flaky skin on my hands and my legs especially; on my legs it is so bad that sometimes I cannot help scratching until it bleeds, or leaves a rash. I even do it in my sleep. It is… not my favorite thing.This product specifically – the moisturizing cream – is a lifesaver for me. Since using it, I no longer have the above issues with my skin. It does not smell like anything, is not at all greasy (my fave thing about it!!), feels thick while going on light and smooth, and ACTUALLY moisturizes. It’s not meant for scent or cosmetic purposes. It truly leaves me with a deep moisturize that puts my dry, inflamed skin to rest. it is the only product I can swear by using for moisturizing my body. I have not used it much on my face, but I believe it is light and clean enough to do so :)Even better, my skin is sensitive to shaving and I sometimes get razor burn. If I apply this immediately after my shower, I do not get razor burn, and no uncomfortable itchy or burning sensations!Highly recommend for dry skin girlies especially during the cold months.

Great for us guys!
This is just what I was looking for. I’m 65, have NEVER used anything on my face until about 2weeks ago, my wife finally convinced me. I went looking for face cream/moisturizer and found that most cost a kings ransom! Well, I’m new to this and was not about to spend $50-100. This is VERY affordable, has NO scent which is exactly what I wanted, and comes in a great size so I won’t run out anytime soon. And, best yet, it is light, not greasy, and is absorbed very quickly. Haven’t missed a night putting it on. Have to check with my wife to see if I’m already looking 10-20yrs younger yet! Good stuff!

It’s a winner.
I’m in my 70s and four years ago, after reading a review of CeraVe, I replaced my 4 oz., $45 per bottle moisturizer with this CeraVe product. Because of my sensitive skin, I’d stayed with the other lotion for 35 years and wish I’d known about CeraVe many years and beaucoup dollars sooner. This moisturizer goes on easily without a lot of rubbing or pulling, absorbs quickly, and visibly softens the edges of those lines that are here to stay. I’m not trying to look 40 years younger, but I see results and I’m pleased with what it does to my skin. You’ll be surprised how long a jar lasts and, for the price, you just can’t go wrong.

The Best
I prefer the cream over the lotion. The cream just does a better job for me on my skin. The absolute best brand, in my opinion, after trying other brands before. Have been using for a few years. It was initially recommended by my dermatologist and she was right in recommending it. It’s a noticeable difference. I will always use it. I highly recommend it.

A Little Goes a Long Way!
I have tried so many different types of lotions and creams for my face it is unreal. I have fair skin that gets very dry in the winter and being 50 now, my face suddenly turned problematic and dry where it never was before. . This is amazing! You dab a bit on and instantly your face will feel refreshed, hydrated and soft. I always saw people buy this but never tried it. I regret that I waited so long to do so. I have tried cocoa butter, oatmeal lotion, Vaseline with cocoa and a combination of things and none of them got the results Cera Ve did. If that doesn’t help you make a decision, I don’t know what will. I would even stir up a concoction of Vaseline, lotion, and baby oil with Oil of Olay. Lol! Nothing worked. One little dollop of this cream and my skin is thanking me. It’s remarkable.

Hydrates , No Scent
I’ve been using this product for many years for my very dry skin. It goes on smoothy and is not sticky. I’m 76, and if I don’t use it my skin looks very wrinkly, especially my arms and neck. It really has no scent, which I think is great! I rarely give a product above 4*, but this deserves the 5*. Also, I’ve seen it in a small tube, which great for traveling.

This gives me wet skin!
Oh boy oh gosh oh golly, this sure does make my skin wet! I put it on to my dry skin, the cracks in the skin dryly screaming “help me. I’m parched. I need it. The emulsion of fat and water. Put it on me. Soap has done me wrong. Someone please help. I don’t have much longer.” After putting this on, my skin is thankful for this blessing from above and is stretchy again. The blood stays in my body instead of leaving through the parched, screaming cracks. Wow thanks Cerave!

UNscented. Love this cream (so does the cat)
The “Boss” doesn’t control everything in my life, but she does like the LACK of scent in this. My previous goo had a cocoa butter base. No comment from HER, but she did rather avoid me after I used it. Fast forward to CereVe: Boss now sleeps on me and cuddles frequently. BTW: seriously love this cream. Utterly unscented, moisturizing, and – significantly – persistent: I don’t wake up with my skin feeling like old leather.

First time using on face
-I used Cerave all over my body all winter until one dayI saw many bloggers saying that this product is very good for wiping the face, especially for sensitive skin. Recently, I have also started to try using it for wiping my face. Don’t tell me, it really works. Of course, you have to use essence and so on. It absorbs quickly and is not greasy at all. I applied it thickly on my neck. I want to see if it can reduce neck wrinkles. Now it seems that it is rightly called the end of American skin care. After using so many brands, I finally returned to minimalist skin care.

I’ve been using this for a couple months now and love it. My skin always feels soft without feeling like it’s coated in something. I replaced my Aveeno (which I had been using for about 10 years) with this. Until something better comes along I see myself using CeraVe for a long time. Great product.

Love it!
Winter has brought on the dry skin for sure. I’m a consistent lotion user daily after showering. My husband recently went to the dermatologist and he noticed his dry skin. He’s a typical man who rarely uses lotion. The dermatologist told him to buy this in the cream not the lotion. Wow! I started using it and am very impressed. It absorbs quickly, not greasy and can also be used on your face. This is a giant jar and lasts a long time. Not too pricey either.

Works well but …
It moisturizes as promised. No great leftover oil/grease as with a petroleum-based product. Skin feels as smooth as silk. Directions say “apply liberally as often as needed” and that’s where my “but” comes in. The softness declines , wears off—whatever it’s doing—and you have to use it again. And again. And again. I didn’t find that to be true of plain ole Vaseline. I had to use it again—but not the same day! So why am I using this? At times, I don’t want my hands greasy after applying the product. If I have to cook or dress, I want my hands free of grease. So, I’ll use this product also with the Vaseline. I can go to bed or do whatever with Vaseline but when cooking or sewing, I want my hands free of oil/grease. This has its place but it isn’t the solution I was looking for. I want effectiveness with a longer-lasting effectiveness. Because it does what it promises, I’m still giving it 5 stars. It was made for a general population and because it wasn’t made with my desires specifically in mind, I’m still giving it a high rating.

The best moisturizer for sensitive skin
My skin is so fussy- it’s very dehydrated and it sometimes breaks out when I try new products. I tried this moisturizer because it has no fragrances and it contains hyaluronic acid. It is SO NICE. I do not break out, and I’ve noticed such a positive effect on my skin with only about 5 days of use 😌
