CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is a hydrating solution that provides 24-hour moisture to dry skin. The velvety texture of the cream is quickly absorbed, leaving the skin feeling smooth without any greasy or sticky residue. This moisturizer contains hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and MVE technology, which work together to lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated.
Ceramides are essential lipids that make up 50% of the skin barrier, and their deficiency can lead to dry and flaky skin. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream contains three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) that help restore and maintain the natural barrier of the skin. After just four weeks of use, this cream has been shown to increase the skin’s level of ceramides, providing relief to dry skin.
CeraVe Skincare products are developed with dermatologists and are suitable for various skin types, including dry, sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin. This moisturizer is fragrance-free, paraben-free, allergy-tested, and non-comedogenic, making it gentle enough for daily use on the face, body, or as a hand cream.
The National Eczema Association (NEA) Seal of Acceptance is awarded to products that are suitable for people with eczema or sensitive skin. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream holds this seal, making it a reliable choice for anyone looking for a gentle and effective moisturizer. The product also comes with a lid seal for your peace of mind.

Great for all skin types
I was nervous trying this because I have oily skin & some heavier creams break me out. This doesn’t though, and doesn’t leave me feeling greasy. I use this on my face 2x a day and it does fine under a full face of makeup, in fact, it helps my makeup stay on better because my skin is happy and hydrated from it.It absorbs pretty quickly and leaves my face feeling moisturized and has helped calm down my eczema flare upsIf it feels too thick you can mix it with a hyalauronic acid serum or something similar in your palms before applying it! I mix it with corsx snail mucin too.

Non-Greasy
My allergist recommended this product as it is non-greasy and seems to help severely dry skin issues.I just received it and after a couple of applications, I think I have finally found a moisture cream that I will be happy with. I wish it could also be sold in travel/small size for travelling purposes.

No oiliness
To be honest I haven’t used it by it self on a regular but I use it with my body oil and it is fabulous! I would use it on damp skin, first oil then the cream results silky smooth skin.The few times on its own it works well it absorbs and leave no residue and still moisturizes leaving you with soft smooth skin. I would recommend it and little bit goes a long way.

Dr recommended for me
I have really dry, pale and sensitive skin.I have eczema spots/patches in certain areas on ankles, elbows, legs and on my face is severe dryness areas on chin and nose.When i wear make up i fear the dry skin areas will flake so I have to have skin very hydrated.I needed a product that i can use on my face and neck area also also on some dry spots on body.Not all dry lotions and moisturizers can be used on the face as will cause breakouts and clog pores.My Dr. Suggested I use this brand and product as it is for face and body and dermatologist treated and approved as a great product for dry facial skin.I need something that does what it says it will do and wont be caked and thick under my makeup.This product arrived and so far is amazingPROS…*THERE are other packaging ways to get this same product there is the one i the tube with the pump BUT i prefer this one as then you get more product for your money AND the tube/pump kind you cannot always tell when it will run out until its too late.*hardly any smell if any. There is NO perfume scent and i would say no scent to it at all*great texture NOT too thin and NOT too thick of a product*you would be able to put makeup over it and it’s NOT sticky or caked feeling under your makeup (BUT apply only a thin layer if you apply more then you will have different texture/results.)*If you search online this is the BRAND and PRODUCT that Dermatologists go to and suggest/recommend as the best over the counter facial moisturizerHINTS and REMINDERS…*Follow instructions and ALWAYS do a strand test which means to wash area of skin and apply a small amount to skin of product wait and then see. Sometimes an allergic reaction doesn’t happen right away.*wash skin before using and apply a THIN amount of product*reapply as needed or follow DR./Dermatologist instructions mine is to apply 3x a day for 1 week (so wearing no makeup as it needs to be the only product on my skin) THEN apply every morning and event evening (still no makeup being worn) THEN follow week i can introduce makeup onto product and continue to use product i the morning and then evening.

Best ever for my daughter with sensitive skin – which isn’t and why I purchased this one.
We love everything about it. Purchased it late last night. I have prime, but it still game by lunch today. Package was great moisturizer wasn’t great seal and protected. It is such an amazing deal for the amount compared to buying it in stores. It goes such a long way. A little bit goes such a long way and that it’ll last us a very long time. It is a wonderful moisturizer, especially for teens. We learned that after we realized how wonderful the facial cleaner is. This is a great moisturizer. Very satisfied. Absolutely recommend everyone giving it a try, it’s looking for something new !!!

Always be the best for my family members who have sensitive skin
Must have for everyone in my family. My own family and my parents’ family, even my siblings’ family. All of us have very sensitive skin with drought and itchy problem. Now everyone of us uses it. It really helps us to calm our skin effects.

Amazing Stuff!
I just received this and couldn’t wait to try it. Washed my face and it looked every bit of my 80+ years. I put my new CeraVe moisturizing cream on, very lightly and I look at least 10 years younger! My face and hands absorbed this like it was water in the desert! It isn’t sticky, it has no odor and my skin is plump and smooth. I’ve been using facial oil and was ok with it but this is a game changer. I love this stuff!

Great for the body. Can’t use it on the face.
I was hoping to be able to use this on my face, but unfortunately it leaves my face red, stinging, and ultimately feeling taut and dry… which is weird, because my facial skin can usually take a beating!No biggie. This economical tub of cream goes a very long way when applied to damp skin after a shower, and it’s done wonders on my skin from the neck down! It has no fragrance, which is great. Glides on easily and absorbs quickly – absolutely no greasiness whatsoever. My skin is noticeably softer just a week or two later.I’ve tried so many things and this cerave CREAM is where it’s at! Price point, consistency, scent, results – you get your money’s worth here.

Comes in a pretty big size container 19oz
It’s thick, it feels like I have an extra layer of skin. I don’t not like it though. I got it because my hands are always seem so dry, and I have to say after only a few days of using it I can already tell my hands aren’t as cracked & dry. No rash as others have reported, thankfully. Not much of a scent, doesn’t smell pleasant, but doesn’t smell bad either.

Wonderful
I must admit, I was skeptical when I bought it because I tried many moisturizers before and nothing really helped.My skin is extremely dry, I live in the desert BUT to my surprise, after only ONE week that I am using it, I see a HUGE difference. My skin stop peeling and became already smooth. THANKS SO MUCH VeraVe

Best moisturizer
I have been using Cerave for ad long as I can remeber. I usually get it from Costco but I recently discovered it on Amazon and it’s easier to order online. This cream goes deep into the skin and moisturizes for the day. You can actually see and feel a difference in your skin.

No tacky feeling!
I got this once to try it out. I wish there was scent of any kind but it is so moisturizing and absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a weird tacky feeling for hours after like some other lotions! I will say, on my sensitive skin I gave it a shot on my face once (package claims it’s good for face too…) and for me, absolutely not, it broke me out badly from one use. But I will continue to repurchase to save my body skin in the dry Michigan winters!

I regret not getting sooner
I’ve never worn moisturizing cream before. I’ve always been afraid of it sitting on my face causing me to sweat, it’s very HOT where I live. But I haven’t had any problems, I use it morning and night, love the texture and I could feel a difference in my face right away.

Perfect addition to affordable daily skincare regimen
I have struggled with sensitive combination skin for several years and was dubious when my dermatologist suggested Cerave- I did not think it could be all that different from other moisturizers but it lived up to the hype. It hydrates the skin without leaving a greasy feeling and is easy to apply. I recommend using it twice daily on the face (AM and PM) after sunscreen or other serums. Also super easy application on the body!

amazing
the moisturizing cream pot is amazing for dry skin in the face and body. i prefer this over the lightweight lotion because the lightweight doesn’t do enough for me. i have acne prone skin and this product has not caused any new breakouts. i use this day and night, and i don’t find it to be too heavy. makeup goes over the lotion well, and it gives me a smoother base. i love it!

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream vs Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion
This is for all my super dry skin people…if your skin is dry, flaky and painful even after applying lotion this is for you. If you are approaching a certain age and suddenly you cannot seem to apply enough cream to soothe your skin, this is for you too. Before you go to a doctor to be checked for skin fungal infection try this first:To be clear this is a comparison between the “Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion” for very dry skin (it has urea as the third ingredient) vs “CeraVe Moisturizing Cream” that comes in a big tub, sometimes with a pump. Both products are unscented.EUCERIN:This is a lighter lotion that packs a good punch. It goes on light, leaving a very slight oil feeling and film that feels good. The secret ingredient here is urea which draws moisture to the skin. The lotion can be used on its own in fall, spring and summer if your skin is not too dry. For winter it needs a tiny bit more oil for complete relief. In the winter I put about a dime size dollop of lotion on my hand, add a tiny bit of oil (about half or less the amount of lotion), rub together and apply from head to toe. The lotion is light enough to apply a small amount on the face when it is super dry out. It makes a great night moisturizer too.CERAVE:This is a thick, rich cream that feels luxurious and provides a nice nongreasy film on the skin. I can get away with using it on its on in the summer but for fall, spring and winter I need to add oil to it. Usually, I pump a dime size dollop of cream on my hand, add about the same amount of oil, rub them together and then apply from neck to toe (it is too thick for the face).If I was to pick only one of the two products, Cerave would be it. Even if it needs more oil for the perfect feel in super dry weather, it provides a much more moisturizing cushion to the skin. When I use it without oil in the summer it almost feels a little dry/powder-like, while still moisturizing.One last point: I have had the best results when adding oil to both products. As we age our skin cannot produce as much oil as needed, and adding it to our cream/lotion is the perfect solution. You need an oil blend that has a good balance between fast absorbing oils, for a more conditioning effect, and ones that linger a little to help seal in the moisture from your cream/lotion. The best I have found so far is the “Acacia Well Body” body oil. It is rich but not greasy. Sometimes when in a rush I apply the oil minus cream/lotion, and it holds its own for at least 24 hours.

Great Value and it’s free of any parabens, sulfates, or phthalates
I recently tried the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and I must say, it has made a huge difference in my skin. The cream is so smooth and creamy, it just glides on effortlessly. It has really helped to moisturize my dry skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and soft all day long. I have even noticed that my skin is smoother and more supple after using it for just a few days.What I love about this moisturizing cream is that it is fragrance-free and non-greasy, making it perfect for everyday use. It also has hyaluronic acid and ceramides which are great for locking in moisture and restoring the skin’s natural barrier.I checked the ingredient list and was pleased to find that this cream is free of any parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. However, some people may be sensitive to certain ingredients, so it’s always important to do a patch test before using any new skincare products.Overall, I highly recommend the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for anyone looking for a high-quality, fragrance-free, and non-greasy moisturizer that will keep their skin hydrated and healthy.

SAVED ME FROM MY DYSHIDROTIC ECZEMA
To start off, you should know that I bought this for the first time because my dermatologist gave me some samples and thought it was a nice hand cream. It is so much more to me now. I have dyshidrotic eczema and if you don’t know what that is, it’s a type of eczema that causes your fingers and palms to break out in tiny blisters that itch and burn until they cause your skin to crack and fall off leaving you with bleeding raw patches everywhere. I have multiple steroid creams to aid the healing process of this, but no matter what I tried, I’d break out and lose my finger tips every two weeks like clock work. Like I said, I got samples of the cream, liked it, and ended up buying a tub, but after using this product for a few weeks, I decided I’d never not have it on my bedside stand. I have not had an eczema break out in months!! I even survived an entire Winter of using my hands for barn work and other laborious things and I have not lost my fingertips once. This product is a miracle for me. I use it nightly before bed and I’m good to go.More good things to know:-I hate greasy hands. This absorbs quickly for how thick it is and isn’t greasy after a few seconds. My hands fell silky, but not greasy! I can use my phone just fine after rubbing the cream in.-it smells very neutral/is non scented-there are no animal products or byproducts in this-I have used it on my face when I forget my face moisturizer before bed and I have not broken out from doing so. Normally random lotions break me out.-it works amazingly on chapped lips. Seems weird, I know, but I use it for this too now when needed. I actually prefer it over chapstick.I have never written a review this long in my life and I was not paid or compensated to write this. I simply love this product and I highly HIGHLY recommend it if you’ve got stubborn it recurring eczema!

Great for eczema prone skin
My dermatologist recommended this to me several years ago when I started dealing with itchy, scaly patches. They determined I was dealing with eczema and recommended this cream plus a prescription ointment. The prescription did not work for me but this CeraVe cream did! I also always dealt with itchy, dry, almost scaly legs after shaving but when I use this immediately after, my skin is super soft, moisturized and not irritated at all. I was also using this on my face and neck for while, but did discover it was clogging my pores so I don’t use it there anymore. For my body, and managing my eczema, it is an absolute must have.

Absorbs quickly
Cerave is the best. I hate lotions and creams that continually feel they just sit on top of skin feeling greasy. Cerave products absorb quickly and leaves skin feeling so so hydrated, soft and smooth. I had been using the lotion and thought this would be great for winter use as a cream and I do love it.

Best Buy For Sure
I have found this to be the best overall moisturizer I’ve EVER used for many decades. Head to toe. Thanks to “Dr. Dray” on YouTube for recommending this (and most other CeraVe products).. I used to buy this and the lighter CeraVe lotion but found using this with a little water on hands before applying allows me to get what ever thickness I want. Slides on effortlessly with wet hands and soaks in quickly. Lasts all day. Very economical in the 19oz jars. I simply unscrew the one pump lid I have when jar is empty and put it on the new no pump replacements. You only need to buy the pump top model one time and reuse it. This stuff really works without being sticky or smelly. Highly recommended.

Perfect for previously sunburned skin, minimal scent, absorbs completely
I recently got pretty bad sunburn in FL and used a quality competitor product Eucerin for dry damaged skin that was on hand. But my research showed the ceramides in this were even better to aid in my skin recovery. I like it better for sensitive previously sunburned skin, minimal scent, absorbs completely.

Not greasy
After using Ol of Olay for 50 years my skin changed on me and it no longer felt like it was moisturizing my skin enough. The CeraVe is exactly what I was looking for. It’s a little heavier than the Ol of Olay but not greasy and makes my skin feel nurtured. After using it for a few weeks I got a compliment on my skin looking beautiful. I hadn’t had one of those compliments in a long time.

I have used CeraVe products for years. I am extremely happy with all of them. I needed the heavy duty cream for my dry skin in winter.

Helped Restore My Skin
I have had good skin my entire life and then found myself with eczema on my face at 62 years old. The dermatologist prescribed eucrisa which burned and really did not give much relief. Our Pharmacist suggested if I could find a natural way to treat it, he felt it would be safer. I read up and looked at Amazon for reviews of lotions to restore the oil barrier to my skin. Sunflower oil and CereVe cream did the trick. Within a week of adding the Cereve to my new regimin and washing my face with Cetaphil Cleanser, my skin started to return to normal. CereVe is too thick to wear when I go out so I use it when I am home and especially at bedtime. Highly recommend!

Magic
I suddenly developed eczema a few months ago and this stuff works utter magic on my skin! After one day of regular use, the very obvious patch was nearly gone…the other problem spot I had took weeks to clear up without this cream, and looked angry the whole time. I will never be without this product, it’s also wonderful for slugging, you just need to make sure to fully wash it off in the morning or it will pill. Highly recommend this product!

Perfect moisturizer
I have had oily/acne prone skin since I was a teenager and have used countless products. This is by far my favorite moisturizer. I like to use this at night and a moisturizer with sunscreen in the morning, but you can always add sunscreen on top of this. My skin has never been softer 🙂

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
Outstanding product. No matter your skin type, CeraVe’s fragrance free cream will not only moisturize your skin, but also help rebuild and/or maintain it’s protective barrier.Many of us suffer from dry or damaged skin whether due to age or a medical condition. Regular use of this cream will reverse this process such that it looks, feels and reacts like that of a young person.I’ve tried multiple brands of creams in my lifetime; some were better than others. CeraVe has surpassed all of them.
