Great moisturizers!
I don’t see the reason behind the hype. The effects aren’t that great.
I started using this moisturizer last winter and honestly it helped a lot with dry patches on my cheeks. It feels light but still hydrating, not sticky. There was one morning I forgot to wash my face and just slapped it on and it still felt fine. It stung a tiny bit once after I used retinol the night before so I skipped a day. Overall I’ll keep buying it.
I hear everyone rave about CeraVe but it did nothing special for me. The moisturizer felt sticky and didn’t absorb well. The skin wash was okay but didn’t help my dry patches like I hoped. I might try something else next time.
Love their anti-aging products. They don’t feel greasy and keep my skin smooth. I use the night cream, retinol serum, and eye cream. Great product and a great price!
Derm-recommended, gentle, and effective. Always loved CeraVe
It’s solid, but I didn’t see much change in my acne. Works better for dry skin than breakout-prone types.
I decided to try the Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, and it definitely made my skin smoother and clearer. I noticed fewer blackheads and a reduction in redness after a couple of weeks.
Bro this stuff saved my face. Literally. I had eczema and was using like 10 different things that made it worse. My doc told me to switch to CeraVe and I haven’t looked back. The tub of moisturizer is kinda ugly but it WORKS.
I have a sensitive skin and it does not irritate my skin because it is fragrance-free. Must try for those who have sensitive skin like me.
The CeraVe Facial Cleanser is highly recommended for daily use, particularly for sensitive or dry skin. If you’re looking for something gentle and hydrating, it seems to be a great choice!
This one surprised me. It’s hyped all over TikTok and YouTube, but it left my skin feeling tight and caused breakouts. Not for sensitive skin at all.
My dermatologist recommended this forever ago and I’ve been using it ever since. Then I saw a bunch of Gen Z girls raving about it on TikTok and I was like, okay, I’ve been on this! The hydrating cleanser is gentle and keeps my skin balanced. It’s not flashy, but it works.
Love their moisturizer! Whenever I buy moisturizers from the mall, I always buy their products
results are okay, i’ve tried better ones that are more affordable
Great moisturizer, keeps my skin hydrated all day.
Affordable and works well for dry and sensitive skin. Their moisturizers are super hydrating.
I used to think my dry skin was just something I had to live with—until I tried CeraVe’s Moisturizing Cream. The first time I used it, my skin felt instantly relieved. Within a week, the flakiness was gone, and my face looked so much smoother. I’ve been using it for months now, and I rarely get dry patches anymore. It’s simple but effective, and I love that it doesn’t have a strong scent or irritating ingredients.
The moisturizer is great for me as someone who has sensitive skin
The texture is nice, but the product itself is ineffective.
not hydrating enough for very dry skin.
It’s gentle, doesn’t foam much, but leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.
The CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is very hydrating and gentle,
It’s gentle, non-stripping, and leaves my skin feeling soft
shoutout to their support team for guiding me through the entire skincare routine. So impressed!
I was a loyal fan of this product for years, but something seems to have changed. The recent bottles I’ve bought have a sharp chemical or plastic-like odor, and sadly, they now cause immediate irritation when I use them. It’s disappointing to see a trusted favorite take such a turn.
CeraVe is my only trusted brand. All their products that I’ve tried are gentle, suitable for my sensitive skin.
Great products as usual.
CeraVe’s hand cream is amazing especially for dry skin and cold burns.
Product is a great investment especially if you’re looking for reliable products for the skin.
I’ve tried countless moisturizing creams, but this one takes the cake. It really works for my dry skin.
Bought Cerave as recommended by my derma. So far so good. I’m satisfied with the results.
Products are amazing! After a week, my skin looks more radiant and feels so soft. Worth every penny!
