Does not fit with the regimen

If you are on the regimen, this moisturizer isn't the right one. When I applied it after the BP, it started burning and stinging. I tried applying this moisturizer for 4 days but the burning sensation never vanished. Throwed away the bottle.

Cheap and works like a charm
If you don't have sensitive skin and you're looking for a basic but effective, lotion, this is for you.

A literal life saver!!!!!
This lotion, after six months is one i still use everyday and it makes your complexion so smooth with such a little amount especially when you're on the regimen. I saw no breakouts when i made the switch and i continue to see none after using it for so long

Caused breakouts and clogged pores
I heard awesome things about this and decided to give it a shot for a month. On my skin, this broke me out tremendously (I have no clue why :( ) and gave me so so many whiteheads even though it is supposed to not clog your pores. Sadly, this made my skin so much worse :(

Best Moisturizer EVER!
I follow a dermatologist on youtube, Dr Dray. This is what she recommends and it has been a life changer. It has ceramides in it to help reinforce your skins natural barrier. Studies have shown that people with acne have low levels of ceramides. It is so light and leaves the skin perfectly moisturized. I have tried so many different skin care products and this just might be the best.

    Not identical to the Cerave PM facial moisturizer
    Just an FYI- i see a ton of ppl saying this is identical to the Cerave PM facial moisturizer-- it is not. The facial moisturizer has Niacinamide in the main first ingredients, which is an extremely beneficial vitamin for skin. I know a lot of folks like using this, but I recommend using moisturizers made specifically for the face--- on the face. This does not say its a facial moisturizer anywhere on the bottle, and i think Cerave created ones for the face for that specific reason. Just because ingredients listed are close and the same, doesnt mean its identical and formulated for the face vs. the body. Also want to add, over the ten years Ive used DKR's BP etc... ive learned that just bc a product has a highly listed and ranked comedogenic ingredient doesnt necessarily mean you'll have a bad experience or that you shouldnt try it. It may give you no issues-- everyones skin is different. One of the daily moisturizers Id been using for years had Isopropyl Isostearate as the main ingredient which is one of the highest comedogenic ingredients-- never gave me issues. I had no idea until I looked on here but had used it for years- no issues. So dont be afraid to try things to see if they may work for you. Just some thougts!

    immediate cystic acne/skin rash that was red and irritated beyond belief
    by recommendation I purchased this (and stopped using my HG Kheil's wash and lotion) in order to save money. this lotion was okay the first two nights but gave some slight itchiness through the day. by the third day I woke up to 3 whiteheads 2cm wide and redness through the rest of my face. I gave the lotion the benefit of the doubt for 1 week and used it twice a day. NOPE. my skin is the worst it's ever been this year and I will throw this CeraVe lotion away.

      Absolutely LOVE this!
      This is my first review on here but think this is definitely worth it! I have moderate to severe acne which is mostly cystic and have had for about 7 years now. I will be going on accutane/isotretinoin on the 30th of August so I have decided to start my regime early! I have purchased this moisturiser due to all the good reviews and feedback on blogs, vlogs and threads for accutane. I have been using this just over a week and the difference is unbelievable!! My skin feels so much more hydrated, it is not greasy at all and it really does what it says. It creates a moisturising barrier for your skin so your skin really feels protected. I find it is a great base for makeup and feels like it doesn't let the makeup sink into my skin and clog my pores. I have found I don't even need to use a primer!! Also the difference I have noticed is my skin feels much more plump and my acne scars seem like they're fading. I am using this in conjuction with Cetaphil gentle cleanser which I have noticed soothes my redness however this moisturiser seems to soothe even more! My skin looks a lot less irritated, less red and my hyper-pigmentation is diminishing. If anybody has any questions feel free to ask :) I am going to be doing frequent posts on my profile about my accutane experience which I hope helps any other people out there in limbo over taking accutane or on the same journey as me :)

          I have tried the cetaphil cleanser before and i didn't feel like it was effectively cleaning my skin. i am now using neutrogena's hydro boost gel cleanser and it's amazing. it's super gentle, removes my makeup, and leaves my skin feeling plump. i have hated ALL neutrogena products until i tried this. i also use the cerave moisturizer and it's the BEST.

            I use the Cetaphil gentle cleanser to wash my face, and apply benzoyl peroxide on my acne, do you think it is recommended to use this moisturizer even if I have an oily acne prone skin type and this says normal to dry skin?

            amazing loton
            I have combinaiton (easily clogged skin) and I use this on my face. I think it is one of the best creams I have ever used. Recently went back on Retin-A for wrinkle reduction and to battle clogged pores. In the past, I have found that the first few weeks on Retin-A are rough: dry, chaffed, peeling, red skin. But this time, I have had no problem b/c I have been using this lotion which is incredibly light but seems to soothe and moisturize exceptionally well. It's also been the dead of winter with extremely low tempatures and my skin doesn't feel dry at all. A-m-a-z-i-n-g and so cheap.
