Pros:

nice lotion and is light weight. Leaves no residue on skin.

Cons:

It didn't seem to absorb to easily and you had to work it in. Didn't moisturize as well as other products have.

Its a very nice lotion and it does do a good job, but when you are on BP and you need extra hydration and flake control it just doesn't work. I much prefer Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion which works a lot better and you don't have to use as much.

Pros:

goes on smooth, non-greasy, great for oily acne-prone sensitive skin

Cons:

none

It works and leaves skin nice and baby soft. My dermatologist gave it to me as a sample so i didn't pay a dime! I have hyperpigmenting skin and this is by far the best anti-acne moisturizer. I plan on using this for a long time. Cetaphil lotion has done wonders for my friend, NOW I have a product to brag about!

Pros:

Takes away flakes and Dry Skin INSTANTLY!
Made my skin baby soft after just one use
NON-IRRITATING!:)

Cons:

NONE NONE NONE!

Well after hearing reviews on here i decided i had to try it out so i made my mom go out in the middle of the night to buy me a bottle.. Well let me just tell you something This is the best AND I MEAN THE BEST moisturizer i had ever used and i didnt have to go through a ton of namebrands of moisturizers to find it!! I will Never Go back NEVER! It is the only thing that got rid of my dry spots and Flaky skin. Before Cerave it took me 2.5 hrs just to do my makeup since it was so hard to do cuz of my dry flaky skin but now it takes only 30 min! I thought i would never see the day when i was flake free.. This moisturizer is a Dream come true!!:)

Pros:

This is the ONLY lotion I have used on my face that HAS NOT made my face explode!

Cons:

No SPF!!!! Wish it moisturized a bit more, but a couple of drops of Dan's Jojoba oil mixed in makes it better at night.

My skin totally freaks out when I use BP...this is the ONLY lotion that keeps my skin from being one big, nasty, flaky mess. AND it's the only lotion I have ever used that has not caused MORE horrible acne! I do wish it had SPF so I could wear it during the day :(

Pros:

no smell, no greasy, good to use on whole body

Cons:

none

I have had moderate adult acne for six years. I have tried at least 15 topical prescriptions, several BCP's, had chemical peels, used holistic remedies, used the 'clear skin diet' book...to name just a few (all with no changes in my skin). Shortly after starting to use BP at night, and cerave during the day my acne began to dissapear. My skin is now flawless again and the texture of my face has changed completely. I attribute that all to using CeraVe.

Pros:

Amazing stuff... I use Tazorac, which dries the skin like crazy. But after I started using this lotion, my skin no longer peels, or is dry. My face is soft, and has a nice natural glow.

Cons:

A little greasy.

A must buy if you use any of the retinoids.

Pros:

lightweight, not oily or sticky, no perfume smell. This review is for the Cereve PM.

Cons:

no SPF, but it's for evening use.

Cereve PM feels comfortable on the skin, and it absorbs quickly. It's great for night time use. I got it for my son while he was on accutane because Cetaphil cream was a bit too heavy. Now that he is done w/accutane he continues to use Cereve at night. It seems to be very gentle. His skin is super sensative, and this doesn't sting his skin like everything else he tried. I use it too! No break- outs for either of us.
