Pros:

Incredible moisturizer. Soaks in easily and does not make my face feel greasy or break my skin out. This product allows me to use my prescriptions from my Dr. that previously I could not due to overdrying.

Cons:

None.

Wonderful, light weight, easily absorbed lotion that counteracts the drying effects of acne control products.

Pros:

Great for use with retinoids. No breaking out. No scent. No complaints! I would recommend to anyone with problem skin.

Cons:

For those with normal/oily skin or in humid locations- may think its too much mouisture for the day.

If you feel you have tried everything else out there with no luck. Get back to the basics and try this stuff.

Pros:

Moisturizes very well, and leaves even very dry skin quite soft. Is fragrance free, affordable, and the packaging isn't all that bad. You quite quite a bit in a $14 (plus tax) bottle, so it's worth your money. Solid product.

Cons:

BROKE ME OUT. Terribly. I was actually very surprised, because people have been raving about it being noncomedogenic. It's given me cysts on my chin and ruined weeks of acne-fighting progress.

Not everyone will react perfectly to Cerave - either that, or I'm a freak. I expected this to become my holy grail moisturizer - applied it before going to bed and woke up with my skin feeling softer and glowing. About four hours later I noticed new acne had cropped up, and the next had a full breakout all over my cheeks and on my chin. I have small papules/whiteheads, and worst of all, cysts (about 1cm wide) all over my chin. I'd been making good progress with my current regimen (glycerin soap + MaMa lotion), and had finally been getting my moderate acne under control. My left side was actually completely clear, apart from some red marks, but now it's covered in new pimples. My right (worst) side looks even worse, and my chin looks like a minefield. I am pretty upset about this, and exchanged Cerave today for some Complex 15. Overall, I do think it's a good moisturizer, and am pissed at my skin for not taking to it. You'll love it if it doesn't break you out.

Best moisturizer
February 11, 2009

Pros:

best moisturizer EVER. Non greesey feeling and blends in easily.

Cons:

No SPF.

I have tried every moisturizer on the market and this is by far the best. Will never look back.
February 10, 2009

Pros:

very light, almost gel-like consistency, doesn't make me break out, non-greasy

Cons:

none, really.. wish it had SPF but I have never found an SPF lotion that wasn't super sticky and greasy

so I decided to use this lotion after extensive research (I research all my products, and i'm a product junkie). I love the consistency, as I said above, as its non-greasy and feels really light. BE CAREFUL THOUGH because the pump dispenses a LOT of lotion-- its made for the whole body but works better than any face lotion i've tried. a little bit goes a looonnnggg way! try a tiny bit and build from there. less is more. I use from head to toe-- great lotion! oh ps... go to Rite Aid and some walgreens stores. or [link removed]. otherwise, you may not be able to find it. its about twelve dollars, but it'll last you half a year or more and I use it for the entire body!

Pros:

Non-comedogenic, affordable, found at my local Walgreen's, pump bottle.

Cons:

Hmmm...no SPF. But it's not a big deal. It would probably make my face greasy if there was SPF in it.

I have tried every single moisturizer out there!!! It's hard to find one to use after applying benzoyl peroxide. Most left a white residue or mixed with my BP and created globs all over my face. But with this product, I have had no problems. It may seem light, but it does a great job at moisturizing, plus it doesn't make my face oily either (and I have very oily skin!). And it's not outrageously expensive like some other products. I don't break out at all from using this! Give it a try!

Pros:

Love it, doesn't make my sensitive skin break out. Got hooked when it was the only thing that worked on my poor skin with Accutane. Great for Eczema too!

Cons:

It seems a bit greasy at first, but it does get better (or did for me). A little pricey BUT the size is larger than most.

Okay, I am extremely skeptical with products, I have tried them all. I had never heard of Cerave until I decided to try Accutane (a very nice nurse suggested it to me because my doctor was a... This nurse loaded me with samples because the product had helped her daughter so much who had skin just like mine). I had such a reaction with eczema, super dry cracking skin, and a horrid flare up with the medicine that my normal Khiel's cream did not even slightly alleviate, but this did. If you prefer a cream, there is one, it's definitely heavier than the lotion but just as good. I am preferable to the lotion. My skin doesn't generally soak any lotion, nor can I use any toners because it just sits on my skin which puzzled the doctors, however this for whatever reason does. If you perhaps have an issue in regards to having stuff not soak your skin well and your skin is not only sensitive but greasy and dry, I recommend you try this. If you have a doc ask for samples to try, then buy.

Pros:

This is a great moisturizer that calms down my acne rosacea and doesn't cause breakouts. It also doesn't leave a greasy film and works well under makeup. I use it head to toe.

Cons:

None as far as I'm concerned.

Awesome moisturizer for my very dry, fragile, rosacea-prone skin. Doesn't clog pores but does help with flaky skin from treatment and/or dry weather.
