Best moisturizer.

Pros:

Smooth skin instantly
No more flakes
Good under makeup

I recently bought this because I was starting to get dry patches (due to too much topical BP.) Instantly, the flakes went away. The redness went away a little too. It made my skin so soft and smooth. JUST AFTER ONE USE. It hasn't caused me to break out either, which is so nice. I even use this under my eyes because it's so gentle. You also get so much for such a good price. It'll last a long time! This moisturizer is good for under makeup too. It makes my makeup go on smooth.

Great.

Pros:

Moisturizes
Doesn't clog my pores.
Not thick.

Cons:

Your skin can look greasy the first 45 minutes after applied.

Best lotion I've tried. Works best as a night moisturizer in my opinion.

Leaves a sticky feeling

Pros:

Moisturizes

Cons:

Leaves sticky feeling

I like that this lotion is lightweight feeling on my face. It is effective in moisturizing my face but it seems like no matter how little I use, it always leaves a sticky feeling on my face. I don't even use half a pump.

Burned my skin to oblivion

Pros:

Very moisturizing, keeps flakes to a minimum
Not too greasy
Bottle is big enough to last a while

Cons:

BURNS!

Unfortunately this just did NOT work for me. Keep in mind that everyone's skin is different, and oftentimes the only way to know if a skincare is right for you or not is to try it. I was hoping this would be the answer to my dry skin / flaking problem (I had recently started the Regimen and my Neutrogena Oil-Free Combo just wasn't cutting it). Long story short, this DID moisturize my skin tremendously, and it left me with only a couple flakes around my mouth, instead of flake city. And this was only after one day of use. However, I had to stop using it almost immediately as it just burned my skin beyond anything I'd felt before (except maybe with Cetaphil). Prior to this product, my face wasn't really all that red or irritated, despite 2 pumps BP night / day for a week. Enter CeraVe. As soon as I put it on, it felt like acid melting my face off. My temples and cheekbones suffered the most. It wasn't the mild burn that a lot of people experience when applying moisturizer post-BP... it was the kind of burn that keeps you awake all night. Needless to say I was very disappointed, as this would have been a miracle product if my skin hadn't reacted so negatively. For many people it seems to work fine: I was just one of the unlucky minority.

Best all around moisturizer I've used.

Pros:

Non greasy
Doesn't cause breakouts

Cons:

Very greasy
Causes breakouts
I'm kidding, no real cons

I've been using this moisturizer for a few weeks now and it hasn't caused me to break out any more than normal which is pretty much the most important thing for me when starting a new product. It doesn't leave a greasy feeling after application like Cetaphil did for me (I have oily skin) and it hydrates well enough. I will definitely continue to use this for all my dry skin needs.

Love it.

Pros:

Very moisturizing
Non-greasy & Lightweight (If you use reasonable amount)
Noncomedogenic

Cons:

Greasy if you use to much

CeraVe moisturizer has to be one of the best products I've ever used. It doesn't seem to be to heavy, and if you use a reasonable amount it wont be greasy either. It's by far the cheapest high quality product (contains Hyaluronic acid and ceramides) and only cost me about 13$. I would recommend it as a face lotion and especially as a body lotion.

Doesn't Do a Whole Lot

Pros:

Drys fast

Cons:

Too many ingredients
Too light

Cerave all and all makes a very light moisturizer, but a bit too light for my dry Colorado skin. I'm sure this product may work for someone with better skin moisture, but putting that many ingredients on my face isn't worth how little it actually does for me.

Pros:

Non comedogenic
Non greasy
Non habit forming (I don't know what else to put here)

Cons:

Not exactly a heavy-duty moisturizer

I've used CeraVe Lotion on and off for a couple of years and never could decide if it caused acne, but I eventually got my acne under control and continued to use CeraVe with no problems. It's a great lightweight moisturizer that sinks into your skin without feeling greasy. I do want to stress "lightweight" because sometimes I feel the need to use multiple applications on certain areas in order to feel moisturized. It's not bad by any means, but it might be too light for some compared to a heavier moisturizer like Lac-Hydrin Five or jojoba oil. My acne facial regimen literally consists of nothing except washing my face with water and applying CeraVe.

Pros:

Moisturizes my skin well
Doesn't make me break out
Doesn't irritate my skin
Doesn't make my skin look oily

Cons:

Pricey

This is the only moisturizer I've ever used, I was debating on whether to get this or the cetaphil moisturizer, but since I've heard better things about this one I decided to get it. It's about 3 dollars more than the cetaphil moisturizer I think, but it moisturizes my skin very well, doesn't make my skin look oily, and it doesn't break me out.

I love cerave!! Instead of the lotion, i use the Mouisturizing CREAM. This is the only cream that works for my face.. When i started using this product i was in shock on the changes that my face was having. I highly reccomand it. -By the way i clean my face everyday with the oxy cleanser before puting the cream in my face. Oxy and Cerave is the only two products that reduced my acne.
