CeraVe : Moisturizing Lotion

I am using two topical lotions - a Retina-A and something called Sodium Sulfate 10% that are working well for me. I've been using them for 2 months along with oral medication (Spironolactone, birth control, and as of last week, 2xday/500 mg Ampicillin). Yeah - I'm really eager for clear skin and attacking it form all angles. My skin gets SO dry with the lotions, and CeraVe helps. I used Aveeno for the last 3 years, and when I switched to CeraVe I noticed my skin peeling less immediately. I apply my topical lotions only at night and CeraVe every morning. I also wear a fair amount of cover up and foundation - so CeraVe helps keep my makeup from peeling off with my skin longer than Aveeno ever did.

Although it made me feel slightly oily, it did not break me out at all. I've been using this product for about a year but recently started using a different facewash that is less drying. Because of that, im now using less of the lotion and it doesnt make me feel oily anymore. This moisturiser is great but if you use too much it can leave you feeling oily. Still highly reccomended.

It's a great moisturizer while you are off the regimen, however if you put bp on your face before applying this moisturizer it turn really thick and won't spread very well. Force spreading will cause irritation.

My face was very dry and flakey for a very long time. Plus, it didn't help that my overall skin is very dry. I had tried several moisturizer products (face and body) and none of them work. I finally went to my dermatologist (THANK YOU DR. ASHLEY MAGOVERN!) and she recommended Cerave. I was so amazed and very satisfied of the outcome. I love the fact that it doesn't cost $100 or more like the other products I've used. My skin looks healthy thanks to Cerave!

I started using the regimen and was having incredibly dry, flaky skin. My old moisturizer wasn't cutting it. I tried a few others and they didnt work either. After using CeraVe for 1 day 95% of my flakiness was gone!.. It was like night and day. It has been about 2 weeks now and I am flake free most of the day, aside from when I eat sometimes I will get flaky around my mouth. I was very nervous to switch to a new moisturizer because I do have a tendancy to break out in small white heads on my chin area, but thus far I have been okay. The only real con is that it does tend to make my face very oily and greasy. I bought oil blotting tissues to use though so we'll see how they help!

LOVE it! I bought it to use on my face, but it worked so well I started using it on my chest and back as well. It's super hydrating but doesn't make my skin feel greasy or oily like some other moisturizers. I use CeraVe foaming wash in the AM, then the wash and this lotion at night. I started this combo when I started retinoids, and I never had a lick of dryness or redness.

I use Cerave AM with Epiduo, which treats my light acne. Epiduo has left my skin very dry and Cerave is to help soothe it. I've been using both products for a week. Cerave is a well priced, high quality product. I love that it contains SPF and the way it leaves my skin feeling, but it hasn't visibly helped my dryness yet. When rubbed in, it seems to not apply evenly / seems to not soak in well, and does not visibly help flakes, and only lasts for 3-5 hours before my skin is dry again. Granted, I've just started using the product that has been drying my skin. I recommend patting this into the skin rather than rubbing it. This helps to blend the product in more and is less abrasive. I expect that after another week or two of use I will have had a much better result from this product, after my skin gets more accustomed to the Epiduo and dryness ceases.

This is the best lotion I have ever tried. It works well in summer and in the coldest winters. Just use less during summer. No more flakes, super soft skin. This stuff is awesome and I have been using it for over a year religiously.

This stuff worked great, inexpensive, and didn't make me break out. I used it before I got on Accutane and it worked but I switched to CeraVe's moisturizing cream when I got on Accutane. I buy all CeraVe's products and love them.

I would recommend this for those who don't use the acne.org regimen. I used CeraVe for about a year, on my dermatologist's recommendation and liked it. It's lightweight and works really well under makeup. It never left me oily, which I really liked. I've found that it is not super compatible with the acne.org regimen. When I apply it over the BP, the CeraVe tends to ball up and doesn't really absorb. However, if I apply it to other areas that don't have a layer of BP, it's a great moisturizer. I especially like it here in Florida, where it can get really hot and muggy outside. It's a nice lightweight formula that is comfortable to wear, even on humid days.
