Pros:

Moisturizers well
Got rid of flakes FAST

Cons:

Burned my skin when used with BP
No SPF

I really wanted to like this, but I simply could not get it to work for my skin when using the BP from Dan's Regimen. I got a horrible burning rash, but only when I used it with the BP. I stopped using the BP for one day to see if that was what was causing the problem. Sure enough, it was. I recalled Dan saying that glycerin could cause a burning problem for some (which CeraVe has), the reason that his original moisturizer is no longer being offered. So it works if you don't have acne, pretty much. If you have to use BP, look elsewhere. I've started to use DML with SPF 25 during the daytime and broke down and bought more of Dan's moisturizer for nighttime. So far, I've had pretty good results, but I am still trying to heal my skin from getting burnt with the CeraVe. Time will tell.

Pros:

Goes on smooth
Doesn't irritate skin
non-greasy

Cons:

None

This is my favorite of several moisturizers that I've tried. The ingredients are pretty good; I don't believe it's led to breakouts. I am a male and use Dan's BP, which dries out my skin a bit. I've relied on this moisturizer quite a bit to help repair the dry skin, and am pleased with the results. It doesn't always alleviate the flakiness, but for the price you can't beat it.

Pros:

-Very light
-Moisturizes very well
-Gets rid of flakiness & redness
-NOT oily

Cons:

-Takes practice to use the lotion properly

It doesn't feel thick at all like most moisturizers. The best part is that my skin doesn't feel dry with the lotion and it doesn't make my skin any more oily than it already is. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because you have to apply A LOT of the lotion if you are using Dan's BP. If you don't use a lot then the cream dries up quickly and leaves a lot of residue (especially if you have facial hair). If you use the 2-3 pumps Dan recommends make sure to use a lot of the lotion. I use .5-1 pump so I don't need to apply so much of the moisturizer.

Pros:

Moisturizes
leaves skin very smooth
doesn't leave skin greasy

Cons:

none! :)

I have not been able to find a good moisturizer until my doctor recommended this to me. This is the best moisturizer I have ever used on my face. It was a little pricey for me, but it comes in a big bottle. I will continue using this product! :)

Pros:

Very light lotion, keeps skin moisturized but not oily, gives you a very natural shine, makes skin feel smooth!

Cons:

None!

I have been using Cerave for almost 5 years now. I love this lotion. It's so lightweight, it doesn't feel like you're putting thick lotion on your face. It's definitely worth the price, and they frequently have coupons available online!!

extremely gentle on skin
helps restore and maintain protective skin barrior
moisturizes the best out of any other lotion i've ever tried
reasonable price for the huge bottle it comes in that lasts forever
available at any convienence store

Cons:

literally none! :-)

to sum it all up, this is probably the hands down BEST moisturizer i've ever used, and let me explain why i think so highly of this product. first of all, about seven days ago i was out on vacation with my family to go snowboarding in the mountians! i typically do the acne.org regiman and my face looks fenominal 95% of the time, with the exception of a small breakout right before my menstration cycle. anyways, the first day we were out on the mountians, i refused to put on sunscreen (for some stupid reason) and as a result, i got a 3rd degree windburn/sunburn that didn't show up on my face until the next day, but when it did, HOLY COW it was the most aweful looking, painful, embarassing thing i've ever had to experience on my face! blisters EVERYWHERE all along my cheecks, chin, and around my lips! all the blisters looked like they just formed together to make one huge blister, and were bright red! and to top it off, my lips were all puffed up and huge! appealing, right? then about five days later the blisters went all down and my face started pealing like no other! so i tried putting gobs and gobs of moisturizer on it, but nothing was strong enough! (oh, and i didn't use BP at all for at least seven days! just wash and moisturize! my skin was dry enough!) so right when we got back from vacation, i ran up to the local pharmacy in search of a miricle on earth to save my poor, beat up face. thank God i stumbled across this product, because literally within three days it saved my face! it moisturized all the dry spots that peeled off the next day, and hydrated the new, soft skin beautifully! my skin is glowing, moisutirized, and feeling healthy again, and i owe it all to this product! i am DEFINATLY keeping this as a staple moisturizer! oh, and it didn't make my typically oily face look discusting! not even remotly! i totally reccomend this to anyone, give it a try! :-)

Pros:

Really creamy and rich but still liquidy
Didn't burn or irritate my sensitive BP/ Retin-A skin
Cheap

Cons:

None

Great product. I wanted something plain and not irritating. All of the stuff they sell either has alcohol, acne fighters or is anti-aging for moisturizers. I don't have wrinkles, and the alcohol and acne fighters are what dry out my skin. This lotion is so great.

this is seriously the best lotion for your face. I used to use Cetaphil for me face, which is another awesome moisturizer, but it was really heavy on my face. CeraVe is so lightweight and even perfect for people who have acne, like me.

Pros:

Moisturized pretty well
lightweight and doesnt clump up over BP

Cons:

Made my face SO red and felt like it was burning

I must be allergic to something in this, or the combonation of this moisturizer with dan's BP does not work for me. My face was red, hot, and swollen the entire time I used this moisturizer and I was SO embarrassed to go out of my house.
