I want to like it

Pros:

Absorbs quickly
Plays well with makeup

Cons:

Comedogenic (cetaryl alcohol)
Tub container not very sanitary

I don't know why people obsess over this product; it has caused me massive daily breakouts. I wasn't sure what the cause was until I stopped using this product. Even the derm says it's not for use on the face: notice how the container is very careful to avoid that word. Its 4th ingredient ranks a 4 on the comedogenicity scale. Definitely ditch this one.

Pros:

Actually moisturizes well
Little to no scent
Great on my sensitive skin

Cons:

Kinda pricey; get it on sale

I love this stuff. It's basically the only moisturizer that plays nice with my face. I can put it on the worst patch of dry skin or eczema and I've never experienced any kind of burning. Note the difference between the CeraVe in the pump and the CeraVe in the tub -- I think the tub is far more moisturizing. Since using this (and 2% SA from Paula's Choice), my acne has decreased significantly.

I love cerave. 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.

Pros:

A HUGE quantity
Doesn't have a strong fragrance
Very moisturizing
Prevents flaking/drying from acne treatments (ex benzoyl peroxide)

Cons:

You have to rub this in good since it's pretty thick but I don't really mind

Great moisturizer for people with dry skin or someone using a drying acne treatment

Pros:

Huge quantity
Non comedogenic
Unscented
Moisturizes well

Cons:

Initially expensive
Distinct scent that may not be enjoyable
Can leave an oily residue

I use this any time after washing my face. In the morning I use it five minutes after applying Aczone and in the evening five minutes after applying Differin and Duac Topical Gel. It does a great job at moisturizing skin and it especially helpful if you have eczema (I do). I end up with super oily/shiny skin during the day after using it, but that is easily solved by using other products to wipe the oil away.

Pros:

Nice thick cream
non comedogenic
Soaks into my skin quickly
Skin feels so smooth
Stop my flaking skin while on Accutane which is amazing
Comes in a huge tub, mine is 1/4 gone and I use it 3 times a day all over my face for the last 3 months!

Cons:

Expensive, but you can search around online and get it for a decent price from $10 - $15

LOVE THIS! AMAZING
