CeraVe Moisturizing Cream Daily Moisturizer Reviews Summary

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "My skin always feels soft without feeling like it's coated in something."
• "This thing will last me FOREVER. A little goes a long way with this product."
• "It absorbs quickly and is not greasy at all."
• "It's thick, it's rich and it lasts."
• "Hydration (5/5): Instant and lasting moisture without greasiness."
• "The cream's versatility is remarkable – suitable for both face and body."
• "It absorbs completely, without any greasiness."
• "It's neither sticky nor greasy, and feels great on the skin."

Cons:

• "The overall texture/viscosity is kind of like crisco shortening. Difficult to spread over your limbs and body."
• "So it didn't come with a seal and it has a hole that looks like someone dug into it... it kinda had like a sticky feel on my skin."
• "This was purchased for me off of my cancer treatment wish list... But when being slack, I will use this tub of moisturizer cream sparingly from my bathroom countertop."
• "The product is too heavy and does not absorb on the skin. It feels disgusting when applied."
• "It leaves persistent white traces of it wherever I put it no matter how much I rub."
• "It’s hard to actually evenly apply the stuff to my skin and seems to take a while to actually absorb into my skin."
• "When I put this on it’s weirdly both greasy (think carmex-feeling) and sticky/tacky."
• "The consistency is very thick, dry, and sticky/greasy."

Effectiveness for Dry and Sensitive Skin

Pros:

• "Especially for dry & sensitive skin. This thing will last me FOREVER."
• "It is SO NICE. I do not break out, and I've noticed such a positive effect on my skin."
• "My skin is so fussy- it's very dehydrated and it sometimes breaks out when I try new products."
• "My skin is dehydrated in sections, and when I shower, I itch so badly. When I get out of the shower and put this cream on my body, the itching immediately stops ⛔."
• "This product did not disappoint. I ordered after reading a magazine article about best face moisturizing face cream."
• "I have dry and sensitive skin. This cream really keeps me moisturized for 15 plus hours."
• "I have dry skin and a combination-dry face. I use this cream in tandem with the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and it is fantastic."
• "I have sensitive 'combination' skin that dries out easily but can also become very oily in some areas depending on the moisturizer I'm using."

Cons:

• "It felt great on my skin but just wasn't good for my skin type I assume. Left white bumps above my lip."
• "Unfortunately my most recent one was a thinner consistency than normal and when I used it I had an allergic reaction all over my face."
• "Every time I use it I wake up with new pimples/cysts :( I thought maybe it’s just my skin purging but it’s been a long time with no improvement."
• "I have oily skin and have been using this product as a nighttime moisturizer for a few weeks now. Every time I put this on, I watch as, in just a few minutes, all the pores on my nose fill up."
• "The product is too heavy and does not absorb on the skin. It feels disgusting when applied and could not wait to get home and wash off."
• "I had never used CeraVe products before but always wanted to try. As we got into the colder months, I knew my skin would need something richer and seeing this product 40% off made me purchase it without a doubt."
• "I have normal/combination skin. I've been using this moisturizer for my face morning and night for about a year. I live in a dry climate, and this product is neither to light to compete with the dryness, and not to heavy to use all year round!"
• "I used Cerave all over my body all winter until one dayI saw many bloggers saying that this product is very good for wiping the face, especially for sensitive skin."

Packaging and Delivery

Pros:

• "It came fully intact, sealed, and unused and is not an off brand."
• "I usually like this product but after trying 2 times to purchase it on Amazon and both times it coming without a seal on it, I'll just buy it somewhere else."
• "I buy this lotion in the large size, then refill smaller containers I have with it."
• "I'm a guy and have only used Aveeno and Eucerin off the shelf during winter months because the central heat dries my skin. This product is noticeably less sticky and less oily than both."

Cons:

• "Like many others mine came with NO seal and looks like it’s been used as there was a big dent in it."
• "I noticed it didn't have a tamper proof seal but neither did any of the new ones at Walmart."
• "I love this moisturizer, but it arrived completely opened and damaged. I could not recover the moisturizer from its container."
• "Disclaimer: I use this product and love it. This review is strictly about how poorly the jar of skin cream was packaged and shipped."
• "The product is hands down an amazing product! Been using for years and totally love it! Usually I bought this from a store like Walgreens but this time decided online and get it shipped…Not sure if to blame the packaging or the shipping… the seal came and and some of the product leaked… not a big deal in my opinion since I was using for myself vs. a gift for someone else."
• "Product is great. Great moisturizer for daily use. Package arrived today but the container opened in the box. It was poorly packaged.Writing this review so that I can get some assistance from customer service as the return/refund options require me to send this back.@customer service please assist."
• "The tub came with no outer sealing and no inner sealing. The lid opened easily and the lotion was exposed. I’d purchased this in a store in the past and there was definitely an inner seal I had to open in order to use the lotion. Not feeling comfortable using this, even though it said it was new."
• "I like this cream and have been ordering repeatedly. But for the recent purchases, I found that all items received were without any outer package nor inner seal. There used to be inner seal inside the cap. I would like to buy this cream again but have GREAT concern on the hygiene issue if they arrived without any seal."
