CeraVe Moisturizing Hydrating Travel Cleanser Reviews Summary

Moisturizing Effectiveness

Pros:

• "Lasts well over 24 hrs and penetrates deep-- not just softening on the surface but like actual repair."
• "This absorbs quickly for how thick it is and isn’t greasy after a few seconds."
• "So far this is the best cream that I've used it does not leave any oily residue instead absorbs into your skin and it works."
• "It's actually a thick creme which I have never tried before... But the CeraVe seems to repair my skin overnight."
• "It is so rich but doesn't leave a greasy residue, doesn't irritate my skin."
• "It goes on thick but absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel greasy."
• "It moisturizes really well... The moisturizing effect doesn't just 'go away', it stays with my skin all day."

Cons:

• "Coating the skin is not the same as moisturizing, and Ceravue appears to simply coat the skin."
• "This cream left my skin dry. It did not feel moisturized at all."
• "Despite consistent use, my dry skin did not get better, until I switched to another product that actually moisturizes skin."
• "It isn’t really moisturizing, it feels more like it sits on top of my skin until I wash it out."
• "This one doesn't feel very moisturizing compared to others."
• "If a moisturizer contains alcohol, it could dry out your skin in the long run... This cream moisturized temporarily for me, but over the course of a couple months (with daily use) my skin is still dry overall."
• "We stopped ordering because... it doesn’t work on my son’s eczema like the brand usually does, and the texture was grainy."

Scent and Texture

Pros:

• "I love that it has no scent and is approved by the National Eczema Association."
• "It smells sort of icky and 'hospice-y' when fresh out of the jar, but it absorbs very quickly and then the smell goes away."
• "Not much of a scent to it, so that is a plus for me."
• "There's no scent & it instantly absorbs into your skin!!"
• "It is literally scent free, as advertised, doesn’t cause oily skin."
• "I like that there’s no fragrance."
• "Has no scent."

Cons:

• "It feels a little tacky on the face though, until it 'sinks in', most likely because of the petrolatum."
• "The consistency for this particular product is heavier than normal because it’s a cream formula however it doesn’t FEEL heavy when using."
• "But the one I had got earlier from regular store had a fishy smell that people say here."
• "But has a very weird smell AFTER application."
• "I love the feel and consistency of the cream, but cannot stand the fishy odor."
• "It has a bit of a fishy smell in the container."
• "The consistency of the cream is very thick and sticky... The stickiness on my skin starts to dissipate throughout the day but never really goes away."

Packaging and Quality Assurance

Pros:

• "The container was full, and the product looked absolutely fine."
• "I open the product and it was full! Very happy with it!"
• "I love the pump because it’s much more convenient to use, also you won’t worry your fingers would contaminate whatever left in the can."
• "This tub of moisturizer will last me what feels like forever (honestly probably a year)."
• "A relatively small dab of this CeraVe cream easily spreads over my whole face, sometimes with leftover for my elbows."
• "I end up just leaving the pump unscrewed and using it as a regular tub."
• "Great texture NOT too thin and NOT too thick of a product."

Cons:

• "For years I have been using this product. This is the first time the container has not been sealed."
• "One thing that surprised me when I unscrewed the top is that there was no seal."
• "I love this moisturizer, and I will be buying it again. But I'll be returning the one recently sent to me due to it being open upon arrival."
• "The last 2 times I have ordered CeraVe 19 oz. the jar has had no seal on it."
• "Item received unsealed, not in its original packing and missing some of the product."
• "The product was not sealed shut, It was loose when it came."
• "I just received this item and not happy at all because there is no seal and the top was actually loose."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The quality is great for the price point."
• "The cost is almost nothing compared to all the other creams I tried over all those years."
• "There’s a great amount of product for a super low price and a little of this lotion goes a long way!"
• "This price is cheaper than Costco so def worth buying."
• "Awesome product for a very reasonable price!"
• "I love that the moisturizer is absolutely non-greasy, has no bothersome scent and is reasonable in price."
• "I wish I could afford to give a jar of this to everyone I love!"

Cons:

• "Goes on nicely, doesn't feel greasy. I feel like for the price, this should work much better than it does."
• "They're over priced for what they do/don't do."
• "It is expensive compared to some cremes/lotions, but I use it in the mornings and evenings and 36 weeks pregnant now with no stretch marks."
• "Ultimately, I would say that this one will not make it to round 2 of my search for a new moisturizer."
• "Horrible product. Does nothing."
• "CeraVe is not cruelty-free. They may test on animals, either themselves, through their suppliers, or through a third party."
• "CereVe is a great product but don't trust Amazon."

Effect on Skin Conditions

Pros:

• "This cream does an excellent job of keeping my child's skin eczema-free."
• "Being a nurse, I’m washing my hands and using alcohol based hand sanitizer a million times a day. So of course this made my eczema even worse! Another nurse recommended this and I saw a new dermatologist who prescribed clobetasol cream. I could not believe that after years of suffering with painful horrid itching that I started seeing and feeling immediate results!"
• "The cream stops the never-ending-itch of my psoriasis."
• "Our go to cream. We’re an eczema family and this doesn’t irritate and isn’t too greasy."
• "I've had eczema on my hands for most of my life... Cerave moisturizing cream is amazing; it has enabled me to cut back significantly on these medications."
• "This cream is a life changer, the softest my skin has ever felt, week three of twice a day use and there is just mild scales still."
• "The cream is fantastic. I have severe eczema and I could not live without this."

Cons:

• "After using for a few days (2-3 days), the affected area start getting red bumps (rashes) with severe dryness and irritation."
• "I have used both CeraVe night cream and body cream for a few weeks and within that time I noticed large red spots on my legs."
• "It kinda irritated skin a bit on my cheek."
• "If you've used CeraVe products and experienced a burning sensation, you may be allergic to the ingredient, tocopherol (topical Vitamin E), like me."
• "Allergic reactions can happen from any skin products, but be aware of potential side effects from this particular product."
• "We stopped ordering because... it doesn’t work on my son’s eczema like the brand usually does, and the texture was grainy."
• "Getting a 'non-comedogenic' product was super important to me. And this one was on a list of recommended ones, but I think it must just have been based on those words being on the tub. It doesn't exacerbate my rosacea, it doesn't smell, and it did moisturize. BUT, it gave me pimples where I never got them before."
