I’d almost given up on finding a moisturiser that worked for my skin. I’m 42 with sensitive, dehydrated skin, and after trying other products my face became very dry and peeled in large patches. My cheeks, nose and chin were red and textured, and makeup just wasn’t sitting well.
I decided to try the CeraVe Moisturising Cream, and after just a few days I could already see a noticeable improvement. The redness has calmed down, my skin feels much more comfortable, and the rough, dehydrated texture has started to smooth out. It feels rich without being greasy, absorbs well, and hasn’t irritated my sensitive skin at all.
It’s honestly the best my skin has looked in years, and I’m so glad I gave it a try. I’ll definitely be repurchasing.
I’ll admit I’m a sucker for fancy packaging and a bit of dodgy marketing that promises me the skin of a 20 year old despite my addiction to the sun. So moisturisers like this one have never really been on my radar.
I always assumed they were a bit basic because they didn’t have a celeb endorsement or exotic sounding ingredients or words like ‘instant smoothing’ and ‘glowing’ all over the packaging.
Anyway, my skincare snobbery recently came back to haunt me as after one dose of snail serum or something like it too many, my skin rebelled. Not just a mini pimple protest but a full on demonstration of eczema, red raw skin, itchiness, spots and acne.
It won’t surprise you to learn that nothing in my bathroom cabinet came to my rescue. I didn’t want glowing skin, I just wanted skin that didn’t look like someone had taken a hot poker to it.
I desperately searched the internet into the small hours and noted that this cerave moisturiser came up time and again. Basic and unscented for the win! So I ordered it in and slathered it on, and in very little time my skin became calmer and the pimples gave up their protest.
However, reader, I’m ashamed to admit that I did not learn my lesson. Whilst grateful to this cream for coming to my rescue, I couldn’t wait to get back to my complicated and expensive skincare regime, and the promised land of glowing glass skin or whatever nonsense I was getting sucked back into.
Thankfully though, I started to realise that not only had this cream calmed my skin, it was actually starting to feel great. Nourished, hydrated, smooth, more even. You know, the things that actually matter and are actually obtainable without heading to Harley street.
I’m now on my third tub which takes some doing as the tubs are huge. Given the bargain price of this stuff, I love taking out large scoops in my fingers and whacking it generously over my face without worrying that spreading some onto my neck might cost the equivalent to half a months rent. And I know a tub isn’t glamorous but who cares when you can easily get every last bit out – unlike a tube where it’s frustratingly obvious that there’s still lots in there that just won’t come out.
So all in all, it might look basic and boring, but in terms of actual results I’d swap it for snail slime, bee venom and seaweed any day
I’ve been using CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for several weeks, and the results have been excellent. The cream is rich and hydrating without feeling greasy, and it keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day.
It absorbs well, helps soothe dryness, and works great on both my face and body. I also appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin. After regular use, my skin feels softer, smoother, and much healthier.
A little goes a long way, making the container last a long time. I highly recommend this cream to anyone looking for effective, long-lasting hydration.
I’ve tried quite a few moisturisers over the years, and this is one I keep coming back to. It does a great job of hydrating dry skin without feeling greasy or overly heavy once it’s absorbed.
The cream is thick enough to feel nourishing, especially on drier areas like elbows, hands, and legs, but it also works well on the face. A little goes a long way, so the large tub lasts quite a while.
I also like that it’s fragrance-free. There are no strong perfumes or unnecessary scents, which makes it feel gentler and less irritating than many heavily fragranced alternatives.
The texture can feel quite rich when first applied, so if you prefer very lightweight lotions it may take a little getting used to. The tub packaging is practical, although some people may prefer a pump dispenser for convenience.
My skin feels noticeably softer and more comfortable when I use this regularly. It’s one of those products that quietly does its job well without making big promises.
I’ve been using this for a while now and it’s easily one of the best moisturisers I’ve tried. It absorbs well without feeling greasy and keeps my skin feeling hydrated all day. I use it on both my face and body and it’s been great for dry patches, especially after showering. A little goes a long way, so the tub lasts ages too. Really good value for money and I’ll definitely be buying it again.
The skin on my cheeks and the back of my hands was rough and sore from winter wind and frequent hand washing. Hand cream didn’t help,in fact it stung my skin. Even water hurt and I read this was because my skin barrier had broken down and even moisturiser on my face burned so much I had to wash it off.
I tried this and it’s amazing.
My skin is now smooth,moisturised, it doesn’t sting anymore.
I use it morning and night and my skin looks so much brighter and feels soft and smooth. Another benefit after a few months is now my skin is healthier, the spots I used to get have gone too, which nothing had ever worked before, and it wasn’t something I was expecting.
It comes in a huge tub so it should last for ages and I wouldn’t be without it now.
Good and Moist Skin Product.
All good. Price is also very reasonable. Came on time and did not have to wait for long delivery duration. Product came well too, no dmg. When using the product, it was very good on my skin. Works well as moisturizer.
Cosmtique sans parfum, enfin!
Quand j’ai ouvert le pot de ce baume, j’ai immdiatement pens que la texture ressemblait des oeufs battus en neige! Et, tout de suite, j’ai p constat qu’aucune odeur s’en dgageait enfin , c’est pas toujours facile trouver. J’ai donc essay ce baume tout doux, et soudain, une fracheur agrable sur ma peau, quelques secondes aprs, aucun gras sur le visage, que de la douceur. Si vous aim ces critres, nul doute que ce baume vous sduira, comme il m’a sduite !
FINALLY a cream that doesn’t irritate my face. I have slightly dry and sensitive skin (very fair, English rose type, I’m 43) and the area around my eyes gets itchy & red, especially if my eyes water. In fact it became so itchy & irritating that I actually had to give up moisturising and I even stopped wearing makeup. Yes I know, I hear you – moisturising your face is kinda important, plus I looked pretty with makeup, and I couldn’t wear anything especially around my eyes, not even mascara! I don’t wear loads, but wearing nothing at all honestly made me feel a little sad, I liked looking pretty.
For years I’ve tried every single “sensitive” / “hypoallergenic blah, blah, blah” face moisturing product available at Boots. I spent a small fortune (arggh). Then I read these reviews and tried this (the CREAM in a tub, NOT the pump-dispensed Lotion) and… it hasn’t irritated me! Omg, the joy of moisturising, and then a few days later, even better.. I applied Foundation & Mascara on top and my skin was still okay.
This is cream, it’s fairly thick, you don’t need too much, or the excess will sit on your skin, it absorbs well, is non-greasy, unperfumed and leaves my skin feeling very soft & supple, plus it’s not stupidly expensive.
Maybe all this might all sound trivial to you, and yes it is just a “1st world” problem. But I also went through chemo and I lost all my hair too (amongst other things.. I was pregnant & engaged – yep, real heartbreaking time). Anyway, tonight I’m in Portugal for a week with my man, I applied this cream, followed by my makeup, and styled my curly hair… It’s been a long while since my skin felt comfortable, and I saw myself looking pretty. Looking back at myself in the mirror I saw someone that I haven’t seen for far too long.. and she was smiling back at me.
I bought this recently for my dry shins after years of using CeraVe’s face wash, and it’s become a staple. The cream is thick, and while it sits on the skin for a short while before fully soaking in, I find that’s what makes it feel so hydrating. Compared with the pump bottle lotion (which absorbs faster), this gives deeper, longer lasting moisture.
The big tub is excellent value and lasts ages, even with daily use. I like that it’s fragrance free, gentle, and packed with ceramides and hyaluronic acid — exactly what you want in a moisturiser.
If you’re dealing with dry or very dry skin and want a no-nonsense product that works, this is a brilliant choice.
Great Value with Good Results
Love this moisturiser – big pot of cream where you don’t even have to think about using too much. Makes my skin supple and looks good. I also use it on other parts of my body with good effect. Recommended.
Star produc
Great moisturiser, I use it after applying a serum and this locks in that product and moisture. It’s quite a heavy cream so probably good for my 55year old face lol, might be too rich for a younger skin. I always have a pot of this in, if only to use a night cream
Can't beat this - my skin drinks it in and it last the day
Never felt the concept of “skin drinking” in a moisteriser (always felt that was just marketing speak), but after using this I DO actually feel like my skin is abosorbing it in this way! (Strangely enjoyable too!) It doesn’t leave a residue on the skin and is completely absorbed. It also doesn’t have a smell, which is great too. A small amount goes a long way and lasts the entire day. When on offer, this larger tub is a bargain, as one tub lasts me about 4 months of daily use. I have got friends and family onto this stuff (who all love it) and can’t recommend it enough.
Love this produc
First time user of Cerave It is brilliant! I use it as an every day moisturiser even my feet! non greasy no smell soaks in well & keeps your skin hydrated it is great as an after sun as well my husband has even started using it to!
Ultimate Hydration and Barrier Repai
This has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine, and it’s easy to see why. This rich, non-greasy cream delivers intense hydration and is formulated with essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which help restore and protect the skin’s natural barrier. It absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue, making it suitable for both day and night use. The fragrance-free formula is a huge plus for those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the texture and overall appearance of my skin, with dryness and flakiness reduced considerably. While the large tub is great for value and longevity, it can be cumbersome to use if you prefer a more portable option.
Overall, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream offers excellent hydration and skin benefits at a reasonable price, making it a must-have for anyone seeking a reliable, no-fuss moisturizer.
This is probably the largest tub of moisturiser on the market and I was sceptical that such a large volume, for such a reasonable price, would work.
As I hit the menopause my skin changed and is currently varying from dry to very dry. I needed a moisturiser that was gentle but effective. When it arrived I was concerned because it is a very thick moisturiser (for those my age, remember of Oil of Ulay or Avon?) and I was worried it would be claggy or too heavy for my skin. No such worries, although I do find that due to its thickness a little goes a long way – bonus. It absorbs well and doesn’t make me feel greasy. It is also fragrance free which I like.
For those younger than me, it is perfect for slugging albeit with a moisturiser rather than Vaseline. I do this a few times a week on the eye lines and top lip.
Obviously a massive plus point is the large pot that lasts a long time making it exceptionally good value for money.
It’s not the nicest looking pot – a bit bulky and ugly but I can forgive that for its value and effectiveness. A firm 5 stars from me.
Favourite
I absolutely love this. I have dry skin, I use a small amount morning and night. It’s makes my skin feel soft, it’s not greasy and odourless. For the price it is incredible and an essential item in my beauty routine.
Immense moisture, without greasiness!
Where has this been all my life? I have quite dry skin after I shower. And I hate moisturisers that leave a greasy residue. This does NOT do that! And it doesn’t matter how much you apply, your skin will just absorb it all and be moisturised all day. Best cream out there!
I’m pleasantly surprised how well this cream has improved my skin. Before, my skin barrier was very damaged and I was prone to a lot of breakouts. After using this cream for a couple of months, I have seen a very positive result. The consistency is also thick, so it’s great for very dry skin. It leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth all day. It does seem pricey, but considering the positive effect on my skin and the fact that it’s lasted me for about 4 months (and there’s still some left!), I think it’s definitely worth the money.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is a fantastic choice for anyone with dry skin. It’s packed with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and other nourishing ingredients that deeply hydrate and leave my skin feeling plump and comfortable. The texture is rich but absorbs quickly without any greasiness. Plus, it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for even sensitive skin.
I highly recommend it to anyone searching for an effective and affordable moisturizer for dry skin.
I have very sensitive skin which is also gets very dry. I have been searching for a moisturiser to help but every one I had found caused a lot of iritation and redness. I am so impressed with this cream as it makes my skin feel amazing with minimal to no irritation. I can’t recommend it enough to people with sensitive skin.
The only reason I’m giving it a 4 star is because the container doesn’t have a tamper seal. This seems ridiculous for this kind of product as someone could easily open it and mess with the contents before it arrives to you. Despite this the cream is so effective I still recommend it but ensure to check for any signs of tampering before applying it.
Glad I found this, wish I had found it soone
This gives my skin care and protection from “life”. When my skin feels dry or rough I just need a small amount on my fingers to rub in and my skin feels smooth and moisturiser again. All over.
Favourite moisturise
Have went through a bunch of different moisturisers but I love this one for dry skin. It says use liberally and I do, sometimes I use it twice a day but it doesn’t make you look greasy.
I have spent a lot of money trying new creams for dry skin mainly on my legs, I will not looking for anything else ever! This product is great nice and creamy to apply not greasy and my skin looks better after just a few days, excellent product.
Best one in the marke
I have tried nearly every product going. This one gets too marks it gets absorbed immediately & you feel the benefits straight away, I no longer waste my time & money with other products even my husband used this one he’s dry skin patches
Bit expensive, but will last a good few months.
I’ve found you only need a tiny pea sized amount. I was using too much and broke out with whiteheads. Since using less my skin has cleared, so keep that in mind when applying xo
Great value for money
I was worried that it might not be the same consistency as the smaller packaging but the cream is great. Perfect for sensitive skin – moisturises without leaving grease, and has no smell.
Big tub for good money
Not used it yet but I’m told it’s good stuff.
I’m a 51 Yr old man so I’m hoping it will make me look 10yrs younger by time I finished it lol we can wish.
I absolutely love CeraVe’s like of products – affordable skin care with good ingredients and safe for my extra sensitive skin, and their moisturiser is the same!
I have mixed skin, with oily skin on my forehead and dry skin around my nose. This moisturiser works for both types for me, and really sooths my dry skin around my nose. It’s a great price for the amount of product you get, and has performed well even over the dry summer days.
Can’t recommend CeraVe’s line enough, especially to those who are broke with sensitive skin.
5.0 out of 5 stars It actually works
I’ve got very dry skin and have tried numerous moisturiser’s without much success. This cream actually does work. I’m onto my second tub now and I can see a difference.
5.0 out of 5 stars My skin is soft agai
I love this product so much! I’ve suffered with dry skin and it’s worse as I turn 45 but this cream on first application was just the answer! I love it and use it everyday.
4.0 out of 5 stars Rich moisturise
I love cerave products especially their moisturisers. I usually buy the facial moisturiser but thought I’d try this one this time as it can be used on face and body and is a lot more economical. Leaves skin feeling moisturised and comfortable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Larger than expected
I bought the wrong product I thought I had bought face cream but this is multipurpose moisturiser. However, it was a happy mistake as it’s fab as a face cream and I’m using it in my daughter too as it’s safe for children. It’s a huge tub and you only need a little
Moisturise
Was recommended this by my dermatologist. Would give 10/10 currently on acctune my skin is very dry but this is helping keep it at bay big time. I’m on my like third bottle! So would recommended.
Grea
I’ve got very dry skin. I’m ve tried loads of products over the years none have worked. I absolutely love this product. I was wary about spending so much as I didn’t think it would work. It is amazing. It has made so much difference to my skin, I gave some to my Mam it has worked on her too. Fantastic, highly recommended.
Last for eternity
This was a fantastic buy the tub is absolutely huge so will last for a very last time.
Its done wonders for my face it was becoming very dry and other products wasn’t working but after applying it consecutively for 3 nights the dry patch completely disappeared.
If you have oily face i would advise you to apply like myself at night to avoid the shine but i haven’t had any breakouts and it works wonders.
Face and body
Lovely cream which can be used all over, saving you buying separate face and body moisturisers. No tacky or sticky after feel, skin feels much healthier after using. I like that it doesn’t have much of a scent so can be used at any time of day or night. Worth the money and will definitely repurchase.
Well worth i
This is brilliant. My middle aged skin has never been in such good condition. My feet are as soft as a baby’s. The annoying little lumps on the top of my arms have gone, completely. It’s just amazing. It’s my first pot of this and won’t be my last.
5.0 out of 5 stars Moisturiser recommended to me by my docto
The product is well priced, easy to use and works well
5.0 out of 5 stars Works well!
Simple product that works really well, and lasted so so long!
I’ve used cerave for years now for my psoriasis.After reading some mixed reviews,it seems like some of you must have wrong purchased and confused between moisturising and smoothing one . Attention please:Cerave moisturising and cerave smoothing are two different things .
Moisturising don’t contain salicylic acid and smoothing does contain .Their tub are same size and looks alike ,but ingredients doesn’t .
Salicylic will sting and nigh cause more inflammation if wrk f applied and especially on the face .
So be very careful guys .
Smoothing can be use sparingly,even with my oily face it doesn’t clog pores .
All the best .
Four stars because there should be a king of foil paper or plastic (like on yoghurt pot)to protect the cream .But it doesn’t have,once you open the lid ,it’s direct contact with the cream .
Great all round cream
Feel good all round cream not to greasy or to perfume smell, just right.
Only slight issue went to reorder and price gone up quite a bit more, but will reorder again.
Best for my skin problems
I’ve tried every cream, lotion and potion on the market and this is one of the best. My hands become very dry and the skin thickens and splits: it’s painful, itchy, and very annoying! This is the best cream I’ve ever used and i recommend it to anyone with similar issues.
My fave!
I bought from Amazon since I noticed prices have gone up everywhere. One concerning thing id mention is that the cream doesn’t have a second close lid inside. I open it and the cream is just there. A bit concerning since you never now who could’ve opened it and used it haha. But this is more of a feedback to Cerave.
4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn’t work miracles but visibly better ski
This is good for dry skin, if you have very dry skin maybe try something prescribed by a doctor.
It will really help reduce the dry skin but it won’t get rid of it completely but I am happy with it and ordered more
Really works
Bought this because my face has lots of little dry patches, this has worked a treat, I would say that it’s a thicker lotion but it doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy, it absorbs nicely and leaves my skin soft to the touch, my only negative is that I wish it had SPF in, when I bought it I thought it was in there but I misread it. No fragrance to it, i have sensitive skin and ive had no issues and i use it daily. Large tube so will last a while, really good value for money, definitely recommended.
This cream is the absolute best! Its light weight, but also really nourishing! I only use Cerave. It was recommended to me by a dermatologist and they were not wrong! I also feel like once you apply the cream, the softness lasts for a really long time, you dont have to reapply frequently, which is great. Highly recommend!
Great for my hands and other skin but cause a bad reaction on my face. I use a lot of their range and have super sensitive skin.
They do have a separate face cream I think.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good
Product as described. Value for money. Scent free. Texture thick and creamy. Absorbs well. Works well for sensitive skin.
I have tried SO many hand creams and they are often disappointing (even the expensive ones). Cerave is excellent: reasonably priced, rich enough to only need a small amount, sinks in quickly so doesn’t make hands greasy, and IT WORKS.
I mainly use it for my hands but I’ve also used it on my legs, arms and elbows and it works brilliantly. I can even use it on my face for dry patches of skin, and it works really well without causing clogged pores.
Call off the search for a decent hand cream. Stick a tube of this in every handbag and a jar of it by the bed. Use it daily and dry, cracked, peeling hands will be a thing of the past.
