  Excellent cream, hydrates as much as it promises. However, I believe it is worth buying the larger package, this package finishes very quickly with daily use

  Awesome product for repairing fragile, thin skin. While it does an incredible job, it is not greasy or heavy and absorbs perfectly. I use it periodically, in addition to another moisturizing product in the form of a gel (Clinique DD Hydrating Jelly), because I have combination skin that sweats easily. So I use the CeraVe product as a reinforcement/repair at home. For some types of skin that are oilier or do not suffer from fragility, thin skin, it could easily be used as a mask, once or twice a week. The skin barrier is the "defense shield" of the skin against external attacks, and this CeraVe cream is truly a valuable ally.

  ***

  One detail: While it has this repairing action, I have noticed that after 2 consecutive uses, it thins out the skin. I notice this when shaving, where my skin gets cut easily, and the razor causes pain upon contact with the skin. I believe it is due to the NIACINAMIDE, as it is the second cream I have used from a different brand, and I have exactly the same experience. Initially, it provides rich hydration and repair, but then it sensitizes and thins the skin.

  Despite this, I like CeraVe as a cream overall. It's just that the NIACINAMIDE causes damage to thin skin

  Value for money. Simple, honest moisturizer, without anything special, absolutely acceptable for its price. It hydrates well and absorbs into the skin, however in some areas it leaves me feeling greasy. If someone asked me for a cream with carefully selected ingredients, without fragrances, etc. at a low price, I would recommend it. But that's as far as it goes. Personally, I am thinking that when it runs out, I will move on to something else even if I have to pay a little more.

  It doesn't suit me because it doesn't spread and absorb as I would like (I would like it to be like the hydraphase ones from la roche posay, and the corresponding ones from avene and vichy etc), it resembles a lot in texture and absorption with the body butter of the same company! I would only use it for the night...

  It is lightweight and fragrance-free, perfect for nighttime. Since I started using it, I wake up with more hydrated skin without feeling tight. I would definitely buy it again, probably because it doesn't bother me while sleeping and the scent

  Good cream, watery for the day I would say and also for under makeup. However, when I was going through phases of dry skin, it didn't help much unfortunately. For a mild climate, I would choose it again

  It is a very good face cream. Fragrance-free and very gentle. It immediately absorbs into my skin. It keeps my face moisturized all night.

  Overall, if you have combination to oily skin, I would recommend washing your face first to remove excess oil and then applying the cream. That's when you will notice its effectiveness.

  Generally, finding a scientifically proven moisturizer that does everything it should and feels comfortable on your skin at the same time is difficult. I have very oily skin, so it's even more challenging. This specific cream is quite lightweight, much lighter than the lotion in the range. It moisturizes adequately, has ingredients based on research material, while being slightly greasy. I don't know if it's a perfect match as a primer, but the range in general doesn't work well as a primer. I'll leave that up to you. 3.5/5 because it's obviously not a gel ;)

  It is a completely indifferent cream. It's like I'm not wearing anything, in the sense that it doesn't do anything. I definitely wouldn't buy it again.

  I have combination skin with intense dryness and flaking on my T-zone and cheeks. I feel hydration, it doesn't leave any greasiness, but it doesn't help with the flaking even if I apply it after scrubbing. I consider it a good cream and it does what it claims, but it didn't work as well for my skin.

  In a very irritated skin, like mine, with outbreaks in redness, it worked perfectly for me. No irritations, no redness, or feeling of tightness. I don't know if it's too early in the season that I started using it, since the sun is still burning, but I will try it every other night and definitely use sunscreen in the morning.

  Unfortunately, the facial cleanser from the same line feels like a paste and you can't tell if it has cleaned your face or not.

  Very very good cream. After years of struggling with problematic skin, dry and dehydrated, I did not expect to find a moisturizer that provides long-lasting hydration without leaving greasiness and heavy feeling. I love it, it has suited me very well and it also has a very good price. I would also like to add that I like its packaging, which reduces the chances of product contamination compared to jars.

  It is the moisturizer that I use daily for years. I have oily skin prone to acne and this cream has never irritated me, it is very lightweight and sufficiently hydrating. Overall, with Cerave products, my skin has calmed down, unlike other companies and products that are specialized for my skin type.

  This is NOT a cream for all skin types. It does not have a heavy texture, but it is already partially greasy. It definitely provides very good hydration to dry and normal skin. Personally, having combination skin, I apply it at night over various acne-fighting serums that tend to dry out my face.

  I have very sensitive skin. I read good reviews and tried it on a patch test. After a while, my skin started to burn and hurt. I took it off and still had the same feeling hours later. The worst cream I have ever tried!!

  My skin loves this cream!!! I realized how good it is for me when I ran out for a while and stopped using it. It moisturizes just enough, repairs the skin from whatever has irritated it, has no scent, and I believe it is suitable for all skin types. Wonderful company!

  It is an excellent cream with a very good composition. It is not random that it is recommended by dermatologists. It restores the skin barrier, is non-comedogenic, and therefore does not cause breakouts. I use it more often as a night cream since it does not have sun protection factor, and after chemical peels or retinol treatments.

  Advantages: It has no scent (neutral smell) and is suitable for sensitive skin (I have atopic dermatitis, so my skin easily gets irritated).

  Disadvantages: I have combination skin and this specific cream felt very heavy on me, resulting in my skin becoming very shiny after a while. I had seen some reviews saying that the cream can be worn in the morning, but for me, it felt too heavy.

  In general, I mainly buy facial soaps from this company and I expected the cream to work well for me as well, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. I will not buy it again because besides the shininess, I feel like my skin doesn't look as clean (black spots, etc.). I believe it would sit better on someone with drier skin.

  I have been trying for years to find a moisturizer and I have tried countless creams, but I always end up coming back to this one. In my opinion, it works for all skin types (except maybe extremely dry ones). It is very lightweight, absorbs quickly, and feels pleasant on the skin. It does not irritate acne-prone skin or skin with a tendency for acne (which is very important), and neither does the Cerave Cream, as they do not clog pores. It provides a very good level of hydration. It contains 4% niacinamide (something that the 236 & 473 ml packages do not have), which has very beneficial effects on the skin. However, do not expect miracles. For example, it does not treat dehydration, for which you need treatment with a serum, mask, or other product. It is also not suitable for wrinkles, acne cleansing, or firming. It provides good hydration. It is ideal for spring/summer when my skin becomes combination. In winter, when my skin becomes dry due to the cold, I apply a little Cerave Cream at the end to enhance hydration. The packaging is also airtight, which is a plus. It has a very good price, value for money!

  Value for money. I tried it randomly from a pharmacy sample and then bought it after 5 days. Tremendously moisturizing. I wear it as a base under makeup and it leaves me with a feeling of toning on the skin in general and radiance!!!

  I have evaluated the corresponding product with SPF, which I found awful and I do not recommend it at all. I decided to try the PM one and I liked it quite a bit. It feels light, it has no scent, it absorbs very well and it also worked as a base for foundation. I missed the full hydration, meaning that's where I saw it lacks a bit and that's why I deducted one star. For the money I paid, €10, it is very fair and of course I will buy it again! Do I recommend it? Absolutely! Just the hydration needs reinforcement with this cream.

  One of the best moisturizers for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Minimal ingredients and effective. It is fragrance-free, which means it is not irritating to the skin like many cosmetics are for no reason, and besides hyaluronic acid, it also contains niacinamide, which is a super ingredient (google it) and has helped with my acne. It moisturizes without being heavy, I have normal skin, I don't know if it would work well on oily skin. Maybe for the summer, something lighter would be needed - it doesn't leave any greasiness, it just doesn't restrict it in areas where it naturally produces oil - but it is the only moisturizer that has worked so well on my skin, so I keep buying it again and again.

  The best facial moisturizer that exists!!!! After terrible dryness around the lips and nose due to daily and prolonged use of masks, I was looking for something incredibly moisturizing and this was the best and most economical choice....
  I will not buy any other cream and I will also buy the cerave for the body...

  New cream in the mix

  The morning one was like a sunscreen, so I decided to try the evening version. As the name suggests, it doesn't have SPF.

  The good
  - Its texture is light, it's like a mix of serum and a white liquid that I'm not allowed to mention. It spreads easily on the area, without leaving a white cast.
  - It seems to work well in combination with the CeraVe cleanser.
  - The pump is very useful. Tip: if it doesn't dispense product after a while, just press harder and it will come out.
  - Edit: after 2 weeks, I can see some results. The skin has a smooth texture, it covers imperfections well, and in some cases, it reduces the so-called "discolorations" on the skin (redness). I have normal to combination skin.

  The Meh
  - It still doesn't provide perfect hydration. But you feel that it is long-lasting.

  In short: Smash

  Edit: Gurrrl

  I noticed this after a month of use.
  It reduced the blemishes from my teenage acne that have been bothering me for years, and it's probably due to the salicylic acid it contains.
  Okay, I want sponsorship, my money, and my salary in this cream

  Unfortunately, for my oily/combination skin, it was a big mistake!
  Especially on the forehead, there was a lot of oiliness compared to the rest of the face!
  It is indeed ideal for very dry skin to provide extra hydration and oiliness!
  The texture of the cream is quite good and the scent is completely neutral

  It is very lightweight moisturizer ideal for summer months and oily, acne-prone skin. Although I have oily skin, I like to hydrate my skin quite well and I did not feel that it covered me 100% in that aspect. This is also the only reason why I am considering whether to choose it again.

  For someone with combination to oily skin who is considering getting either the AM or PM, or both, I recommend getting the PM. It is lighter and leaves a certain level of oiliness, but not to the same extent as the AM, which I stopped using because I couldn't stand the feeling of oiliness and shine.

  Overall, I do not recommend it for people who want a matte result with skin like mine. However, I can say that during the summer months when the climate changes, the PM is very good and does not leave the skin oily at all. As for the AM in the summer, I have no opinion as I gave it to my mother who has dry sensitive skin and she loved it. In fact, she now uses both because they have worked very well on her skin. As for me, I don't use either of them anymore. I have switched to The Inkey List and The Ordinary from Sephora, which I also recommend since their prices are more or less the same.

  Amazing product! Initially, while I have oily/combination skin with pores and a tendency for acne, I read a lot before purchasing it. During the first week, I had some breakouts and redness on my skin, but now after two weeks of use, it is the most effective thing I have put on my face. I combine it with Cerave's facial soap for combination skin (the green one) at night, along with dalacin for localized acne. In the morning, I don't use it, but I apply la roche posay effaclar unifiant. The pores have visibly reduced and my skin is soft, without imperfections and redness. Highly satisfied!
