Q: Can I use this moisturizer at night and in the morning? Or do I have to buy the night one also

submitted by haidns - 8 years ago
  • A: The AM has spf in it and as such is less creamy and hydrating for the evening. I recommend buying the PM for bedtime.

    submitted bygizzy - 8 years ago
  • A: Hello there, thank you for your interest in CeraVe AM Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen. CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizer is a morning skincare multitasker, featuring three essential ceramides, hydrating hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide, plus our patented MVE Delivery Technology to supply much-needed moisture throughout the day.

Q: Hi instead of buying a day moisturizer can i use this during the day under foundation? thank you

submitted by maryann - 8 years ago
  • A: Yes, absolutely. If I happen to go to the beach I bring along a stronger sunscreen to reapply. Everyday for at least 5 years or more I have religiously used this lotion putting it on once a day before foundation/ concealer. (I also use it on my neck and décolletage). It’s light enough to soak in and not leave greasy residue. The higher spf’s tend to get chalkier so I like this texture a lot. Plus I have oily skin and swear by this stuff. I hope this helps :)

Q: How often will I need to reapply sunscreen if I put this on in the morning (in a normal day with minimal time outside)?

submitted by Eva - 8 years ago
  • A: My determotolgist suggested once a day is fine, but if I know I'll be in the sun all day to reapply a sunscreen mid day.

    submitted byAmber - 8 years ago
  • A: Any sunscreen should be reapplied every 90-120 minutes in prolonged sun exposure. The sunscreen component of the lotion does not last more than a couple hours.

    submitted byamh1004 - 8 years ago

Q: After applying on my face, will it burn my eyes when sweating; I work outside in my garden. And does it look white after applying it on my face?

submitted by Delilah - 7 months ago
  • A: Hello Delilah! Our AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30 is formulated to be non-irritating and generally doesn't cause burning in the eyes, even when sweating. However, individual reactions can vary. If sunscreen gets into your eyes, it's always recommended to rinse thoroughly with water. Regarding the white cast, this lotion can sometimes leave a slight white residue, especially if applied too heavily. We suggest starting with a smaller amount and rubbing it in thoroughly. If you still find it too white, we offer other CeraVe sunscreens with different textures and finishes that might be a better fit.

    doesn’t layer well under makeup it tends to pill

    I really love this moisturizer on its own! It keeps my skin hydrated, smooth, and protected thanks to the SPF. It feels lightweight and gentle. However, it doesn’t layer well under makeup it tends to pill a bit so I usually only use it on no-makeup days.
    1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 10 days ago
    Hello caitlynnh5_9597! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with our AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you love it on its own, finding it hydrating, smooth, and protective, all while feeling lightweight and gentle on your skin. That's exactly what we aim for. We also truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding its performance under makeup and the pilling you've experienced. We understand how frustrating it can be when a product doesn't layer seamlessly. To help with this, we often recommend allowing the moisturizer to fully absorb for a few minutes before applying any makeup. Sometimes, using a gentle patting motion when applying makeup, rather than rubbing, can also help maintain a smooth finish. We hope this tip might allow you to enjoy its benefits even on your makeup days!

    I really like this moisturizer. I use it on a daily basis I am talking about every single day. iI’s very affordable and I can notice it really makes a difference putting this on before I expose myself to the sun. It is very light on the skin and blends very well. I like that the moisturizer has a pump to it.

    Doesn't moisturize at all

    Turned clumpy on my face and rubbed off as flakes. Also left a white film on my face until it rubbed off. Not good.
    1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 19 days ago
    Hello Sarah! Thank you for sharing your experience with the AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30. We are truly sorry to hear that the product turned clumpy, flaked off, and left a white film on your skin. That is certainly not the intended experience, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Our AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion is formulated with broad-spectrum SPF 30 to provide essential daily sun protection, along with three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid to help restore the skin's barrier and provide hydration. The mineral sunscreen filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) within the formula are designed to sit on top of the skin to reflect UV rays, which can sometimes lead to a white cast if not fully absorbed or if applied too generously. To help mitigate the issues you described, we often find that applying a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin and allowing it a moment to fully absorb before applying any other products or makeup can make a significant difference. Sometimes, applying too much product at once, or not allowing it to set, can lead to pilling or flaking. We value your feedback immensely, as it helps us to continually improve our formulations and product instructions. We hope this information is helpful, and please know that your satisfaction is very important to us.

    Keep it simple

    As someone with acne prone skin, I am always looking for a simple but effective moisturizer. This moisturizer helped restore the barrier on my face. It absorbs nicely into the skin and is very soft when applying. It works well with other serums that I use. I highly recommend this product as a simple and affordable brand. In the past, I found myself paying ridiculous prices for facial products, thinking that the more expensive they were, the more results I would see. Thos brand has taught me that what I previously thought it so far from the truth. It isn't about using an overload of products to combat acne but using one's that are tested and recommended by dermatologists.

    I used to use this product before you changed the formulation to include benzoic acid. Thank goodness for my CAMP app alerting me to this as I have a horrible allergy to benzoates. It's too bad, because CeraVe had been my go to for years. Now only the Healing Ointment is safe and I certainly wouldn't use that as a facial moisturizer.

    Hydrates well and has SPF, but feels oily and pill

    the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizer is a pretty good daily spf moisturizer that keeps my skin hydrated and protected ☀️. However, it does feel a little oily and when applying primer, it tends to pill or come off. It’s amazing for sun protection, but not the best if you wear makeup regularly.

    Disappointing — Made My Skin Too Dry

    I bought this a couple weeks ago after switching from Aveeno since that one made my face greasy. This moisturizer made my skin really dry — I could actually feel how tight and uncomfortable it was. It also left a white tint on my face, and the sunscreen smell was really strong. I wouldn’t recommend it and now I’m stuck with a full bottle I can’t use.

    Leaves little pill clumps on my face

    While I love other Cersve products, this moisturizers leaves little clumps on my face that have to be brushed off. I cleanse my face well, so I'm not sure why this product does this. I will purchase another daily moisturizer as I don't like this and I keep trying it again to see if maybe it will stop. It has not. I feel I wasted my money. Love their other cleansers and night time moisturizers. Disappointed in this product.

    It makes my makeup look so pretty. But, it has been breaking me out. I rarely get pimples but now I’ve been getting them on my cheek, forehead, and jawline.

    White rubbery substance leftover

    This was my first time ever using this product. It went on with a white cast, but that was expected because of the SPF. I could not get it to fully absorb into my face. There was a white rubbery ish substance left over. I had been rubbing it in for a few minutes. I wish I had taken a photo. Also, the product I did get to absorb made me look greasy. I had to take it off and put on something else. Do not recommend. I should have listened to the reviews. The nighttime version of this moisturizer is great (I use it every night) which is why I wanted to try this one. I will be buying another morning moisturizer.

    Pilled and did Not Spread Evenly

    I received a sample of the AM moisturizer, but it wasn’t a good product for me. I applied the moisturizer of peptide serums, and the lotion clumped and would not apply smoothly. After working it into my skin for a bit, it pilled all over my face and I had to re-wash my face and start over. Unfortunately, I could not use this moisturizer any further. I’ve never had sunscreen or products containing sunscreen behave this way before.

    Great product, but too much pilling.

    Honestly, I was really excited to try this because of all the good reviews, and it was actually pretty good for the first week of using it. Unfortunately, I noticed this moisturizer pilling on my skin when I used it. While it did moisturize well, I couldn't get past the pilling. There was no scent though, so that was a plus. Sadly I won't be buying or using this moisturizer again because of the pilling, I've never had an issue with pilling from other moisturizers besides this one.
