Turned clumpy on my face and rubbed off as flakes. Also left a white film on my face until it rubbed off. Not good.
pills A LOT

it pills so bad, even when waiting. just trying to rub in the product into your skin causes it to pill up in white balls.
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.

very bad lotion. i used it for two days and im throwing it away. it’s impossible to apply properly, it gets clumped and you can’t spread it evenly no matter how hard you try. i love other cerave products, but this was a complete waste of money.

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.

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.

This lotion has helped healed my skin. I like that it's has 30 spf. It has no scent, so its great on sensitive skin. Doesn't leave a white cast. The packaging is easy to use.

Just what I was looking for in a daily moisturizer. I wanted spf 30 but not something that clogged pores. I am very acne prone and so far no acne, no great feel, and my skin is hydrated and happy.

I use a lot of sunscreen and this is one of the worst sunscreen I’ve ever used in my life. I actually just threw it away. It is unusable. Usually for sunscreen I don’t like I can still use it on my feet. I can’t even use this on my feet. It’s streaks and it doesn’t rub in. Don’t waste your money.

Love this sunscreen! Feel very protected from the sun when I use it and it’s small enough to put in my bag. Love that there is no scent and clean ingredients. I sometimes get a white cast which is my only complaint.
Horrible product. Check your ingredients.

It is such a brutal facial lotion. My skin immediately was on fire and it got swollen. For three days my whole face was swollen and eyes almost closing. I’ve tried it three times and it is the same outcome. Very disappointing.

I was disappointed with this product. It doesn’t spread or absorb into the skin. It creates a white dry film that peels right after. Also, irritates my skin.

Affordable ✅ Lightweight ✅ Honestly such a good everyday moisturiser, sits nicely under makeup and doesn’t feel greasy at all. Only downside is it irritated my sensitive skin a lil 😬 so I can’t use it every single day. Still a solid option if you’re after a budget-friendly AM moisturiser 🌸
