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 - 9 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. We recommend checking out PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion for the night time. We hope this information is helpful!

  • 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 - 9 years ago

  • A: Typically people do not put on SPF at night.

    submitted byL - 9 years ago

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 do I apply this so it doesn’t pill off as I am still rubbing it in?

submitted by Milady - 2 months ago

  • A: Hello Milady. Thank you for sharing your experience with CeraVe Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen, AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin - SPF 30. t. At times, if this very hydrating moisturizer is layered under or over another hydrating skincare product that has not fully absorbed into skin, it can cause the moisturizer to ball up or “pill”. To help avoid this, we recommend allowing the first product you apply in your skincare routine to fully dry and absorb into skin until it feels dry to the touch before layering on the next product.

    Won't absorb

    So many issues with the texture of this sunscreen. It seems like it just will not absorb and pills up and rolls off of my skin. I tried it several times but I’m ready to throw it away at this point.

    Streaky and pilly, do not purchase.

    This is genuinely the worst lotion/SPF product I’ve tried. I use all Cereve products so I was shocked. It does not go on evenly, the forumula begins to break just as you are applying it, applies streaky white cast and crumbles into your hair and everything all day long. Given its uneven application, I don’t even think it can properly protect your skin from the sun.

    Lightweight daily moisturizer with SPF that hydrates without greasiness.

    I’ve been using this Cerave AM moisturizer with SPF 30 as part of my morning routine, and it's earned a permanent spot in my skincare lineup. It contains three essential ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, which help restore and maintain the skin's natural barrier while providing lightweight hydration that lasts throughout the day. The lotion has a thin, fast-absorbing texture that doesn't feel greasy or leave a white cast, so it layers perfectly under makeup or sunscreen alone. The broad-spectrum SPF 30 gives me peace of mind for daily sun protection without needing a separate product. My skin feels comfortably moisturized by midday without looking oily, and I haven't experienced any breakouts or irritation from using it. It's a solid two-in-one product that simplifies my routine while still delivering real results.

    Hopefully Cerave Sees This

    Terrible! Please change your formula, Cerave! I use the Cerave cleanser and regular lotion so was excited to try the face moisturizer with SPF. I was so disappointed. After a few tries I confidently say I do NOT recommend this moisturizer. It leaves a white cast and then dries and becomes crumbly residue.

    I find this product is difficult to apply, it smears on my face and doesn't absorb easily. After much gentle rubbing there's still a white cast and/or a residue left on my skin. I don't recommend this to anyone.

    Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30. We want to sincerely apologize that this moisturizer didn't meet your expectations for smooth application.

In the meantime, we suggest to try our Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30.

    Peeling

    White stuff is peeling off of my face after application not sure why???
    1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 2 months ago
    Hello Janelle8128. Thank you for sharing your experience with CeraVe Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen, AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin - SPF 30 - 3 fl oz. It appears like you are experiencing "Pilling" with this product. When skincare rolls up into little balls on the skin it can happen for the following reasons: -Thick Formulation & Sunscreen Filters: Because it combines a moisturizer with SPF filters, it contains heavy emulsifiers, thickening agents (like carbomer and silica), and sunscreens. When applied in excess, the skin cannot absorb it all, leaving the extra product on the surface to ball up. _Vigorous Rubbing: Rubbing the lotion into the skin aggressively instead of gently pressing or patting it can disrupt the polymers and cause them to pill. -Layering Incompatible Products: If you apply it over certain serums, oils, or primers (especially those high in silicones or different film-formers), the conflicting ingredients can repel each other and pill. Rushing Your Routine: Applying makeup or another product too quickly before the lotion has had time to fully dry and set on the skin. Tips to prevent pilling with this product: -Use a smaller amount (about a nickel-sized drop for face and neck). -Pat and press the lotion into your skin gently rather than rubbing it in circles. -Allow 2 to 3 minutes for the moisturizer to fully absorb before applying makeup or any additional layers. We appreciate your feedback and we hope this information helps. Thank you for trying CeraVe.

    Difficulty absorbing into the skin

    This is a very hydrating lotion, once you get the hang of it. It would leave either streaks or residue on my face. I couldn't use this with any other skincare products either. At first, I had diffculty getting it to absorb into my skin but then the trick that I use is apply this is when my skin is wet then the lotion will absorb into the skin a lot better. It did not break me out and it left my skin very soft a moisturized. However, I will not purchase this product again. I should not have to wet my face in order for the product to absorb.

    Do not buy, horrible product

    It doesn’t mix into your skin, leaves a white cast and peels
    1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 2 months ago
    Hello Lani! We are so sorry to hear that you experienced a white cast and pilling with our AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30. Because this formula contains physical mineral sunscreen filters like zinc oxide alongside essential ceramides, it creates a protective shield on the surface of the skin that can sometimes pill if rubbed too vigorously or layered over incompatible products. A wonderful tip to achieve a completely smooth, invisible finish is to apply the lotion to clean skin in gentle, single-direction strokes—rather than rubbing in circles—and let it set naturally into your skin for a few minutes before applying any makeup or heading outdoors.

    White residue on the skin

    They need to fix this formula. I’ve used this product for two years and still can’t figure out why it leaves some white residue on my skin. It is most definitely NOT my skin. This doesn’t happen with any other products and it happens even after exfoliating. Love the PM version though. I think I’m finally gonna give up on this one and stop buying it. Not worth it

    Sometimes I don't have time to do my skincare routine so what I do is apply this lotion in My face so it can be hydrated for a long time. What I really like about just product is but it doesn't left my skin oily.

    It feels more like sunscreen than a moisturizer.

    I've been hunting for a new SPF moisturizer after a certain brand reformulated theirs. Unfortunately, I'll keep looking because this isn't my holy-grail substitute. My skin doesn't readily absorb it as it did for my previous product. Unless I take extra time to rub it in thoroughly, the SPF pills all over my face. Maybe it's because I'm prone to overapplying it or not taking enough time to lather it in, but I don't believe I'd have to go that extra mile for MY ideal moisturizer; I've certainly never had these issues with the previous one. It feels like it's moisturizing well enough, but seemingly not as strongly as it sunscreens. The SPF obtrudes both my face with the white casting and my nose with its thick scent. Again, it could be because I'm overapplying it, but ideally I'd have a wider margin for error than this. That being said, it is probably the best budget-friendly SPF-moisturizer combination. It's a great value at that price despite those issues, and I'm sure it's perfect for other skin types and routines. It just doesn't seem to be compatible enough for me, but that may speak more about my skin and personal preferences than the product itself.

    Hi there! Thank you for sharing your detailed review about CeraVe's AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30! We are so glad to hear that you find our AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion to be a great budget-friendly option, but we are sorry to hear it didn't quite live up to your "holy grail" expectations! Because this moisturizer is formulated with Zinc Oxide (a physical sunscreen) to provide broad-spectrum protection, it can sometimes feel a bit heavier or cause pilling if it interacts with other products or is applied in a thick layer. To help prevent pilling and minimize any white cast, we suggest applying in small thin layers, patting it gently into the skin. We will be sure to pass along your feedback to our Manufacturing Teams and suggest to take a look at our Ultra -Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 that features an ultra-light texture and matte finish. We hope you give it a try!

    Lightweight, hydrates, and definitely protects!!

     I’ve been really impressed with CERVAE AM facial moisturizer lotion. It goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling. My skin stays hydrated through out the day and the SPF 30 gives me peace of mind for daily sun protection. It’s gentle, fragrance free and works well on sensitive skin. A great everyday moisturizer that keeps my skin feeling soft , protected and healthy looking i REALLY DO recommend!!

    Disappointing

    I had a bottle of the 15 spf version a few years ago, loved it and thought I'd try the 30 spf one but there is a HUGE difference between this and the 15 spf one. Needless to say, this product didn't do it for me. It goes on white and never really blended with my skin so it's sticky and I look like Casper wearing it. Also kinda smells like sunscreen. Waste of money

    Hello Keely! We are so sorry to hear that the transition from our SPF 15 moisturizer to our SPF 30 formula was such a disappointing change for you. To provide that higher level of broad-spectrum sun protection, this formula utilizes different UV filters which naturally give it a slightly richer consistency, and because we are completely fragrance-free to protect sensitive skin, the natural scent of those ingredients can be more noticeable. A helpful tip to ensure a seamless blend without any white cast is to apply the lotion in small, thin layers onto completely dry skin, warming it between your fingertips first to ease absorption. Letting it set undisturbed for a few minutes allows the protective barrier to dry down to a comfortable, weightless finish.
