Q: Can I use this cream on face?

submitted by Mahnoor - 2 months ago
  • A: Hello Mahnoor. Great question! Yes you can use CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream - 8 fl oz: Nourishing Hydration for Mature & Very Dry Skin, Includes Niacinamide on both your face and body. We do recommend this for dry to very dry skin though, if you are normal to oily, very oily or acne prone this may not be the ideal choice for you. For oilier or acne prone skin types we recommend our Ultra Light Moisturizing Gel as it is non-comedogenic and tested for all skin types. We hope this information was helpful and that you can use our products with great success!.

Q: How does this intensive moisturizing cream compare with CeraVe's therapeutic hand cream, as a moisturizer for dry hands, especially in the winter months?

submitted by dryskin33 - 5 months ago
  • A: Hi there dryskin33! Both our Intensive Moisturizing Cream and Therapeutic Hand Cream offer excellent hydration for dry hands, especially in winter, thanks to ceramides and hyaluronic acid. The Intensive Moisturizing Cream is a versatile, rich cream for overall face and body dryness, including hands. The Therapeutic Hand Cream is specifically formulated for hands exposed to harsh conditions, providing targeted defense and a more resilient barrier. For very dry, hardworking hands in winter, the Therapeutic Hand Cream might offer a slight edge due to its specialized protection, while the Intensive Moisturizing Cream remains a strong, versatile choice.

Q: Can you use this on your fave like the regular moisturizing cream. Differences between this and the moisturizing cream?

submitted by Arose22 - 7 months ago
  • A: Hello Arose22! Our Intensive Moisturizing Cream is wonderfully versatile and can certainly be used on your face, just like our regular Moisturizing Cream! The main difference between our Intensive Moisturizing Cream and our regular Moisturizing Cream lies in their richness and the level of hydration they provide. Our Intensive Moisturizing Cream is formulated to be particularly rich and deeply nourishing. It's designed for those times when your skin needs an extra boost of hydration, perhaps due to extreme dryness, harsh weather conditions, or when you simply prefer a more luxurious, protective feel. It works to create an intensive barrier to lock in moisture, making it ideal for very dry, rough, or chapped skin. Our regular Moisturizing Cream, while still providing excellent hydration, has a slightly lighter, yet still effective, texture that is suitable for daily use on normal to dry skin. Both creams are crafted with our signature blend of essential ceramides to help restore and maintain your skin's natural barrier. So, while both are fantastic for moisturizing, the Intensive version offers a more potent, deeply emollient experience for those seeking elevated hydration and protection.

    My saving grace

    I swear by CeraVe Intensive Moisturizer! I literally keep it next to my bed for easiest access when my hands feel dry. It helps with my eczema, don’t feel too thick, and absorbs into my skin pretty quickly. I have purchased this more than once already, and it is something I will always go back to.

    Unable to recommend Intensive Moisturizing Cream

    I have used Cerave Moisturizing Cream for years and have loved the product. Recently I inadvertently purchased Cerave Intensive Moisturizing Cream. After using it, I’m still itching 24 hours later. I had to apply ice pads to my face in the middle of the night to relieve the burning and itching. My face is still red after 48 hours.

    It works!

    Been searching for a cream that could help my dry hands and i finally found one I love. I wash my hands a lot at work and also work in a cooler so they get very chapped. This is very moisturizing thick anf creamy but not too thick and non greasy, soaks in and my hands stay soft the whole day. I bought the large tub and it will last a long time.

    Moisturizing immediately

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Is definitely a very moisturizing cream. Help immediately with my dry hands and ski specially during winter. No residue at all and the skin absorb very well into your skin. Value is good deal and also do what they promised. No discomfort at all . Also can be used in any type of skin. No smells or fragrance.

CeraVe. Itchy skin? CeraVe. Skin barrier health? CERAVE. I love it. it makes my skin soft and hydrates to the max for several days without causing irritation. I keep in my car and purse. I can’t travel without it.

    A life saver in the winter months

    If you're a person who has dry skin even after moisturizing this is for you. A rich moisturizing cream that quickly absorbs, deeply moisturizing the skin leaving it soft and supple. The 5% urea as well as the ceramides really help repair skin barrier leaving you moisturized until your next use. I use a clindamycin cream daily and I never get any piling when put this on top. A little bit goes a long way but you can build it up while never leaving you greasy

    A little goes a long way

    This CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream works so well! I get extra dry in the winter and this is the only cream that properly hydrates my skin and leaves it nourished and hydrated. The urea does have a slight smell but it's not to bothersome. Love the thick texture. A little goes a long way!

    I'm In love with this cream is amazing!

    What I liked most about the CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream is how deeply hydrating it is without feeling overly greasy. The texture is rich and creamy, but it still absorbs well and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortable for hours. It really helps with dryness and keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day. I used it on my body, especially on very dry areas like legs, elbows, and hands, mostly after showering and sometimes at night. It's great for daily use if you have dry to very dry skin, and it also works well during colder weather when my skin needs extra moisture. The only thing I didn't love is that it can feel a bit heavy if you use too much, especially in warmer weather. I also wish it absorbed a little faster, but that's expected with a more intense cream. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with dry, very dry, or sensitive skin. Something I wish I had known before trying it is that a little goes a long way, and it works best when applied to slightly damp skin to lock in moisture. Overall, it's a very effective moisturizer, gentle on the skin, and a solid choice if you're looking for long-lasting hydration and skin barrier support.
