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 - 11 days 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 - 2 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.

    Good

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this on my face any body, and need to use it in the am and pm in order for my skin not to look flaky. I’ve tried so many creams for my very dry skin in a dry climate. Most don’t make a difference. This one does, though I go through a tub quickly.

    Moisture to the Extreme

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream comes in a flip top tube. It contains ceramides, shea butter and hydro-urea to provide the best results. Since I live in the Midwest, the colder weather doesn’t help my dry skin. I can use this cream in the morning and it lasts all day. It has a thick and creamy feel to it that is not greasy. I know I’ll be protected this winter!

    Game changer for excessively dry skin

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you struggle with chronic dryness, especially due to frequent handwashing, this cream can be a total game changer. Compared to lighter lotions, it gives a level of hydration that’s both immediate and long-lasting. However, it is quite rich, so it may not be the best fit for those with oily or normal skin. It did take a little bit to fully absorb into my skin.

    Greasy

    Ran out of my Gold Bond lotion so I decided to try something new. Saw this and it sounded appealing so I decided to go with it. Boyfriend and I tried it on in the car and boy… my arms turned into an oiled pan! I definitely was glistening and felt super greasy. It lasted for a while but eventually soaked in. Makes sense why this makes you feel moisturized, you’re covered in grease. Thinking of returning it.

    Effective and easy to use

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product works well on my dry feet and helps to prevent them from cracking. There is not any smell, which I prefer and I can put on my socks quickly after applying.

    My new skincare obsession! 💧🤍

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, let’s talk about hydration goals — this CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream is everything! I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and my dry skin has never felt so soft, smooth, and nourished. It’s super rich but still absorbs fast, so no greasy feeling at all. The 5% Hydro-Urea + ceramides combo really helps restore my skin barrier and keeps my glow lasting all day. It has a very light and pleasant scent. It comes in a nice sleek bottle that stays upside down so you don’t have to fight with it when it gets to the end. If your skin gets dry or itchy, especially in colder weather, you need this in your routine. Total game changer! 🙌

    Used for a month and couldn't be happier!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this daily for the last month and my skin finally feels amazing! The ingredients create a very nice scent that compliments the silky smooth texture. The package is a rather generous size and will last accordingly. I would highly recommend this great product to everyone!

    Nice lotion

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so happy to get this. I have dry skin, especially in the cooler months, and this makes my skin so soft, and it really does hydrate it so much. The smell is soft but nice. I also love how much they give you and you don't need to use a lot.

    Delicate and soothing

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cerave is such a staple if you have dry and sensitive skin. It doesn’t contain any irritants and feels soft and soothing on your skin. I love the big tube this cream comes in. I will need this a lot in winter when I always have problems with dry and flaky skin.

    Super effective deep moisturizing dry skin relief

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very effective in deep moisturizing. No scent which is wonderful . Easily absorbs into dry skin with no white casting .little goes a long way. Has helped the dry areas in my legs immensely. I just have to wash my palms because they become super slippery

    Excellent hydration

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The formula is very hydrating and not sticky or oily. My skin quickly absorbed the lotion and it left me feeling very soft after application. I have eczema prone skin and would definitely consider this as a staple at work. I'm in healthcare and wash my hands constantly. This lotion provided instant relief of dry chapped hands and is odorless. Soft tube and shape makes it easily portable.

    Moisturizing Cream that Won’t Irritate Your Skin!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a tube of CereVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream free from Influenster and CeraVe in exchange for my honest review. As someone who struggles with eczema, I am always on the hunt for products that can moisturize my skin without irritating it. This cream is gentle and has no harsh irritating fragrance. Despite the richness of the cream it comes out of the tube easily. Once applied, it absorbs quickly and leaves my skin moisturized for hours. It works so well my significant other began to use it for his hands which are extremely dry from repeated hand washing. We both love this cream and give it two big thumbs up. We plan to repurchase this when this tube runs out!
