Not for the face
Stop leaving bad reviews on products when you aren’t using the product correctly. This product is not meant for the face and will cause acne and burning. This is not the same as the regular cerave moisturizing cream.

My skin is soooo dry
I needed a cream that would help me with my extra dry skin problem and I love it because I can also use it before putting on makeup and it leaves my skin super beautiful and blends well with my other products it is excellent and more now that the cold season is coming

Budget Friendly Moisturizer
I decided to break into my sample stash after running out of my normal moisturizer this week. First up, CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream! This product is surprisingly light weight and non-greasy. I had no issues applying my foundation and other make up products over it. It seems to hydrate as the packaging implies, but I don’t have dry skin to begin with. If you’re looking for an effective, budget-friendly, no frills moisturizer, give it a shot!!

Lasting moisture
I love CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream! It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and deeply hydrated for a long time. I also love that it is fragrance-free and contains ingredients that help protect the skin barrier. It's great for dry skin and doesn't leave my skin feeling too greasy. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for long-lasting moisture!

Hit or miss
Worked great for winter dryness but was no match for my husbands eczema :( lid is a bit hard to unscrew with product on ur hands. It is very rich and absorbs nicely with the proper amount of time. And you get a good amount of product for ur money, especially compared to other cerave products

Hypoallergenic, Intensely moisturizing cream. Not too greasy or too hard, and softens up my skin. It's such a great product that I recommended it to my dad! It hydrates very well, without irritants like fragrances or bad scents. It's priced here better than other websites.

Why Did You Change the Formula? 😢
This used to be my go-to face cream I used nightly and I could tell such a vast improvement in my face and texture with the 5% urea. Now it no longer does anything and is just a thick cream sitting there, but doesn't absorb in as well or leave the same glow. Why fix something that isn't broken? I'm so sad this no longer works for me and now I will have to find something else...
From Consumer Care Center team
Hello indygirl! We hear your heartbreak and appreciate your loyal support over the years, as we know how disappointing it is when a beloved staple no longer delivers that signature glow and smooth texture you relied on. We continuously review our formulas to meet evolving global safety standards and ingredient sourcing guidelines, though our goal is always to preserve the high-performance benefits you love. A wonderful tip to help a rich 5% urea cream absorb deeply and prevent that heavy surface feel is to apply a small, nickel-sized amount onto slightly damp skin right after cleansing, gently pressing it into your face so the moisture helps draw the hydrating urea straight into your skin's surface.

Buy it.
Works!!! Like for real for real works! I had dry cracked heels. Used this for 1 week straight at night and it’s all gone. Seriously, not a paid review. Just a gal who was ashamed of having cracked heels.

Did not hydrate like i needed
This just did not help my skin unfortunately. I had been dealing with very dry, flakey skin and I purchased this and Prequel’s urea moisturizer and basically used one on one side of my body and the other on the other side and this just did not hydrate my skin like I needed. I would recommend Prequel’s urea moisturizer over this because it really helped my dry skin and you could SEE the difference between the 2. CeraVe did not hydrate or moisturize my skin.

Deeply hydrating and perfect for dry skin
I tried a sample of this cream and really liked it. The texture is rich but comfortable, spreads easily, and absorbs well. It provided great hydration, left my skin feeling soft and helped with dryness throughout the day. A little goes a long way and it felt very pleasant on the skin

Changed texture and ingredients
The product ingredients and texture has changed. I began using because of the ultra thick texture but now it has changed to the thinner texture of the regular moisturizing cream. In addition I notice a slight change in the ingredients. Citric acid is no longer listed.
From Consumer Care Center team
Hi there! We appreciate you sharing your observations regarding our Intensive Moisturizing Cream. We understand how disappointing it is when a product you rely on for its specific texture feels different. While we occasionally update our formulations to ensure they meet the latest standards or to improve stability, we hear your feedback regarding the change in thickness and the removal of citric acid. We want to assure you that our goal remains to provide the highest level of moisture and care for your skin. Your comments have been shared with our product development team for review. Thank you for your continued loyalty to CeraVe!

Best product for dry skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream provided long-lasting hydration without feeling greasy. It's especially great for very dry skin. My skin felt moisturized all day. I feel that this cream offers great value.

It burns!
I’ve used the moisturizing cream with no issues. When I couldn’t find it in the store, I bought the intensive Moisturizing Cream thinking it would be the same. This cream causes burning and stinging sensations that had me clawing at my skin. I quit using it but tried it again one day, same sensation. I can’t use this product for some reason. It’s very expensive to not be able to use it. Very disappointed!

I bought this and I guess it’s my fault for not being 100% certain but once I got home I realized the seal had broken and there were fingerprints in the moisturizer as if someone had used it in the store.

If I could give this zero stars I would! This product is absolutely terrible. I have never, ever had my skin burn and itch so bad. I feel like my legs are on fire! I even combined with another lotion and that didn't help. At first I thought my skin was SO dry and that's why it felt itching and burning. But after multiple tries it's not stopping. I had to go shower off my legs cause it was so bad. Please do not get!

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.
