Q: Can I use this as diaper rash prevention for elderly woman?

This non-greasy formula hydrates and soothes very dry skin. It also temporarily protects and helps relieve chafed, chapped, or cracked skin. We hope you will give it a try soon!

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.

ITCHING AND BURNING
Was using this on my face for a couple of weeks because I didn’t realize it wasn’t face moisturizer and my face skin did ok initially but then got super oily and broke out. My neck was super sensitive and breaking out. Once I realized it was for body I was excited to try it after the shower since I get so dry in the winter time and I can’t tell you how ITCHYYY I was all over my body and burning. I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I did it after my night shift and I was supposed to sleep but couldn’t stop scratching!!!! My skin is a little sensitive but this is probably the worst product I have ever put on my body I am miserable.

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.

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.

Sont prefer this version
This version burned my hands which is odd. It also has an odor that I really don’t care for while I also found it quite greasy on my skin. I’ll be exchanging for the regular version for sure.

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.
