[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love CeraVe products and this intensive moisturizing cream is perfect on my dry skin! It is fragrance free and absorbs quickly. It leaves a nice, hydrating feel, not oily or sticky at all. I also love how long lasting it is - I don't feel like I need to keep reapplying out throughout the day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been testing the CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream for a few weeks now, and here’s the full breakdown: ✨ Ingredients: This cream is powered by ceramides + hyaluronic acid, which are a dream team for strengthening the skin barrier and locking in moisture. It’s also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, so it’s gentle on sensitive or acne-prone skin. ✨ Absorption: Even though it’s a thicker cream, it doesn’t just sit on top of the skin. It takes a minute to sink in, but once it does, it leaves my skin soft and hydrated without that greasy or sticky feeling. Perfect for both face and body. ✨ Scent: Fragrance-free — which I love. No overpowering perfume, no weird chemical smell. Just clean, simple skincare. If you have scent sensitivities, this is a big win. ✨ Texture: Rich and creamy, almost like a whipped balm. A little goes a long way, and it gives that immediate soothing relief if your skin is extra dry or irritated. ✨ Packaging: Simple, no-frills, and practical. The tub is huge (great value!), and they also make smaller sizes that are perfect for travel or tossing in your bag. It’s very “dermatologist office chic” — clean and minimal. 🌙 Final Thoughts: If you need serious hydration and barrier repair without breaking the bank, this is a holy grail moisturizer. It’s not flashy, but it delivers results every single time. 💧

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream has a thick, rich, and creamy consistency that feels luxurious on the skin. I love that it’s fragrance-free, making it perfect for night use and safe for allergies. After a shower, my skin just soaks it up. It’s non-greasy, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It worked especially well on my very dry feet during the summer season. Excellent value, and I would definitely repurchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bottle is not different from any other lotion bottle on my shelf. The scent is not overbearing in any way. What sets this lotion apart from the rest is the quality. It feels like it works down to the bone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm currently in menopause and notice that my skin is very dry. I was using another product from the same company and have been happy with it. This one is slightly different. At first it felt like I was itchy after applying it but somehow that's gone away. However, I do notice that my skin feels super soft and it looks fabulous throughout the day. The texture is creamy and although it's thick it goes on very smoothly. The price point is really good and the ingredients are good. I will continue to use this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream is a game-changer for dry skin. The formula is rich but not greasy, and it absorbs quickly while leaving my skin soft and deeply hydrated all day. I love that it’s fragrance-free and packed with ceramides—it really helps restore and protect the skin barrier. My skin feels smoother, healthier, and way less tight or flaky. A must-have for anyone looking for long-lasting moisture!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream is great for anyone with dry or sensitive skin. The rich, creamy texture provides deep hydration without feeling greasy, and it absorbs quickly so my skin feels instantly soft and comfortable. I love that it contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which help strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture all day. Even in the colder months, this cream keeps my skin smooth, calm, and nourished. It’s gentle enough for both face and body, fragrance-free, and dermatologist-recommended—everything I want in a moisturizer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this and how moisturizing it is. It was easy to dispense from the package. It has no smell which is great for my sensitive skin. The 5% hydro urea and ceramides with Shea butter is a perfect combo to combat dry skin. This would definitely be a future purchase for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream has a very slight scent. It’s thick and creamy. It absorbs well, and doesn’t make my skin feel greasy. I spend a lot of time outside in the sun, especially in the summer. I also wear sandals most of the time and my heels especially tend to get very dry. This cream is amazing on my heels. It definitely keeps them moisturized and keeps them soft, not dry and rough feeling. Since I’m in the sun so much, my skin does tend to be dry, so after showering, I apply to my heels, legs and arms. This has made a huge difference with itching associated with dryness. Very pleased with this moisturizing cream.

Hydration at its best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream has thick texture. However, when apply runs smoothly. As a person who lives with a autoimmune condition that dries my skin badly, this cream helped keep my skin hydrated. It’s a little bit on ten greasy side and most likely due to the shea butter. It kept well on all day long. If you have dry skin, this is your cream!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Creamy and light! Used this on very dry feet and on a kid with keratosis pilaris on his arms. We’ve used other lotions specifically for the KP but they leave the skin feeling sticky and don’t smell great. The Cerave is the answer we’ve been looking for. No offensive odors and it absorbs nicely into the skin leaving it feeling hydrated.
