Itching and Burning - Be Careful
This winter my skin started feeling dryer than usual so I picked this up. While I feel like my face is more hydrated, this stuff makes my face itch, burn, and turn red for the first few minutes of putting it on. Definitely will be tossing this and finding something different.

Nongreasy, blends easily into skin and nonfragrant
This was recommended to me by my dermatologist for my dry, flaking skin. I was amazed at how quickly it brought it back to its original softness with no more flaking. I use it daily to keep it that way.

Good but greasy
Works good at hydrating the skin but it's very greasy. Compared to the regular, daily moisturizing CeraVe, the main difference I see is the addition of Shea Butter which is why this is so greasy. It's also about $5 more than the already expensive daily moisturizing version and why I only buy it when there is a deal. I am using it now as my winter moisturizer, but the greasiness is really annoying and I'm not sure if I will stick with it. Curel used to be my go-to for winter but for some reason Target stopped selling it, so I figured I'd try this since I love the daily moisturizing version for the rest of the year.

Ouch!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lotion gives me a tingling, burning sensation immediately after applying which does eventually go away, but it’s a very unpleasant experience. I still find it to be hydrating, but I do not feel that it is any better than their other products. I absolutely will not use this on my face, unlike their Daily Moisturizing Lotion. I’ll stick with the daily lotion and the moisturizing cream for pain-free hydration. I will not be repurchasing this product and I do not recommend this to anyone.

Good night cream
This is a nice deep moisturizer for the face. My skin had a little adjustment but after a week it was good. I will just be using mostly at night.

Yup yup yup
I have used this for 4 years on my face .I have a lot of thoughts 1 I suffer with acne and oily skin and this has never broke me out or made me more oily looking.2. This is a tip of mind get the off brand/generic of this product it works just the same but cost less ,thank me later 3. This will last you a long time if you only use this on your face ,I wash my face once a day with a chemical, exfoliating, facial cleanser, and then use this at night and my last lotion lasted me 2 years.i know kinda gross but I've never had to go out and buy any other facial moisturizer within that time. Period. 10/10

Itching Like CRAZY!
I have been using cerave for years and have loved their normal lotion. I recently saw they came out with this and it is supposed to be more hydrating. I have really bad eczema and I gave it a shot and it is breaking my whole body out itching so badly. I had to take a few Benadryl and wash it off immediately. I was using it and noticed it was itchy at first but wanted to give it a few days at least. Would not buy again.

Says "fragrance free" but there is a strong smell
I generally love CeraVe creams and lotions, but this one is not for me. While it's a good moisturizer, there is a strong, lingering scent that bothers me. One of my reasons for buying CeraVe products in the first place is that I'm sensitive to fragrances and strong smells, and I'm used to CeraVe products being mostly scent free.

Hello TG62! Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Intensive Moisturizing Lotion. We are truly sorry to hear that this particular product did not meet your expectations regarding scent, especially since you rely on CeraVe for its generally fragrance-free nature. We understand that sensitivity to fragrances and strong smells is a primary reason many choose our brand, and we deeply appreciate your loyalty. Our Intensive Moisturizing Lotion, like all CeraVe products, is formulated without added fragrances to minimize the risk of irritation. Any subtle aroma you might notice would stem from the natural composition of the ingredients themselves, rather than any perfuming agents. This lotion is specifically designed to provide intense, long-lasting hydration with our essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, aiming to restore and maintain the skin's protective barrier. While we're glad to hear you found it to be a good moisturizer, we sincerely regret that the perceived scent detracted from your experience. Your detailed input is invaluable to us as we continuously strive to develop products that cater to sensitive skin needs.

Cerave intensive moisturizing lotion
I tried your newest intensive moisturizing lotion recently and here is what I think of it: It stings my skin… not at all pleasant. It is thick, heavy, and quite greasy. My skin stays greasy and it gets on my clothing and my sheets until I wash it off my skin. It is too expensive. I do not recommend this product. Will not buy again.

Very happy
I enjoy this product. It has very little smell at all and it's very moisturizing. I use it on my body and my face. Generally I put toner, actives, serums, on first and then use this over it. I am very happy with it!

Greasy and smells unpleasant
Unfortunately I did not have a good experience using this new product. It is advertised as non greasy and fragrance free but it’s literally the complete opposite. After applying the lotion my body felt and looked so greasy and I felt dirty. The lotion also had a very strong unpleasant scent. I have used cerave for years and this new product is a huge miss in my book. I wish I dint pay so much for this product.

Face looking hydrated😌
I struggle with my very dry face especially my chin,cheeks and between eyebrows after using it beforegoing to sleep my face looked way healthier and moisturized...not dry so after using it for the following days it really helped hydrate my dryskin it's not watery or too thick for those who get anxious with cream consistency thus the reason for struggling with dry skin in the first place😔highly recommended

Great product that works wonderfully!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ( I received the as a free product in exchange for my honest review)CeraVa Intensive Moisturizing Cream is one of the best lotions I have ever used. Before using it, my hands were like sandpaper and starting to split. After a couple of days, my hands are no longer splitting and do not feel like sandpaper. I also like that it doesn't take a lot to work, it doesn't feel greasy, and it has almost no scent at all.

Best Face & Body Cream
I'm in love with this moisturizer. Made sure to wait allow enough time using before leaving my results. First of all my skin is sensitive. Though I enjoy original iconic cream texture wasn't the right choice for my face. This is wonderful. My dry sensitive face and body loves it. In the past my face would feel dry hours later no longer. In every way this exceeded my expectations. The texture is creamy, light weight, absorbs without any problems. Love the tub, and would love to see with pump in the future.

burning and breakouts
I have used several CeraVe products. This is the first I do not like. Like many others here, this caused my skin to burn. I kept using it anyway thinking that maybe my skin was just SO dry and damaged that it was temporary. Well, the burning sensation DID go away after many days of use, BUT I started breaking out (weird tight clusters of pimples). As soon as I stopped using this, my face cleared up again. And don't even THINK about putting it on after shaving your legs!! Burn city.

Nah
To be quite frank, nothing ever disrupts my skin. Within seconds of applying this, my skin was itching. Do not get this. It’s greasy anyway.

works great, but causes hives with harsh chemicals
I have very dry skin that is aging, and this stuff works wonderfully. It's not too thick, not too thin, and lasts at least 24 hours. It absorbs quickly and doesn't feel greasy. It's the best feeling moisturizer I've tried, and I've tried a lot. HOWEVER, it has too many chemicals in it and about 8 to10 ounces into my first bottle, it started breaking me out in hives, which stopped as soon as I switched back to a lotion that I'm not allergic to. I wish Cerave would come out with an intensive moisturizing lotion like this without all of the allergy-triggering chemicals, like PEG's and others.
