CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion For Dry to Very Dry Skin

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.

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.

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.

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.

If your skin is screaming for hydration, this stuff is magic in a bottle. Rich, gentle, and actually WORKS. Bonus: it’s dermatologist-recommended and fragrance-free.

I bought this last week to use since i got a spray tan and can’t put any lotion with oils on my skin. omg was it the best decision i’ve ever made. i’ve used it 3 times and my skin feels like a baby’s butt lol. it is SO soft i’m obsessed. i’ve never ever experienced this before. highly HIGHLY recommend. i will forever buy this product.

I don't have particularly dry skin in general but I occasionally get dry patches on my knees and elbows from eczema. I've had a tenacious patch on my elbow for over a year. Within a week or so of starting this, just a pea-sized dab a couple times a day, it's well on its way to healed. I'll be keeping this on hand forever.

I have used the moisturising lotion for about 4 years and never had any issues. Picked this one up a few weeks ago and it has irritated my skin to no end. The second I put it on my skin is itchy and angry. Very disappointing as I loved the old moisturising lotion. Wish I knew what caused this

I exclusively use CeraVe for all of my skin care products and this is the first one to cause any issues. My skin immediately began to itch and sting so badly that I had to shower and scrub it off. Even after showering, my skin was still irritated.

It is the only lotion I have used that truly reduced skin sensitivity for me from using actives such as aha, bha, and tretinoin. It also keep my skin hydrated and not being oily and heavy. Highly recommend.

I’ve used this lotion for years, but the new formula is terrible! It stings and left my skin looking like it was covered in grease. Why do all these companies keep changing things that work well for years just to save a few pennies? I’ll happily pay more for a product that works!

I’m not usually a lotion/ cream wearer since most creams I find them to be heavy compounded but my hands were getting dry and I was looking something to help especially with sensitive skin . I’ve had this brand before with mixed feelings and did some searching online for lotion with this being top so I was willing to try it but once I started putting it on my hand ooouuufff instant regret. My hands were itching and burning like crazy and my hands felt tacky . After 10 mins the burning feeling stopped but my hand felt tacky still. I had to rewash my hands 😖😖😖😖 need less to say I’m returning this.

Everytime I use this intensive moisturizing lotion it makes my skin burn, sting, and tingle for at least 10 mins. I love CeraVe products typically as well as laroche posay, and have had super dry skin. I'm bummed that the intensive moisturizing lotion is affecting me like this.

I just purchased this product for the first time and have always been a fan of other CeraVe products. But like many other review have immediately developed an itchy rash. I have only ever reacted to one other body lotion this way and do not normally have sensitive skin. Cannot recommend.

This product makes my skin feel like it’s on FIRE. Immediately after putting on my face, it makes my face feel like it is burning and stinging for a good couple minutes until dies down. I don’t know if it is an ingredient but it is nothing like I have experienced before.

Stinky lotion, an offense to the senses and fails to absorb well

This had my skin burning and itching terribly after applying!

Feels great and hydrating/moisturizing on the face, but I cannot put it on my body after the shower without having extreme itchiness and burning? Very confused by that because it feels fine on my face. I’ve tried using it as body lotion 10+ times and every time I have the same reaction.

I have eczema on my hands and had a sample of CeraVe from my Dermatologist. It must have been a different formula because it was great. I bought the Intensive Moisturizing Lotion with 5% Hydro-Urea and it have made my eczema so itchy and painful. I have tried it multiple times and every time I use it it causes itchy and painful reactions.

This lotion is beyond amazing. I started a new medication that made my skin extremely dry, itchy, and rashy with eczema. I thought hives at first. The daily moisturizer wasn’t cutting it. The thicker moisturizing cream wasn’t cutting it. I tried pure shea butter, pure cocoa butter. Straight up aquaphor. Different things helped with different success rates but I was still so itchy. I saw this on the shelf and bought it out of desperation. I didn’t think it’d work. After the first application I felt relief, and after a few days my skin started visibly improving. I’ve been using it daily for a few weeks now, and I cannot express how thankful I am I bought this lotion. My skin is better than it was before I started taking this new medication. My scars have gotten lighter. My KP has gotten smoother. My full body eczema is virtually gone. My (mild) psoriasis is virtually gone. It has even somehow managed to help mitigate my neuropathic itching. It’s not greasy or heavy or uncomfortable to wear either. It might be too much for a humid summer, but we shall see. I cannot express how thankful I am for this lotion. It’s incredible.
