Q: Has anyone had a reaction to this like a rash or burning? I tend to have very sensitive skin and seem to react to nearly every lotion I have tried :( Also, does it have a scent?

submitted by Dogfamily - 2 years ago
  • A: Holy mother of all burning and itching on my face… but it did subside very quickly after it absorbed, and never left a rash. It did make the backs of my dry hands also burn a little after rubbing it in, but that was less intense than the face (and also subsided quickly after it absorbed) I applied it before bedtime in the winter and found my face still feeling very moisturized in the morning but not like a lotion was sitting on the surface. I don’t see myself buying this again due to the intense burning and itching during application, but I do think it’s a decent lotion

    submitted byAnna - 7 months ago
  • A: This lotion has caused a rash and burning on both my daughter and I now. She has somewhat sensitive skin and I wouldn’t consider myself to have sensitive skin but something about this lotion does not react well with us.

Q: Can this be used on your face?

submitted by Kait - 2 years ago
  • A: Don't use it if you have rosacea; I just tried it on my face and found that it burned my rosacea, although it's probably fine if you have normal skin!

    submitted byRinea - 2 years ago
  • A: Hello Kait! While our Intensive Moisturizing Lotion is primarily formulated for the body, it can generally be used on the face, especially for those with very dry skin. However, everyone's skin is different. If you have sensitive facial skin or specific skin concerns, we recommend trying a small amount on a small area first to see how your skin reacts. We also offer facial moisturizers specifically designed for different skin types and needs, like our CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM, which you might find a better fit for your face. You can explore our full range of facial moisturizers on our website.

    Worth EVERY Penny

    This is my go to moisturizer year round for the areas on my body that are dryer than others. For example, my elbows. I always like to use this lotion as a base, then come back over with a nice scented one.

    Must have for dry skin

    This lotion is my must have, because I have very dry skin and eczema, so I need something to moisturize my skin enough every day without any greasy feelings. So this lotion is very good for me. It has no scents, it is drying fast and moisturize my skin very good.

    By far, the best lotion I have ever used. Works like a charm

    My third bottle. I shared this lotion with my sister earlier today. I use 1 pump of this, 1 pump of the regular ceraVe lotion and 1 pump of the ceraVe cream in the tub after I shower daily. My skin stays calm with no itching. Runs into skin completely and evenly with no oily feeling. I do not like scented lotion because it never feels right. This lotion is unscented and satisfies my dry skin.

    Deeply hydrates very dry skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and moisturized without a greasy feel.

    I’ve been really impressed with this lotion. It provides deep, long lasting hydration without feeling greasy, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and noticeably healthier. It’s a great choice for very dry, rough, or sensitive skin.

    Hydration boost

    This lotion is highly effective with a rich (non-greasy) feel. The hydration lasts and the best part is it doesn’t clog my pores. I use it through out the day because of how effective it is for how quickly my skin gets dry.
