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.

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.

Holy Grail for dry skin!
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.

Great lotion for eczema patches
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.

Made my skin very itchy and irritated
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

Buyer Beware
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.

Game changer!
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.

The new formula is terrible!
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!

Not for senstive skin
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.

Made my skin sting
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.

Not for everyone
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.

Face on FIRE.
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.
