Would not recommend.
This lotion made my skin burn so bad and made my eyes red and puffy, despite not being allergic to any of the ingredients. This lotion also gave me terrible cystic acne like never before. I’ll continue with Vanicream.

Restores sheen and elasticity
This is my new go-to daily lotion, it's the right amount of moisture in between the light and cream formulas. I discovered it after spending 5 weeks in the Florida Keys sun - it restored sheen and elasticity.

dermatitic skin improved drastically within days
This is the first CeraVe product I've tried after having some success with a knockoff moisturizer. I suffered from red flaky skin around my eyes caused by seborrheic dermatitis. The flakes could be suppressed by applying my previous moisturizer multiple times a day but the redness remained. Not only does this product clearly moisturize for longer, the remaining redness disappeared within a few days of using it. My only complaints (which are strongly outweighed by the benefits) are that I would not argue with anyone who perceived this product as "greasy", and that, while it may be "unscented", it does in fact have a "smell". Greasy is a subjective term but this product leaves a sheen on your skin that is more conspicuous and lasts for longer than my last moisturizer. The smell of this product, while not bad, is also not good. The best I can describe it is adjacent to a disposable medical glove or a party balloon.

Pills like crazy
I bought this hoping for extra moisture because my skin has been dry while using tretinoin in the winter. Stick with CeraVe's regular moisturizing line. This moisturizer is greasy, attracts lint, and pills like crazy, even when applied by itself without any other products. It also stung my skin a bit. I used it for about a week and didn't notice any more moisture than when I use my regular CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. I will be returning.

Sticky, heavy filter
I bought this hoping it would help me with my atopy prone skin (especially bothersome now during a winter)- does it help, I don't know and don't care to find out. Why? When buying a moisturizer I always look for one most the important aspect- does it leave heavy filter or not? CeraVe says no, except yes, it does. I would know since I cannot, literally cannot, have anything sticky/greasy/heavy on my skin- especially on the skin I put the clothes on. It's sticky, heavy and gluey on my skin- right after the shower. it's disgusting and uncomfortable. I wouldn't bother with this review, have CeraVe *not* stated this lotion doesn't leave a filter. It does. And now I'm stuck with without any lotion and itchy skin until I get my usual CeraVe lotion (which does not, in fact, leave a fillter). I guess I did learn not to trust CeraVe too quickly (and some other reviewers).

Hello Lazz! We are sorry to hear that the Intensive Moisturizing Lotion felt heavy and sticky, as we aim to provide effective relief for atopy-prone skin without discomfort. This formula is specifically designed to provide a rich, protective barrier, but we understand that texture preferences are essential for daily comfort. To improve absorption and minimize any residue, a helpful tip is to apply a very small amount to damp skin immediately after showering, which helps the ceramides and hyaluronic acid integrate more smoothly. If you prefer a weightless finish, our Daily Moisturizing Lotion remains an excellent choice for maintaining the skin barrier with a lighter feel. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to balance intensive hydration with a comfortable, non-greasy application.

BURNS, please don't use this
I originally only used this for my hands and noticed it always stung a little but I assumed that was because my hands get cracked and bleed when they are super dry. But today I tried using it on my legs because they have been super dry from winter weather and it BURNED so badly that I had to get back in the shower and rewash my skin. Even after that, it still stings. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, especially those with sensitive skin.

Never had a problem with Cerave before this
I love most Cerave products. It’s what was recommended for my daughter when she was a baby. She has severe food allergies and in turn has always had bad eczema. Lately my skin has been very dry and breaking out in eczema in places so I thought I’d try this. I made the mistake of putting it on after shaving. It’s burned and stung so bad, I almost scratched my skin off. I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone. Now I have this huge bottle that I can’t even use because it makes me so uncomfortable.

Do not recommend. Whatever is in this formula burns and has caused rashes on both hands that aren’t calming down. Other CeraVe still seems OK, so it’s something in this new product.

Itching and burning
I used this product today for the first and only time. Within 5 seconds my skin started to burn and itch. At first I thought it was because my skin was too dry, but the intensity of the itching and burning was too strong. I regret purchasing this product and will go back to using the classic Daily Moisturizing Lotion.

NOT FOR DRY/ACNE PRONE SKIN
Absolutely regret this purchase. Should have read closer on this label but it’s comedogenic. It broke me out the worst I have in YEARS. DO NOT PURCHASE if you have dry/acne-prone skin. This is NOT for us. This is the only thing I’ve changed in my routine and I have worked so hard to keep my acne at bay. I’ve been using this for a week and feel like I have to start over again. So disappointed!

Holy grail body lotion
As a body lotion this is a bit heavy for wearing during the day (unless you live in a very cold dry climate or have extremely dry skin) but as an overnight moisturizer it is amazing. You’ll wake up with your skin feeling so luxuriously silky smooth. A little goes a long way and it’s very easy to apply, not too thick. As long as you don’t use too much it absorbs fairly quickly and non-greasy.

Your skin will love CeraVe products
Best body lotion for very dry skin. I use it 3-4 days a week and skin never felt better. It absorbs fast and no grease. I switched to all CeraVe body products including gel for face. I also use the foaming face wash as my daily shower soap., then use lotion while still wet. This stuff is great.

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.
