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 - 17 days 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 - 3 months 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 - 22 days 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.

Great Addition to the Cerave Line

Added this Cerave product to the lineup of skin care lotions, moisturizers and cleansers that I have been able to use safely, and effectively. To-date, I am seeing improvement in the condition of my skin. I have been suffering with palmoplantar psoriasis that is quite compromising. This is another of the wonderful Cerave products in my arsenal dealing with this miserable skin condition.

I found it to be lightweight, non greasy & it absorbs into my skin quickly . It does a great job of keeping my skin hydrated without having to reapply constantly. I've been using different CeraVe products for years without disappointment! This is a wonderful addition to their line of moisturizers.

I absolutely love the intensive moisturizing lotion. I would prefer it being available in a tub versus the bottle as the last one third of the lotion fails to come out of the pump.

terrible itch and rash

I love the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, but the CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion left me extremely itchy with a red rash on my arms and chest. Legs are a little itchy, but not terrible like my arms and chest. Have been using a wet cloth to calm it, but it's so bad it impacts even sleeping. Not sure what causes it since I've never had an issue with the cream..

Absolutely Horrible—Burns Like Fire

2 out of 5 stars
clug - 2 months ago

Absolutely Horrible—Burns Like Fire and Crusts Like Cement! I had high hopes for the CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion, but this stuff is an absolute nightmare for my skin. The moment I applied it, my face started burning like I had rubbed acid all over it. I thought maybe it was just a slight tingle—NOPE. Within minutes, my skin felt like it was on fire. As if the pain wasn’t enough, this lotion dried down into a crusty, flaky mess, settling into every fine line and crevice like some kind of cement filler. My skin looked drier than before—almost like I had applied glue instead of moisturizer. The worst part? Even after washing it off, the irritation lingered. If you have even remotely sensitive skin, STAY FAR AWAY. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy. Back to the store it goes!

- 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
I was really looking forward to this new release from cerave. I love their daily moisturizing lotion, but in the winter months it's a little too light for my dry skin. Enter this product! However, it is so greasy. It makes me look greasy, it makes me feel sweaty because it's so greasy and doesn't really abdorb fully.
1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 2 months ago
Hello Epp! Thanks for trying our new Intensive Moisturizing Lotion and sharing your feedback! We appreciate you being a fan of our Daily Moisturizing Lotion. We understand your concerns about the greasiness of the Intensive Lotion. It's designed for very dry skin and has a richer formula, which can feel different. While it might not be the right fit for you, it could be perfect for those with extremely dry skin during harsh weather. We recommend continuing to use our Daily Moisturizing Lotion and perhaps exploring our Healing Ointment for very dry patches during winter. We value your input and are always working to develop products that meet diverse skincare needs!

This product works well after two applications on the face and has been effective for very dry, cracked skin. However, I’m not a fan of its consistency afterward—it leaves my face feeling overly slick like a slide!

This moisturizer is the only thing that has gotten rid of my dry patches while not suffocating my perioral dermatitis!! I had wind burn and beard burn along with dry patches and had been trying to get rid of them for two weeks with other heavy moisturizers, but this is the only cream that could do it, and it is almost cleared within two uses. Also, it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy at all after it dries down.

I love this new super moisturizing lotion! It makes my skin feel super soft and smooth. I am 70 with dry skin and this lotion makes it look youthful again. I love the pump and use this every day in my skincare routine. I put some on my neck before my sunscreen for some extra moisture. This is one of my new favorites from CeraVe along with the new SPF 50 face lotion. Yay to no Parabens and no Phenoxyethanol, thank you!

akt - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
This is the best moisturizer I’ve ever used for my face. I’m on accutane right now and I was afraid this would be too lightweight or that the urea would be too much. But this moisturizer has been the most effective thing at combatting the dryness side effects from accutane. I have zero flakes, zero tight skin. My skin is literally so hydrated after using this generously on my face, neck and chest. Highly recommend trying over the original moisturizer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] CeraVe Hydrating Lotion is a standout for its lightweight yet effective formula, designed to provide long-lasting moisture. Infused with essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, it helps restore the skin's barrier while keeping it hydrated. The lotion absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for daily use. Users appreciate its gentle, non-irritating nature, suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Overall, it's an ultimate choice for anyone seeking a reliable, budget-friendly moisturizer.

Wonderful! My face is very dry AND dehydrated which are not the same thing. I found this in the store and decided to give it a try. It feels wonderful on my face and I don’t find myself reapplying a lot through out the day like I normally do with other face moisturizers.
