I bought this for the humid summer months when heavy mosturizer sits on the skin instead of absorbing. I wanted to love this, it is lightweight and feels almost cooling. But it burns. I have very senstive skin, and it burns in some areas, especially the drier parts of my face. And do NOT use this if you have a sunburn, it hurts even more. It is lightweight, but even multiple pumps my skin still feels tight. Maybe if I didn’t have such sensitive skin it would be okay, but doesn’t work for me.
Not for sesitive skin

I have used Cerave in the past and never had a problem, however, this product caused an allergic reaction around my eyes. I do not recommend. This is not sensitive skin friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One thing I look for in a moisturizer is it being light weight and this ge brings that. It provides great protection and feels like you have nothing on your face.

Wow! This is such an amazing product for your skin. It’s very light and smooth, and extremely weightless on the skin. It’s as if you’re using water. The packaging is very easy to maneuver through and it has a wonderful scent on top of it all. I highly recommend this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the lightweight texture which is especially suitable for the oily areas of my face. My face looks less greasy throughout the day and skin feels balanced. The gel cream also preps my skin well for makeup.

It is TOO light. I think it actually dries my face out. I like that it is clear and rubs in easy.
Best moisturizer I have EVER used!

It is so light weight and moisturizing but doesn’t leave me feeling shiny or greasy! My only complaint is the price - I wish the offered this exact formula in a larger size!!
Not for me.

It was nice at first because it's not sticky. After couple use, my skin becomes dry using this product. Nothing else changed in my routine.
Bad packaging, good product

Perfect for the summer heat, light but moisturizing enough. I cannot stand the pump packaging. I had to cut it open once it was about half full because a lot of product was still left inside.

Love this product! I tried the facial moisturizer with spf 30 and didn’t like it. This gel is awesome! It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly and is non greasy. This will be my “go to” moisturizer!

Nice lightweight moisturizer but all of the product does not come out of applicator and you have to cut the end off when it stops dispensing to get another 30 applications out.
Perfect for the summer and combination skin

I bought this 2 weeks ago and it’s perfect for my combination skin, my dry cheeks are hydrated after using it but it’s not too much for my “T” zone. My sensitive skin love it.
Nice-&-light, dry to the touch

I'm very selective about my lotions (consistency, fragrance, feel on my skin). Prior to discovering this product, I've been pleased with using CeraVe's Ultra-Light Face Lotion Moisturizer with Sunscreen - SPF 30. I appreciate that this facial moisturizer is a lightweight gel (having a combination oily complexion, especially during the warmer months); has a very light fragrance (if, at all); and absorbs quickly, leaving my face dry to the touch! Now, I'm able to select a facial sunscreen of my choice to pair with this moisturizer.
I love this product 💕

I have dry skin and am looking for a lightweight gel for the last layer before sunscreen. This gel is much more than I expected. This gel ingredient has three essential ceramides, vitamin B3 and Ha, which help strengthen the skin barrier. In addition, it’s Lightweight, absorbs quickly, and is reasonable as well

Love this formula, unfortunately the packaging is bad. After only a few uses the pump just pumps out air (there is lots of product left in the tube). I would love to buy this again, but I won't until the packaging changes.
1 reply from CeraVe team - 3 months ago
Hi Kirby! We are sorry to hear about your experience with our Ultra-Light Gel Moisturizer. This product has an airless pump so there will be no straw/tube going down to the bottom of the product. We recommend pumping 15-20 time at first to get the product to dispense. We also suggest lightly tapping the bottom of the product on hard surface to release any air bubbles that might be in the chamber. We hope this helps! If you would like to speak with us, please give us a call at 888-768-2915 MF9:00 am – 5:30 pm ET and provide reference number 33738217. We hope this helps!
