I like this one a lot finally good for me
I tried the CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream, which was developed with dermatologists, and I have to say it works really well for me. This cream is made for dry to very dry skin, and that definitely describes me—especially with my monster-looking feet (lol) and my legs and calves that tend to get...

Not as hydrating as expected
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was excited to try CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream because it claims to restore the skin barrier, but it was not as hydrating as expected, and so I have mixed feelings about it. My hands needed the most help, but it stung initially, s...

Honest review
I've been testing the CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream for a few weeks now, and here's the full breakdown: ✨ Ingredients: This cream is powered by ceramides + hyaluronic acid, which are a dream team for strengthening the skin barrier and locking in moisture. It's also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, so it's gentle on sensitive or acne-prone skin. ✨ Absorption: Even though it's a thicker cream, it doesn't just sit on top of the skin. It takes a minute to sink in, but once it does, it leaves my skin soft and hydrated without that greasy or sticky feeling. Perfect for both face and body. ✨ Scent: Fragrance-free — which I love. No overpowering perfume, no weird chemical smell. Just clean, simple skincare. If you have scent sensitivities, this is a big win. ✨ Texture: Rich and creamy, almost like a whipped balm. A little goes a long way, and it gives that immediate soothing relief if your skin is extra dry or irritated. ✨ Packaging: Simple, no-frills, and practical. The tub is huge (great value!), and they also make smaller sizes that are perfect for travel or tossing in your bag. It's very "dermatologist office chic" — clean and minimal. 🌙 Final Thoughts: If you need serious hydration and barrier repair without breaking the bank, this is a holy grail moisturizer. It's not flashy, but it delivers results every single time. 💧

Great for dry, hard working hands!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Great for dry, thirsty skin. I love how it absorbs and deeply moisturizes. It leaves my skin soft. In my line of work, I wash my hands a lot. I love how this lotion works.

I will be buying this product in the future
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have very dry skin and after using CeraVe my dry skin is smooth and soft. The itch has calmed down. I will be purchasing CeraVe again. I highly would recommend CeraVe to anyone.


Intensive Creme- Excellent Value
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This cream has a thick, rich, and creamy consistency that feels luxurious on the skin. I love that it's fragrance-free, making it perfect for night use and safe for allergies. After a shower, my skin just soaks it up. It's non-greasy, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It worked especially well on my very dry feet during the summer season. Excellent value, and I would definitely repurchase.



It really works
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The bottle is not different from any other lotion bottle on my shelf. The scent is not overbearing in any way. What sets this lotion apart from the rest is the quality. It feels like it works down to the bone.
