CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion

Good moisturizer but i don't recommend using it on the face before u put on makeup. my makeup peeled terribly.

This formula works even better than the original. It's not stocky at all, and my skin feels soft and moisturized for almost the whole day.

Prior to previous cerave formulas I have tried, this is much more mousturizing, with a breathable feeling. I have combination, acne prone skin and since using this product, I have not experienced a breakout. My complexion has never been more clear. The only downside, is a slightly greasy feeling but it isn't too bad. Price point is affordable, and I would recommend this as a daily moisturizer

This is better than their original lotion. For context, I have used CeraVe products since I was 15 years old and diagnosed with Atopic Dermatitis on my hands (I'm in my mid-30s now). I still have the occasional minor flare-ups, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was when I was in high school (we're talking all over redness, extremely itchy bumps, dry/cracked skin, and significant bleeding). What I do deal with now is a damaged skin barrier on my hands from years of topical steroid use; I was diagnosed and treated before dermatologists knew topical steroids could be bad for you long-term. As a result, my hands are constantly dry and I am forever reapplying lotion to them, so I am always interested in moisturizers that are long-lasting. When I saw this new version of CeraVe lotion, I decided to give it a try. So far, so good! It lasts through a couple of hand washes, my hands feel much softer, and are retaining moisture better. This product lives up to the claims of not being sticky or greasy, which is great for someone like me who had to endure years of thick, greasy, occlusive creams and topicals. I will say it does take a minute to fully rub it into your skin - it doesn't dry quickly like Hempz brand lotion does, but to be fair, it provides way more moisture and lasts much longer between applications. The only downside is, if you have any open cuts or particularly dry patches from eczema or other skin conditions, it may cause a very slight stinging/itching, but it's tolerable and immediately goes away once the lotion is absorbed. I did deduct one star for this reason, because other lotions and creams have eliminated the ingredients that cause this, and it may be a deal-breaker for some people. Overall, I would recommend it and will likely repurchase until I find something better!

Compared to the original hydrating lotion this gives longer lasting results. It feels like it sinks so mych deeper into my skin and even if I don't reapply after a shower my skin is still noticably more hydrated with no product on it. It also isnt greasy or almost sticky feeling like a lot of itch relief or deep hydrating lotions are. I'd recommend this over the original daily lotion formula especially for the itchy dry skin girlies in the winter
