Reviews mention

  • Gentle, dermatologist-backed formulations
  • Fragrance-free, sensitive-skin options
  • Hydrating, ceramide-rich moisturizers
  • Effective, acne-calming cleansers
  • Occasional heavy, comedogenic creams
  • Drying, under-foaming cleansers
  • Irritating, oily-feeling sunscreens
  • Inconsistent texture and finish

CeraVe earns strong reviews as a gentle, dermatologist-recommended line that effectively hydrates, calms acne, and supports sensitive skin—especially through staples like the Hydrating Cleanser, Foaming Facial Cleanser, Moisturizing Cream, AM/PM Facial Moisturizing Lotions, and Healing Ointment. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some moisturizers feel heavy or cause breakouts, certain cleansers can be drying or under-cleanse, SPFs can irritate or feel oily, and concerns arise over non–cruelty-free status and perceived harsh or endocrine-disrupting filters in some sunscreens.

  • I have a very sensitive skin and since I added Cerave hydrating cleanser to my daily skin care my face is much cleaner and without irritations

  • Love their products, especially the cleansers. All are derm recommended and work great on different types of skins. I continue to repurchase.

  • Amazing products for amazing prices. Love the face washes and spf but my favorite is the healing cream

  • This lotion is the workhorse of my bathroom cabinet. Great for hands, face and body, it’s my go to no scent product for gentle moisturizing. I have to remind myself it’s a great product when I inevitably run out and have to restock and do a double take at the price, but it’s reliable and gentle.

  • These products are readily available everywhere and offer a wide range of benefits, including acne treatments and psoriasis creams. fairly priced.

  • Was skeptical of the brand’s use of the word ceramides in their name. But I was proven wrong! Love their super high quality products!

  • Have the face wash and moisturizer both work great for my daughter keeping her face clear of blemishes and silky smooth.

  • Use their moisturizing cream and salylic cleanser daily. Really good for the money and see a noticeable difference in skin texture after using it for a few weeks

  • Not as good as other brands I have tried for moisturizers but affordable and accessible!

  • I have purchased these items and have always been happy with the luxury quality and affordable pricing.

  • Our dermatologist recommended and so did my facia list! Can’t go wrong. Clean, easy and easy to find in any drugstore

  • These products are all formulated for sensitive skin. They are hydrating and are functional and helpful to tons of different skin types!

  • I use the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser daily- its perfect for removing makeup. Great for people with sensitive skin!

  • I use the face wash and am moisturizing cream i had really dry skin I was needing a product to help combat my issues it’s working, so I will continue to use I’m 44 so it’s good for mature skin

  • CeraVe Moisturizer is a game-changer for me, as it's the only product that has effectively addressed my skin concerns. I love the fact that it not only deeply moisturizes but also offers built-in SPF protection, saving me time and effort in my skincare routine. The formula absorbs quickly, leaving my skin hydrated and protected throughout the day. I highly recommend CeraVe Moisturizer for anyone seeking a reliable and multi-functional skincare solution.

  • Great brand. Worth the money. Moisturizer is great for dry skin. Cleanser is also great and not heavily scented.

  • Through the pandemic my skin starting having issues - dry patches and eczema. I read that I should try CeraVe and that's how it made it into my rotation. It's not something I use daily but when I start to feel these issues come on, I switch to the CeraVe night cream and eye cream while my skin heals. It's been a great thing to add to my toolkit.

  • Cerave offers a wide range of products and for a wide range of skin types and skin condition,so every user picks products suitable for them.
