Reviews mention

  • Gentle, fragrance-free formulations
  • Dermatologist-recommended, trusted reputation
  • Hydrating, barrier-restoring moisturizers
  • Effective acne-cleansing options
  • Occasional heavy, comedogenic moisturizers
  • Some cleansers feel drying
  • Spf can irritate or feel oily
  • Lookalike packaging causes mix-ups

CeraVe earns strong reviews as a gentle, dermatologist-recommended staple that keeps skin hydrated, soothes sensitivity, supports acne care, and helps repair the barrier—especially with Hydrating Cleanser, Foaming Cleanser, SA Cleanser, Moisturizing Cream, and AM/PM lotions. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some moisturizers feel heavy or pore-clogging, certain cleansers can be drying or leave a film, SPF and AM lotion irritate a minority, packaging can confuse lookalike bottles, and the brand isn’t cruelty-free for some buyers’ ethics.

  • 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

  • Good but not great. I would say that my experience using CeraVe was beneficial to my skin but not life changing. I felt as if their products were doing the bare minimum and that most of their value prop is that they were developed with dermatologists which is already a pretty common thing. It's in the same camp as Cetaphil for me.

  • 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.

  • I love how effective and gentle they are on my skin. The face products, especially the cleansers and moisturizers, keep my skin hydrated and clear without causing any irritation. The body lotions and creams are equally impressive. CeraVe’s use of essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid really sets their products apart. They offer fantastic quality at an affordable price.

  • 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.

  • I get extremely dry skin on my knees and elbows and this cream works so well for that! I also love using in the winter months all over the face and body. The hydration lasts all day and skin looks so great after I apply

  • 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.
