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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
As far as cheap-end skincare products go, this brand is pretty good! I have gotten many of their products over the years and have never experienced any issues with them or irritation to my skin. I have nothing bad to say about them I just know there are more effective products out there otherwise this would be a 5/5!

I am obsessed with their sheer tint sunscreen. It is my go to everyday! I have been using it for years and it keeps my skin protected and so glowy. I can’t count how many tubes I’ve gone through!

Love love love as a basic skincare brand
I have the skin-renewing night cream in the purple jar and the AM facial moisturizing lotion with SPF 30. I use the night cream before applying Retin-A at night. It goes on feeling rich but doesn't leave my skin feeling smothered. Since using the Retin-A every night I've had to switch to a different day moisturizer because I was peeling, but if you don't use retinol or your skin is less sensitive I'd definitely recommend it. The AM facial moisturizing lotion with SPF 30 absorbs quickly and doesn't leave skin feeling greasy. It's a great product.

CeraVe is great quality, especially for a drugstore brand. If you're already using a prescription-strength retinol (like the one you get from a dermatologist) and deciding between a CeraVe moisturizer and something pricier from a prestige cosmetic brand, I'd go with the CeraVe.
I just bought the lotion today as I ran out. I like that it’s not super thick & feels soft. I use it when I get out of the shower.
I use the Cerave foaming cleanser and the daily moisturizer and it's been great for my skin. When it comes to the basic needs of skin care Cerave is a very trusted brand that has a variety of products for different skin needs.

my experience with this brand is the moisturizer cream is really amazing. Your face feels moisturize. It does a great job especially in cold environments. It doesn’t get dried up. a new concert did a amazing job of getting rid of my act within two weeks of using it half my ass, and he was gone while I was using these other brands that took forever for my acne to go away.

A very good product, especially for teenage skin. With constant use, the skin looks healthy and without rashes. Very soft and gentle product and does not have a strong smell.

I switched to CeraVe after a dermatologist visit….I had no idea drugstore face creme could be this amazing! The ceramides have transformed my skin, I am about to purchase it again! Looking forward to trying their eye products and sunscreen. My mom has blepharitis and ceraVe oil free is the only stuff she can put on her skin and not get an infection! Love this brand

Cereve is my favorite facial cleanser as of right now! I struggle with my face either being super oily or super dried out and I never thought there would be an in between until I found cereve

I like this lotion as it is good to me on damp skin fresh out of the shower. I then go in with my body oil and my fragrance of the day. This lotion absorbs well into the skin and doesn’t really have a scent so doesn’t clash with my perfume. It works well on dry skin as well. I use in my children’s bath routine as well.

I've had the CeraVe am moisturizer for almost 3 years and I've always loved it! I've recommended it to many friends and family for dry/oily skin.

This product is a God send, especially for my Granddaughter who has very dry skin and rough patches. Her skin has changed dramatically. We love it!

The moisturising cream worked perfectly fine for me in the summer because it’s not that oily in the summer heat. It however left my skin dry during the winter because I have dry skin in the winter. You’ll definitely need to reapply it multiple times during the day if you have dry skin in the winter.
