CeraVe earns strong reviews as a dermatologist-recommended staple that works—especially for sensitive, dry, and acne‑prone skin—thanks to gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers that layer well under makeup and visibly hydrate and calm irritation. Weaknesses surface around texture and feel (some creams heavy or filmy, occasional greasiness or insufficient moisture), hit‑or‑miss results for certain skin types, mixed experiences with SPF formulas and actives causing irritation, and concerns about cruelty‑free status and select ingredients.

It is so soothing and locks in moisture. I personally put the vitamin c in my fridge to keep it cold . It’s works better for me

In my journey of dealing with acne ,white heads and black heads ,i ended up using products that left my face so dry ,dehydrated and flaky .I incorporated the salicylic acid cleanser & hydrating cleanser alternatively in my routine alongside the moisturising cream which in turn returned my skin to it’s original glory .I built back my skin barrier with the help of these two products and my skin has never reverted because of the consistency

This is an amazing product. It absolutely does what is expected . I have very dry skin and this is one of the only creams that gives my skin the moisture it needs.

CeraVe's Foaming Cleanser has become a staple in my skincare routine. The gentle formula effectively removes impurities without leaving my skin feeling stripped or dry. It's fragrance-free, making it ideal for sensitive skin. The inclusion of ceramics contribute to a hydrating experience, leaving my complexion balanced. This cleanser provides a refreshing cleanse, making it a reliable choice for anyone seeking a no-fuss, effective skincare essential.

to say the least, i have a love-hate relationship with the facial moisturizing PM lotion. i used it for about a couple of months before i switched to another moisturizer, and i'm so glad that i decided to switch. my skin is oily and combo so i was unsure of what would be the best moisturizer for my skin type. at first, it worked so well and my skin always felt so rejuvenated after but as i kept using (never changing my skincare products) it began to dry out my skin and leave a white cast. this is my personal experience, so i'd just try to test patch areas of your body before using the products. plenty of people use this brand and love it so just try it out for yourself to see what works for your skin type/issues. overall, i'll give it a 3.5/5 because the lotion did it's job for the meantime until my skin got used to the product.

Always loved Cerave, it's been a timeless and dependable brand especially when it comes to cleansers and moisturizers! Personally, I use their cleansers and retinol since I have other moisturizers that work better for my combination and sensitive skin. But that being said if you have sensitive skin like I do and hesitant to try strong retinol, then try their skin renewing or skin resurfacing retinol serums. Skin renewing is the purple bottle for anti-aging and fine lines, skin resurfacing is the baby blue bottle used to resurface the skin like a gentle exfoliation. No bad side effects for me when I used it but remember to moisturize daily and nightly as their cleansers and retinol can be drying for some. Enjoy <3

I loved how my skin looked after the first day/night of using it. The only thing I would request is I bought the one for dry skin and it made my skin feel dryer

I depend on CeraVe to help the dry skin areas on my arms and legs. Since I started using it a year ago, there has been a big difference in my skin.

For me, CeraVe creams are the best. I wouldn't trade them for anything. I have hormonal acne, and these creams are the ones my skin loves the most.

I have used the CeraVe Hydrating cleanser for normal to dry skin for about 5 years. I find it gentle and cleanses well. Some other cleaners I have tried had a burning effect

I have been using CeraVe SA cleanser for quite sometime and I absolutely love it, its very effective for Acnes and pimples and works within 3-7days...it could be very harsh on sensitive skin, so I'll advice minimal use.

Great cleanser for sensitive skin. I also like the mineral sunblock (spf 30). Even though the sunblock leaves behind a white film, I appreciate the ingredients.

Awful to my skin! Bought the cleanser for sensitive skin and my skin got worst, a lot of pimples started to appear.

Nothing can top them for their simplicity and gentleness. They are like the warm, comforting, healing embrace of a mother after the cold, cruel world has harmed you and your skin barrier. The only reason I’m deducting a star from this review is that they still aren’t cruelty free and that makes me sad.

Since this brand is very well known as the safest and most effective skincare, this may come as a shock. It was quite shocking for me too as I am devoted to their products. However, they all contain Propylparaben which is classified as a hazardous ingredient and is prohibited in leave-on products. If you do not already know, parabens are highly harmful to humans as they are endocrine disruptors that exhibit estrogenic and anti-androgenic properties. This means they may contribute to the development of estrogen-dependent tumours and thus certain breast cancers. Their SPF stuff contains Octocrylene and Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate which is a common chemical UV filter allergic in particular cases to the sun. It is also a suspected endocrine disruptor. SPF stuff also contains parabens and BHT which are also classified as hazardous.

I have been using CeraVe Moisturizer and foaming facial cleanser for about 6 months now, and my skin has never looked better. I recommend this product to all my friends. Another thing the product packaging is pretty unisex (not that I care) but for some men they do. This product is all around a great product.

I’ve used almost all their cleaners and tend to repurchase the foaming one the most. I also use their sunscreen. I have been using Cerave for years now and it’s really helped my oily skin. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a mild cleanser for breakout-prone skin.
