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.

I love their products and they don't irritate my skin, as I have sensitive skin. However with the hydrating cleanser I personally don't like it as my face doesn't feel clean after using it.

In July 2023, I was on the hunt for an affordable gel/cream cleanser because my current one was running low. After some research on gel/cream cleansers, I opted for the Cerave Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser. With my combination skin, finding the right cleanser is essential to prevent irritation. It's been two months since I started using the Cerave cleanser. It's fragrance-free and incredibly gentle on my skin, effectively removing waterproof mascara and lipstick. I wholeheartedly recommend it as an economical choice for a second cleanse. Plus, it comes in a generously sized bottle, which is great when you're on a budget.

Me and my sister have had really bad acne ever since we became teenagers and these products were the first to make a huge difference after trying so many skincare products. They are also very affordable. We truly recommend it a lot. We attached photos of the products that helped us the most :)

I've been using CeraVe products for a few years now and they do it the best! I use the Moisturizing Cream, Hydrating Facial Cleanser, Hydrating Toner, and the Facial Moisturizers for AM/PM as part of my daily morning and night routines.

The bottling of the brands is very similar. Sometimes I accidentally use the pump-lotion instead of my hydrating cleanser.

For the money I think CeraVe is clutch. I keep this in our shower at all times!

I love the moisturizer with spf 50. I use this daily and is perfect for my fair skin.

Easy to apply but not really effective. Just moisturising

Have a child with eczema. Best stuff ever!!!!

Best under eye cream I’ve ever had! Helps to get rid of dark circles under eyes.

I have the hydrating cleanser and it’s my fav water based cleanser of all. It leaves the skin feeling smooth and clean.

One of the best Moisturizer out there... And it is cost effective

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.

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

You can spend a LOT of money on skincare and not really see a difference, but CeraVe has been a proven winner for me. The moisturizers work beautifully on my dry skin and I never feel like I have residue remaining on my skin after I apply it. It's affordable, it's convenient and it works. I love this product.
I have used their retinol and it has been great! It is a good price point and not too harsh on the skin.
CeraVe is a solid skincare brand that offers effective and affordable products. I’ve been using their moisturizers and cleansers for a while now, and they leave my skin feeling hydrated and clean without irritation. The formulas are gentle, which is perfect for my sensitive skin. While I love the simplicity and reliability, I wish there were more variety in textures for different skin types. Overall, it’s a great go-to brand for everyday skincare!
I am always pleasantly surprised when I see this brand in high-end dermatology offices. It really is an effective, gentle, and safe product to use pre and post procedures and then consistently in your skincare routine. I love how affordable the products are and how they are all readily available at drugstores. I do mix and match with high-end medical grade skincare and feel it provides a nice balance. If my doctors are fans of this brand, then I will remain a loyal fan as well.
The moisturizers are nice. I don’t like the brand/company because they test on animals.
One of my most trusted skin care brands. You will see their products in tons of lists for best skincare and it’s totally true. All of the products are gentle on your skin and fairly priced.
The best lotions for my skincare needs.
