CeraVe skin renewing eye cream. I would like to know the percent of Vaseline is in this product. The ingredient list is very long for 15 ml tube. Won't repeat buy this. Just feels like petroleum jelly... See more

Best moisturiser I have ever used for my acne prone, combination skin. The only problem is that it's not cruelty free so I no longer use it but if you don't mind that then I really reccomend

After 15 years of trying so many…

After 15 years of trying so many products including coconut oil Liz Earle Clarins plus many more cerave has been a god send 🙏 my face was at times like sandpaper plus red itchy sore ugly but after just 2 applications my face is smooth and free of all the above a total revelation couldn’t recommend highly enough

Dishonest and poorly formulated

The company refuses to post my honest reviews of their products on their site, probably because they know they’re full of irritating and comedogenic ingredients. Their products burn my skin and cause massive cystic breakouts. Skip this shady af company and buy better quality products.

Best skincare products out there!!!

Best skincare products out there!!!
The salicylic acid cleanser cleared up my skin within 1 month and the hydrating lotion made my skin feel so soft after exfoliating.
10/10 recommend shopping here if you want to clear your skin in less than 1 month.

Brilliant!

I have spent literally hundreds and hundreds of pounds looking for a good moisuriser for very dry skin. All top brands and riduculous price tags!!
I stumbled across Cerave and thought I'd give it a go. Inexpensive, so nothing to lose really and I wasn't expecting miracles.
This stuff is amazing! I cannot believe the difference it has made in one week. My forehead has very dry skin due to psoriasis in my scalp and it is completely clear. It has disappeared completely in one week. I am truly amazed at this stuff it is brilliant.
If you thinking about it, give it a go, you will not be disappointed. I cannot rate it highly enough. Great product.

Terrible product made my skin patched

Terrible product made my skin patched
I have just bought Cerave Cream by thinking that it will heal eczema in my arms, however it turned my arms to zebra. White stripes kind of scars appeared in my both arms which terrified me! Definitely going to the bin!!!

10/10 Would definitely recommend!

Recently my skin got infected ( I have eczema and sensitive skin ). After the infection healed, some red patches remained on my skin and they were itching like crazy, sometimes even cracking up and bleeding. I asked the pharmacist for advice on which moisturiser I should use, and they recommended Cerave Face and Body lotion so I gave it a try! It's worked wonders for my skin ( but if you do have red or damaged skin, Cerave will make it red and sting very slightly, however it will go away with regular use. )

Before my skin got infected I was using Aveeno, and it started to make my skin itch and go red, so I discontinued it.

I would definitely recommend Cerave. Even though it is a bit expensive, it is the best moisturiser I have used! For dry/sensitive skin and all ages

Used Cerave when I lived in the USA...

Used Cerave when I lived in the USA, liked it because I was oily and acne-prone. Live in UK now and ordered a bunch of Cerave for a pretty penny and regretting it. I don't know if the formulation's different. I'd been using Aveeno instead for a few years no problem, ran out, got the Cerave, and my skin has never been more dry.

Cerave knows how to create a problem in order to "fix it" (makes me dry during the day, leading the consumer to apply more, and the cycle repeats). Only been using it for a week and my mouth is cracking at the sides and my skin feels tight.

I recommend going for lotions that don't have a mile-long list of ingredients. Too expensive to be wrecking my skin. Since I had success in the past I feel bad giving 1 star, but there's no redeeming quality of this at its price-point, so it is what it is.

Terrible product

Purchased this product as I have sensitive skin, all I can say is avoid at all costs. I purchased both the cleanser and moisturiser for sensitive skin. Had a terrible reaction, my skin was very red and stinging me for a few days. It made my skin even more sensitive l would definitely not recommend this product..awful product

Good affordable skin care

Good affordable skin care. I`ve got very sensitive, normal to dry skin, prone to rosacea, but so far I`ve been happy with all the products I`ve tried. Recently I purchased SA Smoothing Cream, which really works for my keratosis pilaris and I absolutely love their Moisturizing body lotion (with a pump) and Skin Renewing night cream.

This stuff should be banned!!

This stuff should be banned!!! It doesn’t help sensitive skin, it makes it worse. Please avoid. I vow to only use natural organic products when having issues with my skin, NOT products that contain evil stuff which clog and irritate the skin.

Cerave caused dreadful reaction

I purchased two Cerave prducts for my grown up daughter. The smoothing cleanser and the moisturising cream, these are supposed to be for sensitive skin, but gave my daughter a very bad reaction, making her skin red and sore.
Twice I contacted the customer service department, but they will not answer me.
I would not recommend these products

I am in love with CeraVe!

I am in love with CeraVe! I cannot get enough of CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for Normal to Dry and Normal to Oily skin! What a game changer! This product by far has been the best I have used to help with my combination skin. No more dull looking skin or dry patches. Hello to smaller pores and smoother skin! What a great product and what a life changer! My skin has been so much better since I have started using this product!

A new must in my kit

I discover this brand through a dermatologist on YouTube and then notice lots of beauty experts recommending it as well. I got the universal lotion (not the AM or PM) and I love it. I was a bit worried it would be to thick or heavy for my skin as it’s meant for dry skin and mine is combination. However it applies well, absorbs quick and I can feel my skin absorbing all the moisture which points out my skin was not dry but dehydrated.

Awesome

Best cleanser I have used! I still use prescription creams from my derm for acne, so not a cure-all, but that said, their products are amazing! I use the cleanser and moisturizer every night and it makes my skin feel clean and soft, never dry or greasy. (note that I have veryyyy sensitive skin and this product has never once caused irritation on me.) Their body cream is also life-changing- no more dry elbows, heels etc. Definitely recommend!
