It prevents dry skin without causing trouble. The scent is a bit light and doesn't smell and doesn't last long, so it doesn't strain your face.
nice product, but i prefer using it on my body instead of my face. for some people it’s good on the face, and for others, it can cause breakouts.
After seeing so many good reviews I ordered 3 tubs of 454 gram and found out that it stings and burns when applied on my face, so using it now as body lotion.
If you look on the website you can see that they mention that they update their ingredients regularly
The consensus seems to be that this moisturizer is good for sensitive skin, but for some reason I had an awful reaction. My face stung and burned, and the day after I put it on I had little pimples like scabs on my face that took a few weeks to heal. t was so bad, I can't believe it.
This was sometime in 2018 USA, so it's possible the formulation is different now or in other places. Just wanted to give my two cents because I never heard of someone else having this experience with cerave
The ingredients of my Product is different with my tube version cream, I bought it from the local drugstore and then it shows made in France
Replying to a previous comment. I just bought this cream and ingredients list seems the same. I guess they changed formula in newer batches.
I assume people come to the website to check a product because they care about the ingredient safety so I feel it is necessary to point out that this particular ingredient list is incomplete. Some of the worse ingredients such as parabens are left out so please make sure you are looking at reviews that contain the complete ingredient list.
It is a very thick, emollient cream. A little goes a long way, especially on the face. It moisturizes for a long time. Interestingly, the cream goes on matte, which is great to put sunscreen on afterwards.
Hydrating & doesn't break me out
