CeraVe Moisturising Cream

Dont you just love getting a product which actually does what it says it will do. Like it fulfils ot promises and delivers?

I've been using CerVe for the past week and a bit, only on my body especially elbows, knees, feet and hands (especially these days when it seems you are sanitizing every living second). CeraVe wasn't greasy, easily absorbed and a little goes along way, so this tube is going to last a while!

My skin texture improved and dry patches are going, especially on my feet! Thank you summer and those barefoot days. Sigh! I've never used the ceramides on my skin yet, or hydraulic acid, where have I been? And I feel that these magical little mysteries of miracles worked their magic.

I'm going to continue using CeraVe to obtain and even improve on the results I'm currently getting.

I received CeraVe Moisturising Cream through beautyreview.co.nz and was excited to try it as I have quite dry areas on my face and body and had yet been able to find a moisturiser that really suits my needs. I firstly noticed that this states on the front of the bottle that you can use on your face as well was a bonus. I like the simplicity of the packaging, the easy to use inverted bottle and opener and the thick consistancy of this cream which made it easy to apply. A little goes a long way here. I can imagine this product to be very cost effective for that reason alone. I was first dubious about it being frangrance free, as many products either smell horrible but work well or smell amazing but feel awful, but that quickly changed with how smooth and non-greasy this cream felt after use. I absolutely love this on my hands and my feet as they are undoubtedly the driest areas on my body. As a cleaner, my hands become very dry and this cream is the absolute best I've used! The winner here was the remarkable difference on my feet. The dried and cracked edges are now noticeably smoother, just after a week of daily use. Unfortunately this product made my face feel oily, even though I only used it very sparingly after washing it, so it defintely is not suitable for my normal/dry face. Also I noticed that is does not state anywhere on the bottle that it is cruelty free, which is disappointing. I would purchase CeraVe Moisturising Cream purely to use on my hands and feet alone and would recommend it to anyone who struggles with dry extremities.

I don't even know where to start with this review! I was luckily enough to be selected in a trial team for this product, and I'm so glad that I was, because I am not sure I would have discovered this moisturiser if I wasn't.

My classic gripe with cream based moisturisers is that they always feel clammy. Like they just sit on your skin and never *truly* absorb, and of course your skin doesn't feel dry, because it's clammy instead. Enter, CeraVe.

I want to RAVE about this. Why? - It's unscented. Don't get me wrong, I like a nice scented moisturiser. But sometimes you find a great product, and it smells like your nan's overbearing potpourri, which ruins it for you. It's safer to smell like nothing. - It's so affordable. $16.99, are you kidding me? No elaboration needed. It's also rolling out to Chemist Warehouse which means it's accessible (does anyone else loathe paying for shipping?!) - It's gentle. I have sensitive, dry and dehydrated skin. No product based itchiness here. - It works. I am admittedly useless at moisturising anything other than my face. My poor legs are the polar opposite of baby smooth. After only couple of liberal applications of this moisturising cream, they're pretty darn soft. If I manage to persevere with application... watch out leg models! - The absorbency. It dries down completely, zero dreaded clamminess. Even my hands feel ridiculously smooth and soft from having applied this to other body parts. - I'm currently pregnant and have brought expensive belly oils to hydrate my growing bump. I actually prefer to rub this on my belly and hips, it feels so much nicer.

I have the 170g squeezy bottle which is fine, but the larger sizes being in tubs is a bit lame. I hope they release it in a big pump top bottle!

When I received my CeraVe moisturising cream my teenage daughter gushed. She had heard great things. I was quite sceptical. I have good skin for a woman pushing 50, apart from my hands and find many creams slide off the minute I get hot. I used it after a shower in the morning and before bed. My verdict: It is lovely. I don't sweat it off, it does what a good product should. My husband even noticed a difference on my hands which is no mean feat. So is it gush worthy? Probably not. But it is certainly worth using and I will continue to use it.

Thanks BR for sending me this product to review!!

Truthfully I had never heard of the brand CeraVe but I was excited to hear about it. I usually use a lotion because my favourite cream is no longer available. This could very well replace that depending what this product costs in the shops?? I'm unsure.

This cream is suitable for dry to very dry skin, adults and children, for face and body and for eczema and sensitive skin. How's that for ticking boxes. I have in between dry to very dry (not flaky) and this did absolute wonders.

The info on the 177ml tube (not a tub as shown in pic) states "all day hydration" and I confirm this is true, and longer. Not only did my skin soak up what it needed to be hydrated, the cream created a barrier of feeling moisturised (without a greasy feeling) - I felt moisturised all day.

This also worked really well on my heels, it was soothing and gave me smooth skin. I used this at night on my face which felt really fresh and hydrated. I didn't use this during the day as I felt it the consistency would have been a bit much for the day in the warmth. The consistency is a bit less light than a typical moisturisee but not too thick, it spreads easily.

It states fragrance free on packaging which is correct. I couldn't sense any specific scent from the product which I like when I want to use perfume as well.

5 stars for me, totally recommend for those with dry skin.

I have previously never been set on a moisturiser and would shop around when it was time for a new one. After using Cera Ve for a couple of weeks, I will be sticking with it. The cream isnt too runny or too thick and comes out of the tub/tube with ease. The cream also settled into the skin with minimal smoothing into the skin, which is my favourite as I hate having to continually rub it in. It also did not leave that white sheen that you can often get which was fantastic as this is also meant it wasn't sticky! I noticed within a couple of days my skin was more glowly which I attribute to the moisturiser and I never went dry!

So excited to trial this as have heard amazing things! Loved this moisturiser super great for dry skin, I have sensitive skin and this hasn’t irritated it at all. Smells nice and works well!

I bought this to use as a night cream, I had heard really amazing things about this. I have oily acne skin, but I love to keep my skin hydrated and nourished. I really wanted to love this - it definitley works and but it is abit blah. I do perfer my cetaphil face and body mouisturiser over this

Absolutely love this product! Non greasy, melts into the skin. Only need a little bit. It’s thick which threw me off about needing more but a little goes a long way! Will definitely repurchase!

After seeing this product on the shelves at the Chemist Warehouse, and hearing all they hype, I was keen to try it out. I just bought the smallest tube in case I didn't like it, but I love it! This is a great product, my skin feels really soft and stays hydrated all day. This is also a great option for people who don't like scented products as it has no fragrance whatsoever. I have added this product into my regular rotation and will be buying the biggest tub possible once my current tube runs out!
