CeraVe Moisturising Lotion

I picked this up in the Vault....thanks BR! I have been using the Cerave moisturising cream and loving it so was excited to crack this one open.

It comes in a 236ml bottle with a pump....I love that it has a pump! It is fragrance free and has a medium consistency.  This can be used on both face and body but for me I like to use it on my face as it is nice and light and makes a great base for my foundation/BB cream.

A little bit definitely goes a long way with this, it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave your skin feeling tacky at all. My face feels soft and hydrated, it doesn't give me breakouts or any irritation.

Overall it is a lovely lotion and I am enjoying using it. I've had no dry patches at all and my skin looks healthy.  A gentle moisturiser that gives you great results.

CeraVe is always a trustworthy brand. I used the SA cleanser and this moisturising lotion, both worked wonders on the skin. It is a gentle and calming mosturizer.

Best moisturiser by far! Lightweight and absorbs really fast. Skin feels soft and moisturised for the entire day. Really great for sensitive skin, and doesn’t irritate skin at all. Really affordable aswel.

A great basic moisturiser. It does what is says it will, moisturises. The lotion is white and unscented, which is great for sensitive skin. One pump is all I need to moisturise my face, neck and decolletage. It absorbs really well. I use this at night.

Great cream I’ve been using to *try* and manage my current eczema flare. It’s good at hydrating and healing damaged skin but it doesn’t stop the itch and the flakiness. I recommend if you have very dry and sensitive skin, but not if you’re trying to use it solely to heal eczema

Dare I say it this looks so basic, almost budget brand. And yet I've enjoyed this more than any other lotion I've used!

I like that this is suitable for sensitive skin and is unfragranced - I'm not a fan of layering scents.

It's a light lotion but still has a nice thickness to it, it's not watery. It absorbs easily into the skin and seems to offer instant hydration

I think the best way of describe this lotion is to think of everything annoying about using a body lotion - the greasy feel, the rubbing in, the scent, the ineffective hydration - and then be wowed that NONE of these things happen when using this CeraVe gem. It makes what is a bit of a beauty chore easy and quick - whilst being really good!

I have mixed feelings about this product - but overall rate it. It states it is for face and body, and my biggest hesitation is around it's efficacy on my face.

As a body moisturiser, I think it is great. It is lightweight and easily applied, and definitely does a good job of moisturising my skin. It has the added bonus of containing ceramides and hyaluronic acid.

But even with these ingredients I did not feel it was quite nourishing enough for my face, not as a night lotion anyhow. It would be entirely suitable as a day moisturiser under make up but I prefer a lotion containing an SPF, which this does not. But if this does not bother you then it spreads evenly and easily and provides enough moisture to then apply make up with a glowy complexion underneath.

As a night lotion, it just didn't feel noursihing enough for me. But then again, I prefer a thicker heavier lotion for my now ageing complexion. If you have a more youthful complexion I would suspect this is a great choice, as it is lightweight and feels lovely to apply.

The packaging is rather low key and reflects the price tag, but it is certainly not offensive in any way. But similarly, not something that makes you feel this product is luxury.

The product's claims of being “lightweight, oil-free, fast absorbing, and non-greasy” ring true. The lotion is also fragrance free which is a bonus if you are sensitive to smells.

So overall this wasn't quite the product I was hoping for to nourish my face and neck, but it is a great lotion for the body, and for those seeking something lightweight and hydrating for more youthful complexions.
