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

I love CeraVe's moisturizers and cleansers. I live in a desert climate, and these have saved my skin. However, their sunscreens are absolutely terrible. Thick, don't absorb well, leave white stains on... 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

Be careful with this product!

I bought this product after reading the positive reviews on Cerave's official website and I was actually excited to try it out since I have very sensitive skin and they said it was recommended by dermatologists. I only used it for 2 or 3 days and the reaction I got from this cleanser is the worst I've ever had.I had big painful breakouts all over my face. Then I decided to check the ingredients(which I should have done in the first place) and saw that it has some questionable ingredients like PEG-40 stearate which may contain known carcinogens. I'm very disappointed.

What's even more baffling is, I posted this same review on their official website but they moderated it and refused to publish it. So if you are seeing this, think twice.

Best cleanser I have ever used

I recently came across Cerave and I bought their SA smoothing cleanser which has done wonders to my skin. Honestly helped with the acne and little pesky bumps, leaving my skin lot smoother! Would deffo recommend.

CeraVe is superior for dead skin.

Cerave has been highly recommended to me by multiple doctors to address the dry skin I have in the severely cold winter when I was in NYC.

I kept using it until I got a little better. Then about a week later I found a different brand that offered maximum hydration which I thought may be better than CeraVe, after a few days of using the other lotion, issues came back again. I switch to CeraVe and about 3 days later I was feeling great.
I have met 3 people over the course of time who stated that CeraVe really was the only one worked for them.
