This is a less oily lotion but it has sunscreen. It burns under eyes. Sunscreen needs to be applied every two hours so that benefit is useless after a while. It is less oily than the other lotions and goes on well under make up. It dries fast and is soothing other than under the eyes. It is worth the price for a lotion, but you don't need this if you have their regular lotion. The pm lotion should not be worn during the day though, so if you use that you need a separate lotion for day time.
Let me start off by saying I used a Clinique face lotion prior to switching to this product. I switched purely do to cost. After some research I switched to this brand for the number one fact that it contained 30 SPF and was certified by the Skin Cancer Foundation. I love the way the product wears all day and that it comes in oil free. If I could change one thing it would be I wish a gel based option was available. Having very oily skin I've noticed gel lotions seem to be absorbed better. Needless to say I love that this product has coupons available and can be found most anywhere including Ulta! So glad I switched.
Purchased at: Albertsons
I bought this because I’ve been using acne medication that dried my skin out and I needed some extra moisture. The consistency is rather this but that’s what happens when sunscreen is combined. Luckily it has been a godsend for my skin. It’s helping clear it up by not clogging my pores and reducing the redness. Very little product is needed which is always a plus. I’d probably buy it again until I found something I liked better.
This makes my skin feel soft and luxurious. It's not sticky and it soaks in well. I like the packaging and I think it's a fair price for how well it works. It doesn't really have a smell and it's not irratating to my face at all. I would buy again and recommend to others.
The best facial lotion I have ever tried. It works very well and is an amazing deal. I use this every day and it seems to be very effective and clears up my skin. It does not sit thick on my skin which I love and the SPF is amazing on it. I highly recommend this product.
Tried this moisturizer because I had $5 off and later found out that it was highly raved about by dermatologists. It's special because it advertises it's ingredients which have ceramides that help keep the hydrating of skin intact. In addition, its SPF 30, which I like because it protects my skin from UV exposures. It not too thick and is fragrance-free which I appreciate.
I like CeraVe! Straight up! It's a good routine in the mornings to have. It's right in there with the post-shower process along with brushing my teeth. CeraVe makes my face feel fresh, not overloaded with that "heavy product" feel. It's light, moisturizing and protects my skin. I apply it before using any concealer or other makeup products.
The Cerave AM and PM moisturizers will always be staples in my skincare routine. I love that the AM has the right amount of SPF to protect me throughout the day without making my skin look chalky. It moisturizes perfectly, never leaving me too oily or dry. My dermatologist recommended the AM and PM products years ago and I have been using them ever since.
This sunscreen/moisturizer is decent. It provides protection from the UV rays but isn't as great with moisturizing. I usually like to mix this product with a little bit of Cerave SA to help add moisture to my face if I do decide to use this moisturizer. I have never had a problem with it causing breakouts to me face. Love that its fragrance free!
I love this moisturizer. I was breaking out really bad and my dermatologist suggested me this moisturizer to help with my dark spots and acne and also as a sunscreen. I tried this product and it suits my skin really well. Great for people with oily skin as it also hydrates your skin and protects it from the sun and also it’s not oil based.
Q & A
I have the Cerave AM Face moisturizer and have not purchased the PM. Is it worth it to purchase the PM moisturizer as well?

I use both and I think it is definitely worth it. I like that at night I am using the PM which is more moisturizing, it is amazing how your skin feels after washing your face and applying it, the feel and consistency of the am and pm lotions is very different and I feel like using both. Also, the pm lotion does not have the SPF why put more chemicals on your skin than you need to. I would highly recommend trying the pm and at such a reasonable cost point what do you have to loose but great feeling skin.
Does this product leave an oily/greasy or a heavy feel on your skin after application? I am
looking for something light weight, that feels like I'm not wearing a moisturizer at all.

I use this product. It does not leave your skin oily or greasy feeling at all. It also doesn't leave your face all shiny like some moisturizers do. It's actually a very light feeling moisturizer, I only use about 2 pumps and it's enough for my face and neck, so it lasts a long time too. I really like it.
I have very sensitive skin and every soft facial moisturizer I've tried breaks me out. Does anyone know if this one causes breakouts?

I wrote the question but since I I tried this product I figured I'd answer my own question...It caused my face to break out AND gave it a red rash. I'm really sad since I had such high hopes!
I recently switched over to this product. I have very sensitive skin and have noticed more breakouts then usual, does this cause anyone else to breakout?

My dermatologist also suggested the full CeraVe line to help fight breakouts. I was also prescribed a cream that I was supposed to use at the same time, and that cream made my skin worse at first (then it got better) Are you using anything else with this cream? Or it maybe hormonal changes, etc, etc
In any case, this one doesn't contain any of the typical irritants that are in most other lotions..
Is this moisturizer good for everyday use on acne prone skin?

it doesn't seem to break me out more, but I do feel it clogging my pores after a week if I don't clean my face extremely well
