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.
This was my everyday go to for a long time and so I still love this product, but as I started to use more foundations in my daily routine, this wasn't cutting it in the moisturizing category. My skin I very very dry and I always found dry patches when using this with foundation. Maybe it will be better during the summer, but in the winter, I struggle with this!
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 like the price of this and that you are able to find it at basically any drug store/Walmart, places like that. I have been using this for awhile, I like the fact there is SPF in this lotion. It can sometimes be a bit thick for my liking and I wish there was AM/PM mixed in one. But overall great product, I'll for sure buy this one again!
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.
The CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with Sunscreen is something I use every morning, in addition to the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. I find the consistency to be thicker than the PM lotion because it has sunscreen in it. After it soaks into my skin it doesn’t feel as thick though. I use this before applying makeup as my moisturizer as well. I appreciate the spf aspect of the lotion but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t added. Ohhh! With this product and the PM lotion, I love the fact it has salicylic acid in it. I just stopped using a foundation with salicylic acid in it, so it’s nice that my face is still fighting acne through my makeup with this moisturizer. This moisturizer is $14 for 3oz, which is more expensive compared to the PM moisturizer. I really like it and would recommend to anyone willing to try something new.
Purchased at: Walgreens
I do not like the AM lotion because it has sunscreen in it. It is not nearly as moisturizing and really drys out my face. I keep my moisturizer and sunscreen separate. I actually used this product a few times and returned it because I didn’t like it that much. The PM is my staple. Same product, minus the sunscreen.
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..
I love to wear makeup, but I also need a good moisturizing lotion. But what I do not want is to look like I have a greasy face. Do think this is a good one to wear under my makeup?

I wear this product under my makeup daily. I put it on immediately after washing my face, and I let it absorb for 10 or so minutes before makeup application. I have normal skin, and it never seems too oily.
