CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream

I love this product and will definitely purchase more of this and of the Cerave range. The Cerave SA smoothing cream is somehow rich feeling, but light when applied, and absorbs easily for a silky feel. It goes well after using the Cerave smoothing cleanser. I instantly noticed an improvement in the small bumps and dry patches on my face, and I have also used it on my hands and it quickly healed up a couple of small dry, eczema patches. My teenage daughter also tried it and loves it and wants to try the rest of the Cerave range. She has eczema also on her face and hands and found an improvement in that and her skins overall texture, and even for pimples, which I found too. It contains urea which makes skin soft, moist and gives a good barrier, salicylic acid to smooth, 3 ceramides, niacinamide, and shea butter which is always lovely and softening for the skin. It is fragrance free and quite gentle. It smells similarly to the cleanser with not much smell. Sort of like most fragrance free hand creams, and the urea smell is not overpowering or offensive. It does contain alcohol, as many products do, and I’m not sure if it was this or another ingredient, but sometimes on very dry areas or eczema that was broken skin it did sting a bit, but passed quickly and was not bad, and this improved with use. It’s especially good for this time of year between the cold air and air-conditioning or fireplaces, as my skin can get very dry and lose its natural barrier quickly, but this has definitely improved my skin’s barrier and it has been less dry. The tube is large with 170g, a good size for a face cream. However, the lid on ours was very hard to open. It’s just a flip top but it was stiff. Just a minor issue that may have just been our tube. I guess it’s good that it’s secure! Overall it’s a good product and very reasonably priced. It does what it says it does and we will continue to use Cerave SA smoothing cream.

I'm loving my discovery of CeraVe - thanks Beauty Review!

I've been using this with the matching cleanser, on my face and body, for about 2 weeks now. I'm loving the gentle, fragrance-free formula and the soothing feel of the cream on my sore skin.

I have eczema on my face and body and it can be really sore especially in winter. I've never found a cream I could use on my face and body, usually body creams are too heavy.

This cream does seem to have a smoothing effect, my skin feels softer and more even.

I will definitely buy this again!

After using the cleanser in this line you will be wanting to use the smoothing cream because the difference to your skin when combining the two will be amazing.The packaging while it is not what I would call aesthetically pleasing it is however functional and simple to use with a fip top lid giving a drip free application.The cream has no fragrance is white in colour and is a very thick consistency but super easy to rub into your skin with no greasy or sticky after feel and quickly absorbs.I wasn't too sure about applying this to my face but after reading the instructions and seeing the words avoid the eyes I figured it must be ok so I went ahead and used a couple of small squirts from the tube gently rubbing into my face then I applied enough to cover my hands, arms and legs which is where I am most prone to dryness and a few of those niggly little red bumps.I found I did not need to use a lot of the product to make a difference to my skin so a little goes a long way and the beauty of this amazing product is it continues to work so you don't need to keep applying throughout the day.I noticed within a few short minutes how soft and smooth my skin felt without any greasy feeling and no dryness in sight hallelujah!!! As a regimen the combination of the smoothing cleanser and the cream is a must especially if you are prone to dry easily irritated skin because not only will they leave your skin cleansed and moisturised but they exfoliate too giving you lovely smooth hydrated skin that looks healthy.Price wise for this size tube it is not too badly priced considering you don't need to use a great deal of the product and you don't need to keep applying it all day so I would say it's pretty good value.In all honesty this product has been a game changer for me struggling with dry scaly skin for many years but not anymore so thank you BR team for introducing me to such an amazing product I will definitely be continuing with this range It's a massive thumbs up from me!

This is a really, really good moisturiser!

I've been using it primarily on my body as it is quite thick and rich. Although in saying that, I used this on a persistent dry patch on my cheeks and it cleared it within 2 uses!

I like the packaging, its functional with clear information.

This cream is great at smoothing and hydrating rough areas like knees, elbows and feet. I've been using this with the matching cleanser to great success at reducing KP on the backs of my arms.

I will be repurchasing this in a bigger pack size!

Love that this is a desant size moisturizer. I used it on both my face and body and found it to worked well to smooth and moisturize rough dry irritated areas such knees and elbows. The consistancy of the product I found to be quite a firm cream and on application felt smooth and soothing. I have quite bad eczema on my arms and lathering this moisturizer on after showering with the cleanser has really helped illiminate roughness and smooth the feel of my skin. Would buy this in the future.

I liked this product as it was surprisingly dense/thick in texture while also being light to apply. Fragrance free is a bonus and my skin feels like there is a protective layer added from the cream and isn't oily. There is a tingling reaction on my skin, in a good way. particularly around the T-zone (cheek/ nose). After a week I don't see a visible difference in appearance yet, but skin feels great after using the product. Does what the packaging says which is softens and smooths rough skin. Will definitely try this when I have an eczema flare up.

Used in conjunction with the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser, so difficult to say whether this product alone was effective, or the combination of the Cleanser and Cream.

I am a big believer in trying new products. This one worked for me so well. In conjunction with the cleanser I noticed a MASSIVE difference to my red bumpy arms. For years I have been told to exfoliate properly but you do the whole 'towel' trick and that never works. I noticed that the bumps on my arms lessened and they were so much smoother. My partner even noticed and I'm so stoked. It has been such an insecurity of mine these bumps and literally nothing has helped before. This product is a lifesaver. I love the bottle as it comes straight out already being upside down. Great colours to have in the bathroom nice and subtle design. The cream itself is really thick and I found absorbs ok. I popped it on at night before bed so that it could have full effect. I didn't notice any stinging or any uncomfortable feeling when using it which I was worried about. Two weeks of using this and great results. I absolutely LOVE this product and will be buying both of these again.
