CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream

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!

Coming out of the winter months I've started thinking about moisturising so I don't step out with scaly looking limbs in Spring, so I was happy to receive the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream to review.

In a nutshell, it's an opaque, white, thick cream that comes in an easy to use squeeze tube. The scent is pretty much non-existent.

I initially tried this on my face but found it too thick and gluggy feeling, so decided to use it on my body post-shower.

While initially a little sticky on the skin, it sank in quickly and did a great job moisturising. I can't say that I've noticed any obvious smoothing of my lumps and bumps, but my skin became much more hydrated much more quickly when compared to other moisturisers I use, and for that I would reach for this again.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this.

I picked this up in the vault, thanks BR! I have used a couple of Cerave products before and loved them so was excited to try this out.

It comes in a squeezy tube with a flip top lid. Quick and easy to dispense but when you start getting near the end I find it easier to just cut the tube open so you can use every little bit.

It is a thick, white consistency and has no fragrance at all. I started off using this on my face, it makes a nice base for makeup but I found that it really bought out my pimples! So I stopped using it on my face and targeted the tops of my arms amd legs that were a bit bumpy.

It absorbs well and doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky at all.  I noticed after about a week of using on my arms and legs that they were super smooth and all the little bumps had gone away! Awesome!

So I totally recommend this for anyone with bumpy skin! Really happy with the results and how fast it works. I also like using it on my feet to keep them nice and soft.

This was fine on application, but it left the most horrible oily residue on my skin and I could still feel it 24 hours later. Didn't notice any difference to my skin, just felt greasy. Wouldn't use again.

I have seen this in stores and really wanted to try on my super dry rough skin, so I was super happy to be chosen to try. Comes in a very generous sized tube, that's easy to use. I noticed the texture to be very creamy and rich which is fast absorbing with a smooth exfoliating feel. I used it on my face, arms and legs that were all extremely dry, especially my hands. I also suffer from eczema on my hands and I found this product helped protect my skin and lock in moisture, while removing rough spots. It smoothed my bumpy skin around the side of my face and improved the appearance of my skins texture. I will definitely be buying this product in the future and love the fact it is paraben free, sulphate free, alcohol free and free from artificial fragrance.

This was a bit of a hit and a miss for our family. First up - it is fragrance-free (yay) and suitable for two of our family members with dry, red, rough and bumpy skin; one of of us has eczema and sensitive skin, and one with keratosis pilaris. For me (eczema/sensitive) I was not a fan. The cream was so thick and rich and really didn't absorb at all. I applied it to my eczema spots on my legs before bedtime first and awoke thinking my legs had been oiled. Jumping in the shower I could feel a film of it all over me. The next time I used half as much and still encountered the same problem. I switched to using it on rough patches (elbows, knees etc) and had a much better go of it, but I was hoping for a cream that would work in tandem with the wash to really target my eczema. However, for our keratosis pilaris sufferer, she loved it. It absorbed well into her skin and, done in tandem with the wash, we noticed an improvement in the appearance and colour of her skin (goodbye inflamed red arms). This is definitely a product that you'll have to try and see if it works for you - it was mixed success for us!

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.

Okay, so I wanted this originally to help reduce the chicken-skin type bumps I have on the back of my legs. While I can’t say whether or not it will reduce that in time, this is still hands down the best moisturiser I have found. I have very very dry skin on my whole body, and I’m also a regular fake tanner, and usually my tan will look nice for maybe 3-4 days before it cracks like lizard skin because of my dryness. I’ve been lathering my whole body in this moisturiser after showering and my tan is still looking fresh well over a week later!! It’s totally unscented which is fine by me, and unlike other moisturisers where I could use a whole bottle and still be dry an hour later, this stuff seriously locks in the moisture and even the next day before I shower I can feel the hydration in my skin WITHOUT that awful greasy layer some moisturisers give. I’ve had none of my usual dry itchiness, my skin is smooth and my tan looks so fresh. My one and only thing i would change is I would love if it came in a pump bottle like the cleanser, rather than a squeeze tube, but that’s just me being picky. I will 100% be repurchasing this!
