CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream

I've been using this in conjuction with the Smoothing Cleanser, and it's made such a difference with the KP I have on my upper arms and thighs. I definitely recommend it!

I absolutely love this cream so much! It has helped with my ugly cracked heals, which now feel so soft, I was so sceptic at first, but Wow! I have repurchased this cream as well as the cleanser again, I can not fault this product! An absolute winner x

The packaging has a functional aesthetic in clean white and blue, an easy-to-use squeeze tube for precise dosage, and a very well-sealing, click-shut lid. Brill.

The cream is super thick, but - surprisingly - not greasy or fatty AT ALL. It blends in beautifully, leaving a soft, cushiony sort of feel to the skin – not slicky or sticky, just comforting. And at the end of the day, my skin still feels moisturised. It’s fragrance-free too, which I'm fine with.

It’s for both face and body, but as my face can be sensitive, I focused on my legs, which have mild eczema that can become scaly and dry and horribly itchy, especially throughout winter. This cream soothed and softened and moisturised them so well that I started trying it on other body parts - and then on some small flaky dry patches on my face. Miraculously, the rough elbows and knees, dry hands and, yes, even the dry patches around my nose and mouth... all gone. This SA cream didn’t just soothe and moisturise my skin; it seems to have healed it.

This is very economical; it's a big tube, and a little goes a very, very long way. If you have dry, sensitive skin, I’d highly recommend trying it. I've spent years plastering on thick, oily cold creams prescribed by my dermatologist to combat eczema and dry, itching skin. Those creams were really unpleasant to use, and didn't soothe and heal like this CeraVe cream does. I'm so grateful I got to try this! I'll be buying more when the current tube runs out.

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 use this on my body- arms, legs, tummy and even my booty. It leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, so definitely does what I expected it to do. I use it daily after showering, and if I'm going to be shaving my legs that night I'll also put some on when I get home from work. I've noticed that doing this helps give a closer shave and reduces irritation from shaving, so that's been great.

The only issue I have with this product is that it has a strange smell to it. I can't even describe it or put my finger on it really, but my husband has mentioned it too. To combat this at night I use a lavender linen spray on the bedding each night so as to not have it distract us from relaxing and being able to fall asleep.

I've not used it on my face though as I have other products for that. Despite the unusual smell, I have repurchased it, and will continue to do so until I find one that does the same thing, but without the smell.

Paired with the cleanser, this product works a charm! It’s good for sensitive skin, and definitely leaves the skin feeling smooth and bump-free. You may feel a tingling, but I personally believe that means the product is working. My dry, bumpy, textured skin is left feeling soft, clear, and smooth as a baby’s bottom. Not only that, but it’s HYDRATED. An amazing feat, considering how dry my skin is.

I cannot wax lyrical enough about the CeraVe Smoothing Cream! I'm so grateful to Beauty Review for the amazing opportunity to trial this product. Having Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms for years and not finding a decent product that actually worked was very disappointing, so I resigned myself to the possibility of always having to cover my arms. CeraVe has come to my rescue and given me back the confidence to wear singlets again, which are very much needed in the coming Summer heat. This cream has smoothed out the vast majority of my bumps, and also given my skin a much needed dose of hydration, which lasts for days. There is no unpleasant scent, and the consistency of the cream is like an ointment which is just perfect for the task. It sinks in very quickly without leaving a greasy residue on the hands, and I love how silky soft and smooth my skin feels afterwards. This cream is definitely on my to buy list once I run out, I absolutely love it!
