I love the SA cleanser and love this moisturiser just as much. I have oily congested skin and this moisturiser is so hydrating and thick but not heavy, the salicylic acid in it exfoliates your dead dry skin away and clears congestion. So it’s an amazing product. It is abit of a different texture, more on the dry side and it does dry on the skin very quickly.

Perfect mix of hydration and exfoliating
Great product - I brought this for hydration and exfoliation - it’s thick, hydrating and makes my skin look great. Gets rid of super dry looking skin and helps with KP. I would happily repurchase. I think I’ll try the cleanser next for my body.

CeraVe SA smoothing cream
I have been using this moisturiser along with the CeraVe SA smoothing cleanser for the last week. I have been such an improvement in my skin, my breakouts are almost gone, my skin feels fresh, hydrated and is starting to glow again.
This product is thick but not greasy and absorbs into the skin quickly. Makeup goes on really nicely over the top.
Tips: The design of the tube means when you are coming to the end of the product you can cut the tube in half, there is still a weeks + product left inside to use!

Effective smoothing but not an amazing moisturiser
This product is effective at making skin feel softer and appear more smooth, but I didn't find it very moisturising and it was challenging to incorporate it into my skincare routine. The positives: From the first use there was a noticeable difference in the smoothness of my skin. I experienced a bit of stinging and redness but I sometimes get that with SA so I wasn't too concerned. The redness subsided quickly and then my skin looked great. The negatives: It has a thick texture - almost like a smooth toothpaste kind of feel - which feels occlusive on the skin, but it doesn't leave my skin feeling hydrated. To counteract this I tried adding more moisturiser over the top which worked a little bit, but obviously it can't get through the cream properly to hydrate my skin. I didn't try applying moisturiser underneath this product because I wanted to make sure there weren't any barriers between the smoothing cream and my skin, but that might be an option I try in the future. The other negative is that it smelt like zinc sunscreen which was a bit off-putting. Overall I think this is an effective product, but it isn't as hydrating as I would like. I think it would be good for use as an exfoliating cream on the body as well.

Not a fan
I got this cream for my upper arms specifically after I did a search on what would help for my bumpy upper arms. I am struggling with keratosis pilaris (and have been for years) and this product was recommended to help with my red, bumpy arms. Sadly, it did not do anything for the bumps - or for the redness. It did not smooth anything out as far as I am concerned. It did however make my skin feel soft and cared for - it’s a non-greasy formula but effective in moisturising your skin and has a fresh smell to it.

Amazing
Love how this cream feels on your face. I use this everyday after I’ve used my Cerave SA smoothing cleanser and since I’ve started my skin is looking brighter, healthier and not so dry like it usually is! The texture of this cream is a bit thick which is why it feels so good to apply and a little goes a long way!

Cerave smoothing cream
Skin doesn’t feel oily and you only need a little bit to cover face. It doesn’t feel heavy on my skin which is good for me, Would recommend

Love It !
I have been using this on my arms as I am always scratching my skin when gardening and particularly the skin on my right arm gets bumpy and itchy. I am noticing a big difference the longer I use this cream and the roughness has improved a lot. The Doctor had prescribed a cream but it did nothing to help but CeraVe is certainly making a difference.It is a nice thick cream with no noticeable scent and rubs in really well..This will be one product I replace as it works so well.
Tips: I use an defoliator in the shower and apply CeraV afterwards

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!
