Not sure I noticed much of a difference?

I have really dry sensitive skin, this didn’t really make my skin feel that hydrated. It could be that I wasn’t using enough maybe. I also broke out a bit just before using this so that probably didn’t help! It felt fine on my skin but just really not sure it helped with anything. Maybe this would be okay in summer but it’s not strong enough to combat winter dryness. The little pump bottle is easy to use though.

Serum/Cream

This comes in a pump bottle for ease of use. It's quite thick for a serum more of a cream consistency.

I initially found that it didn't hydrate my skin and for a serum should do just that. So I tried another way to apply. After pumping on my fingers I smeared it and ran under the tap and this worked so much better. My skin felt moisturized and at night I felt I didn't need to add anything else. I did need 3 pumps to cover my face, neck and decolletage. My skin is dry and mature. This is suitable for sensitive skin as it's gentle and fragrance free. For me a serum needs to be more liquid for my skin to absorb and reap the benefits. I will continue to use this but won't look at purchasing in the future. There is another hyaluronic acid serum that I trialled and had better results. Thank you BR for the opportunity to trial this.

Tips: Run your fingers under the tap with the serum and it applies so much better.

Smooth and hydrated

I was excited to try this hyaluronic acid serum as I have tried some in the past and loved the hydrated feeling it has provided. The product arrived at the perfect time as I have just returned from a long haul flight so my skin was feeling pretty dry. The packaging itself is nice with an easy to use pump to dispense the product. This is different to the dropper system that other hyaluronic serums have had. I was a bit surprised to see that the serum had more of a cream consistency compared to what I have been used to. Once applied to the face, the serum (which is unscented) felt quite greasy but after a couple of minutes it quickly absorbed and left my skin feeling hydrated, fresh and plump. This feeling stayed for most of the day and looked nice under make up. I'd like to try it for a bit longer to really be certain it's the best serum for me but all in all it's a great product which does what it says it does.

Tips: Apply to freshly cleansed skin and wait a few minutes before layering moisturiser etc to allow the serum to really soak in

Delivers hydration

This serum idoesn’t really have a serum-y feel. The consistency is more like a normal moisturiser. I like that there is no fragrance to this product. I have sensitive skin and this product was fine for me.

One pump of the serum was enough to cover my face so while the bottle looks small I think it would last for a while.

I like the packaging of this product - it’s super easy to get a pump of product and the serum isn’t exposed to air every time you open it like a jar of product would be.

I tried this product both under makeup during the day and at night time. It wore perfectly fine under makeup and did help to make my skin feel moisturised at night. I would agree that this product delivers long lasting hydration.

Overall, even though it largely did what it said it would, I’m just not sure this serum added that much to my skincare. It might be good to replace a night cream, but I’m not sure you need it with a night cream.

The reason I won’t be buying this again is because I’m not sure if they are truly cruelty free. While the Cerave website says they do not test on animals, Cerave is owned by the L’Oreal Group and my understanding is that they aren’t cruelty free.

Good day to day serum

I found the CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Serum super easy to use. One pump was enough to cover my face and I apply it morning and night. It is quite a light cream so I definitely need to apply a moisturiser over the top. I found it absorbs really fast so I didn’t need to wait more than 10 seconds before I could layer over moisturiser. The non-greasiness of the product meant makeup doesn’t flake either. I feel that it has kept my skin hydrated and plump and overall helped to reduce some fine lines on my forehead. It’s a good day to day serum, especially for the price.

Tips: Don’t forget your neck!

Lightweight and Hydrating

I'm always on the hunt for affordable, hydrating serums for by perpetually dehydrated skin. I jumped at the chance to trial this one!

First off, I'm a fan of the pump top. Often serums are more watery and come in dropper bottles which I just find cumbersome and messy. The pump top allows you to dispense just the right amount to apply to your face.

The serum it's self is lightweight, with a gel-cream texture. Gel texture is my favourite for moisturisers, so I appreciated this aspect. Upon application, the serum didn't leave me with a tight-skin feeling. It feels smooth and hydrated, with no residue.

You can wear it stand alone, or under other products. I find it sits nicely under a moisturiser and SPF.

This is a budget-friendly serum, and like other CeraVe products, I'd say it's simple yet effective.

I will be continuing to trial this product for a number of weeks to see if there are noticeable improvements to my skin.

Different but good

I typically use liquid serums in my routine, more often than a 'cream' based serum, so this definitely had a different finish when applied. The packaging allows for a set measure of the serum so you don't over do it. It applies like any moisturiser really, and absorbs easily.

It definitely left my skin feeling smooth and hydrated with each use. Not sure it felt like it lasted 24hrs as I often felt like my skin was a bit tight by the end of the day, but it is also winter, and the weather is tough on skin, this time of year. Overall, my skin has felt smoother and softer - and no breakouts from this product either. I do still prefer liquid serums more than cream as I feel instant hydration from them, but thats simply a preference, because this CeraVe serum definitely delivers on what it says This was the first time using CeraVe product, so would definitely be keen to look at others, now I've tried this serum.

Beautifully hydrating!

I was very excited to be picked as part of the trial team for the CeraVe Hyaluronic Acid Serum, this product has been on my wishlist for months!

The packaging is nice and simple, with a pump-style bottle, however, I feel this product will need to be cut open to get everything out of it.

My initial reaction to the serum was that it stayed in more of a solid cream form as opposed to other varieties which were more liquidy, for me this was great as I didn't have to rush to pat it into my skin, and there was also no scent which is great for sensitive skin types like myself.

On first use, my skin felt smoother and hydrated, I also found that my skin didn't dry out during the day in the cold winter air which was fantastic!

After a week of using this morning and night, I've found that particular dry spots on my face have made a slight improvement, however, I can't say how well it's working with my psoriasis until I've tested it for a bit longer.

I would say if you've been on the fence about trying this, it is definitely worth a go, I'll be continuing to use it!

Tips: One pump of serum morning and night works well for me!

The First Hyaluraonic Acid Serum I Like!

I thoroughly love using this product! I'm 40 so skincare needs to work! I have tried many HA serums and every single one dried and irritated my skin - until now. I was not overly optimistic going in. I had heard of CeraVe but not used any of their products before. Packaging is fine, pump bottle. Absolutely no fragrance and a kinda cream gel texture.

I used it in the morning after cleansing. My face definitely felt more hydrated throughout the day even in the winter heating. I have only been using it for almost 2 weeks so can only give you what I felt after immediate use, not long term.

Will absolutely be purchasing this again and looking into CeraVe's other products.

Tips: Apply to a damp face

Quality Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Although I’ve seen CeraVe products everywhere, I haven’t previously tried any of their products so I was very excited to try out the CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum. My skin has been feeling and looking very dull after being exposed to the current wintery weather conditions.

The directions advise that the serum can be used on its own or layered under a moisturiser. I tried it both ways. The first time I tried it, I used it on its own and found my skin felt very smooth and hydrated after applying it. There is not really much of a fragrance which is great for people that are not keen on too many fragranced skin care products.

The next time I tried it with my moisturiser layered over the top and I found that this worked even better as my skin felt hydrated for longer. I also noticed more of a change in my skin as I've used it continually for the past couple of weeks.

It has definitely brightened up my dull skin and it feels much softer and more hydrated. It has made a big difference when I’ve been outside in windy weather on playground duty, or watching my children play weekend sports for hours on end. The wind usually causes havoc with my skin but I feel the serum combined with my SPF moisturiser provided a really good barrier from the elements.

Everyone is finding the cost of living a struggle at the moment, but I think this is a really affordable option for a quality hyaluronic acid serum. I'm really keen to try out some more products made by CeraVe, perhaps their cleanser and moisturiser.

Tips: Layer it under your moisturiser for added hydration.
