CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream

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.

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!

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.

I quite liked this one - I used it all over! I’m not sure about the exfoliating part but I definitely found it to be a nice light cream that left my skin feeling moisturized!

As with the matching cleanser, I can't fault this.

It's an unscented, smooth cream, that absorbs easily and isn't greasy after use. It goes really far. We received small tubes, but I've been slathering it all over and it's lasting well.

I was so pleasantly surprised I could use the same cream on my face as I do my body.

My skin texture has improved a lot, much smooth, less bumpy and no dry patches. It didnt mess with the balance I'd achieved with the cleanser either...oil be gone!

LOVE 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

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!

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.

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'm in love with this. Just as I am with the Smoothing Cleanser. I think in combination, these are a dream. My skin responds well to salicylic acid and I'm glad it's in this. It's been helping reduce my acne and KP. My skin is significantly smoother and clearer. This cream has such a lovely consistency. It is hydrating without being heavy and it dries with an almost blurring effect on the face. I haven't worn full makeup over this yet, so I'm not sure how it wears, but I have high hopes with the matte and blurring finish of the cream. I'm excited to keep using these products.
