Wow

This has made my skin smooth and even toned, I suffer from super dry knees, nothinnngg worrkkks. In walks Cerave!! What is this magic!! I also suffer from Keratosis pilaris on my arms and when I pair this with the cleanser from the same range it literally zapped them away within a week. Why is this product more widely shared, I have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of those bumps!! From $$$$ to $ !! I stumbled across a derm blog and this popped up, so so so glad I gave it a try! Affordable, effective, why wouldn’t you?

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

Great value hard working product

Grabbed from the Beauty Vault, I’ve been using the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream twice a day after cleansing with the CeraVe skin Smoothing Cleanser. It’s very thick, smooths on easily and sits nicely over various serums or under makeup.

The CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream comes in a decent sized tube with a strong cap, for a reasonable price. As well as moisturising dry skin, it exfoliates. softens and smoothes rough skin, leaving my face super soft.

I was concerned that using such a heavy product would cause me to break out but it hasn’t - my skin is looking gorgeous! I just wish it contained SPF as I do need to consider the time of day, season and day ahead as to whether a product containing SPF is the more suitable choice.

I used the Dermalogica skin smoothing cream for several years until I was in a position where I just couldn’t justify paying it’s price and I actually like this product better!

Tips: Use in tandem with the CeraVe Skin Smoothing cleanser.

CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream

I love this stuff! I'm only my second tube now and have been using consistently for the past month or so.

I originally purchased this to help with Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms and I'm also prone to 'Bimples' so I've been using it on my butt and thighs as well.

There's a marked difference in the places I've been using it and my skin just feels nicer. I'm sure the moisturing is helping as well, but having a leave on product is doing the world of good.

It's great that it doesn't seem to aggravate my already aggravated skin. No scrubbing and exfoliating needed, although I'm sure that helps.

The product is quite thick and relatively heavy. I personally don't think I would use it on my face, it feels more of a body product. It rubs in really well and you can definitely tell when it's been used because my skin feels smoother.

All in all I'm a fan and highly recommend.

Skin fixer

I’ve had some fine bumps for a while that haven’t responded to anything except this! I was getting so fed up with all the products I went through before I finally found this. It lasts a decent amount of time too

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.

Still trialling, fingers crossed, hopeful!

I suffer from bad eczema. Since covid with all the hand washing and sanitizer I have got dermatitis on my hands that I haven't been able to get rid of for 2years now. I have literally tried every cream and steroid cream you can imagine.

I was impressed with this hand cream. I have it next to the sink so after I wash my hands I use it as this is when my hands are at the worst.

I used it a lot the 1st few days and I was home more and I did notice the dry flakey skin improved. They did feel more hydrated. They were also less 'angry' looking. Some parts disappeared all together! Win!

However when I went back to work and was only using this morning and night I wasn't doing as well. I think going forward I need to have it with my during the day also.

I tried this cream on my legs and arms also. I would recommend doing this at night. This is because it creates a barrier layer on the skin. It makes it extremely difficult to pull up gym tights haha! It also transfers white marks onto black clothing.I changed to using this at night and it worked well.

Overall made my skin feel smoother. I am definitely keen to keep using this product as early signs are positive.

Tips: Use at night if using on body.

Smooth skin

I really liked this product, it had a great thick texture and no scents/purfumes etc. I used it on my neck + chest, as well as arms and backs of thighs where I tend to get rough\ bumpy skin.

This cream definitely smoothed and soothed my skin and felt very nice to have on. It’s super thick but applies and soaks in well without leaving a cast. Because it is so thick, I didn’t feel comfortable using it on my face, and preferred to stick with body.

I had a look online and see the price seems very reasonable, the product goes far and I think the tube will last me a while.

The packaging is basic, not as ‘pretty’ as other brands but I feel it would appeal to broad range of ages. I would have liked this more in a pump bottle but assume it it probably to thick to pump out.

Overall, I saw and felt an improvement in the texture of my skin and I think with continued use it will be even better. I would recommend this to anyone struggling with dry and bumpy skin as it is a great price and worked for my skin, so can’t hurt to give it a go.

Tips: I think this is best applied after a shower when pores are open and skin is slightly damp - soaks in much better and skin stays feeling softer for longer.

Love this cream my skin feels so soft

This cream is a nice consistency, slightly thick but not so thick its hard to spread out. I apply this after I get out of the shower after cleansing with the SA smoothing cleanser and my skin feels so soft. No irritation so definately great for sensitive skin, also great for after shvaing no stinging but also I havent had a shaving rash since using it.

Tips: Use after the SA cleanser for extra smooth skin!!

This stuff really works.

I am a big believer in trying new products. This one worked for me so well. In conjunction with the cleanser I noticed a MASSIVE difference to my red bumpy arms. For years I have been told to exfoliate properly but you do the whole 'towel' trick and that never works. I noticed that the bumps on my arms lessened and they were so much smoother. My partner even noticed and I'm so stoked. It has been such an insecurity of mine these bumps and literally nothing has helped before. This product is a lifesaver. I love the bottle as it comes straight out already being upside down. Great colours to have in the bathroom nice and subtle design. The cream itself is really thick and I found absorbs ok. I popped it on at night before bed so that it could have full effect. I didn't notice any stinging or any uncomfortable feeling when using it which I was worried about. Two weeks of using this and great results. I absolutely LOVE this product and will be buying both of these again.

Tips: Pop on after a shower for full effect!
