I think this cream complements the cleanser beautifully. It’s great to know I’m not using a moisturiser that is going to block my pores but rather continue to exfoliate without drying my skin and leaving my KP almost all gone. I did find the cream quite thick and it didn’t absorb very easily, I had to run it in for a long time and it didn’t spread far so I was using a lot of product, however it is a rather reasonable price and quite a large size so worth the money to get the amazing results. I found it quite nice as a night cream on my face and under my eyes to hydrate my face at night when it needs it the most and continuing to decrease my acne at night as it absorbs into my skin. It did sting a little bit on my broken skin so just be careful if you have open pimples. I think it absorbed well with time and left my skin soft and hydrated with the SA and HA ingredients to help with my acne and KP which has left me so confident in my own skin.

Tips: Don’t apply on broken skin
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.
Tips: Use it post-shower so it can really sink into the skin.
This is amazing! It has really helped with my strawberry arms! I use this every second day on my arms and have seen some amazing results. My strawberry arms are now so smooth and no longer bumpy. The cream is also super hydrating and my skin is nourised as well as smooth which I wasn't expecting! I will definitely be getting this again!
Tips: Use this with the cerave SA cleanser in the shower for more severe/persistant strawberry arms
I picked this up in the vault, thanks BR! I have used a couple of Cerave products before and loved them so was excited to try this out.
It comes in a squeezy tube with a flip top lid. Quick and easy to dispense but when you start getting near the end I find it easier to just cut the tube open so you can use every little bit.
It is a thick, white consistency and has no fragrance at all. I started off using this on my face, it makes a nice base for makeup but I found that it really bought out my pimples! So I stopped using it on my face and targeted the tops of my arms amd legs that were a bit bumpy.
It absorbs well and doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky at all. I noticed after about a week of using on my arms and legs that they were super smooth and all the little bumps had gone away! Awesome!
So I totally recommend this for anyone with bumpy skin! Really happy with the results and how fast it works. I also like using it on my feet to keep them nice and soft.
I liked this product as it was surprisingly dense/thick in texture while also being light to apply. Fragrance free is a bonus and my skin feels like there is a protective layer added from the cream and isn't oily. There is a tingling reaction on my skin, in a good way. particularly around the T-zone (cheek/ nose). After a week I don't see a visible difference in appearance yet, but skin feels great after using the product. Does what the packaging says which is softens and smooths rough skin. Will definitely try this when I have an eczema flare up.
Used in conjunction with the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser, so difficult to say whether this product alone was effective, or the combination of the Cleanser and Cream.
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.
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
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.
Used this along with the smoothing body cleanser. Used just under a week, twice a day, mainly on arms and legs.
First up this is fragrance free but smells like a Bloody Mary. No biggie as the last lotion I tried for my KP smelt like sulphur (Amlactin lotion) so this is 1000 better. Great packaging, in a tube so great for travelling too.
Consistency is like a thicker cream but glides on the skin. Absorbs pretty quickly so you’re not left feeling greasy. Skin felt really soft all day. Noticeable improvement in my arms, texture is no longer bumpy and itchy. about a 70% Improvement in the redness, dots on my arms.
I highly recommend using this along with the smoothing body cleanser. I think used together will make a real difference. This is not an overnight cure so you need to keep using to manage and improve the skin.
Definitely worth a try and I’m confident enough to say that’s this duo is one of the better options for KP. unfortunately CeraVe is not a cruelty free brand - I wish they’d work to changing this.
Tips: Use with the smoothing body cleanser.
This is a beautiful cream with a thick matte texture that spreads really well - it says no fragrance but it kind of does have a bit of a off scent. It has great ingredients like niacinamide and shea butter. My skin felt very smooth after application. I feel like its helping with the bumps on my body slightly, more making my skin soft feeling. I will say it absorbs super fast! You would need atleast 4 weeks of daily usage to see good results.
