CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream

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.

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!

After using the cleanser in this line you will be wanting to use the smoothing cream because the difference to your skin when combining the two will be amazing.The packaging while it is not what I would call aesthetically pleasing it is however functional and simple to use with a fip top lid giving a drip free application.The cream has no fragrance is white in colour and is a very thick consistency but super easy to rub into your skin with no greasy or sticky after feel and quickly absorbs.I wasn't too sure about applying this to my face but after reading the instructions and seeing the words avoid the eyes I figured it must be ok so I went ahead and used a couple of small squirts from the tube gently rubbing into my face then I applied enough to cover my hands, arms and legs which is where I am most prone to dryness and a few of those niggly little red bumps.I found I did not need to use a lot of the product to make a difference to my skin so a little goes a long way and the beauty of this amazing product is it continues to work so you don't need to keep applying throughout the day.I noticed within a few short minutes how soft and smooth my skin felt without any greasy feeling and no dryness in sight hallelujah!!! As a regimen the combination of the smoothing cleanser and the cream is a must especially if you are prone to dry easily irritated skin because not only will they leave your skin cleansed and moisturised but they exfoliate too giving you lovely smooth hydrated skin that looks healthy.Price wise for this size tube it is not too badly priced considering you don't need to use a great deal of the product and you don't need to keep applying it all day so I would say it's pretty good value.In all honesty this product has been a game changer for me struggling with dry scaly skin for many years but not anymore so thank you BR team for introducing me to such an amazing product I will definitely be continuing with this range It's a massive thumbs up from me!

I'm loving my discovery of CeraVe - thanks Beauty Review!

I've been using this with the matching cleanser, on my face and body, for about 2 weeks now. I'm loving the gentle, fragrance-free formula and the soothing feel of the cream on my sore skin.

I have eczema on my face and body and it can be really sore especially in winter. I've never found a cream I could use on my face and body, usually body creams are too heavy.

This cream does seem to have a smoothing effect, my skin feels softer and more even.

I will definitely buy this again!

I love this product and will definitely purchase more of this and of the Cerave range. The Cerave SA smoothing cream is somehow rich feeling, but light when applied, and absorbs easily for a silky feel. It goes well after using the Cerave smoothing cleanser. I instantly noticed an improvement in the small bumps and dry patches on my face, and I have also used it on my hands and it quickly healed up a couple of small dry, eczema patches. My teenage daughter also tried it and loves it and wants to try the rest of the Cerave range. She has eczema also on her face and hands and found an improvement in that and her skins overall texture, and even for pimples, which I found too. It contains urea which makes skin soft, moist and gives a good barrier, salicylic acid to smooth, 3 ceramides, niacinamide, and shea butter which is always lovely and softening for the skin. It is fragrance free and quite gentle. It smells similarly to the cleanser with not much smell. Sort of like most fragrance free hand creams, and the urea smell is not overpowering or offensive. It does contain alcohol, as many products do, and I’m not sure if it was this or another ingredient, but sometimes on very dry areas or eczema that was broken skin it did sting a bit, but passed quickly and was not bad, and this improved with use. It’s especially good for this time of year between the cold air and air-conditioning or fireplaces, as my skin can get very dry and lose its natural barrier quickly, but this has definitely improved my skin’s barrier and it has been less dry. The tube is large with 170g, a good size for a face cream. However, the lid on ours was very hard to open. It’s just a flip top but it was stiff. Just a minor issue that may have just been our tube. I guess it’s good that it’s secure! Overall it’s a good product and very reasonably priced. It does what it says it does and we will continue to use Cerave SA smoothing cream.

This moisturiser is the bees knees for my skin. I am using it after the matching body wash and having the most amazing results. I suffer from eczema, keratosis and when I’m not on my game I get psoriasis as well. Moisturisers can sting my skin and I find with my dry skin most that are effective are greasy and oily. Not this one though!! It’s lovely and thick and a little goes a long way. It’s in an easy to use squeeze bottle with the lid at the bottom to easily access that last remaining bit at the end of the bottle. It absorbs well and leaves no greasy or oily feeling and no scent to irritate you either. The best part about it is how plump and hydrated my skin feels even 24 hours after applying. I’m really amazed at how nice my skin is feeling. I actually took before and after photos of some dry psoriasis patches beginning to break out the day before I started and by day 3 they were practically gone with no use of steroid cream. So all my eczema/psoriasis babes out there it is sooooo worth trying. Definitely combine with the body wash. I’m so so happy with the results.

My eczema around my nose and jawline has gone and I love the feel of how smooth my skin is after applying this cream. It's a very thick cream and a little goes a long way, great to add to my beauty routine during winter. I also have seen less redness since using this cream and have been applying it to my shoulders and chest as I get body acne, no more roughness or bumps! Overall it's a great moisturiser hydrating and very effective for eczema spots.

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.
