This product does exactly what it says it does and is exactly as described. I have previously tried and used this lotion on my toddler's (very) dry and eczema-prone skin interchangeably with their cream (which is more richer and thicker) to see if it would provide long-term relief, I moisterise her twice daily in the morning and night after a bath and feel that if you were to use this lotion on very dry skin, then you would need to be applying it more than twice daily or would need something stronger.
I think it is great for daily use as it is lightweight and quickly absorbed (if you don't use a lot, maybe just a pump or two). I do like the pump packaging and quick and easy to dispense, especially if the product is used on a toddler or younger child! Also excellent that it is able to be used on both face and body so don't need to get another product for the face! :)
I've been using the CeraVe Moisturising Lotion morning and night for a week on my body and have experienced some good results. The lotion is light and non-greasy with little to no fragrance and it absorbs into the skin quickly and effortlessly, leaving it smooth - my skin can be sensitive to creams with a lot of fragrance (particularly after shaving!), so the fragrance free formula is perfect and I had no stinging at all. I've had some dry patches on my forearms and these have now cleared after daily use. Equally, my hands have been very dry from sanitiser and this lotion seems to have helped a lot. The pump bottle means you can quickly get the lotion out and apply it where needed, which is perfect when you're in a rush in the mornings. I definitely think this lotion has helped to moisturise my skin, whether it has helped to restore the protective skin barrier, I'm not too sure. While it's not the best moisturiser I've ever used, it certainly has made a difference.
Tips: I used in the mornings straight after a shower to lock in moisture and leave my skin feeling soft
