Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with various products, reporting issues such as products not absorbing well, leaving white stains, or causing skin irritation like burning, stinging, itching, and redness. Some customers also found certain products ineffective for their specific skin concerns, like eczema or dry skin, and noted that some items had a chemical smell or a poor texture.

A few other people also felt that certain products made their skin soft and helped with scars, with some even stating that these products were more effective than prescribed creams.

I love CeraVe's moisturizers and cleansers. I live in a desert climate, and these have saved my skin. However, their sunscreens are absolutely terrible. Thick, don't absorb well, leave white stains on... See more

Best moisturiser I have ever used for my acne prone, combination skin. The only problem is that it's not cruelty free so I no longer use it but if you don't mind that then I really reccomend

NOT CRUELTY FREE

I can not believe that at this age and time, testing on animals is still legal. This brand is not cruelty free, and this is the main reason people should stop buying their products.. Cerave mother company is L'Oréal and they also not cruelty free. Unbelievable! DO NOT BUY!!!

I love the Hydrating Facial Cleanser…

I love the Hydrating Facial Cleanser that they have. It's easy to get in any major store, and their prices are accessible. I have tried a lot of their products before, but if I have to recommend one, it's the cleanser.

Best skin care line!

I have been searching for a product to smooth and clear my skin. I am 56 years old and I am so in love with Cerave products. The facial toner is my favorite. Believe me I've tried everything. I've finally found my everyday skin care line. I will be using these products indefinitely.

Skin dry and rough after using

I've been using cereve products for a couple of weeks. I got them on Black Friday at Boots after reading the rave reviews on their website. My skin is now very dry and feels rough. I will not buy again. An expensive mistake even with the discount.

‼️DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT‼️

‼️DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT‼️
It took me a YEAR to finally get my skin and clear and where it needs to be to this day. However, Curology was what I was using (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and it was getting a little too pricey and my face was clear again. I then decided to try a new skin care routine that was more in my budget. When I first CeraVe a few years ago, it worked how it was supposed to, it was wonderful. However, I bought the foaming cleanser and moisturizer and just within TWO DAYS the underneath of my eyes were red, irritated. itchy and I had a really bad reaction. I am now using hydrocortizone cream and putting it on the areas where it reacted really bad. Thankfully, I was able to get a full refund. However, I am very upset I am now back at square one with my clear skin.

Blemish and Acne Spot cream. £8 worst spent

I have never suffered from problemic acnes . but in the past year i have been breaking out . Creams such as Duac and Acnecide failed to get rid of them like they use to, so after hearing the hype of Cerave i decided to try the Blemish and Acne spot cream.
It did nothing for my acne- other than left it with a black scar. £8 worst spent money

Awful allergic reaction

I have used the foaming cleanser for 2 days and have had an extreme allergic reaction. Skin is red, puffy and sore and had to take antihistamines as so itchy. The skin around my eyes is on fire. Please avoid, this stuff is not safe. I am really sad I wasted my money and now have to wait for my skin to calm down.

Bad reaction

I purchased a CeraVe body wash, formulated for sensitive skin. I do have eczema. Within a few days of using this product, my skin was on fire, from my neck, chest, and arms. I broke out in spots, and rashes. My eczema flared out of control. I took pics for my GP. During the night when I became too hot, my skin was burning. It has taken over a week to almost settle down. I feel these products are misleading. Never again.

I got CeraVe thinking it would be great because everyone on tiktok was using it, the first time I put it on my face it was okay, didn’t do anything but only made it sticky. Second time I put it on, it made me breakout!! it is absolutely 100% a waste of money.

Cerave Blemish control breakout

After I saw Cerave Blemish control review from ig, I decided to look at boots website to see other review. And as the review is so good I went to boots to get it straightaway. Only after to washes of Cerave blemish control cleanser gel I got so much breakout. OMG it did opposite of what it say. Anyway I though it’s purging period so I still continue for week. Then it’s too much to handle. I stoped and that’s it. My face is getting better. I went to write review in boots. They don’t accept my review. Ok that’s how I saw only good reviews in beginning.

Unfortunately cerave did not work for…

Unfortunately cerave did not work for me, I tried the hydrating face wash, the salicylic acid face wash, the wash that helps for makeup removal, the cream in a tub, and the lotion in a pump, and all versions caused breakouts on my face. I was so sad because I wanted it to work and even tried different products within the brand but unfortunately, it caused quite a bit of disturbance To my skin that looked like Rosacea on my cheeks. I used it for 6 months and in a month of stopping my inflammation and redness has reduced as well as the pimples
