Q: Has anyone had a reaction to this like a rash or burning? I tend to have very sensitive skin and seem to react to nearly every lotion I have tried :( Also, does it have a scent?

submitted by Dogfamily - 2 months ago
  • A: This lotion has caused a rash and burning on both my daughter and I now. She has somewhat sensitive skin and I wouldn’t consider myself to have sensitive skin but something about this lotion does not react well with us.

Q: Can this be used on your face?

submitted by Kait - 4 months ago
  • A: Don't use it if you have rosacea; I just tried it on my face and found that it burned my rosacea, although it's probably fine if you have normal skin!

    submitted byRinea - 2 months ago
  • A: Hello Kait! While our Intensive Moisturizing Lotion is primarily formulated for the body, it can generally be used on the face, especially for those with very dry skin. However, everyone's skin is different. If you have sensitive facial skin or specific skin concerns, we recommend trying a small amount on a small area first to see how your skin reacts. We also offer facial moisturizers specifically designed for different skin types and needs, like our CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM, which you might find a better fit for your face. You can explore our full range of facial moisturizers on our website.

Not for senstive skin

Stella ray - 1 day ago
I’m not usually a lotion/ cream wearer since most creams I find them to be heavy compounded but my hands were getting dry and I was looking something to help especially with sensitive skin . I’ve had this brand before with mixed feelings and did some searching online for lotion with this being top so I was willing to try it but once I started putting it on my hand ooouuufff instant regret. My hands were itching and burning like crazy and my hands felt tacky . After 10 mins the burning feeling stopped but my hand felt tacky still. I had to rewash my hands 😖😖😖😖 need less to say I’m returning this.

This product makes my skin feel like it’s on FIRE. Immediately after putting on my face, it makes my face feel like it is burning and stinging for a good couple minutes until dies down. I don’t know if it is an ingredient but it is nothing like I have experienced before.

Stinky lotion, an offense to the senses and fails to absorb well
1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 27 days ago
Hello bad TP! We're sorry to hear the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion didn't work well for you. We understand that scent preferences are very personal, and while our lotions are fragrance-free, the ingredients themselves do have a natural, subtle scent that some may find noticeable. Regarding absorption, our lotions are formulated to be rich and hydrating, so they may take a moment to fully absorb. We recommend applying to slightly damp skin for optimal absorption. If you're still dissatisfied, we encourage you to contact our customer service team.

Feels great and hydrating/moisturizing on the face, but I cannot put it on my body after the shower without having extreme itchiness and burning? Very confused by that because it feels fine on my face. I’ve tried using it as body lotion 10+ times and every time I have the same reaction.

I have eczema on my hands and had a sample of CeraVe from my Dermatologist. It must have been a different formula because it was great. I bought the Intensive Moisturizing Lotion with 5% Hydro-Urea and it have made my eczema so itchy and painful. I have tried it multiple times and every time I use it it causes itchy and painful reactions.

Best lotion ever

5 out of 5 stars
Theo121 - 1 month ago
originally posted on cerave.com
This lotion is beyond amazing. I started a new medication that made my skin extremely dry, itchy, and rashy with eczema. I thought hives at first. The daily moisturizer wasn’t cutting it. The thicker moisturizing cream wasn’t cutting it. I tried pure shea butter, pure cocoa butter. Straight up aquaphor. Different things helped with different success rates but I was still so itchy. I saw this on the shelf and bought it out of desperation. I didn’t think it’d work. After the first application I felt relief, and after a few days my skin started visibly improving. I’ve been using it daily for a few weeks now, and I cannot express how thankful I am I bought this lotion. My skin is better than it was before I started taking this new medication. My scars have gotten lighter. My KP has gotten smoother. My full body eczema is virtually gone. My (mild) psoriasis is virtually gone. It has even somehow managed to help mitigate my neuropathic itching. It’s not greasy or heavy or uncomfortable to wear either. It might be too much for a humid summer, but we shall see. I cannot express how thankful I am for this lotion. It’s incredible.

Added this Cerave product to the lineup of skin care lotions, moisturizers and cleansers that I have been able to use safely, and effectively. To-date, I am seeing improvement in the condition of my skin. I have been suffering with palmoplantar psoriasis that is quite compromising. This is another of the wonderful Cerave products in my arsenal dealing with this miserable skin condition.

I found it to be lightweight, non greasy & it absorbs into my skin quickly . It does a great job of keeping my skin hydrated without having to reapply constantly. I've been using different CeraVe products for years without disappointment! This is a wonderful addition to their line of moisturizers.

I love the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, but the CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion left me extremely itchy with a red rash on my arms and chest. Legs are a little itchy, but not terrible like my arms and chest. Have been using a wet cloth to calm it, but it's so bad it impacts even sleeping. Not sure what causes it since I've never had an issue with the cream..

Absolutely Horrible—Burns Like Fire

2 out of 5 stars
clug - 3 months ago
originally posted on cerave.com
Absolutely Horrible—Burns Like Fire and Crusts Like Cement! I had high hopes for the CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion, but this stuff is an absolute nightmare for my skin. The moment I applied it, my face started burning like I had rubbed acid all over it. I thought maybe it was just a slight tingle—NOPE. Within minutes, my skin felt like it was on fire. As if the pain wasn’t enough, this lotion dried down into a crusty, flaky mess, settling into every fine line and crevice like some kind of cement filler. My skin looked drier than before—almost like I had applied glue instead of moisturizer. The worst part? Even after washing it off, the irritation lingered. If you have even remotely sensitive skin, STAY FAR AWAY. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy. Back to the store it goes!
