Q: Does this product have spf factor?

submitted by Barbie - 26 days ago
  • A: Hello Barbie! Thank you for your interest in CeraVe Oil Control Face Gel Cream. This product does not offer protection against UVA/UVB rays. As an alternative option we suggest you try our CeraVe Ultra Lightweight Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30. CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion includes broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen to help protect skin from sun damage, plus hyaluronic acid and three essential ceramides to hydrate and help restore the skin’s barrier. Additionally, our lightweight oil-free moisturizer provides a matte finish, won’t clog pores, and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth, as well as protected from the sun. We hope you will give this product a try soon and we will be sure to pass your feedback along to the appropriate departments. Thanks again for reaching out!

    I’ve been using this for almost a month and it has clogged my pores. I’ve had so many blackheads and pimples. I’m going back to CeraVe PM Moisturizing Lotion, Night Cream for All Skin Types. I used that for a year and never had any issues. I highly recommend that if you have oily skin!

    Comedogenic ingredients; don't use if acne-prone

    John - 3 months ago
    originally posted on cerave.com
    This product contains isopropyl myristate, which is extremely comedogenic, along with C14-C22 alcohols and cetearyl alcohol which are both fatty alcohols and moderately comedogenic. I don't normally write reviews but it's so unethical to advertise a product toward those with oily skin at a higher price point and then include ingredients like this. This product may not break out a majority of people but if you're acne-prone then you should avoid this to prevent giving yourself closed comedones.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For those with acne prone skin, anything that helps control oil is a must. I used it over a salicylic acne serum and it did not pill, but i don't think it leaves a matte finish -- more like a normal skin finish. My skin felt well hydrated, but my shiny spots never really went away until I applied powder over them. I am a fan of the anti-bacterial bottle design.

    Best moisturizer for oily skin

    5 out of 5 stars
    Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
    Leah - 5 months ago
    This is one of the best moisturizers that I’ve tried for oily skin. I’ve noticed a huge difference in the amount of oil my skin produces throughout the day and hardly any breakouts since I’ve started using this! It does make my face sweat just a little bit after first applying it. Mostly on my upper lip and cheeks but I just dab it off and it stops after about 10-20 minutes. It’s not a huge deal and I’ve noticed no difference in how my makeup looks. Besides it looking less oily since my face produces less oil with this moisturizer. It’s a little pricey but if you’ve been looking for a good moisturizer for oily skin I would seriously try this one out!

I purchases it than,,,,i m using this for last 1 week....whenever i apply this moisturizer my face sweats horribly..... And the process of sweating continues more than 30 minutes... Though it doesnt make any sensitivity in my face like redness,itching,pimple etc.... But buying a costly product a sweaty face cannt be a matter pleasant...

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality product! I get super oily skin in the summer time to the point it makes me break out and usually moisturizers help to create more oil just adding to this but not this moisturizer! It truly did help reduce the oil while keeping my face fresh cleansed a feeling very soft it goes on smooth rubs in nicely after using this for a while I'd definitely recommend!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already love Cerave. I've been using their hydrating foaming cleanser for years at this point, and when I was sent this product to review, and I was pretty confident it would be everything I need, and I was RIGHT! It's lightweight, very spreadable, very moisturizing, never pills when layered under my makeup, and hasn't caused any new acne. I've been using it for a few months now, and when I finish this bottle, I'll be re-purchasing for sureeeeeee. You really don't need a lot of product, which means a lot to me, because I loooove to use too much moisturizer lol. I have sensitive skin, but Cerave has always been a safe brand, since they're always very gently formulated.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclaimer: I received this product free from Bzzagent for testing purposes but the opinions expressed remain 100% my own honest thoughts. The Cerave Oil Control Gel Cream is deeply moisturizing while staying matte in the t-zone perfect for those who have oily to combination skin types. I like that it is layerable and does not pill under other products like my sunscreen or makeup. Stays matte all day until I remove it at night and causes no clogging of pores which I appreciate since I also have very sensitive/ acne prone skin. Overall I am very happy with this product and love the hydration and plump skin it gave me while using. I hope that it continues to help repair my skin barrier since I have noticed less redness and irritation.
