Good texture, Good for Sensitive Skin

Kyleigh - 5 days ago, Verified purchaser
Great for my sensitive skin that hates most products. Even the Neutrogena sensitive skin face lotion caused my skin to sting. Yet this one didn’t. I also appreciate the thin gel texture that you don’t notice as much visually once you put on. Sensory wise I like that the texture doesn’t feel super thick/creamy/greasy and it dries off your face fast but still leaves the skin feeling better and moisturized. It’s a little pricy for just under 2 oz. Not sure if my bottle specifically was somehow tampered or if they don’t fill it up all the way either. It also can leave my skin a tad bit sticky but that goes away. Not amazingly moisturizing for someone with super dry skin like myself, but that’s almost to be expected with a thin gel. I’ll probably still want a heavy duty cream since my skin is so dry as it is.

good product, terrible dispenser

The product is good, I like it a lot. But the packaging is terrible! The upside-down pump dispenser was a bad idea. You have to hold the tube upside-down for the product to dispense, which is very awkward. I ended up cutting off the crimped end and scooping it out witb my finger. Then have it closed with a chip clip so it doesn't dry out. They should either use the same phmp dispenser bottle as the other priducts, or get rid of the pump and just have a squeeze-tube.
Great for sensitive acne prone skin

This is the ONLY moisturizer that doesn’t break me out! The lightweight gel texture is gentle yet hydrating still and doesn’t make my makeup pill. It is great for my acne prone skin. I use it daily and nightly
Amazing moisturiser but packaging isn't good imo

Honestly, I LOVE this moisturiser. My skin gets super oily when I use other moisturisers but once I started using this, my skin hasn't gotten that oily anymore. I especially love the sticky feeling it leaves on my skin as well. However, one major concern for me would be the packaging because first, the dispenser comes off easily and once mine did, a lot of the gel gets stuck inside it which I don't know why that happens. Second, it's super hard to pump out the gel even when there's definitely still some left. Third, since I understand that there's no tube whatsoever to connect to the dispenser, I would appreciate if the cap could be unscrewed/removed so that we can at least have access to the remaining gel that can't get dispensed. Lastly, I wish there was a bigger version of this 😭 preferrably in a similar packaging as your other products.

This is perfect for sensitive skin. If anyone has reactions to moisturizers or burning, this product is soothing and light. Great for anyone undergoing chemo. It's a little pricey and the bottle could use an easier way to use the product. Cerve is on the pricey end but worth it.

This is the ONLY moisturizer that works for my skin - all seasons. I'm over 65 & thought no way this will work, but, after using it for over a year, my skin looks great! Just wish it came in a larger size!!

I use this product every morning. It’s very light because it is a gel and not the consistency of a greasy lotion. I also mix it in with other products that are thick since my skin is aging and thick products are harder to spread or blend in.
Very lightweight & hydrating

This cream is so lightweight. Great for day use & soaks in immediately with no greasy feeling. Yet leaves skin extra smooth & soft. Great under make up
Lightweight and cooling, but burns my skin. Don't use if you have a sunburn!!!

MA - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
I bought this for the humid summer months when heavy mosturizer sits on the skin instead of absorbing. I wanted to love this, it is lightweight and feels almost cooling. But it burns. I have very senstive skin, and it burns in some areas, especially the drier parts of my face. And do NOT use this if you have a sunburn, it hurts even more. It is lightweight, but even multiple pumps my skin still feels tight. Maybe if I didn’t have such sensitive skin it would be okay, but doesn’t work for me.

I have used Cerave in the past and never had a problem, however, this product caused an allergic reaction around my eyes. I do not recommend. This is not sensitive skin friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One thing I look for in a moisturizer is it being light weight and this ge brings that. It provides great protection and feels like you have nothing on your face.

Wow! This is such an amazing product for your skin. It’s very light and smooth, and extremely weightless on the skin. It’s as if you’re using water. The packaging is very easy to maneuver through and it has a wonderful scent on top of it all. I highly recommend this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the lightweight texture which is especially suitable for the oily areas of my face. My face looks less greasy throughout the day and skin feels balanced. The gel cream also preps my skin well for makeup.

It is TOO light. I think it actually dries my face out. I like that it is clear and rubs in easy.
