CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, 16 Ounce

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I have suffered for the past 3 years with sores all over my body from not being able to stop picking at them when they become irritating. It left me with unsightly scars and scabs. People thought I had chicken pox or chewed alive by mosquitos. I also suffer from repeated cellulitis infections on my face from rosacea that is very sensitive and I spend more months out of the year on antibiotics than I don't. I've been using CeraVe cream for about 1 month now, everyday, and have had the most incredible results. All the scabs have healed up. I still have scars but there is a noticeable reduction in visibility of them. I still get mild crawling sensations that I find myself reaching to scratch at, but because I no longer encounter a rough spot, I no longer scratch open my skin leading to more scabs and scars, so the cycle of scratch-itch-scratch seems to be broken. My skin is silky smooth, and I can shave my legs with a razor again instead of using Nair hair remover. And I haven't used a razor in 3 years - to me that is amazing, lol.



If there ever was a product I stood behind 100% it would be CeraVe. I also purchased some organic tea tree oil soap to use on my face and body and I started using that about 2 months ago. I did notice a small amount of improvement on my face and skin from that product. But it wasn't until I started applying CeraVe that I had a significant change. My face is the most changed. All my blemishes are gone, My skin is soft and radiant looking again. I was diagnosed with rosacea in 2009 and before that had maybe 1 pimple every time I got my period. I was always praised for my "peaches and cream" complexion, so it was really devastating to deal with severe rosacea -peeling skin like I always had a sunburn, blemishes, sores, and worst of all the hidden pockets of infection that would develop into painful lumps (cellulitis) that I would need to be on antibiotics for. It got so that all I had to do was call in to the doctor's office to have them call in a prescription for antibiotics - I no longer needed an appointment to get it because they were so familiar with my case. I am literally crying as I write this review as I have never been more grateful for something than I am for CeraVe. I have since purchased their face moisturizer with sunscreen from Walmart and it works well but I don't think it would have healed me initially like the cream did. The cream is what really worked for me though and I use it nightly. The biggest fear I had about this product was that it would cause my rosacea to worsen because it was a cream, but I gave it a shot because it said it was non-comodongetic which means it doesn't cause pimples, and it doesn't!



One problem I had that wasn't really an issue for me was Keratosis (prickly, bumpy skin) on my upper arms - it was mild - but that is all but gone as well from use of the cream. At this time, I am going through about 1 tub of the cream in 5 weeks, but I am also overweight so I have more area to cover so others can expect to use less of the product. It is worth every single penny. It's worked so well, my sister bought it just because of my success and she doesn't have any skin issues and can get by using the cheaper lotions from the local stores but she likes how soft my skin is. Please, if you have any kind of skin issues such as I had, do not hesitate to order this product. Use it everyday and I will guarantee that you will see results.



There is only one, very small, insignificant issue that annoys me. If I put it on on a hot day, or before I exercise, it makes my skin slick (not greasy, just slick). I found that, even with sweat, I would just rub the lotion back in and it was fine.
