For Dry Skin "I purchased the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream to use daily for my dry skin. For about the last 4 months, I have broken out in hives that itched. A dermatologist first said it was poison ivy. A month later, the dermatologist said it was eczema. I have been treated with a prescription cream that helps. The rash is completely gone the following day, but I was also taking 2 Benadryls 3 times a day to control the itch. Lately, I have not used the CeraVe consistently, and it seemed to me that the rash was going away, and I used the CeraVe again after not using it for a few days, and now the rash is back full on. I wasted a lot of money on this product."

For Dry Skin "I decided to try CeraVe because I suffer from eczema on my face and I tend to have dry patches of skin. I used this product the morning I got it, and my face immediately became irritated. I had red, itchy patches all over my face, especially on my eyelids, that felt hot to the touch. It's like my face was burning, and it actually made it more dry. I finally decided to wash my face a couple of times with my normal cleanser and use my normal moisturizer. It felt a little better after that, but is still itchy and red, my only relief right now is an ice pack. I am hoping within a couple of days it will subside. Horrible product."
