For Dry Skin "I bought this cream with hopes of replacing an oil I was using that seemed to be clogging my pores. I applied the lotion before I went to bed, and when I woke up in the morning, my entire face was swollen and burned with a rash. I would NOT recommend this product. I have discontinued use of the cream, however, I'm still trying to get my skin back to its natural state."

For Dry Skin "I have heard amazing things about this product, but my face, however, did not like it. This product broke me out in hives and scared my face. I have splotches of red marks and dry skin. My face looks like a cat scratched it all up. When I touch the area, it burns. Most of the burn-like scratches are under my eyes, cheeks, and nose."

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."
