For Dry Skin "I used this product for about 2 weeks, eventually stopped because I experienced more redness of the skin and what seemed like breakouts, that was inflamed. I decided to try it back a few days ago, thinking maybe it gets bad before it gets good, again the same issues. Really thought this product was best for my skin, since it's made up of mostly everything to use for dry or dehydrated skin."

For Dry Skin "I've been using this product for the past 3 months and have found it to be a great product. I like that it's a creamy cleanser and doesn't have all the foam and bubbles of some other cleansers. I also like the addition of the hyaluronic acid, which is the reason I initially purchased this product. I'm in my early 40s, and over the past few years, I've noticed some pigmentation on my upper cheek area and some on my forehead. This is likely due to the normal change of hormones at my age, so I was looking for a product to help minimize this pigmentation without the risk of major side effects. After researching my extra pigmentation and coming to the conclusion that mine is likely hormonal and that hyaluronic acid can help with conditions like Melasma, I decided to give it a try. I'm pleased with my results in lightening the pigmentation. It didn't lighten overnight, but with regular use of this product, I have noticed a very gradual lightening."

For Dry Skin "Used once. Almost immediate allergic reaction with rash, low blood pressure, high pulse, and tight throat. Don't know the ingredient causing it though."

For Dry Skin "Used it for 2 days: itching, redness that turned to burning rash. Suspect it is the glycerin. May be soy derived. "

For Dry Skin "I am over 50 with dry ageing skin. I read how great Cerave was supposed to be for ageing skin. It burned me. I have red patches around my eyes and mouth, and will never touch the product again."

"Used CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for half a week, and a few days after experienced extremely chapped lips. After a few more days passed I experienced swelling, peeling, and a numb like feeling."
