For Dry Skin "Used CeraVe as I heard it was good for sensitive/dry/eczema-prone skin. After a couple of days of using the cleanser and moisturizer, my face and neck broke out in tiny red itchy bumps ALL OVER. It wasn't patches, it was a rash completely covering my skin - never had anything like it before. I stopped using immediately. Solved it by washing my skin with only water for the next week or so and used hydrocortisone cream mixed in with my Aveeno moisturizer all over the affected area. So disappointed, but obviously some products don't work for everyone. I suggest you take care and patch test if you're considering buying!"

For Dry Skin "I used the moisturizing cream on my face because of my very dry skin. After using for 3 days, I developed a reaction with red bumps and itching. Use of the cream on my legs and arms did not cause a reaction. It is too strong for the face."

For Dry Skin "Started using CeraVe on my dry legs, feet, and elbows, and by the second day I had small red, itchy bumps all over my skin. So glad I did not use it on my face. I have never had an allergic reaction to a lotion or cream. My legs look and feel sunburned. This should have a warning label. I took Benadryl to stop the itching."

For Dry Skin "I used the hypotonic serum, and the next day my skin was itchy, red, and bumpy, and my face was swollen. I put on calamine lotion, and my face felt cool instead of warm. My skin is better today."
