Moisturizing Cream
Summary of Reviews
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid to repair the skin barrier and hydrate, with a medium, non-greasy texture that is occlusive enough for dry winter skin. Dr. Mara Weinstein Velez (board-certified dermatologist) highlights the barrier-repairing ingredients, and Kelly Driscoll notes it helped heal damaged skin and offers great value for the price. However, Kelly Driscoll strongly dislikes the pump container, which leaves cream unreachable, and recommends the squeeze tube instead.
