Skin Resetting: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream review

As I've told you earlier, my skin type is dry. Around 2 months ago, my skin was like seriously dry like if I smile, my face would crack. If you're facing a problem of thirsty skin, meet my hero.




I'm telling you first that this product has quite heavy texture and if you have an oily skin, I suggest you to try the lotion type of CeraVe. I purchased 2 small tubes in approximately 500 Baht (30 Baht=1 Dollar and 40 Baht = 1 Euro). There is also a 16 oz. size available too.




Here are what the product claims: 
  • moisturises, restores, and maintains protective skin barrier
  • controlled release (keeps your hydration level steady)
  • non-comedogenic
  • non-irritating
If you've ever tried Dermalogica Ultracalming Barrier Repair, I can say that their textures when applying onto the skin are quite similar; like there's a thin shield covering your face ( weird word choice, hope you get it). The differences are that CeraVe is much cheaper and it offers a thicker shield.

So, this cream helps me with my flaky skin very well. It's also non-comedogenic and causes no irritation as it claims.

I can say that this product is my main rescuer. Believe it or not, although I've told you its texture is quite thick and not so suitable for oily skin type, I had to apply this cream for 4-5 layers daily in order to hydrate my skin. I didn't feel greasy at all, can you imagine how badly my skin became a dessert? However, I regain my hydration back in a month, together with taking Meiji Amino Collagen and applying Kose Hyaloroncharge Moisture Lotion L.

Out of these three HG items, if you ask which one I'd pick out of these 3, I'd say this CeraVe cream. It keeps my skin hydrated and comfortable. So, let me summarise the pros and the cons for you.

Pros

- doesn't clog pores, causes no allergy (for me)
- no perfume, no alcohol; less chance for irritation
- can be used as both night and day cream, as it contains no SPF
- keep skin hydrated and improve skin condition when using regularly.

Cons

- have to be purchased via Internet only (for Thailand), and some online stores sell it overpriced.
- may be too greasy for those who have combination or oily skin tone


Will I purchase it again, yes :) Maybe I'll try the lotion type this time.
