❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Will this clog my pores if I use it on my face?
No! Despite being labeled a 'cream,' CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested not to clog pores. Many with acne-prone skin use it successfully. The key is applying to damp skin and using a thin layer - you don't need much for your face.
What's the difference between this and CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion?
The CREAM (tub) is thicker, richer, and better for very dry skin, winter weather, or body use. The LOTION (pump) is lighter, absorbs faster, and better for normal/combination skin or humid climates. If your skin is dry, go with the cream!
Can I use this if I have oily skin?
It depends! If you have oily skin due to dehydration (tight, shiny, AND dry), yes - this can help balance your skin. But if you have naturally oily/greasy skin, the CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion or the Daily Moisturizing Lotion would be better choices.
Is this actually good for eczema or just marketed that way?
It's legitimately excellent for eczema! It holds the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, meaning it's been clinically tested on eczema patients. The ceramides help repair the compromised skin barrier that's characteristic of eczema. Many dermatologists prescribe it alongside medicated treatments.
Why does it sometimes pill under makeup or sunscreen?
Pilling happens when you use too much product or don't let it fully absorb. Use a THIN layer, press (don't rub) it into damp skin, wait a full 2-3 minutes for absorption, then apply sunscreen/makeup. Also avoid silicone-heavy products on top - they don't layer well.
How long does the 19oz tub last?
For face only: 6-8 months. For face + body: 1-2 months. For full body daily: 2-3 weeks. The value is incredible - this breaks down to pennies per use, making it one of the most cost-effective quality moisturizers available.
Can I use this during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes! All ingredients are pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. Many OB-GYNs recommend CeraVe for pregnancy-related skin changes like dryness, itching, and stretch marks. Always consult your healthcare provider, but this is generally considered a safe choice.
Does it help with rough, bumpy texture (keratosis pilaris)?
Yes! Many users report improvement in KP with consistent use. The ceramides and hyaluronic acid help soften and smooth rough texture. For best results with KP, exfoliate first (CeraVe SA Cleanser works well), then apply this cream while skin is damp.

ℹ️ About This Product
CeraVe was developed by dermatologists in 2005 and has since become the #1 dermatologist-recommended skincare brand in America. The Moisturizing Cream's MVE Technology is patented and unique to CeraVe - it creates tiny multi-layered capsules that slowly dissolve over 24 hours, continuously releasing ceramides and hyaluronic acid. This is why CeraVe provides longer-lasting hydration compared to regular moisturizers that release all ingredients at once.
