Smooth Finish; Ingredients on Product Page Inaccurate
I use this on my face and body! It does not break me out and does not contain any irritants. It is moderately moisturizing, but is not heavy. If you are looking for a heavy, cream-like moisturizer, this doesn't have that texture. I purchased the "baby version" of the Cerave moisturizers because it does not contain parabens (too much controversy about parabens & too much incomplete research, so I decided to avoid when possible until more research is done on the subject). The only reason I docked one star is that most of the skin-benefitting ingredients (such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, ect.) are labelled after the preservative "phenoxyethanol". Phenoxyethanol is only allowed in formulas with a concentration of 1%-2% (and no more). Since ingredients in products are listed in descending order from highest concentration to lowest, most of the skin-benefitting ingredients are present in concentrations lower than 1%-2%. The picture of the ingredients is inaccurate, as it does not show "phenoxyethanol" anywhere on the list. This is misleading and can make one think that there is a higher concentration of skin-benefiting ingredients than in actuality. This is a nice lotion, nevertheless. It isn't greasy, but those with very dry skin might not find it moisturizing enough. Since it has a nice finish, I use it as my day lotion over my serums and under my sunscreen and makeup. I use a separate lotion for nighttime, since I like my nighttime lotion to be more rich and filled with more skin-repairing ingredients. I hope this helps!
