From late summer, I felt that no matter what I applied, it didn't seem to suit my skin. So I bought this lotion, thinking of using it as a cream substitute. The first impression was that it's a bit watery, as it's a lotion, not a cream. The texture itself, as well as the feel when applying it to the face, is subtly watery and lightweight. However, the moisturizing effect is great! The dryness in my skin has disappeared! My skin, which used to be bright red (not just flushed cheeks, but my whole face), has also become less red. It contains ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, so it's moisturizing enough to be used as a cream, and the moisture doesn't evaporate quickly. It may be a bit lacking as the weather gets colder, though. I think this product is worth trying for those of you who have very sensitive skin, with an oily T-zone but dry U-zone, just like me! Additional note: As the weather has gotten colder, the oiliness I used to feel on my face has disappeared overnight. I'm not sure if my skin was just being temperamental before, or if this lotion has had some influence, as I didn't experience the sudden surge of oil when using other products. So you can take my previous comment about the oil lightly. As it's getting colder, using the Cerave PM alone is a bit challenging. After all, a lotion is a lotion. But it's still much more moisturizing than the cream I had before.
ConsAt first, it seemed to soothe and moisturize my dry, sensitive, and reddened face. But the more I used it, the more my face became an oil slick. It felt like my skin was coated in a sticky, petroleum-like substance. I was surprised to see that it took three blotting papers to make my skin feel somewhat fresh again. It was difficult to remove that distinctive oily residue with my mild, slightly acidic cleanser. So I had to double cleanse to get it off properly. After that, I've been using it reasonably well. Anyway, since winter is coming soon, I'm considering alternating between this and my AM moisturizer during the summer.
TipI completely agree with the advice to find the right pumping frequency for yourself. I do two pumps, applying it gently by patting it on the dry areas of my cheeks and around my mouth. For my forehead and nose area, which tend to get oily and acne-prone, I just use the remaining product and apply it lightly. If your cheeks still feel dry, you can try layering it on a bit more in those areas. The texture itself doesn't feel heavy, but the oiliness does come through. Before applying this, I recommend wiping your face with a toner - I use a very watery rose water toner (Althea Organics Rose Water) for this. Using a thicker, more moisturizing toner might leave your skin feeling a bit sticky afterwards.
