CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion, Hydro-Urea + Shea Butter, Body Lotion For Dry Skin, Relieves Signs Of Extra Dry Skin, Non Greasy Hydrating Cream For Rough, Tight, Red & Itchy Skin, 16oz

It’s a great product

Nice in my skin but there’s some foul smell. I can’t stand the smell

Too much oily

I’ve used the standard CeraVe Daily Lotion for years, but this Intensive Moisturizing version is in a completely different league for extreme dryness. If you deal with that uncomfortable "tight" feeling or seasonal itching, this formula makes a massive difference. Performance & Texture: Deep Hydration without the Grease: Despite being a "rich" lotion with Shea Butter, it doesn't sit on top of the skin. It sinks in almost immediately. I can put my jeans on right after applying it without that sticky, tacky feeling. Targeting Roughness: I specifically noticed a difference in redness and flaking on my shins and elbows. It doesn't just mask the dryness; it feels like it’s actually repairing the skin barrier. Fragrance-Free & Gentle: As someone with sensitive skin, I appreciate that it’s pH-balanced and fragrance-free. There’s no stinging, even on areas that are slightly irritated from the cold. Smooth Formula: I’ve used other intensive creams that felt "gritty" or heavy. This formula is incredibly smooth and feels much more like a premium cosmetic product while delivering serious hydration.

This is an excellent moisturiser. I bought it for my body but started using on my face too.

I like another brand of urea cream but it’s in a round bottle and is really hard to get out of the pump bottle near the end although the product itself is excellent. I find Cerave’s pump bottles to be easier to get all the product out of at the end, so thought I would try this product even though it is 5% urea instead of the 10% I preferred. This is the perfect product to use on my hands in between my use of daily AmLactin. It takes care of any dryness and is gentle and very moisturizing. I will definitely keep using this, it’s very soothing and I like it better for my hands than the other Cerave formulations such as the lighter lotion in the blue pump or the cream in the tub that is not urea based. Those are good for face and body and I like them, but this specific Intensive product with hydro-urea is amazing to smooth out my hands that look crepey and bumpy when dry. I use this anytime I can use my cotton skin care gloves for a deep treatment. It can be greasy if you apply too much. When I’m not doing a glove treatment I just apply less to reduce the greasiness, which by the way, feels so soothing. It’s a good greasy if that makes sense, you just don’t want it getting on everything you touch, so if I’m not using gloves I mainly apply on the backs of my hands and it is simply wonderful. If you want to combat crepey or dry skin, I highly recommend AmLactin daily (the green pump) alternated with this Cerave urea lotion, or even apply this over the AmLactin after it has absorbed. I prefer to rotate them- AmLactin 2x day, morning and night, and Cerave in between. One last thing- USE SUNSCREEN when exposed to any sun since sun damage makes the skin texture you are trying to help worse. Especially higher concentrations of urea can cause sun sensitivity even though urea itself is not an irritating ingredient (for me, and generally not for most people- things like petrolatum are not irritating either, but with skin everyone is so different that 99% might have no issues but it’s possible a rare one might in some circumstances). This is a great moisturizer and in my opinion one of the top 3 urea products for hands especially. It’s good.

Excellent lotion for a body moisturiser however I would prefer 20% urea and availability in a larger volume. Otherwise excellent Cerave product as usual. If we can get bigger volumes and higher urea concentrations it would be great for exfoliation.

**Review: CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion** CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion is an excellent choice for anyone dealing with very dry or rough skin. The formula feels rich and deeply nourishing without being greasy or heavy, and it absorbs well into the skin. After just a few uses, my skin felt noticeably softer, smoother, and more comfortable throughout the day. What really sets this lotion apart is how long-lasting the moisture is. It keeps skin hydrated for hours, even in dry or cold conditions. The addition of ceramides helps strengthen the skin barrier, and the fragrance-free formula makes it gentle enough for sensitive skin. Overall, this lotion delivers reliable, intensive hydration while still feeling lightweight and breathable. It’s a dependable everyday moisturizer that truly does what it promises, especially for dry, stressed skin.
