Why we like it.
The formulation checks nearly every box that matters for daily use: a real ceramide, a proven anti-inflammatory (niacinamide), and a humectant blend that pulls water in without leaving a film on the skin.
The texture is where it earns its shelf space. It's lighter than the CeraVe jar cream, which makes it a better fit for daytime, under sunscreen, under makeup — but it still repairs the barrier the way heavier creams do.
For most people in Michigan, this is a reasonable everyday face moisturizer year-round, with the CeraVe jar swapped in on truly brutal January nights.
- Anyone who wants one daily moisturizer and no decisions
- Combination skin that finds the CeraVe jar too heavy
- Sensitive or reactive skin — the formula is very short and clean
- Retinoid or exfoliant users who need daily barrier support
- Very oily skin looking for a true oil-free gel (try a niacinamide serum + SPF instead)
- Anyone wanting a scented, sensorial cream
It's the moisturizer I hand people who tell me they don't want to think about their skin. It works for almost everyone, almost every day.
— Kendal, Licensed EstheticianA simple, repeatable routine.
- 1AM: after cleansing, press a pea-sized amount into slightly damp skin. Follow with SPF.
- 2PM: use as your nightly moisturizer, or layer under the CeraVe jar on the coldest weeks.
- 3Neck and chest: extend down — they age faster than the face and get ignored.

What we'd put next to it.
UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
The daily SPF most estheticians actually wear on their own face.
The two-step AM routine most clients actually stick with.
Hydrating Facial Cleanser
The boring, bland, brilliant cleanser we recommend to nearly every new guest.
Cleanser, this moisturizer, sunscreen — a real routine in three steps.
Questions people actually ask.
There's a version with SPF 30 — which do I want?
This review is the plain (fragrance-free) version. If you want one AM step instead of two, the SPF 30 version is a great option; add a dedicated SPF if you'll be outdoors.
Can I use it with retinol?
Yes. Apply the retinol first on dry skin, wait a minute, then buffer with this moisturizer.
Is it non-comedogenic?
Yes, and in practice it's one of the least breakout-prone moisturizers we've used with acne-prone clients.
