CeraVe - AlexandraPainter review for SA Smoothing Cream

The SA Smoothing Cream is available in two sizes/formats – a 177ml plastic tube and also a 340g tub.

Also suitable for skin prone to Keratosis Piliaris. 💙 Gently alleviates rough and bumpy skin texture. 💙 Star ingredients: Urea, Salicylic Acid, LHA and Hyaluronic Acid. 💙 Free of physical exfoliants. 💙 Fragrance-free, non-irritating, non comedogenic. 💙 With 3 essential ceramides to protect skin’s natural barrier. 💙 Recommended use in conjunction with CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser. Made in France 🇫🇷 💭 My product review: The packaging has a functional aesthetic in clean white and blue, an easy-to-use squeeze tube for precise dosage, and a very well-sealing, click-shut lid. Brill. The cream is super thick, but - surprisingly - not greasy or fatty AT ALL. It blends in beautifully, leaving a soft, cushiony sort of feel to the skin – not slicky or sticky, just comforting. And at the end of the day, my skin still feels moisturised. It’s fragrance-free too, which I'm fine with. It’s for both face and body, but as my face can be sensitive, I focused on my legs, which have mild eczema that can become scaly and dry and horribly itchy, especially throughout winter. This cream soothed and softened and moisturised them so well that I started trying it on other body parts - and then on some small flaky dry patches on my face. Miraculously, the rough elbows and knees, dry hands and, yes, even the dry patches around my nose and mouth... all gone. This SA cream didn’t just soothe and moisturise my skin; it seems to have healed it. This is very economical; it's a big tube, and a little goes a very, very long way. If you have dry, sensitive skin, I’d highly recommend trying it. I've spent years plastering on thick, oily cold creams prescribed by my dermatologist to combat eczema and dry, itching skin. Those creams were really unpleasant to use, and didn't soothe and heal like this CeraVe cream does. I'm so grateful I got to try this! I'll be buying more when the current tube runs out.
