what is your favorite step?

maybe its just me and my dry skin, but this product didnt really do much for me. i cant really see any results yet, i have only been using it for a couple of weeks. so far, its nothing special. it gives an okay glow for a little, sinks in and then not much for the rest of the day. it leaves my skin feeling smooth, but mot much different than before. i dont really feel it did much for me, it could be different for people with less dry skin. i put a before and after applying so you can get an idea of the results – let me know what you guys think!

it gives a nice glow for a little bit, cant really tell if i see any results. it also sinks in quickly. nice smell. i enjoy using it though, and i think its a nice texture and non irritating formula on my sensitive skin.

the fragrance is annoying. it smells like strong lavender with some undertone of tea tree oil. it really smells like it would be irritating, but you might like it if your taste is different than mine. overall, its really just an average cleanser, but i still wouldnt reccomend it to anyone because of the lack of stand out ingredients and performance.

if im being honest, nothing really stood out to me about this cleanser. it has a nice lather, is not excessively drying, and is not irritating to use on me. my experience was alright, i have no qualms except for the fragrance (will say more in negative section) of the cleanser. i think it did a fine job of cleansing my skin for the next steps of my routine.

nothing standing out– there usually isnt with cerave.

-my experience: i used this every day twice a day on dry skin after cleansing. i found that after about two months, this wasnt providing enough hydration for my skin.
-texture: a lightweight, spreadable lotion.
-results: this did not really do much for my skin. using this product really got me nowhere in my skincare adventure and did not help with any of my dry patches or areas. 
-overview: this might be good for oily skin, but did not provide enough hydration for my normal&#47;dry skin. it was also very difficult to use up, had to start using on my body to get rid of it.

i dont think this has any bad qualities. i just loved using it and the smell isnt overpowering and didnt irritate my skin.

this was such a surprise because i was unsure about this product. i think it does such a good job of exfoliating gently and giving me GLOW all day and looks so nice sunken in. i havent gotten any breakouts since using it so im very grateful. another plus is the texture. its super weirdly bouncy and hydrating. its definitely worth a try if you have dry skin and dont want a drying exfoliant. i use it day and night.

listen. the first time i used this cleanser, i thought id finally found my perfect cleanser, but a couple of times into use i realised some things about it that took away a lot of the appeal. to be honest, it smells straight up like shampoo and the scent ruins the experience. i saw one user called it gimmicky, and i totally agree. it smells cheap and just makes it difficult for me to wash my face! im sad because i really love the texture. its also a little drying. not too much to worry about there though, might be fine on oilier skin.
