We only recommend products we love and that we think you will, too.
But what sets these two moisturizers apart?
The main difference between CeraVes moisturizing lotion and cream really comes down to the consistency, Dr. Mian says.
The Daily Moisturizing Lotion is a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer, while the Moisturizing Cream has a thicker consistency.
(Your skins dryness can fluctuate depending on the weather, too.)
For one, if youre in need of maximum, long-lasting moisture, choose the cream over the lotion.
Another time to use the cream over the lotion is at bedtime, Dr. Mian suggests.
(The practical pump-top bottle may be a selling point for some, too.)
She also thinks its a great warm-weather pick, when your skin is typically less dry.
This is best reserved for your body only not your face.
