    I have used other brands of urea lotion and this one smells less bad than the other/half the price. i wish the percentage was 10%. but it seems like some reviewers don't understand the ingredients in this lotion. temporary stinging is a common side effect when you initially start using the product. this is different from an allergic reaction.

    CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is a great choice for dry skin. It’s super gentle and non-foaming, which means it cleans without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. I really appreciate how the ceramides and hyaluronic acid work together to keep my skin feeling soft and hydrated all day. Just a heads up—if you’re wearing heavy or waterproof makeup, you might need an extra step to get everything off. Overall, it’s a reliable, no-fuss cleanser that leaves dry skin feeling cared for.

    I had a horrible reaction to Proactive’s acne treatment. My face had chemical burns, extreme itching, my eyes swilled up and it was extremely rough and stiff. I set up allllllll night looking for something to help it. I came across this. Immediately my face was hydrated and calming down. It was smooth the next morning and I could see a change. I was so happy. It really saved my skin. It did everything it said it would do.
