"Since it’s such a large amount if you purchase the tub, you don’t want to continue dipping your hands into the product over the 6+months it would take to use up—particularly if you’re prone to breakouts. I have combination skin that is much dryer in the winter, and this isn’t as hydrating as I need during those months. CeraVe AM: Comes in a 3oz (89mL) bottle with a pump dispense (basically the same packaging as the PM lotion). Contains SPF 30 (zinc oxide, octinoxate, octocrylene), hyaluronic acid, and it lacks fragrance. If you're familiar with other "cream" products, this would be similar to a body butter and is the right most lotion on my hand in the comparison. This is the same consistency as the “CeraVe Lotion” which also came in a pump (not pictured as I didn’t repurchase when empty). It also doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy or filmy afterward. CeraVe PM: This is a nighttime treatment cream I use mainly in the summer months or when my skin acts up in the winter. I can’t see any difference between those two products, though you can tell in the photo this is a more translucent and a slight amount thinner than the SA Lotion. If I am having a few problem areas or I notice my skin looks dull or the backs of my arms are bumpy, I switch over to the SA lotion, typically at night. When I’m going to be in the sun for an extended period of time I use an additional daytime lotion from a different brand that contains sunscreen, as I had a reaction to the one from this line. My skin is dryer in the winter months than summer, so I cycle these products during different times of the year depending on my skincare needs. Cerave Sa Renewing Skin Lotion, 8 Ounce. CeraVe Moisturizers, Moisturizing Facial Lotion AM, 3 Ounce. CeraVe Moisturizing Facial Lotion PM, 3 Ounce. The smaller travel container: Gotubb 3-Pack, Multi. The larger travel container: GoTubb, Medium, 3 Count."
"I developed a dry, patchy area on the side of my mouth, but figured it was dry skin due to winter."
"If you are doubting this product, stop what you are doing and run to your nearest Walgreens, Target, or Wal-Mart and pick this product up. I also want to add, I didn't get anything for free or was asked to do this review, I just honestly needed to share my experience."
"I'm in my late 20's and I was diagnosed with "pre-rosacea" - a mild redness to my cheeks and jawline, but none of the other symptoms such as acne. I tried everything: dandruff shampoo (for the selenium), zinc/sulphur soap (anti-bacterial), sea buckthorn oil, primrose oil, hemp oil, maracuja oil (anti-inflammatory), and azelaic acid (finacea). Yeeeeah, you can side-eye that description if you want, I too am tired of reading about how blahblah ingredient calms redness or is an anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory for me=run for the hills because you're about to get a big old dose of RED) But no, niacinamide has bigger plans than that."

CeraVe: moisturizing cream (normal to dry). my first tub. My skin feels well moisturized all day long with this product. I'm not positive if it's the product but I don't love it as much as cetaphil and once I've used it up will not buy it again. Cetaphil: moisturizing cream (dry & sensitive skin). my second tub. I ran out of this in spring and got CeraVe but felt like something was missing."
"with age comes great responsibility."
"Like consistency of cream compared to similar products."
"The moisturizing cream really seems to be helping, even on my scaly legs!"
"If you have dry skin this is the moisturizer for you."
"Good for moisturizing."
"I can't stand when those thick creams leave your skin sticky for so long."
"I have finally found the best body cream for me."

"I put it on in the evening on a pimple (with cotton swab...only need a tiny bit) and literally by the next morning my pimple has either gone away completely or noticeably diminished in both size and appearance!!!"
"This is the best drying lotion ever!!!"
"My girls love this lotion."
"What horrible things to put in an acne fighting product. Sulphur products normally work Great on acne. WHAT HAPPENED. I started using this as I was coming down from a bad breakout, I was going to a wedding in a few days which with my normal acne cycles and healing should've been gone by the wedding (with my normal sulphur drying lotion). My skin kept getting more and more inflammed, deeper painful knobs were coming up. I quick washed it off and ordered Eradikate my normal drying lotion, express shipping. I haven't had breakouts this bad since I started using sulphur in my skincare routine."
"I read these amazing rave reviews about this product for multiple skin types, and having heard so many great things about this "miracle brand" I had to try it out for myself. I have combination dry/oily skin, but have never had an extreme issue with acne on a large scale."
"There was so much hype about this product so I had high expectations when I purchased and don't feel they were met. I was hoping one or two nights would practically evaporate the pimple but it just gets dry and stays."
"I purchased Mario Bradescu's Drying Lotion based on its reputation and its Amazon reviews. In addition, dark skin ladies beware: the shade of this lotion isn't for our skin tone so you can only wear it at night."

"I put a little bit on my hands and it was actually difficult to get rid of the awful smell, even with soap and water."

Best Body Butter
Ivory Shea Butter. The shades of color are inevitable with this natural product, however be assured that all Shea Butter from Better Shea Butter is Grade A, high quality and fresh, and comes from Ghana in West Africa. However, just like any completely organic and preservative-free products, variations can occur depending on storing conditions such as humidity and temperature. Keep it in a cool place, either in its original packaging or in a closed glass container of your choice. Our unrefined shea butter is double sealed for your peace of mind: the butter is packaged inside a food grade plastic pouch that gets heat sealed around the butter, then the sealed butter is placed inside a stand up pouch that is also heat sealed.

"I finally got the opportunity to try Raw Shea Butter by Better Shea Butter. It has been fun making different lotions and lotion bars from it, although you can use it straight out of the package by taking a very small amount of the Shea butter and rubbing into your skin. What I like: • Creamy, cookie dough-like texture. • It's raw, unrefined, and organic. • It's very easy to work with. • Can be used in a wide variety of lotion recipes. • Can be used straight from the package by rubbing just a little bit on your skin."
"Should I spend 2 hours decorating myself with the traditional weekend war paint and performing the flat iron frenzy to then join my girlfriends for an evening of tomfoolery? Subject myself to the advances of aged frat boys whose pores ooze the fragrance of stale tailgates and red meat? Wiggle and jiggle my way across the dance floor in an archaic attempt to attract an alpha male that can match my rhythmic intentions? As I watch the shea butter melt into the coconut oil, my spirits lift and senses awaken. After a glorious shower, I dip my fingers into the whipped wonder and begin to slather myself in its all natural glory."
"~Came in a Mylar type of bag with the outside made of something like brown craft paper. ~The 1lbs block of Shea butter was contained in a plastic wrapping, placed inside a Mylar bag. ~The Mylar bag is resealable (like a Ziploc bag). ~There is a card inside the bag (thanking you with a 20% discount code and a website for recipes). Shea Butter: ~Smells very true (light with a type of nuttiness to it). ~Color consistent throughout with a beige-like-whiteness (see picture with Shea Butter on top of white copy paper and a manila folder). ~Texture firm but pliable/mold-able."
"Keeps our natural hair moist & holds styles, & keeps our bodies smooth."
"I bought a tub of unrefined shea butter from whole foods a while back, and it was of really good quality, but this one has a much cleaner smell and seems much more fresh."
