I'm writing this for my husband, but we both love this product! We both have very sensitive skin and will breakout easily with heavy products. He loves that it has no scent at all. This moisturizer is super light-weight and doesn't leave my skin or his skin greasy at all. My husband was using Clinique's men moisturizer before this, and he's definitely hooked on this one now! :) I like stealing it morgbullard · ambi.com

The CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion is one of my all-time favorite night moisturizers. It has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, and it leaves my skin soft and hydrated throughout the night. I really appreciate that it contains niacinamide and ceramides, which help strengthen the skin barrier and calm any redness or irritation. It’s fragrance-free, which makes Sandra G · influenster.com
