It kind of works???
I’ve been using this for a while now and it feels like it makes my skin hydrated and smoother but only for a bit

Not one of CeraVe's better products. I bought this (along with their eye cream) on vacation when I left all my skincare behind at an AirBnB (tragedy!) and didn't want to replace it all at inflated tourist-area prices. I used it for the two weeks I was on vacation and it did nothing - my face didn't feel particularly hydrated. There are better serums out there.

I have tried many facial oils and never found one my skin likes. This oil is the one my skin really enjoys. I mix it into products. Usually, Stratia Lipid Gold and it feels really good. It's a nice protective barrier before I apply moisturizer. I have really dry, sensitive skin. I took one star off because the dropper is the bane of my existence. It always manages to come off.

used as quick fix for redness, only half a day effect, rec using ordinary caffeine eye product on the face instead for a bit longer effect but still not long-lasting, need to use both all the time to keep the effect
