Cautions & Real‑World Feedback

Potential for clogged pores or breakouts

• Contains fatty alcohols (e.g. cetearyl alcohol) that some with fungal acne or closed comedones may find problematic
• Reddit users report:

“After two days of use … the CeraVe Baby Cream broke me out terribly … fungal acne. Itchy, uniform patches.”

“In south Florida … it never seemed to sink into my skin … always felt like a grease ball … legs/arms absorbed it better than face.”

Though different from the original “CeraVe in the tub,” some note the baby version can also cause congestion in acne-prone users

Texture might feel heavy for oily skin

While it absorbs well on dry skin, oily‑skin users in humid climates sometimes describe it as too heavy or greasy on the face .
