For Dry Skin "I used CeraVe lotion all over my body and broke out in hives! Everywhere I scratch, there were lines raised-definitely an allergic reaction. They should put something on the bottle saying that there is a chance that you could be allergic to this type of lotion. But they make it sound so benign. I'm absolutely miserable, and it's been 4 days since I applied the CeraVe lotion. Still have hives. 5 showers later!"

For Dry Skin "I had a reaction to red wine! CeraVe helped for two days. After that, my face turned blood red, hot, and became dry and flaky! I don’t know what to do to heal it! I used it for 1 week. My face is horrible now!"
