Yes, huge fan of their products.  Been using their body cream for years now.  It's really good and unscented which I like because it doesn't compete with any fragrance you wear.  I also use their foaming face wash as the second part of my double cleanse at night if I'm wearing makeup.  I've used their retinol serum which is excellent too and a bargain at $16.00.  I just bought their cleansing balm.  It came in a small jar which was weird but the directions say to use a pea size. Kind of hard to believe, but we'll see.  Haven't tried it yet.

Where did you get your information from? The CeraVe website states they do not test on animals.

@CatsOnMyLap CeraVe, Cetaphil, Aquaphor, and Eucerin— not cruelty-free. These companies haven’t signed PETA’s statement of assurance to join the  standard for cruelty-free certifications  CeraVe sells products in Brazil and mainland China, which up until 2021 had legal requirements for animal testing on imported cosmetics. While these laws are slowly changing, companies that are committed to being cruelty free don’t directly sell products in these regions.

I've never used a CeraVe product until recently when I bought the makeup remover balm. A dermatologist I follow on YouTube does not like anything in that line. The makeup removing balm works just as well as Huda Beauty but I miss the fragrance from Huda.

My skin is ultra-dry, I live in a hot, dry climate and my skin is super sensitive as well. I have used CeraVe products for years. I recently added the Night Cream into the mix and am glad I did! Probably a bit heavy for others, but it makes a huge impact for me.

I've used CeraVe moisturizer - the PM Ultra Lite - for more years than I can count.  Wouldn't use anything else at this point in my life.  I apply it over my Vit C serum in the morning, and my Retinol serum in the evening.  So many moisturizers are heavy or too oily or cause my sensitive skin grief. 

Oh, and CeraVe is cheap at Walmart!

I just got a 19 oz pump  size of the hydrating cleanser on ebay for only $13.

An alternative to the CeraVe w/o petro is Vanicream Daily Moisturizer. Has no petro. Vanicream has no vitamin E either which can clog pores for some people.
