Which CeraVe moisturizer is best for very dry and flaky skin?

Hi everyone, my skin has been really dry and tight lately, especially after washing my face, and I keep hearing people recommend the CeraVe moisturizer range. I've seen the moisturising cream in the tub and the daily moisturizing lotion in the pump bottle, but I can't figure out which one suits dry, flaky skin better. Has anyone here used a CeraVe moisturizer for a few weeks? I'd like to know whether it absorbs well, feels greasy, and works under makeup or sunscreen. Also, which size gives the best value for daily use? Real experiences would help a lot before I buy. Thanks in advance!

The one in the pump is very light and thin and I didn’t like it. I use the moisturising cream in the big blue and white tub on my face and body and love it, it’s got rid of some flaky areas I used to have on my face (I also used Vaseline at night on some very flaky bits). I also use the hydrating cream to foam cleanser. I don’t feel at all greasy with this routine and apply my cc cream etc over it fine.
