Creams are heavier than lotions. Creams are for skin that may be extra dry or for extra dry patches. If you have oily skin or combination skin I would stay away from creams as most of them are oil based.
I tend to use creams on "problem areas" like my knees, elbows, and feet. Most people can get away with lotions on their face instead of creams; however if you live in an area with harsh winter weather, and tend to suffer dry skin during the winter a cream may help you out.

Creams are have a thicker consistency which is helpful for really dry, cracked skin. Drawbacks is that creams may clog pores. A great face lotion is Olay complete multiradiance moisturizer. It's a top ranked product.

Creams are richer and thicker, probably better for drier skin or during colder weather.
Lotions tend to be more lightweight.
