I love stratia Lipid Gold (formally Liquid Gold) but incorrect to say that Stratia is similar in price to Cerave. First Stratia doesn't make 2oz or the 4oz sizes anymore, their products are now 1.7oz and 3.4oz. The 1.7oz is $27 while the 3.4oz is $50, Cerave Night cream is about $14 for the 2oz and $15 for the 3oz. In terms of value per price there is no comparison.
I also like Vanicream Daily Moisturizer, Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cream, Celimax Dual Barrier Skin Wearable Cream, The Ordinary NMF + Phytoceramides, elf Pure Skin Moisturizer, and Purito Dermide Balancing Barrier Balm and the sleeping pack in the same line. I used to like the Ceramedx line, but my skin developed a sensitivity to it. The Pacifica vegan ceramide line isn’t heavy enough for my skin. And if you’re allergic to lanolin, verify with the manufacturer that the cholesterol they use doesn’t come from lanolin. Not all ceramide products do.
I love the Purito dermide relief barrier moisturizer which contains ceramides as well. It's so rich but not heavy at the same time and it's about $20 for 100 ml !
I have to comment on the Skin1004 Probio Cica Enrich cream. For me, it only seems thick during application, but once applied it feels light and doesn’t feel greasy at all, I wore it all last summer and have been trying to finish my winter moisturizers so I can return to it. FYI, I have mature, somewhat dry/dehydrated skin made more sensitive by rosacea.
Illiyoon Ceramide ATO Concentrate Cream, bought the 500ml jar. I use it for face and body. The Stratia Lipid Gold is a must for me in every routine, but too light as a moisturizer for me. Many blessings!!!💖💖💖
Love Stratia Lipid Gold! Also Illiyoon Ultra Repair Intensive Cream is a thick heavy ceramide rich expensive feeling cream.. almost 7 ounces for 13 dollars! It’s worth every cent ❤
I was honestly disappointed with the skinfix triple lipid cream. It left me looking like a grease ball and broke me out. I love the illyoon ceramide ato concentrate cream. It's amazingly thick and moisturizing. And the finish is my favorite of any moisturizer I've tried. Just a very soft glow
I ADORE the Pacifica Barrier Cream- I rotate between that and the Peach and Lily Peptide Pro moisturizer-and I am also terrified that it’s getting discontinued 😨😭 I have 2 unopened ones under the cabinet, and I may stock up more 😅 just in case! They just recently reformulated their body sprays (which I LOVED) and the new formula are horrible 😩 so I have no idea what’s going on 😢 SKIN1004 has always been a HOLY GRAIL brand for me. I love their serums!
Hi Sarah, Does the peach tint of G&G Happy Barrier cream or the Stratia LG, stain? I wear this at night & I’m worried about it potentially staining pillowcases, sheets/PJs. Has this happened to you with either? Getting ready to place a G&G order before they run out of my serum again so hoping you may see this before I do. Which is your fave unscented of all these is most lightweight for summer while still being moisturizing? From what I’ve read, Skinfix cream is a bit on the thicker for nighttime side which I would normally like, except in this HEAT! 🥵🔥 Thx.🙏
My current favorite ceramide cream is the Bioheal Boh Ceramune a hydrating Cream 🤩 It is thick but not greasy and absorbs well into the skin. I strongly recommend!
Unfortunately most of these cost more for less product. Most of the Gold Bond moisturizers contain ceramides for between $6-$9, depending on the retailer. I love the Pure Moisture one. Off-topic, I really like Peach Slices Snail Rescue All-in-One Deep Moisture. No ceramides, but just about everything else.
@@ainakunigelyteGold Bond is a drugstore brand. Decent affordable products. Apparently cruelty free, but unsure about vegan. @COgirl394, when the price is this low, you can be sure that the concentration of actives is minimal. Just enough to make a claim on the packaging, but not enough to be effective. They're great general moisturizers though.
I like the way Stratia Lipid Gold feels on my skin, but it'd be great if they update the packaging. The letters on the bottle itself rub completely off over time. For that reason alone I might switch back to Skinfix.
I like the GG Happy Barrier and just bought the Ceramide cream from Theramid, seems pretty nice as well (in fact I bought quite a bunch of Theramid products, the peptides and copper peptides, and also the antioxidant, hopefully they will work well together). I don't like Cerave products, whatever I tried I was not impressed.
I love using the Prequel Barrier Therapy ceramide moisturizer. It has 1% colloidal oatmeal as well and is a great bargain for the size! Would love to hear your thoughts on the brand :)
We get Face Facts here in Ireland; they do dupes of CeraVe with much better and cruelty free formulations that are a fraction of the cost of CeraVe. They have a Hydrating Cleanser with Ceramides & Oats which is in a huge pump bottle (exactly like Cerave) - just 4 euros in the discount store. They have a marvellous selection that doesn't aggravate sensitive or oily skin. But they're probably unavailable in the US!
I bought the Kopari cream for 50% off during Ulta 21 DOB. Its very moisturizing and spreads easily, but I felt it was too heavy and greasy for my combo/oily skin and would run into my eyes which was annoying. $42 is high for a moisturizer (tho it's 60 ml) so I would only invest in it for dry skin.
My mom's mature skin is even more dry now because of a health issue so I've been researching creams. How is the purito deep sea cream? Btw, I really appreciate that you post prices. I hate when you hear about something you like then find out its expensive.
It really surprises me how many good and affordable products there are out there. I remember when my mom was going through chemo how dry and sensitive her skin became. One thing that is worth checking out is the cosrx snail cream - going back to chemo snail mucin was actually tested and researched for it's benefits for skin that is dry from things like chemo and radiation. The Ceramiaid Cream is also wonderful for extremely dry and sensitive skin. The Purito Deep Sea Cream is nice as well- a little less thick and occlusive than the others but very nice because it will work well for daytime routines as well as evening. No fragrance in it either and it has some soothing ingredients like panthenol and allantoin.
I didn't care for the Pacifica. Too matte and not enough hydration. However, looooove the Stratia Liquid Gold and recently purchased the Mary and May Idebenone...cream! I loved that! Hydrating and not overly occlusive! I wonder though 🤔 does anyone know I'd I can pair that with copper peptides??? And my favorite budget is Vanicream Daily Facial moisturizer (not the SPF one) lovely hydration without being heavy💗Wow, kinda got wordy there😆😂🤣Have a beautiful weekend, and God bless you, camera man💗
I prefer as matte as possible, so this is good info, thanks :) I'm not into this trend of looking greasy... And I love Pacifica, I only buy vegan and cruelty free.
I had high hopes for the Pacifica. I did finish the bottle but it took a long time because I was forcing myself to use it. Not sure why because my sensitive skin was fine with it. I just think it wasn't nourishing enough And I wasn't a fan of the scent. I also used up the elf pure skin but won't repurchase. The Vanicream in the tub It's thick but too basic for my 47-year-old skin. My favorite is still Walmart's equate daily moisturizing lotion in the pump bottle. I can't believe it's 6.88. I use it on my hands too and since it's so cheap I can really layer a lot it on my face after my toners and serums. It's a cerave dupe but not identical, it's better. I can even put it on my lips and it's so soothing. I will cry if it gets discontinued.
How nice for you to find something that works great but also have it be so affordable! Cannot go wrong with that. I like the Vanicream but more for my neck and decollete areas.
I’m incredibly sorry to ask off topic, but I was going to purchase the G&G retinal as my first retinal. Unfortunately the Australian stockist won’t get any in for a few months. I was looking into getting the wishtrend retinal ( it has 0.03% retinal). Should I just start with that for now? Did you find it helpful at all? Or should I just deal with having to pay a LOT more and get the G&G a-game directly from their site? Is the wishtrend retinal helpful at all? I could also get the avene 0.1 retinal but was concerned about the strength ( I have heard however that due to how it’s formulated, it’s incredibly gentle… ). Thank you so much for these! I am definitely interested in these as it’s coming into winter here in Australia! So many products from skin1004 sound fantastic!
@@Akindmind-oe7ol thank you so incredibly much for taking the time to reply! I had a look into that option too. I may as well just get the G&G straight from the retailer directly as the price of the naturium is a bit pricey over here in Australia unfortunately. I just discovered that apparently the naturium 0.05 retinal is actually more like 0.025 due to its delivery system apparently. Thought I would mention it as I found it interesting! Seriously, thank you SO incredibly much for taking the time to reply though- I’m so grateful you helped a stranger ☺️
@@paigeme886 How about the polular K-beauty product Revive eye serum Ginseng + Retinal by the brand Beauty of Joseon. It contains 30 ml (twice the size of many eyecremes) and contains a 2% retinal liposome-stabilised complex including 0.02% of retinal itself. The brand states that it's formulated to minimise skin irritation. I use it under my eyes but some use it all over their faces as their main retinol product. I am European, so I don´t know how much it costs in Australia/to have it shipped to Australia, but most consider it at great product at a good price including myself.
When I 1st started retinols I damaged my skin barrier buying commercial products. So I ended up going to see my dermatologist who put me on a prescription retinol which has actually saved me tons of $$$. Been using it for many many years now with no problems except for when I try to introduce strong exfoliants. So I would just advise you to be really careful, ALWAYS DO PATCH TEST & START SLOW AND LOW.
I don't care for CeraVe moisturizer and sometimes it burns my skin. I do like Peach & Lily barrier moisturizer but I will say I like their new moisturizer better. I swear I'm the only person who doesn't like Stratia Lipid Gold. It was too late to return mine so it went to the trash. I didn't like the way it smelled and I didn't find the texture elegant plus it turned me yellow lol
I should do a video on this topic. I had great luck with the Versed Press Restart Retinol Body Lotion. I also enjoyed the Paula's Choice Retinol Body Treatment as well as the Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion. The biggest thing is to be careful in the sun because it will make your skin more sensitive to sun exposure.

I’ve tried a few items from Ceramedex and been very pleased! I have sensitive skin and it was great to have this low cost option.
Yup, I use Ceramedx and it's wonderful! Vegan and cruelty free.
I have the Skin 1004 on the way. I'm in Phoenix 🌵 dry as dust except for late summer fir two months.

Do u like the eucerin co Q enzyme cream?
I think I've tried the nighttime version with retinol and it was nice- no issues with it, I will have to check out their other version of it as well.
Cerave is boring and overrated IMO
I like your picks!
New serum from G&G? Ooh goodie!
Skin1004 has a nice sleeping mask in their hyalu-cica line!
Why there wasn't Isntree Yam Root cream on the list? It also has ceramides.
That is a good one as well- used it a lot this past winter and never disappointed me!
Stratia 27 dollar is 1.7oz, the 3.4oz is way more expensive
I'd love to hear an honest review on Moroccan oil (for hair). I think its rubbish and cheaply made, overpriced but I'd like to hear from someone else.
I have found so many inexpensive moisturizers better than Cereve.
