I think I it’s for the bare minimum and can you make a video of why your cruelty free please! :) I know about skincare just not what cruelty is free and the behind of it all
You talk about importance of studies. So how do you have studies that’ll be creulty free?
I like Cerave because I want to be compliant with doctors orders but after I run out, definitely taking some of the cruelty free options for approval. Thanks always for what you do!
Do you have an alternative for the Cerave Resurfacing Retinol Serum? Thank you Big Sister!!
Cerave is exactly what I'm wanting in a skincare brand. Effective, no fragrance, the ability to BUY IN BULK(I hate when brands don't allow that!!), and a great pricepoint. I use their cleansers, moisturizers, and SPF. Then I target other concerns with my retinoid, alpha arbutin, and BHA.
but they test on animals, so it's a no from me.
same thoughts
@@allmapasic5620 Every medicine you use were tested on animals before having human trails. And the covid vaccine was also tested on animals and humans.
@@allmapasic5620 that was my issue.
@@allmapasic5620 no anima testing doesn’t mean a product was ethically sourced, plus, determining something as “cruelty free” is not reliable. Companies pay to use the label and they aren’t inspected to see if it’s true they don’t test on animals most of the time.
I love CeraVe, basic straightforward ingredients without all the added garbage. I want to pay for ingredients that help my skin, not for the bottle that looks good on my shelf.
YOU SAID IT🙌🏼No conspiracy, just a great product & I can afford to buy other fancier products, I’d just rather put it towards my children’s college.
Are you sure that those product are made without garbage? Have you ever chacked about microplastic? Has 3 dangerous microplastics in their products
@@konstantinkostadinov5441 :(
@@konstantinkostadinov5441 I can't stand their products. My skin reacts to it. The body lotion I can handle. But even at that no thanks I'm good. Their face wash their face creams. I don't know what's in their product but my skin immediately tingles. It's like get it off me right now. I tried both of their face washes. All of their products. Ain't happening. No thanks no thanks no thanks. Clean ingredients. I'm laughing. No thanks no how no way. My skin is a great barometer my body doesn't like toxic products. Whatever is in that product, my skin is like nope. I listen to my skin. And of course my inner dialogue crying oh my God this isn't supposed to happen. Nope get it off I'm done. Trash. I wouldn't even hand these products out to other people. Something inside of that stuff is bad. No thanks.
@@MzClementine cosmetics that pass government regulations are not toxic. Get an education and learn what toxic actually means. "Clean" is nonsense junk marketing. I take it you flunked all attempts at learning school science.
As someone with super dry and sensitive skin, I love that I can slather on the cerave cream every night and morning and not feel guilty about the price! The fact that it’s simple and minimal is what works for me. And it doubles as my full body moisturizer and hand cream!
I have sensitive skin and dry skin as well and this didn’t work for me at all. My skin loves ceramide though. I’m glad it worked for you
I completely agree with you Elisah, Cerave saved my skin!
@@ritaevergreen7234 the weirdest thing happened when I first used it, it kinda stung. I still don't know why. I continued use and was fine after that.
@@colleenrawson8477 when my moisture barrier was compromised, EVERYTHING stung. Maybe that’s why!
@@colleenrawson8477 there are many possible reasons why a product can sting or burn on some people th-cam.com/video/aec3ncMsZrg/w-d-xo.html
Well for me it's because dr dray recommended it. Everything she's suggested has really worked out for me in the past.
Same and my skin have never better and I used to spend 10x more on skincare
I absolutely LOVE her channel.
Same!!
Same !

Because after twelve years of adult acne, I finally found products that work extremely well for my skin in conjunction with prescription medication. My dermatologist recommended them. Seriously, I’m 33 years old and this year I’m officially acne free. Cerave is great.
Same in here! I tried all sort of products and cerave face lotion was the only thing that actually helped and it truly changed my skin
@@marianaleontina5195 The same for me. My skin has become at some point so reactive... I couldn't use any skincare product. I tried CeraVe because it has a simple formula and it saved my skin.
Same cerave saved my skin from adult acne
Are CeraVe now sponsoring bot posts?
@@morgianasartre6709 well i dunno but im definitely a real person...and i can say that i went to three different dermatologists and they recommended expensive acne medications but they only worked temporarily (1-3 months) cera ve kept working.
I love cerave-- it's boring, but simple and works for me, no conspiracy here 😅
Does it take off makeup?
@@traciltorres5507 I just saw this comment! I don't use their makeup removers but they have cleansers wipes and an oil-- I use Ponds unscented cold cream to oil cleanse and then wash it off with Vanicream
Small correction: The brand was independent and made by NJ company Valeant, until about 2016/7, when it was purchased by L’Oreal , which rolled it out internationally. It’s simple. It’s accessible. It works. Maybe not for *everyone* but that’s true of everything.
I'd use CeraVe if it wasn't so damn expensive in my country 🤣 CeraVe is considered almost luxury brand here 😂 It's always so funny to see products that are affordable for you out there being one of the most expensive products here.
exactly!!!!!! people in usa/uk are often recommending grand like vichy, la roche posay, avene and etc as “affordable drugstore brands” but here in brazil those brands are as expensive as skinceuticals
Where are u from? Poland?
@@joaogabriel1820 none of those brands are cheap in the US just so you know the people who are saying those are cheap don't know what not being middle class is
@@angelicsailor1st Same in the UK. Even Cerave is like £10 for 200ml of cleanser (Which to me is quite expensive). So many skinfluencers don't understand what the word "Affordabe" really means and just assume that because it's sold in the drug store then it must be affordable when in fact it's not.
@@jenblack98 la roch posay is very pricey here $30 usd (a round 40 pounds) sometimes even high for the better products "affordable" means something different to everyone.
Like you said some think if its drugstore its affordable but it's really not it's just readily available and over priced
Because it works for most people, is easily accessible and wont break the bank????
A 59 year old problem disappeared thanks to CeraVe. Tried EVERYTHING from dermatologists. My daughters have the same skin issue and I was thrilled I could give them a bottle of CeraVe each that helped them.
Now I’m trying out the SA smoothing cream on my scars with a formidable good effect. After several operations the skin around the scar is suffering, the delivery of nutrition to the skin seems to be disturbed, and the skin is always dead, grey and dry. I have tried it all, without any effect. The SA cream dissolves the dead skin cells within hours and lets new soft skin appear. It doesn’t treat the CAUSE which is on a cellular level, but it gives me joy to get rid of the dead grey skin.
Sometimes the least impressive bottles are the ones that is worth gold. Like CeraVe, The Ordinary and Niod.
Same
Do you mind me asking what the skin condition/issue is? I'm always interested in learning more about this type of stuff!
I was recommended Cera Ve in 2006 by my dermatologist and I have used it ever since. It used to be a really well kept secret and very reasonably priced. Now, because of all the hype it is often sold out and the price has skyrocketed. I will still be using it though because it remains my holy grail moisturizer.
amazon always has it available.
I think many of us love it because it's packed with benefits, gentle and respectful to the skin barrier and it's THE MOST AFFORDABLE THING ❤️
We don't "all love it". It actually caused my psoriasis to flare up REALLY badly. I detest CeraVe
Speak for yourself, not all of us love it.
It’s such a shame they’re not cruelty free, I love that they’re affordable and their formulas are not pretentious, when I’m having a really bad skin moment I know I can just use their cleanser and basic moisturiser and I’m good to go without further irritations
cruelty free "dupe" Ceramedx which I am loving.
@@cherylreitz4779 unfortunately living in Europe it’s a nightmare trying to find most brands that are popular and even found at drugstores in the US
@@cherylreitz4779 I love Ceramedex! I just wish they had a larger offering but hopefully that comes with time!
@@nnahler I hear ya plus it is hard to find at least for me. Only place in my area that sells it is Whole Foods and they only sell two of their products. The next closes place is an hr away and it is an independent health food store. They did tell me they are trying to get their products into more stores but it has been hard since you have to "pay" for the shelf space.
@@cherylreitz4779 I believe Target carries it but I just buy on Amazon, I'm one of those people!
Cassandra, I'm always very impressed with how knowledgeable you are and how entertaining/educational your videos are. I am empowered by learning through you. Keep it going, gorgeous!
Yes she is the best.
I was worried about if she gets payed by some brands thou.
But I think even if she gets payed she just honestly recomends what she actually loves for herself
For me, I had tried everything else in the past, and thought CeraVe was kinda boring. One day I decided to give them a try, and-anecdotally-CeraVe just works for me. Sure, I wish they were cruelty free, but their products just work and I even happen to like the packaging.
Cruelty Free CereVe Dupe: *Ceramedx* Ultra Moisturizing Cream, Fragrance-Free
I would love a video on what it actually means to be a “cruelty free” brand
I dont think this is the channel for that. Theres plenty of info out there for that.
@@persia888 it’s probably the person making the videos that decides what kind of content they make and what feedback they want to listen to..
Basically means that they aren't tested on animals, example, normally a large part of an animal is shaved, a cream is only put on one half of that area, it's exposed to radiation for hours that burns the skin on the side without cream, sometimes even the side of the cream will hurt the animal because of chemicals.
Today living tissue can be created where these chemicals can be tested without the need to use animals. Having the "cruelty free" logo doesn't guarantee that it's 100%, it doesn't guarantee that it will not harm animals in other ways, but I think it' a good way to start becoming aware of the problem
I just love how simple and safe their products are, as a tretinoin user I always go for simple fragrance-free ingredients, and it's just perfect for that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My skin and I love CeraVe. There was an actual noticeable difference since I started using it. Living in a hot/humid climate it's not greasy, absorbs right in. Never made me breakout. Used SA cleanser, Resurfacing Serum and Moisturizing Cream on face and all over body.
I like how detailed and unbiased your presentation is.
I love that you're honest about whether products are actually useful based on their ingredients, despite if you like them personally or not. And, sticking to your values! Not accepting money just for the sake of it if they don't follow your value of being cruelty free. Very inspiring!
I just got back from NYC, and the cleanser I brought with me absolutely WRECKED my skin the first night. Just wasn't right for the climate. The next morning I walked down to Walgreens and picked up a CeraVe moisturizing cleanser bar and a bottle of daily moisturizing lotion, and ah the RELIEF. the gentle, no BS ingredients was exactly what my skin needed. I wish I knew about them years ago!
I had the exact same thing happen when I went to NYC to work. I have ALWAYS had crazy super oily skin living in the Deep South. Got to NYC and my skin had a full on temper tantrum, lol.
I absolutely love Cerave because it’s very effective and fair priced I don’t care about packaging what matters is the product working … not it looking pretty on the bathroom counter🙄..those are the products that don’t work 👎🏻 …Cerave Is a dermatologist recommended brand so it’s made to really be effective and help people understand ingredients and what they help with ..and their products are fragrance free.. 👍🏼 Hope Cerave never stops selling 🤗
I mainly use CeraVe because after several years of trying out many products, I finally found something that was compatible with my skin. There is really only one of their products that I'm super obsessed with, and that's the "Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser".
It's my favorite cleanser I've ever used. I've spent so much on cleansers in the past and for it to be so affordable for such a huge bottle I was blown tf away by it
@@zarouliaall5390 100%! It's the only cleanser I've ever repurchased several times
I remember when Cerave was hyped up on social media my Target was out of Cerave products for weeks. I loved the BP Acne Cleanser but had to find something else since it was not in stock. The PM moisturizer was my first face moisturizer I loved years ago. My BF suffers from acne, oily, and sensitive skin so Cerave’s cream cleanser works great for him and always goes back to it when he tries something new. As an affordable no frills this what you get line it’s pretty good.
I've mentioned several times on this channel how much I love the face&body Cerave cream. Started using it yrs ago because I was looking for an affordable cream for my dry skin with mild rosacea. Cerave was at the bottom of my list of creams to try just because I had to order it online, and couldnt get it in store here in Croatia. But when I did get to it, I never stopped. A year ago it finally arrived in stores here, so it's even easier for me to get it. Don't have the urge to try other cerave products just cause I already have, for example, a great afordable cleanser. No need to change it
She’s so educational. Love her videos
I love how your explanation of the moisture barrier and soap just immediately made me think of a cast iron pan.
Cassandra, thank you so much for your beautiful presence! 🦋 Oh yeah! And the information... 😉
I like cerave because it’s simple and affordable, doesn’t irritate my skin.
For my eczema it’s amazing. I’ve tried others and I just keep coming back. It keeps me off steroids. It is widely available and a good price.
Your presentations are always very comprehensive and balanced. Much appreciated, especially your emphasis on cruelty free. Thank you.
I struggled with a huge break out last year, tried different benzoyl peroxide cleansers but was disappointed until I found Cerave's BP cleanser. Hands down best acne cleanser! I noticed and felt the difference within the first week of use!
I never used to use Cera Ve and then I found their SA cleanser and it genuinely made my breakouts nonexistent, and my skin is so soft. I hate brands that try to over-charge for basic products in the makeup and skin industry.
Cerave healed my skin barrier. I'm almost finished with the tub I bought before I went Vegan. Once it is finished I'll switch to QV intensive with ceramides. Its a Australian dupe for Cerave. It is vegan and cruelty free. I tried the Ceramedx and just didn't hydrate my face enough and had some problematic ingredients for those with skin sensitivities.
I have learned SO MUCH watching your videos. I do have my favorite skincare routine which works really well for me but I love how you have no fear in educating all of us and you make so much sense plus you are HILARIOUS to watch. TY!
100 %! I don't think anything is worth buying if it's not cruelty free. Like you said there is always an alternative. I appreciate you so much Cassandra. Can't get enough of your videos. 💗🐶
Cerve was my starting point in good skincare. I was always into skincare but didn't know best. I'm a millennial and i used stridex, st Ives, clean and clear, and sometimes Neutrogena, and no sunscreen thinking i was doing an amazing job because at least i would always wash my face at night. But i have learned thanks to my cousin who became an esthetician and showing me your channel which then showed me other skinfluencers like Dr. drey and Hyram.
I love that you promote using cruelty free 💜
I love that you talk about morals and values.
Thank you for spotlighting Robert Stead and his channel Mad About Skin🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Ive gotten great results from it personally. Ive been using it for years but I only use it overnight and with retinal by the ordinary. Besides that my daytime moisturizer is different except in the winter time. Vanicream facial cleanser has also given great results. I try and keep it simple and have improved my skin a lot!
I like Cera VE products, but also use items from other brands as well, most of which are cruelty free. It has a degree of importance to me but isn't a complete deal breaker. I do hope that they make that move in the future.
I reside in the Upper Midwest with often subzero winter weather and lots of forced air heating and Cera VE has been better than a lot of the products I've tried to combat that.
Ceramedx ....cruelty free "dupe" for CeraVe
@Cheryl Reitz where do you get it, i havnt seen that anywhere
Listening to you speak like this, I feel a lot of respect for you, I admire how firm you are towards your values, principles and beliefs, that not even money can move them…. We need many more honest people like you, may God bless you and continue to fill you with wisdom and more courage than you already have…. you are brave!!!
I would love more videos on aesthetic procedures like hifu, microdermabrasion, chemical peels etc. I adore your channel 😍😍
The wash breaks out my sensitive skin as well as Cetaphil. Not sure why. But! Even though the vast 80% or more of what is in my drawers for skin is cruelty free. I do use cera ve spf 30 w/ ceramides. I have such a hard time finding a sun screen that does not break me out. And a smart girl named Cassandra said that “the right spf is the one that you will use” hehe.
I use several products from CereVe, but I don't use CereVe exclusively. I have to use fragrance free, so finding products that work is a challenge. In the past I've bounced around using the "next big thing" (i.e. the Inkey List) and I'm usually disappointed. CereVe rarely disappoints.
You’re so incredibly thorough. I love it 🥰
I appreciate this video very much. I have acute eczema since childhood and for years my dermatologists were giving me samples and encouraging me to lather in Cetaphil. By the age of 25, living in the Caribbean my skin barrier was so damaged and dry because no matter how much amount of Cetaphil I lathered in the morning or after shower, no matter how many cortisone creams or allergy pills I took, my face and body skin erupted badly. It was after a full allergy test in an Allergist Center that I found I was allergic to many food items including nuts. Cetaphil had Macadamia oil and my allergist suggested to switch to CeraVe. My life changed the moment this happened. Cannot understand why doctors prescribe or encourage these items when they don't work for everybody. No brand is perfect and I wish there were many more natural, eco-friendly options to try and proven by science that do not damage my skin but so far I have not been able to find a brand that meets all the boxes. CeraVe works for me so far but after this video, I am left wondering what other options are out there that care for the planet and earth and are not animal tested, will start researching more... thank you for sharing this.
I love how you stand for cruelty free skin products you are a great example ♥️
Cruelty Free CereVe Dupe: *Ceramedx* Ultra Moisturizing Cream, Fragrance-Free
Thank you so much for calling this out hun.. great video and I hope that this is the year people will really start to think about Cerave and whether it actually works for them or whether they are just buying it because of influencers supporting them.. Cruelty Free rules and I hope 2022 is the year we finally do away with animal testing. Love xxxxx
Cera Ve actually works for me. I have sensitive skin and I don’t buy into hype / fads. I also majored in science for my undergrad degree.
I started using The Inkey list products about a month an a half ago after watching your videos and love, love, love them!! Cruelty free!!! I even gifted my youngest daughter who's 18, my nieces and my younger sister their own skincare routine from the Inkey list for Christmas!!
Have been watching you for years!! Would love to have a video on recommended skincare products for people with allergies like coconut and almond. Thank you!
I had to use it recently, as my normal moisturizer wasn’t handy. I was impressed by the ingredients, but put off by the lack of animal cruelty endorsement. That one should be a no-brainer for any cosmetics company, IMO. As for Skinfluencer culture, I find it deplorable that there are people who know literally nothing about what they’re putting on their skin, but have access to great photography, makeup, lighting and filters, and tens of thousands of people LISTEN to these idiots. It’s mind-boggling. I’m happy to have found this channel. It’s so nice to have a Skinfluencer with a brain and standards! Keep it up!!! Side note - I’m so over L’Oréal buying every decent line out there. Is it every emerging skin company’s exit strategy? SMH.
Hey Cassandra! I love your videos… I’m also an aesthetician and I do like cerave! It’s simple and affordable for many. I add in serums to bump up my skincare, but it works for me ! Keep up the great content!!!!
Cruelty Free CereVe Dupe: *Ceramedx* Ultra Moisturizing Cream, Fragrance-Free
I mean you are totally right with all of this. And I personally think there probably are different products that are better but I have to admit I’ve tried it while I was really struggling with cleansers and the Cerave cleanser just did it for me plus it’s inexpensive. That being said I’ve watched thousands of your videos recently and I am ready to try some of your recommendations and I am super excited ❤️
I love it! I wish i tried it sooner, it seems to have really helped heal my cystic acne scars, i think that's due to the ceramides and the hyaluronic acid. I love how it soaks in nicely and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy like many other moisturisers do. So so wish I'd tried it sooner - can't emphasise that enough!!
I love CeraVe. It is literally the only brand that doesn't break me out. In my country, unfortunately, there is nothing similar to CeraVe, at this price point. I try my best to choose cruelty-free cosmetics, but when it comes to CeraVe, there is simply no alternative where I live.
The same happens for me, it's the only thing that was worked for my keratosis pilaris
I have very sensitive, dry skin but would never try Cerave because it’s not cruelty free and contains petrochemicals that my skin doesn’t like. I’m loving the Ceramedx line, especially the one you listed.
I value this channel so much
Thanks Cassandra for your input on skincare ingredients as I do have allergies which I prefer to check before going through the products.
I'm 45 years old and been using various products (olay, ponds, etc), lol. 😄 Until i discovered proper skincare early this year (yup, at 45 years old!!). And Cerave totally made an amazingly huge difference in my skin.. 💞
Brava👏🏼 cruelty free, anti vivisection! Ty for using ur powerful platform for shining a light on this issue. I have lupus and extremely dry skin and the 🦋 rash across my nose. I’ve tried pretty much every label out there, nothing seems to work as good as baby oil and Vaseline 🤦🏻♀️ugh Ik I need to graduate from that.
Nah if it works for you why change 😀
@@LauralHill77 Because she has ethics.
I’m glad I discovered Cerave. I got into skincare around a year ago, and cerave’s cleansers were the first ones to not sting my skin, and instead, deliver the results I’ve wanted. They are effective and cheap
I used and tried to love it because of the hype but even on my 65 year old skin I experience burning with the cleanser and day lotion. But for some reason was able to use the night lotion. I am excited to try one of your recommendations.
I love CeraVe. My sensitive skin reacts to other moisturizers (even for sensitive skin) but CeraVe is just a soothing, cooling cream. But I love animals so it's the inkey list next
Looking forward for this one, i like the products and they worked great for me, but it's just a skin care brand, one of many, no need for people to obsess over it😅
I like CeraVe cream in the cooler months. It keeps the dry skin on my torso, arms and legs feeling healthier and looking much better, as well as helping my eczema and occasional morphea. The cream is a little heavy for hotter months, but the lotion, as well as other products with ceramides, work best in the summer. I also like the price point. I think L’Oreal bought CeraVe in 2017 or 2018, but checking the ingredients of a new jar agains one hiding in the recesses of the bathroom cabinet for quite a while, the ingredients seem the same. Thanks for an excellent rundown.
I started using CeraVe after watching Dr. Dray about a year ago. I had not seen a friend for several months. When we finally got together she asked me what I had done "dermalogically" I laughed and replied "I wish!' She literally thought I had something done to my face because me skin looked so good. Literally, the only change I made was using CeraVe SA cleanser (with my Clarisonic *gasp*) and the regular moisturizer. Never going back to over priced skin care. New to your channel - thanks for the information!
I like them,it is affordable and does work
here we don't have a lot of skin care brends,a lot of them are incredibly expensive or well bad
so it is nice to have one that is good for my skin and my bank account
I wasn't till I got one. Now I'm hypnotized. They are magical.
I love your videos. You are very honest in your statements
Hi! Loreal is now cruelty-free. Does anyone happen to know if this applies to all of the brands they've acquired, including Cerave? Additionally, China does make some exceptions in terms of animal testing for well-tolerated ingredients. All of this seems like a confusing grey area. Would love to get some more facts. Thanks for all the information.
My whole skin was basically acne free but my chin. I ended up switching my lotions and picked up Cerave, it cleared my chin acne within a week or so. I love it so much😩
Hi , could you please share witch products did you use ?
I'm having exactly same issue, mostly acne free but my chin.
@@sandragacesa4988 I used to use cetaphil, i used to love it but I switched my lotions once they came out with their new formula. It felt more thick and oily which lead to my breakouts.
I also use paula choice exfoliant Wednesday’s and Sunday’s.
Hope it helps :)
@@SolieNails Thank you 🤍
Great information. I was actually going to buy some because as I’ve gotten older, my skin has become so sensitive plus the price is right.
Great case study for my business class - we’re doing the marketing & new medias at the mo - thank you 😊
I was diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and a month of radiation turned perfectly good skin into the consistency of fried chicken. CeraVe was recommended by the docs who said to keep my breast always extremely slathered in moisturizer.
I hope you heal quickly. Have you asked your doctor about taking the supplement L-Glutamine? I take it for digestive issues but read it can help people recover from surgery, radiation treatment, burns, or muscle recovery. It's an amino acid.
Praying for you. 🙏🏻❤️ My mom is battling breast cancer, too. You got this 💪
Kathy are you using the cerave ? I was reading about parbens and breast cancer and the cerave has methyparaben
@@lisagardner4814 I haven’t seen that. Is it supposed to cause cancer- cause I didn’t use it till radiation. Guess I won’t get any more. Thanks.
@@kathygann7632 yes unfortunately there had been a link with parabens and breast cancer . I’m sure if you Google it there will be some info , good luck , did the cream work for you tho ? I have the worst chapped hands ever
Honestly if there's any brand I'm suspicious of in the "skin-influencers" world it will be ( The Inkey List ) they're mega releasing products with very vague percentages, their products are always out of stock, the worst part is everyone keeps praising talking nonstop about their products claiming they're the unsung hero that saved their skin, I'm so over seeing them in YT videos, I'm glad Sarah over NoBsBeauty pointed all of that out in one of her videos, I think Rob over Mad about Skin did another video about them so that's a sort of relief I guess to c ppl r noticing what's happening with them
I put The Ordinary over The Inkey List all day any day. TIL formulates its products to lighter textures so that they give a better feeling when applied. Other than that, The Ordinary wins every other aspect. Talking potency, variety of products, informativeness, etc.
@@jivillain strongly agree ❤
@@jivillain agree 100%.
Yes, I’ve tried to love The Inkey List but their products felt like they were lower quality compared to The Ordinary. I started to side eye the people who were trying so hard to discredit TO
yes!! i also hate how they’re lumped in with all of the affordable brands, when a lot of what they sell is so small that it ends up being way more expensive :/
Love you Cassandra! Awesome helpful video as always. Thank you you are Awesome!❤ 💖
Cerave is changing my life.
I love their products.
I love CeraVe, well my skin does, as much as I am trying to go cruelty free, every moisturiser irritates me, breaks me out, or something else..... tried half of products you have recommended instead of CeraVe in other video (other half gets too expensive to get shipped to here), but time and time I find myself going back to CeraVe. So I think CeraVe is popular, because its very price accessible and it does what its says it does.
I really love the Hydrating cleanser because my dry, flaky, dehydrated skin loves it especially in the AM
I'm one of the people who never knew about Cerave until I heard the influences talking about it. I tried it and I LOVE IT. I love the simple ingredients and it's not irritating to my skin. I'm 53 and Skincare has been important to me so I've always invested $$$ into what I thought should be good & beneficial products. Some were great, some not. I'm thrilled to have discovered Cerave and plan to keep using it because I like it so much.
I really am thankfull that I found your channel “by accident”. I’m from The Netherlands, sorry if my english isn’t that good, and had always isseus with my skin. I watched so mant hours the past few weeks of you and I’m really thankfull that I have found the products of The Inkey List, Dermalogica and The Ordinairy. I wanted to go fragance free and I made the step to go fot cruelty free for all my cosmestics. I replaced everything🙈
So thank you again Cassandra for teaching me to Turn & Learn❤️❤️
(Inkey list and ordinairy are not expensive here. Dermalogica is a little bit more)
I love cerave, swear by it. For me, the simplicity of the ingredients is what really calmed down my skin. I used to use so many serums, and was that person that implemented a 10 step skin care routine. But simple is actually better. The SA cleanser is really a game changer, I used to have spots and bumps on my forehead and they’re all gone. Like the skin on my face is one smooth surface now thanks to it 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love cerave and I’ve been using more of their products and have been falling in love with them.
Thank you so much for this!! Exactly what I wanted to know after witnessing the uptick on social media, regarding this product. I’m curious what do you think about the other old product, Aquaphor? It’s been getting a lot of new hype lately!
I've never tried Cera Ve because I only buy cruelty free and vegan products. Luckily in Australia we have two brands, Ego Pharmaceuticals (who make QV products) and Dermaveen, who fit in with my ethics and sell really gentle, soothing products with ceramides.
I love Dermaveen! Moisturizers with Spf50 and many other products.. and so affordable. Please don't tell the Americans about Dermaveen hahahah 🤣
@@joannelee6403 SO affordable! I recently replaced my old night creme with a Dermaveen moisturiser - $20 for 250ml! I can now afford more Korean serums!
@@JutaStokes that's exactly how I rationalize my spending on facial care 😅
I may be wrong but I believe CeraVe does not test on animals themselves, but they do sell in countries that require their products to be tested, but for the United States they do not test. So the testing is third party as they want to sell in places like China. It becomes a moral grey area because in order for the brand to stop testing entirely then have to stop selling to entire countries which would limit access to people who may need the products.
It is not unreasonable to ask brands to stop selling to countries that require animal testing or to enter into new agreements that prohibit animal testing. I believe this is happening with some brands that do business with China for this very reason (i.e., consumers don't want to support animal testing and China doesn't want to lose access to these goods). But to your point, it's not a moral grey area. For example, if you pay a company tthat happens to have someone shoot dogs for them in another country, you're still responsible because you gave the company money, which they used to support their dog-shooting practices. Your dollar is your vote, so if you give your money to companies that test on animals, you're saying it's okay and that there are no economic incentives for them to stop testing on animals.
I love the cleansers by Cereve as well as the retinol serum! My skin has never been better, and I haven't spent less money on products in a long time.
I have used for years for eczema. For a while I thought it was discontinued I could not find it anywhere at the onset of the pandemic...this explains it!
Although it wasn’t until very recent that I had bought skincare from drugstore…I am with those who don’t know what the hype is; however after hearing Hyram sing it’s praises abundantly I was in a pinch and needed some skincare so I decided to try it. Don’t know why it has the following it does, but I am not a fan of CereVe since it did nothing for my skin.XOXOXO
I started using Cera Ve in 2020 when I was on accutane and since I haven't dared using anything else. I've been suffering from acne for 10 years (Acne free for 1) and I still have that fear that anything could cause it to come back :')
I love Cerave, I started using their products when I developed contact dermatitis. And I love how affordable and accessible it is.
The body lotion can also be used on the face and I LOVE it. I have oily, acne prone skin, but since I started using Cerave retinol and lotion my skin has improved dramatically. I still get breakouts, but not nearly as often and a lot of my scarring and pores have been significantly decreased. I think they need to dramatically improve the quality of their SPFs though. The SPFs are either too heavy and greasy feeling or too light and don’t feel even slightly hydrating. They definitely need to improve that category.
Great video Cassandra! Cera VE was the first skincare brand I tried for my acne, but it completely broke me out. I got a ton of whiteheads all over my face within a few days of using it. I never really scrutinized the ingredients and just switched to something else. But now I am really curious what could have caused my whiteheads since this brand works so well for many people.
It is the one brand that breaks out my skin like crazy.
I hate the cerave cleansers (they burn) but love the Cetaphil one. No clue why... But sometimes skincare is just a tad iffy/weird ime (it might be a super small difference between the two. Beautypedia says that my preferred cleanser is a bit too harsh but soo many of what they call "gentle cleansers" sting/burn! 🤷🏼♀️). 😅
@@teresachapman205 I think it's because there is petroleum in there which can clog pores to some people.
@@safaamemon9006 aveenos dermexa cream contains petrolatum as well and my skin likes that one but not cerave
CeraVe did not work for me. It actually dried out my skin and I did break out a lot. The skin cream you would have thought would be moisturizing, not on my skin once the cleanser stripped everything off. I went through the entire line of CeraVe products for two years hoping something would work. I gave up and went to a expensive high end line with some added serums. Face is pretty much clear. My out of control oil problem is manageable. It’s not the wonder product people think. It’s overhyped. Yes, it’s going to work for some people. But it won’t work for all people.
I enjoy the facial cleansers by Cera Ve but I REALLY wish they were cruelty free! Thanks for always sharing alternatives - I will check them out!
Me too the cleansers work so well on sensitive skin!
Aren’t most of the medicines are tested on animals?
Yes, I wish everything is cruelty fee. But still love CereVe.
lol never really understood the cruelty free movement I mean sure you care so much about animals but you are willing to buy something made in China that is basically made by slave labor... or the chocolate we buy from the store (look at netflix documentary Rotten) again basically slave labor --> the brainwashing 😂😂😂
@@SPQRapid I guess they dnt know that slave labour thing and they just wanna feel like doing something good.
@@Agape122 true, but IMO we live in a society out of sight out of mind.
We didn't have cerave before in my country. Then loreal bought it and WHABAM! it's everywhere!!
Thanks for making an educational honest video. I respect you for standing for your principles. I often wondered about Cerave. Interesting that L'Oreal owns Cerave, and I also learned recently that it also owns La Roche Posay that has such amazing products. Now I wonder about La Roche Posay. It is a monopoly.
I love cerave! It's amazing! It's simple it's effective and it's affordable. I also love cicaplast baume by la Roche posay and some avene products. The simpler the better.
