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.

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.

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.

@ladycaticorn2950

Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

Your presentations are always very comprehensive and balanced. Much appreciated, especially your emphasis on cruelty free. Thank you.

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

I love that you talk about morals and values.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

I would love more videos on aesthetic procedures like hifu, microdermabrasion, chemical peels etc. I adore your channel 😍😍

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 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.

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 ❤️

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'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’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

Love you Cassandra! Awesome helpful video as always. Thank you you are Awesome!❤ 💖

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

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.. 💞

Love you Cassandra!

simply the best!

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 just started using this after several years of suffering rosacea and dermatitis and within a week my face looks completely different! I’m grateful for this product bc nothing else has worked! I’ve tried other fragrance free face lotions and they burned but this makes my skin so soft and I have zero reactions to it!

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, 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 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!

Thank u boo..wonderful video

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 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.

Honestly I'm not sure you can really overhype a product that's affordable and effective for the vast majority of users. Is there a product/brand that's truly more accessible and beloved than the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion? Hard to overhype the best (in the simplicity and accessibility realm at least), right?

Thanks Cassandra for your input on skincare ingredients as I do have allergies which I prefer to check before going through the products.

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 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

Thank you for supporting cruelty free products. I will look into yr video for reccomendation x

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.

Fantastic video, thank you ! I stopped using neutrogena because of your information and now I will stop using CeraVe animals are the best.

I love it !!!!

Annoyed that I’m not going to get the time I spent watching this video back. Cereve has changed my skin in the last year and a half. I use their face wash and night lotion with sunscreen in the day, that’s all. It’s super affordable, fragrance free and straight to the point. Nothing you listed as a cereve alternative is as affordable as Cereve.

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 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 love cerave and I’ve been using more of their products and have been falling in love with them.

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.
