“CeraVe actually held their prices in the US, but here in the UK it's roughly double the price, so [...] there was definitely an element of price gouging going on. And for sensitive skin people, packing all of their products full of niacinamide can cause a lot of problems, with reformulations triggering sensitivity reactions.”
▶17:00“For moisturizer immediately after shaving, I recommend plain moisturizers like [CeraVe] or Cetaphil.”
▶7:32“I made the switch away from CeraVe because the price just kept creeping up every time I took my eyes away from it. It was like the Doctor Who don't blink episode, no joke.”
▶2:38“Go in with your ceramide moisturizer, something like CeraVe, for example. Do this protocol for 12 weeks. You should start to see lightening.”
▶6:12“I might recommend [CeraVe] or [PanOxyl], for example, and that's going to be less than $20.”
▶2:55“I love Aveeno, CeraVe. [...] The formulas are super hydrating. It's so good, [...] it just gives that glowy skin and that hydration. It's always worked good for my spray tans.”
▶32:07“CeraVe's acne control cleanser is great to use as an exfoliating cleanser with salicylic acid, and you can also find benzoyl peroxide cleansers [...] as CeraVe, which are great cleansers to alternate by the day to help exfoliate and keep your pores clear without destroying your skin's moisture barrier.”
▶4:16“Like if you go through say a brand like [CeraVe] for example, most of their facial moisturizers are going to have [dimethicone] in it”
▶4:22“I love CeraVe for very mature and dry necks. It has ceramides to help repair and strengthen your skin barrier, shea butter or squalane to soften and smooth your skin overall, especially as you start to feel rougher around the edges or even at the top of your chest on the bone. And white paraffin and petrolatum, which are really thick and powerful occlusives to seal in hydration.”
▶9:23“I went from using Vaseline to [Aquaphor] to CeraVe to Prequel because each of them was more elegant than its predecessor.”
▶8:10“CeraVe is my favorite skincare brand. I love that the products are affordable, fragrance-free, and they work, and it's the brand I recommend the most to my patients, at least a dozen times a day. I have been disappointed by a CeraVe product before, and I don't think CeraVe dupes work as well as the real thing.”
▶6:22“Younger consumers aren't going to pay $30 for a basic cleanser from Clinique when they get something more effective from CeraVe or all the other competitors for half the price”
▶23:57“I like CeraVe. It's just clean, washes off clean because you want this stuff, the active stuff, to go on clean dry skin.”
▶17:29“CeraVe is another great affordable brand. You don't need to spend $200 on a vitamin C serum to find one that works great; you just have to spend $12 and get one that works.”
▶7:27“All my friends in Australia anything drug store related CeraVe Cetaphil Neutrogena Olay Chemist Warehouse authorized distributor”
▶13:36“I was using seravee first because I just didn't know what to do”
▶41:34“Something like CeraVe is so popular because it's providing those ceramides for the outer layer, but you can do that very easily by just including squalane on the skin and that will really help things.”
▶5:52“I'm not a fan of sah V I just find that it kind of pels up on the skin doctors and derms do recommend it um but it's not cruelty-free either”
▶3:40“I think CeraVe is a good start, it's not my favorite. It's definitely very budget-minded, which for a lot of people is really good. [...] I think the good thing with CeraVe is you don't have a lot of fragrance, so people don't have as much reaction to something like that. But at the same time, [...] if you can afford better products then I would encourage you to look into those. If you can't, then that's okay. I think they're reasonable.”
▶14:48“We do like CeraVe good gentle skincare”
▶1:34“I really like ones from like CeraVe, Cetaphil, Vanicream, then go ahead and use a moisturizer of choice.”
▶9:55“In general, big brands like CeraVe make pretty much the safest products you can buy. I think a lot of people forget to do a reality check when they accuse giant brands of trying to kill them. These big beauty companies hire tons of scientists. If it was this easy for someone who has zero science background to just pick up a product and look at the ingredient list and tell that it's unsafe, they wouldn't have released this product. It would just not happen.”
