VR Dr. Vanita Rattan Approved
“Go in with your ceramide moisturizer, something like CeraVe, for example. Do this protocol for 12 weeks. You should start to see lightening.”
Dr. Vanita Rattan reviewing CeraVe on YouTube6:12
D Doctorly Approved
“I might recommend [CeraVe] or [PanOxyl], for example, and that's going to be less than $20.”
Doctorly reviewing CeraVe on YouTube2:55
MM Mixed Makeup Approved
“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.”
Mixed Makeup reviewing CeraVe on YouTube32:07
MA Mad About Skin Skip
“A lot of brands cough cough CeraVe talk about ceramides all the time actually have really low concentrations in most of their products. Very shady. We don't like don't make your whole marketing about an ingredient and not do it in a good dose is my view.”
Mad About Skin reviewing CeraVe on YouTube16:20
DS Dr. Daniel Sugai Approved
“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.”
Dr. Daniel Sugai reviewing CeraVe on YouTube4:16
D Dr Dray Approved
“Like if you go through say a brand like [CeraVe] for example, most of their facial moisturizers are going to have [dimethicone] in it”
Dr Dray reviewing CeraVe on YouTube4:22
SI Dr. Shereene Idriss Approved
“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.”
Dr. Shereene Idriss reviewing CeraVe on YouTube9:23
SO Skin Obsessed Mary Approved
“I went from using Vaseline to [Aquaphor] to CeraVe to Prequel because each of them was more elegant than its predecessor.”
Skin Obsessed Mary reviewing CeraVe on YouTube8:10
JW James Welsh Approved
“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”
James Welsh reviewing CeraVe on YouTube23:57
DC Darnell Cox | 50+ Healthy Aging Expert Approved
“I like CeraVe. It's just clean, washes off clean because you want this stuff, the active stuff, to go on clean dry skin.”
Darnell Cox | 50+ Healthy Aging Expert reviewing CeraVe on YouTube17:29
NB No BS Beauty Approved
“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.”
No BS Beauty reviewing CeraVe on YouTube7:27
NK Nipun Kapur Approved
“All my friends in Australia anything drug store related CeraVe Cetaphil Neutrogena Olay Chemist Warehouse authorized distributor”
Nipun Kapur reviewing CeraVe on YouTube13:36
SB Dr Sam Bunting Skip
“I was using seravee first because I just didn't know what to do”
Dr Sam Bunting reviewing CeraVe on YouTube41:34
SS Dr. Somji Skin Approved
“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.”
Dr. Somji Skin reviewing CeraVe on YouTube5:52
CB Cassandra Bankson Skip
“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”
Cassandra Bankson reviewing CeraVe on YouTube3:40
Y Doctor Youn Mixed
“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.”
Doctor Youn reviewing CeraVe on YouTube14:48
H Hyram Approved
“We do like CeraVe good gentle skincare”
Hyram reviewing CeraVe on YouTube1:34
JL Dr. Jenny Liu Approved
“I really like ones from like CeraVe, Cetaphil, Vanicream, then go ahead and use a moisturizer of choice.”
Dr. Jenny Liu reviewing CeraVe on YouTube9:55
