Mixed or Yay?

Mixed
CeraVe's AM lotion SPF 50 has done wonders. They've done a great job improving on the SPF 30 hybrid AM version. That one was hybrid, but it still had a white cast. Still was a little thick and chalky, surprising for a hybrid sunscreen. But their AM SPF 50 is very lightweight, much more of an elegant finish than their SPF 30 AM.

Yay
CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30 is your best two-in-one moisturizer with SPF. [...] Sun protection is the most important anti-aging step because UV exposure is one of the biggest drivers of collagen breakdown. This moisturizer is going to give you both hydration and broad-spectrum sun protection in one single step.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
