"If you find another product with niacinamide which CeraVe puts niacinamide in there um in their facial moisturizer the the am and the PM have niacinamide"
18 FACTS ABOUT AZELAIC ACID | Dermatologist @DrDrayzday
"And then of course there's the CeraVe facial moisturizer, either their AM moisturizer with sunscreen or their PM moisturizer without sunscreen. Both of those are great options. They're very hydrating yet lightweight enough to not make you feel overheated and potentially aggravate a flush."
Sunscreen I use & USED UP| Dr Dray
"This is a chemical sunscreen with no cast whatsoever and I did not experience any burning or tingling. I'm able to tolerate this around the eyes quite well. It has panthenol and niacinamide which are good ingredients for the moisture barrier. Niacinamide may help in reducing oxidative stress in the skin and can help cut down on redness. The panthenol really helps with the health of the moisture barrier. The formulation overall is not greasy and it's not shiny at all on the skin. It's very good and I really enjoyed it. I have another one in my stash and I will continue to use this. I like it a lot. If you have a deeper skin tone and you're frustrated with white cast, you're not going to get a cast with this because it's an all chemical sunscreen."

"The CeraVe Daily Facial Moisturizing Lotion is a long time favorite in the CeraVe family and one of their original products. It contains three essential ceramides that help strengthen and fortify your moisture barrier, and it's an oil free moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid, so when you put it on you immediately feel more hydrated. CeraVe uses MVE technology for a delayed release of their patented ingredients so you get long lasting hydration that doesn't go away immediately. It's safe to use on both the face and body, it's non-comedogenic so it won't plug your pores, and it's developed in collaboration with dermatologists. I personally love the daily moisturizing lotion, I've used it for a long time, and I use it on my kids on both face and body. If you have dry skin or even normal skin, this is going to work really well for you."
Yay
"Vanity cream a Dermatology favorite because they use very low allergen ingredients fragrance free always and so it really focuses on people with really sensitive skin"
