CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion vs La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5

“Keeping things extremely simple. Clease, moisturize SPF. Only just started using the Iunik beta glucan serum (for hydration and barrier repair). Less is more. I've learned that the hard way. Cicaplast B5 is my HG. I was trying other moisturizers because I thought it wasn't enough in terms of ceramides etc and too occulsive but if it works, it works. Not cleasing in the morning. Using a compound forumla over generic gel (severe irritation) and cream (closed CCs). But the biggest difference is I'm actually listening to my skin. Taking a day or two off if I feel the slighest bit of irritation. Listening to the whispers before waiting for my skin to scream. If my skin feels tight right after cleansing - buffer that night. If my face starts feeling a little sensitive - pull back, moisturize more, take a night off. If flaking starts - increase occlusion, add a layer underneath hence the beta glucan.”

“If it works for you, don’t let others’ opinions deter you. CeraVe has been a godsend for me personally. I’ve used all manner of expensive moisturizers - Tatcha, Drunk Elephant, Ole Henriksen. All were great but not really sustainable long term for me due to price point. Gave CeraVe PM a shot and I got the same results with my skin for a fraction of the price.”
