When it comes to skincare especially, I don t think there should be any testing on animals as well. Skin care is for humans and the ingredients used in skin care are not revolutionary, they ve been tested over and over again already. I understand that the medical area has hugely benefited in the past hundreds years from experimenting on animals and humans (willing or unwilling) and we wouldn t be where we are right now should this haven t been done, but skincare isn t brain surgery or transplants, so the most it can do is give you a rash or a burn from some essential oil etc. Thanks for sharing your opinion on Cerave, I didn t know that, haven t been looking into it, though I own some hidrating face and body creams. I feel like you ve done ny homework instead of me 🙂🙂

I also agree that everyone should make their own decisions based on their preference as to whether they should use cruelty free products only or not. Here are the other L’oreal companies for anyone else who wants to go that route: clarisonic (going out of business) It cosmetics, Kiehl’s, Lancome, Urban Decay, YSL, Essie (nail polish), Garnier, Maybelline...there are more but they are mostly hair care brands.

Not all Parabens are bad . Parabens are bad is a Hype and myth . It is all about marketing for natural products . A lot of dark agenda there in the world ! Paraben is the safetest and best perservatives for skincare . Kindly check it out with smartness. The testing they do that said parabens are bad is that, they are putting so much paraben on the testing subject . It is an over dose super large amount that will never be put in a skincare products !!!!!!

I use the Cerave hydrating cleanser, baby lotion, moisturizing lotion. I have mature skin that has become more and more sensitive, quite possibly because it is getting thinner as I age. I also had to retire very early due to a life threatening autoimmune disease. Therefore, the prices are more accessible for me. It is disturbing to find out about their animal testing practices. I would love to know of some affordable replacements for these products, since I only use a few.

I actually love CeraVe! When I had my dermatology rotation over 10 years ago, this lotion was handed out by my preceptor like it was candy. So I used it since then, that is until I started on a serious cruelty free journey 6 months ago after watching a Dodo video of this beagle named Echo who was rescued from a testing lab in China. Echo suffered a lot, was found blind from the testing and had to have one of her eyes removed. She's happy now with a loving family, but whenever I think about going outside of my cruelty free stance I think of her and I stop myself. So yeah, it was heartbreaking for me to part from CeraVe but I had to. I am still using up all of the lotion I bought prior to going cruelty free. Luckily I have found alternatives with brands like the Ordinary and Purito. Unfortunately, I found out First Aid Beauty just started selling in China. This disappoints me so much because I love love their weightless sunscreen. This cruelty free journey can be frustrating but I think it's worth it to stick with it. So yeah, I'm glad that you're pointing this out about CeraVe's non-cruelty free status because it's very important.

After a serious illness, I had insanely sensitive skin. So many things would literally hurt when I used them, so I spent a fair bit of time trying to figure out what to use. Cerave cream kind of normalized my skin for a bit and I went through a lot of it quickly. I wouldn't say it transformed it, but probably because it's relatively simple/plain/boring that gave my skin the chance to heal and recover without completely freaking out. As I've got more into the skincare world (to be honest, a bit because I was trying to escape the news of the pandemic), there are other products I've added (or want to try but haven't purchased because I have tons on hand and need to use up). Cerave cream and the hydrating cleanser will likely remain part of my rotation though.

I'm one of those people who really thought highly of Cerave but stopped purchasing from them because I assumed they weren't cruelty free.

Thank you so much for your info Mad about Skin. However, I wanted to say that I am left with a terrible dilemma myself when it comes to choosing skincare products. I refuse to order from Amazon. I am very against Amazon on how they treat their employees and I refuse to order any skincare products from them. This puts me in a very difficult position because I want to be cruelty free, but also cruelty free on the treatment of humans as well. I find it very hard to try new cruelty free affordable products that aren't in Amazon. This is why I love the Inkey List. I can order straight from them or Sephora, but everytime I go to a new skincare brand website to order from them, they force me to subscribe and have a monthly delivery which I don't like, or they don't have it in my country and won't let me order from the States or Internationally. I wish people would also try to send a message to Amazon with our money that we refuse this company to be cruel to their employees too.

I stopped buying CeraVe about the time you made this video. My "Holy Grail ding ding" cleanser was the CV Hydrating, I used their PM moisturizer, and their SA cream was the best body lotion I ever used. Until spring 2020, when they did a major reformulation. The new cleanser was the first product I ever had a bad reaction to (I have very resistant skin), and I'm now afraid to try the replacements for my other items. I did an analysis of their ingredient listing. One of my hobbies is cosmetic formulation, I only make simple things, but have studied more complex stuff. The reformulations not only swapped out the parabens, but they significantly lowered the amounts of some other ingredients, ones that are more expensive and were why I loved my old CV. [Behentrominum methosulfate is one of them. This is an emulsifier that also works as a conditioner.] So they're no longer anything special or worth buying, IMO.

Thank you for sharing your opinion! I have a question about the ceramide contents of their products. There is a reddit thread about why most ceramide products on the market are a scam. It talks about a blend of ceramides called SK-Influx that many manufacturers, including Cerave, add to their products but at a percentage where it doesn’t benefit your skin much. No influencers seem to bring it up but I was wondering if you think this is credible. Also I personally liked their cream but hated their sunscreen and hydrating cleanser.

What I don't get about the hate for Cerave is that your "cruelty-free" favs Deciem and Paula's Choice have been sold to Estee Lauder and Unilever respectively, both of which are multinational mega-corporations that are not cruelty free by any stretch of the imagination. And the former owners of those supposedly virtuous and ethical companies sold out to megacorps because, at the end of the day, they are just as profit-driven as Cerave or any other affordable and accessible drugstore option. A cruelty-free skincare industry will require a lot more radical and systemic change than putting the onus on the consumer to buy a (probably non-essential and overpriced) product from an "indie" skincare brand that has prettier packaging and a trendier ingredient list. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. So as long as you're buying more BS that you probably don't need, your choices in skincare brands are no more 'ethical' than anyone else's.

I have dry, sensitive skin and I have been using the Moisturising Cream, The Salycilic Acid Cleanser and the eye cream. The eye cream is nothing wow, I admit but it's really affordable while the other two products that I mentioned really made a difference to my skin. I get my skin really calmed down and hydrated when I use them and I truly cannot complain. My mom also uses the moisturising cream and she loves it as she has the same type of skin as myself. In fact, her skin is even more sensitive and whenever it reacts badly to something, it gets soothed right away with the cream. I live in Ireland and the price point is really decent, although it might be slightly higher than in the States. I'm actually not sure and I need to double check that. The price point surely attracted me in buying these products, its good name also did (before it started getting hyped up by skincare influencers). Now, the fact that they are testing on animals.. That is a huge turn off for me and it makes me truly sad that I might have to stop using these products, at least until they stop that horrible practice.

I switched off cerave and Cetaphil myself because they aren't cruelty free. That was enough of a reason for me. I do my best to find ways to live up to my ethics and values. I'm an aspiring vegan too. Easier said than done. But I see skincare and food a lot more as a personal choice these days. I have a harder time navigating my prescriptions with my dermatologist. Certain things I feel I have to do temporarily to get my eczema under control. But I did manage to switch to a synthetic hydrocortisone cream to be cruelty free there. I side note I agree with transparency and honesty too. Also a past dermatologist swore by the lotion for winter skin between your fingers and I did buy it back than for that reason. I'm using the last of my jar up and not buying anymore. There are plenty of other options on the market.

I started using Cerave Products because it was recommended by a dermatologist KZbinr for about 2 years ago. I tried most recommended products that matches target beets. I had used luxury lines more than a decade from Nordstrom prior, the products I had used was discontinued from the luxury brands, so I was on a journey to look for an alternative products I can access to purchase easily, non alcohol & good ingredients. So I gave Cerave a world after watching a dermatologist videos. I agree it is a basic skincare products with their signature ingredients. I find it didn’t transform my skin like the Vitamin C, retinol renewing serums & creams, hydrating lotion,dark circle eye repair, and tinted sunscreen. No change after 2 years. Recently, I decided to moved on my journey to more concentrated & advanced ingredients for my targeted needs. They all leave a dewey and greasy feeling and non absorbing. However, I find the hydrating cleanser works for my sensitive skin and still going to finish it.

I've used and loved the Gel Oil. Made my skin texture look awesome the next day, comparable to how Sunday Riley Juno made my skin look, but it went away for a good while, then came back more expensive. Not sure if they changed it, but I have no desire to try it again.

Hey you came up in my recommended page! I am so happy to have discovered you and your channel! You're very insightful and seem down to Earth. The only product that I personally like from Cereve is their lightweight moisturizer, I was considering getting more products until seeing this video. It was very eye opening so I won't be purchasing any other products from this brand, but I think I will continue using their moisturizer until I find a different one that I am comfortable with at a good price point.Best Wishes to you and your channel!

Hello, I know this video is 3 years old. I bought Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and Moisturing cream and I am shocked how my skin badly reacted on these products. I have sensitive skin and after using them twice on my face I had like dry feeling and rash. I gave a second chance of Moisturing cream for my body, not my face, there is OK. I know that every skin is different, but after that experience and seeing your video, I would rather continue in my previous skin care routine with natural soaps from local manufacturer with shea butter and oils.

Thank you for putting this information out there. I totally agree that companies need to be honest about their position on animal cruelty and sustainability so that consumers can make informed decisions. It's very misleading when companies make claims but then have lots of small print qualifying their statements. I used to use Cereve products before I knew they were owned by L'Oreal. I still use the cleanser because that stuff lasts forever, but I definitely won't be repurchasing.

I gotta say I will always use Cerave. I have tried so many products and brands and Cerave are the only one which actually do something for my skin. It's unfortunate and I hope they change their testing practices in the future. I eat vegan but when it comes to facial cosmetics, my skin can't handle to change the brand, their products did wonders for my skin. I love their no nonsense ingredients approach. I love that they have no active ingredients in most of their products because that's actually good for my personal skin. I can see the issue with the brand but I can't help it. It seems dramatic but my skin literally suffers when I don't use their products.

I just bought the Cerave night cream and i dont like the way it feels or drys on my skin at all!! I got it because of all the great reviews i read about it but i dont like it! It feels sticky on my skin and it doesnt make my face feel hydrated one bit! It may have even irritated my skin and that surprised me because its supposed to be for sensitive skin. I actually feel like La Roche Posey or The Ordinary face lotion or even 100% Emu oil would be better for my skin. I have always tried to take good care of my skin and i have used exfoliating AHA & BHA products since i was in my early 20s. I just did my first TCA peel at home and it went well but i am 57 and need to find a holy grail of face creams! If you have any great suggestions please let me know! I cant use any of the face oils ir face creams that have Rosehip seed oil because i am very allergic to it for some reason. So far i dont like any of the Cerave products. The exfoliating body cream also left my skin dry and really didnt exfoliatewell enough. It may work great for lots if people but it didnt for me.

For me it is also important to know who owns the brand in addition to it being cruelty free and good for the environment (e.g. without Dimeticone). Usually that can me found out by a simple google search. La Roche-Posay for example is owned by Neslté. Further, Nestlé owns 30% of L'Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics and beauty company, whose brands include Garnier, Maybelline, Lancôme and Urban Decay and as a matter of fact CeraVe. In my opinion Face Theory is a great alternative and I loved your video about this brand!

edit: Vanicream is not cruelty free either. 🙄 I heard that they're trying to become cruelty free within the next year and I hope so because 98% of the products out there are not made for my skin. But cerave is one of the few products that is actually formulated for my skin, hence getting fungal acne and such. I bought their cream to try and I'm almost scared that I will like it a lot. I will try vanicreams moisturizing cream next and I actually hope its superior. Why does animal testing have to exist? Ugh. I also stay away from Loreal products its just cerave I could see myself sticking with. I hope that's not the case.

I appreciate hearing your thoughts but I will agree to disagree about Cerave. I started using them years ago following my dermatologist’s recommendation. To me that their website says they don’t test on animals does not make me think they’re cruelty free, or they would say that. They are owned by a major corporation so there are obviously serious ethical questions. However, recommending deciem products, which I believe are owned by Estée Lauder is to me also an ethically questionable decision. I use the Ordinary, but they’re part of a terrible giant Corp that supports Tr*mp who keeps children in cages. And Naturium, whose cofounder may have violated the fair trade commission before announcing her role. Again, it’s important to call out the bad things brands are doing, but all large companies are doing bad things.

Very eye opening. Gasp. Having said that, I'll continue to use it as I find it effective and reliable for my dry sensitive skin. It's been perfect at keeping it hydrated and non irritated. Even got my dad one when he needed a good moustirizer. It's been a reliable simple brand. Shame about the non transparency though. Much like yourself, I value transparency but I can overlook it if it does the job. It isn't a personal matter to me so it doesn't rub me that way.

At the time, I was dealing with cystic acne and EXTREME dry skin (until I used any type of moisturizer, then my face became EXTREMELY oily - ahh preteen years), and after using this product once, my face became bright red, itchy, and miserable. My mom still uses it to this day as her daily (after I gave her my bottle when it didn't work for me), and I tried it a few years back to see if anything changed and I had the same reaction.

Hallelujahhhhh finally! I'm getting so tired of the cerave hype and recommendations in soooo many routines. I'm vegan and cruelty free is a must for me and this is just a nono. It's so dumb in this era to test on animals and not to be honest/transparant about it. It's a hassle tho to find dupes/alternatives like for the CeraVe SA lotion/cream. So if you got a cruelty free alternative that would be awesome ☺️ Pricing range is also high here in The Netherlands

11:50 - Actually, Deciem has been selling The Ordinary products online in China since 2019. They have several authorized retailers. I came across a pop-up store of The Ordinary in collab with a local brand in Shanghai just last week. The products are labeled Cruelty Free though, I don’t know how they managed that really

As far as I know,animal testing is mandatory only for products sold in physical stores and not mandatory for online stores. But who knows.. 🤷‍♀️

@@SickOfIt19 That’s interesting. No idea why ways of selling would render this difference in standards

Found this on ethicalelephant.com Sold Online - Cosmetics that are sold direct-to-consumer through cross border e-commerce sites have never been required to test on animals. That includes companies selling from their own website or on an online Chinese retailers’ website like Tmall, TaoBao, and JD, in which products are shipped directly to consumers and therefore they do not need to be tested on animals. Mainland China - China’s animal testing requirements mostly apply to cosmetics that are sold in physical retail stores in mainland China. If a company’s cosmetic products are marketed on a store shelf in any mainland China store, then they had to file and register their products & ingredients in China which may have required animal testing.
