CERAVE VS AQUAPHOR 🤔 WHICH ONE IS BETTER? DERMATOLOGIST

[@beautifulandbold7117]

What a beautiful human to help people and ask for nothing in return💛

Grow up.

[@nicolebaladad7636]

I’m team Vaseline! I’ve tried all 3 products and Vaseline is always my favorite for the thickness and the simplicity. It never irritates my skin snd stays on well and it’s the cheapest option! I use it at night around my eyes , around my nose(nostrils) and along my chin line and forehead. It keeps my skin so soft and smooth in those areas I’m usually dry

[@autumnfeldpausch5539]

Me too. The less amount of ingredients the better it is for the skin. (Plus keeping up with ingredients that have potential reaction causing issues and trying to track the culprit down)

It’s terribly awkward on a sutured incision.

Same. It gives my skin a glowiness unlike the other products.

I’ve been slugging with good ole’ Vaseline since my early 20’s (41now), my dermatologist recommended it twice weekly when I started using tretinoin (still am) also twice weekly, after it dried/absorbed, right before I went to sleep. Have never stopped. I started using cerave healing ointment instead upon discovering you during early days of pandemic, and it’s probably been (although hard to choose) the single best advice. I have used the aquaphor too, and although lovely, I prefer cerave prolly because of the ceramides, which you also introduced me to! I live in Puerto Rico now, use it daily. AC is a must at night and I wake up dewy and fresh and hydrated and I love you for it and everything else you do for the world! Muah!

do u notive a difference between healing oitnment and vaseline?

[@c-mcm3130]

I love both products and find them useful for different reasons. I personally found that CeraVe is great for my face and body, as it is easer to spread, a little less greasy-feeling, absorbs into the skin, and gives you a supple look. It's a great daily ointment. However, over time Aquaphor demonstrated that it performed best for severely dehydrated/impaired skin, especially on my lips. It is so thick and very occlusive. Aquaphor sits on the skin and doesn't absorb fully the way CeraVe does on me, so my lips stay hydrated and soft throughout the day/evening. (I also love Vanicream Ointment for my lips.) CeraVe, on the other hand, worsens my lip condition. I wonder if it's because of the ceramides/HA... my lips are chapped to begin with, and those two ingredients are best used on wet/damp skin or it can dry your skin out even more (I think?). Anyway, definitely love both products and find them equally useful. CeraVe for daily use on everything, but my lips, for supple and dewy skin, and Aquaphor for severely dehydrated/chapped skin if you want to keep that part of your face/body moist and soft throughout the day/evening.

[@janegriffith8021]

I appreciate your comment. I love CeraVe products but their healing ointment also dries out my lips. I’ve tried to figure it out. Your thoughts make sense. Thank you.

I already had the Aquaphor at home. Thought it was “ok” but lacked something. After watching your videos on Cerave I went and bought the 3oz tube. After using it for a couple of days, I went and bought a tub of it at Publix (cheaper than anywhere else). I could slather Cerave everywhere it feels so good and comforting especially on the lips. So team Cerave all the way!

[@jakeroege]

I love both as ointments, I prefer aquaphor in the winter especially on my lips as it is the thickest and longest lasting where I find CeraVe lighter and spreads thinner. Actually my favorite for "slugging"is the vanicream ointment, it has a really nice silicone slip to it, feels great going on:)

[@artsyhyd]

Thanks for sharing! i wanna try Vanicream.

[@pamcanfield255]

I have been using Aquafor for years. It's always been my go to & I have used it for slugging my face & also my body. I am open to trying the CeraVe once I have completed my current jar of Aquafor. I can certainly understand the concept of getting more with the added ingredients in CeraVe. Afterall, I started using Aquafor over Vaseline because of its added ingredients!!

[@kbyeforever]

i use both of these daily, so i can definitely tell a difference. cerave seems to "melt" more/faster so i use whichever one best suits me for the area i'm treating. cerave for eye area and aquaphor for lips/nose, but either for nails and wound/scab healing! love them both so much!

[@vvieites001]

I have both and I feel like cerave gets absorbed more quickly. I think I prefer the cerave for that reason

[@centillion5733]

@@vvieites001 that’s because Cerave isn’t an occlusive. It can still sort of be used for slugging, and a lot of people love it. But in order for a product to be considered true occlusive, it must contain petroleum. But not everyone needs such a full spectrum occlusive like that

I have both of these products as well as the CeraVe baby ointment. I think they're all very effective and soothing on the skin. I started out using CeraVe's formulas but they are so stiff and difficult to get out of the tube. :-( With arthritis in my hands, I switched to Aquaphor as it's easier to get out of the tube and I love using it on my lips, hands and feet. I personally don't "slug" my skin but rather use ointment everywhere else on the body. I also found that during the winter when I get chapped lips, Aquaphor helped to heal them whereas CeraVe's ointment was soothing but never went further to heal them. Thank you for the comparison. :)

Agree with your assessment. My Derm always recommends Aquaphor (burnt myself with a heating pad when I had pneumonia; when they burned off skin cancer, etc.). I bought many Cerave products based on your recommendations and I need to apply them more frequently including the ointment. I have an absolute ton of skin care products in my "inventory" including a 2-3 tubs of the Cerave ointment, several tubs of L'Occitane Shea Butter, many bottles of the Cerave pm treatment and tubs of the Cerave moisturizing cream (and also their soaps)... Several bottles of La Roche moisturizer and sunscreen. My old go to used to just be L'Occitane's Almond Skin Oil (love it) before you learned me on skin care -- LOL (you've been expensive girlfriend :) ). I got back on Retin A and Azelaic Acid (Rx from Derm) -- I see her PA and she forced me onto Differin for a couple of years (long story, but, I actually quoted you to the PA regarding she had previously told me I had thin skin from too much Retin A (between 30 and 55 when she would not refill me); now using the differin on my forearms (inventory of a dozen tubes of the stuff)... I am aging and have a lot of spots (and one ended up as squamous cell carcinoma recently). I need to reduce spots so I don't have so many to watch for skin cancer (shock face). Hoping that 5 year break in Retin A can be corrected :(!!! I grew up in the desert in NV. Last 20 years in the Pacific Northwest (so, not nearly the sun as I also spent a couple of decades in CA).

I use Eucerin Healing Original cream and it works amazing.

I got the new Eucerin Balm, and quite enjoy it, however, Cerave is your boo, and my boo too! It will always be the O.G. in my opinion. I hope you have a terrific weekend. See ya tomorrow

I wish I knew everything you are explaining in your wonderful videos 40 years ago…. My skin would probably looked much better than what it is now. Thank you!

same here!

Hi! I’m using Aquaphor on my hands and body, and Cerave on my face. I find the Aquaphor much for cost effective on larger areas, but agree with you that the Cerave gives a little extra boost to my facial areas. I am 67, and just now discovered both after my lips got dried out during Covid, and was SHOCKED at how much better my eye and mouth area looks! I was afraid of my adult acne returning, but there has been no sign of that in months. In fact, I think I was aggravating my skin before I finally started babying it. Thanks for this video contrasting the two. I think I’m on the right track now.

I did this for two nights now because I felt my face needed some repairing since I wasn't using much skin care and my face looked dull. Didn't know it was called slugging. I am a CeraVe girl by the way.

OMGeeeee! Aquafor perfect for tattoo healing period and maintenance and Cereve Healing Ointment for under the eyes and lids at bedtime. I have both and love both!

[@loriarnold6121]

I much prefer the cereve. It’s changed my skin! The aquaphor breaks me out. I do use lansinoh ointment on my lips though. OB nurse here, that stuff has been a staple for me since I had my own babies!

CeraVe is what I use and like, I use coupons to lower the cost as well.

[@ClaudiaMCBender]

Very very very interesting video, I love both brands, I’m currently using the cerave healing ointment.

Team Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I've never tried the CeraVe one, but both Vaseline and Aquaphor are horribly irritating to my skin (redness, swelling, burning). The Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment works and feels exactly the same as those, but doesn't irritate my skin at all. It is a hero product for me! I use it every day, and couldn't live without it. 👌🏻💜✨

I love your Chanel. I’m 45. I just finished chemo. Would you please do 1 on the best stuff you can put in your hair for your hair to grow back. Thank you so much ❤️

[@mehdikhorrami4109]

This is a fantastic video. I appreciate the clarity and professionalism of the speaker. Very helpful.

[@annika1383]

I spray aquaphor on my legs after shaving and it keeps ingrown hairs and itch at bay. Total HG. .

[@davidle3567]

I love petrolatum and have tried all the major healing ointments. I continue to come back to Cerave’s (which Dr. Dray introduced me to) and plain Vaseline!

[@tpatel3314]

Been using Cerave for me and my toddler. I love your recommendations!

[@Adhara740]

I am obsessed with cerave healing ointment and Nivea cream

[@rdhr3610]

Oh, the timing! I literally wrote this question to youtube yesterday because the CeraVe ointment isn't sold in my country. I couldn't find such video

[@MoonCat33]

Hey Dr Dray! Do you have a video addressing the little blood dots in skin that pop up like beauty marks??

[@DrDrayzday]

I have several videos covering red spots on skin
