I was gifted this awesome box that I wanted to show you.
Another addition to the “Dr. Sugai Compares...” Series and this time I am switching gears to the two popular OG Cerave Hydrating and Foaming Facial Cleansers and their newer Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser! Here I discuss when to use which cleanser and even try to see if the Cream-to-Foam cleanser can remove water-resistant sunscreen with one pass with the cleanser (towards end of video).

You may believe changing things is tough, but just slight tweaks can work great for your skin. Remember to consume ample water. Have a 1L bottle nearby and aim to complete it. After it's done, top up it and drink another liter. If you can manage more, that's even better! If your skin is extremely dry or oily, try using litlextra riceeberry face wash. Once or twice a day should be good. It has water from black rice which gives a nice glow to skin. Don't overlook to moisturize before going to bed, based on what works best for your skin. Try to squeeze in some exercise, even if it's just 10-15 minutes. If you're busy working, take a brisk walk to the bus stop and back. If you can, use a treadmill. After, rehydrate, revitalize, have breakfast, and begin your day. It is important to stay happy and eat well. Go for foods like daals, spinach, carrot and orange juice, and yogurt. These are everyday foods that can help you feel great. And don't worry if you feel dull during bad weather - it occurs to everybody.

[@natasahsanwal519]

Myself enjoy the riceberry face wash, it's very lovely... It has an enjoyable fragrance, its face wash has a good texture, leaves the face soft and fresh after use, just loved it. Best face wash for dark spots, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone... Face wash for sensitive skin too of my brother... In 15 days I can see the difference on my face... Thanks for this lovely thing.

[@gajendraCA9148]

Despite using the face wash from lottus, my acne problem wasn't solved. Switching to riceberry face wash helped and reduced my acne.

[@LadybugLaneSoaps]

The CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser is the only cleanser I use on my 61 year old face. It never dries my face and leaves it soft and clean. I did buy a bottle of the Cream to Foam cleanser but didn't care for it as it dried out my face. Thanks for the video!

[@SamMKKK]

Your anecdote about kids with eczema resonates. Showering used to be a nightmare for me because I’d itch so badly, and my mom would shower me again from frustration that improper cleansing was the cause of the itch. Didn’t help that our ped agreed with her lol. Thank God for growing up and seeing my own doctor. 😂

[@dr.possible2399]

I would love to see videos about moisturizers - Korean/Western (not limited to). Your videos are fantastic; thank you very much!

Thank you so much Dr. Sugai for all your amazing and helpful videos. I am 57 years old and I am a grandma for the first time which is absolutely an incredible blessing to our family. So this grandma was hoping to try to take even better care of my skin and hopefully slow down the effects of ageing on my face lol! We lost my husband to brain cancer and my mother to Covid so this baby is a true blessing. Your videos have really helped me to find some affordable ways to take care of me. A sincere thank you to you Dr. Sugai 🙏😊

[@nk6772]

Well, i used the Cerave Foaming Cleanser, but it really stripped my skin and i have oily skin. I now use the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser which is really gentle and soft to my skin.

[@frozenwoods863]

Interesting, its sounds like you might not be that oily? I have dry skin but can use the foaming one on some days. If I do use it regularly my fave gets dry. I’m considering to but the hydrating one but I’ve heard it’s leaves a film on the skin? How’s your experience?

[@fg1434]

You sound like you have dehydrated dry skin, sometimes your skin will secrete a lot of oil because it’s so dehydrated and dry and so you’ll think you’re oily but you’re really not. My skin was the same

[@beatrizquendera8068]

@@fg1434 yes that intrigued me a lot. I used to have very oily skin on my T zone but foaming cleansers strip all of my face. I use a water gel cream and it kinda works but I still feel some stripping between my eyebrows , corners of mouth and corners of the eyes Don’t know what to do

[@betty5449]

N K..the trick is to use a pea sized amount. I noticed that using way too much was what was drying out my skin.

[@ashk5033]

Dr.Sugar , I love this video and the way you presenting to us how good product is.I spend a lot of money but didn’t see much results.From now on I will concentrate on CERA VE. Many people saying very positiv things about this very affordable help for our skin. Before I am leave my place to go to buy this products I wish to thank you for your help.I am 87 y.old( young !) and still trying to take good care for my skin and in general ,my body!

Thank you so much for watching, Ana and glad you are doing well taking care of your skin and health!🙏❤️💙

[@daviddd99]

Good, down-to-earth commonsense video. I switched from Cetaphil to CeraVe last October (simply because of a '3 for 2' offer). I was slightly careless and bought the version for normal to oily skin and only twigged this at the weekend. My skin felt slightly dry and I noticed some fine wrinkle, but the latter is prob. just paranoia. Anyway, after just a morning and evening wash with the CeraVe cleanser for normal to dry skin, I can detect the loss of tightness already. I came to this video as I wasn't exactly sure whether the cleanser should be used with water or removed with cotton wool pads. There were no instructions on the CeraVe container, only basic information in several languages. Hopefully, complemented by Boots No 7 Restore & Renew (for older skin ...55+) I should detect some subtle relief and improvements.

[@danielsugaimd]

Hope these products well for you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🤙

[@RNssssss]

Cerave Hydatint Cleanser is a miracle. I have been using different products for the past 2 years but nothing works. I started using this cleaner 4 days ago and I am seeing a big improvement in my face. Now I am waiting for the other Cerave products I ordered online wishing this line will be suitable to my face.

[@Orlanzepol123]

I wonder if the cream to foam will actually foam up with an “automatic foaming dispenser”. I dilute my Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser with distilled water (1:1 ) using one of these foaming dispensers and I get instant thick foam which feels like shaving cream. It feels so good going on your face.

[@Voop12345]

That was my question if I could use the cream to foam while on tretnoin! So it's better to use the hydrating cleanser

[@VirgoKC]

For vitamin B3 and Hyaluronic acid in the cleanser, do they have enough time to do their jobs on our skin Doctor? Are they eventually rinsed off completely in just a minute?

[@jassimjaved3309]

I have sensitive to dry skin. I tried using foaming cleanser and it caused my acne pimples to appear more red and I also developed new red pimples.

[@carlalazajane5959]

The hydrating cleanser cream to foam also has salicylic acid!

I am using the CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser for the Fall and Winter. For Spring and Summer I am going to use the CeraVe foaming facial cleaner.

[@danielsugaimd]

That is similar to me! Changing it up by the seasons. That is great 👍👍💪

[@darrenccw]

@@danielsugaimdthat's a strategy that I may want to try. The Hydrating cleanser works great for my dry skin during Winter, but appears insufficient to cleanse in Summer when my face is oilier. On a seperate note, is the foaming wash too drying as it contains sodium lauryl sarcosinate?

[@venicebeach1986]

Does the regular cleanser clean sunscreen too?

[@ladyworpledinker]

I'm trying to determine a good wash to use at night before putting on moisturizers that may be akin to "slugging," which is why I'll only be using my benzoyl peroxide wash in the mornings, since I read you shouldn't use something like that and then "lock it in" over night. I've been leaning towards the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. Most people talk about using it in the AM although I did read it's suitable for both AM and PM. I do have seriously dry skin between the cold winter months and the benzoyl peroxide right now. Any thoughts from anyone on why or why not to go with this option as part of my nighttime routine? Thanks in advance. :) I do have acne prone skin (why the benzoyl peroxide) with a mix of dry/oily, but mostly dry right now, and I don't wear makeup (foundation), just the occasional eyeliner and/or lipstick.
