Transcripts
and giving skin care and dermatology education worldwide so we can make good decisions with
our hard-earned money so you're walking down the skincare aisle at the drugstore and you see both
the Cetaphil daily oil-free facial moisturizer with SPF 35 and you also see the CeraVe AM facial
moisturizing lotion SPF 30 and you're like which one do I pick up you know like they both look very
similar uh they're both three fluid ounces with very similar pricing usually Cetaphil and CeraVe
products are less than 20 bucks and a little goes a long way it really can last you a while
when it comes to these facial moisturizers with SPF you want to use at least a quarter teaspoon
amount to cover your face and get that SPF 30 or SPF 35 the other one that I compared recently on
another YouTube video is the ultra light CeraVe moisturizing lotion which I think is is like the
gold standard for facial moisturizer with SPF because it's so lightweight but let's see how
the texture compares to Cetaphil daily oil-free facial moisturizer we talked about the critiques
behind the AM because is quite thick it has zinc oxide plus has chemical UV filters it has one,
two, three, four chemical UV filters so this has four chemical UV filters this one has zinc plus
four chemical UV filters and then we can show the texture of this one here which has the four
chemical UV filters okay let's jump into your skin care complaints if I have a patient here with acne
and they're on acne medications their skin's quite dry and they don't mind having a thicker
you guys know is a great ingredient that we like I don't care for it as a dedicated niacinamide serum
when it's 10% or more that can be quite irritating for the skin I like it mixed into my products
and this one here has not only the ceramides which makes CeraVe you have three essential ceramides
but you also have niacinamide and hyaluronic acid and the niacinamide is great for my patients with
oily skin with acne because it helps regulate sebum production so it doesn't make as much
oil feeding the bacteria that is causing your acne. Niacinamide is a great ingredient also if
you have dark spots it helps reduce dark spots by brightening the skin and so nice to have that the
reason why I bring this one up and why it's so relevant is that if you don't have those
those issues and you have say more mature skin and you're looking more at texture you want something
that's more of a nice sensorial experience you don't want to put zinc oxide based sunscreen on
your face the ultra light comes into play the only thing is that this one does not have the
niacinamide it has the ceramides and hyaluronic acid so it's hydrating with the hyaluronic acid
and the ceramides help repair the Skin Barrier but no niacinamide so if you want texture lightweight
this one wins if you want niacinamide this one wins but the question is does cetaphil become
products now have those three great ingredients that I love. so let's talk about this one can
this one replace even the AM because of texture because this also has an niacinamide right so also
could be great for my patients with acne a lot of my younger patients have gravitated to CeraVe
because they've put a lot of money in marketing and um did a really funny Super Bowl commercial
uh with Michael Cera this past year so I feel like you know where they um my younger patients
are gravitating to CeraVe but I also wanted to highlight Cetaphil because I think they make
some awesome products for those with sensitive skin especially so let me show you the texture
of this guy here comes out thick very different from the ultra-light which I'll show you here
so you got the ultra light CeraVe without the niacinamide and you got cetaphil here
with the glycerin, niacinamide and panthenol not bad but this one much lighter weight after
a couple swipes you can see this is starting to disappear so let me put some of this on my
face blends in nice rubs in well not much of a white cast there so that's nice that goes
on very nice not doesn't feel thick I have a feeling this might be better than the CeraVe
AM facial moisturizing lotion so let's put some on my hand that's the Cetaphil now let's try to
put some of the am on the back of my hand so you got the AM CeraVe up above CeraVe that's
that thicker zinc oxide look there with the four chemical UV filters and now you got the
Cetaphil much more of a lighter weight lotion Cetaphil CeraVe so I have a feeling the CeraVe
is going to be a little bit thicker and you got to it's going to require a little bit more muscle
or elbow grease to get that Blended in yeah so I'm putting on the other side of the face
here a slight white cast unless I keep rubbing it in and even after I rubbed it in you
can still see there's a little bit more of a white cast look on this side so as a hybrid
sunscreen or moisturizer with SPF you expect a little bit better sophisticated texture the
ultra- light again is better is much more of a better sensorial experience than the Cetaphil
doesn't have that niacinamide in it so if CeraVe could throw some niacinamide in it in this this
could be kind of a a triple threat there you got the texture you got the price and you got the the
Niacinamide this one needs some work but I'd say this SPF 35 beats the SPF 30 product just because
texture wise this is a little doesn't have as much of a white cast when I blend it in feels
less um heavy than the am so I'd say that one wins SPF 30 to SPF 35 not a big difference you
don't have to go by oh that's Superior just based on the sun protection Factor no SPF 30 to SPF 40
is a very small amount of difference and when you look at that SPF chart uh it's just very small
percentages that we're looking at though although I do say if you have an SPF 70 versus SPF 30 there
could be a difference if you underestimate how much sunscreen you apply so if you apply too
little of your SPF 70 maybe it'll be SPF 40 you have on your face if you underestimate your SPF
30 or SPF 35 though having SPF 15 to 20 on your face which is not good right that's not enough
coverage we want daily I want to go for SPF 30 and above I don't know why skincare brands are
still making uh below SPF 30 uh products I'd say you can find a nice lightweight moisturizer with
SPF that's SPF 30 and above and just stick with those okay and if you are doing water resistant
or if you're doing water play or workouts you want to go with a dedicated water resistant sunscreen
and not one of these facial moisturizers with SPF so I just wanted to make that a point so hope you
like this video hope this video was helpful so if you have acne um acne prone skin oily skin
go with one of these but I'd say this one wins based on texture price-wise both affordable I
still I still like this product it's just this one texture wise a little better um if you are
into lightweight texture you want something that's very lightweight this one is the best in terms of
being Ultra lightweight and that lives up to its name okay so please hit the like button please
