Beyond that most folks don’t need moisturizer and regular use can even damage the skin depending on product formulation.

NP here. I don’t use Vanicream but I noticed many dermatologists on IG recommend it as a cheaper alternative to the expensive brands. Not sure what PP’s issue is.

I'm the first poster who suggested Vanicream.

I don't comment on these posts often. As you can see, lots of people use Vanicream. It's what my derm suggested when I started tretinoin.

If you have sensitive skin, Avene Cicalfate is amazing and recommended by our dermatologist.

The bomb. I am the second Vanicream poster. I use this (and the avene cleanser) depending on how my face feels at night. If it is tight or dry I slather it on.

Can the Cicalfate moisturizer be used daily? Or, are there other Avene moisturizers you recommend?

I don’t use a moisturizer. Simply the topicals my Derm prescribed

Neutrogena Hydroboost is better than anything already recommended.

I recently started using Avene cicalfate at my dermatologist’s recommendation and am frankly blown away by how well it works and how soft my skin is.

I also have expensive Tatcha and La Mer moisturizers, but the Cerave PM is still my favorite and I keep buying it.

I use the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra serum first, then wait a few minutes, then the Cerave PM. You could also use the Cerave on its own, though, and in the morning I use a little of the Cerave PM before applying my sunscreen.

A few nights a week I also use tretinoin between the B-Hydra and the Cerave PM.

The Cerave PM has been recommended by our dermatologist.
