The Cetaphil and Cerave creams are moisturizing but for me they feel thicker and have almost a layer left behind that can pill under makeup. So I often use them at night in the winter to slather them on and not worry about how they wear during the day.
For less dry months I like the Trader Joe's pump - its light, not really a cream - that is supposedly a Youth for the People dupe. I use this all the time. I do think the expensive ones are better but can't do those all the time. I like Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream, Sunday Riley Ice (though it's been giving me a slight stingy redness lately so I might not rebuy), and Fresh Lotus Youth whatever it's called. |
Olay micro sculpting night cream and Kiehls night retinol serum are amazing.

For budget friendly option, my Dermatologist recommended Ponds Dry Skin Cream.

THIS! Between my retinol cleanser and this cream, there is a noticeable improvement in my skin. |
Cerave PM in the summer and then the thick Cerave moisterizer in the tub in the winter when my skin is dry. |
I use straight shea butter. |
I honestly use Nivea and it’s been great! |
Simple kind to skin vitamin night cream |
I’m not OP but I’m beginning to switch up my skincare and be more attentive to it. I see Cerave listed so often, and in other posts, I’ll try it.
I used to think I should stick to the same product line for all my skincare, but that’s not true, correct? I have sensitive skin and trying out retinol and other preventative products. I’m 55 so a bit late although my skin is not too bad yet. I just always stuck w the basics due to sensitivity. I’m enjoying this thread! |
I just got a two-tub honey day/night cream from Trader Joe's. I don't know the quality, but it feels good on my skin and I like the smell! |
I also tried cerave after seeing so many recommendations for it here on dcum. Honestly, I don’t like it. It’s thick (which I like) but it leaves a weird waxy feeling on my skin. |
Vanicream moisturizing cream in the big pump jar. |
