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.

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.

Neutrogena Hydroboost is better than anything already recommended.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
