Though CeraVe products focus a lot on hydrating the skin and protecting the skin barrier, the line offers products for various skin concerns and all skin types.There’s not a tremendous gap between the two, but it’s something to consider if your skin isn’t dry. CeraVe has products for every skin type but focuses more on issues that occur with dry and/or itchy skin, whereas Cetaphil’s product line seems more balanced between different skin concerns.CeraVe’s Hydrating Cleanser contains hyaluronic acid (wonderful for dry skin) and ceramides (excellent for eczema, rosacea, and acne), whereas Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser has hydrating glycerin, vitamin B5 (which holds moisture in the skin), and vitamin B3 (which strengthens the skin barrier and helps reduce redness).CeraVe is perfect for washing your face morning or night, even if you’re wearing a little makeup, whereas Cetaphil is best used in the morning or makeup-free skin at the end of the day.CeraVe’s Hydrating Cleanser (the one I compared to Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser for this article) is best suited for very dry to normal skin, whereas Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleaner is best for dry to normal or even combination.To make this a more focused, even comparison (at least for the moment), I tested two comparable cleansers–one from each line–made for dry, sensitive skin. However, there are still some differences that could make one better than the other for you. Some of CeraVe and Cetaphil’s products are so similar, that they’re interchangeable in a daily routine. The main differences between CeraVe vs Cetaphil are: 11:02 am GMT Main Differences Between CeraVe vs Cetaphil
I just happened to try the Cetaphil one first and stuck with it. CeraVe’s Daily Moisturizing Lotion works similarly for me they’re interchangeable in my mind, and I also have a small bottle of it. Still, I always have it for days I want something quick and easy or when something else has caused a reaction. It’s no longer a staple in my daily routine because I’ve shifted to more of a focus on anti-aging. However, I always have a small jar of Cetaphil’s Moisturizing Cream with the green lid on hand (it can be used on the face or body). Both cleansers come in pump bottles, have an almost lotion-like consistency that doesn’t produce a lot of suds, and are priced within a few dollars of each other (Cetaphil’s cheaper). I compared the CeraVe cleanser to Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser and felt no interest in switching to Cetaphil. I don’t dislike Cetaphil, but CeraVe (at least their Hydrating Cleanser) has my heart, and I don’t see myself switching anytime soon unless they change the formula and it stops working for me. The better news: I can tell you which one worked best for me ( there’s a clear winner) instead of just telling you, “They’re both good, so you should try them both and see which one you like.” Bottom Line Up Front: CeraVe Is Usually Best, But It’s Close The good news: Both lines are excellent and unlikely to irritate your skin. If you’re trying to find out if CeraVe or Cetaphil is better before you put another product onto your face and then plunge into regret and disappointment because you chose the “wrong” one, I know exactly how you feel. Researching and finding products and a routine that worked for me almost became a full-time job for a while. Having reactions to everything I put on my face (and sometimes my body) made life difficult. I also worked in sales, and when my skin was so red and itchy, there was nothing I could do to hide it.
As a beauty writer who tests makeup products, I was under extra pressure to control my skin.
