Cerave In The Tub vs La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5

I was so excited to try this cream because my body feels tight and dry after my shower and I thought this could help. This product seems to add to the dryness. I have to scoop out a bunch for my skin to feel hydrated, but the problem is, overusing this cream will make you a greasy, oily mess throughout the day. The cream itself feels dry and it's hard to get good coverage from it

If I use this on my hands, which are not dry and flaky then it does absorb nicely but I was looking for a face moisturizer to restore my skin barrier. I usually use aquaphor and that works beautifully for my dry, irritated skin but I hate the heavy feeling of it on my skin, especially during warmer months. I’m going to give DML Forte moisturizer since I’ve heard good things about that one as well. It contains panthenol but no zinc so maybe that’ll be better for my skin

I don’t have tons of experience with the Cerave in the tub but enough experience to say that they are so different from each other that I think it’s really hard to conclude that they are really similar in any way. I mean, you might find that both turn out to be equally effective for you and they may share some ingredients in common but they texture, feel, and finish are going to be very different. Personally I find them to be just completely different.

Another hyped product that didn't work for me. Thick and greasy and hard to spread like a horrible white mineral sunscreen. I think the shea butter in this filled my face with angry breakouts rather than calming it. Finished it up as an occlusive hand cream
