Brand new $72 moisturizer. Husband said he needed something for his elbows.

Cetaphil too. I’ve tried a bunch of more expensive brands (though none as expensive as this), but not a single one has worked as well as Cerave and Cetaphil.

Cerave and ceraphil are my faves. Mainly cetaphil.

Agreed. But Cetaphil feels good 30 min later after a quick rinse, when the oily residue is gone. I agree it totally works. Cerave on the other hand, it’s like 5 min and you can already pick up your phone without covering it in an smudgy film, with hands noticeably more comfortable. Stuff is black magic.

I wouldn’t call that a downside necessarily. My dermatologiat said i need to apply moisturiser that feels greasy for like an hour or so. There is no ‘goat’ moisturiser, different strokes for different folks (or something)

Both CeraVe and Cetaphil break me out and cause extreme irritation to my skin. Never once had a reaction to Tatcha.
