TSV or Cerave?

Tsukiko — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 19:51:03 GMT

Hello everyone. I have been using Cerave for years and love it. The TSV looks like a good value. Has anyone tried both? Would like to know how they compare. Thanks!

I prefer Cerave and my dermatologist recommends Cerave.

FAB always. Cerave is awful!!! On me it leaves a horrible film. Don't get that at all with FAB. My body loves FAB. It's like a drink of H20.

For a body moisture cream, I prefer Cera Ve. I also prefer the lack of scent in a body cream and am not swayed by all the fragrance added to these TSV products.

stevieb, of course you know FAB comes unscented otherwise noted as original.

I have never noticed Cera Ve leaving any kind of film. It does leave a protective mositure barrier that lasts for hours, which is what I want a moisture cream to do. Anyhing that disappears as soon as I put it on isn't doing much to help my skin over the longer term. In my experience, Cera Ve does a better job managing dry skin, but we all have different experiences.

I ordered more of the First Aid Beauty today. I still have about an inch left in one 14 oz tub and about 3/4 of another 14 oz left from a prior special. I recently noticed that they have an expiration date on the bottom of the 12/2019. So when the new order comes I'm going to toss these. But to answer your question, to me the CeraVe has a very slightly oily texture compared to the TSV. But they both work well so if you're happy with the CeraVe I'd stick with it because if you don't care for the TSV you'll end up not using it, giving it away, or having to go to the trouble of returning it.

Today I ordered the original because I don't know if them adding a scent to it would in some way affect the way it works which for me is A+

@bluehost Yes, I've used the product in the past, always the original version. In fact, I've used several of their products and I do like them, but for a body moisturizer, I prefer Cera Ve. I've been using it now for several years.

Right now I have both in my vanity. I much prefer the FAB. Just because some derms like the Cerave doesn't mean I'll use it as often as I really should. The FAB goes on much like whipped argon oil and I also like that.

@steviebI agree about the scents. I buy the unscented version of the FAB. There are way too many scents so many places - worst for my nose are probably Bath and Body Shops. I won't even walk on their side of my mall!

Cerave, no doubt in my mind.

Customer Q-V -C: Fyi.....

Most derms only recommend OTC products. Seldom do they endorse other peoples products.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll just stick to my Cerave.

That's not completely so. Derms regularly recommend products that their patients can easily find. Such as drugstore sunscreens and basic moisturizers. And they do recommend certain tried and true products by name, even brands they don't sell themselves. If @customerqvc2 says her doctor recommended CeraVe, I doubt she misunderstood.

It's great if you love FAB. It's a good brand. CeraVe is too, though.

I just received this tsv in the pomegranate cranberry and love love love the scent it is so nice and not too overwhelming. I can’t stop smelling my hands. I’m not a fan of any lotion being greasy on my palms which is why I seldom use any lotions on my hands but this is really nice and soaks in. I never tried cerave but my daughter using the facial wash and lotions. She smelled the pomegranate cranberry and stole one of my smaller tubes of it.

I guess I don't even understand that comment. OTC to me means something you can buy without a prescription. Both CreaVe & FAB fall under that category. You can find CeraVE in the drug store or some grocery store so it's more readily available to people who don't shop online pr at specialty stores like Ulta.

I have never tried either BTW and would be happy to try both if I could get them in a trial size. Currently using Gold Bond Radiant Renewal body "lotion" (although it is very thick, alsmost a body butter consistency).

Cerave....I have tried the TSV and it is ok but Cerave is much better IMO.

Cerave contains petroleum, that is enough to keep me away.

I find that moisturizers with petro in them is very favorable to my skin. I find it keeps my skin moisturized much longer than products without it. Both face and body.

First aid beauty for sure. Not even close. Like comparing filet to hamburger.

I guess I don't know what's so bad about petrolaturm. I heard the lady say with a sneer that other products contain it and parabens. I have no issue with parabens. It seems to me that for a moisture barrier product that a lotion is petrolatum would actually be a good thing.
