Strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier to help hold moisture within the skin for smoother and healthier looking skin The CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion is a lightweight moisturiser that’s designed to provide all day hydration to the skin whilst strengthening the skin barrier. It’s non comedogenic, so it won’t clog the pores, and is suitable for both dry skin and acne sufferers. The active ingredients in this cream include hyaluronic Acid, ceramides, and niacinamide. Niacinamide is known to help smooth fine lines, and reduce uneven skin tone and large pores. Unfortunately, Greenfield says that keratosis pilaris is actually quite difficult to treat. “There are many products that will improve the appearance of keratosis pilaris if used consistently twice daily for a few months at a time, but this is oftentimes difficult for someone to do,” she says. “The results may also not be a complete resolution of the symptoms, but rather just an improvement.”

Cetearyl alcohol is usually derived from plant oils such as palm, vegetable, or coconut oils. There is debate on whether this ingredient will cause acne. In general, it is best to speak with a professional about using this ingredient if you have concerns. If (similar to us) you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is almost always on the ingredient list. It's an important skin-identical ingredient and great natural moisturizer that helps the skin to hold onto water and stay nicely hydrated.Since it contains lactic acid and urea in the ingredient list it may not be suitable for eczema prone or very sensitive skin. The Eucerin moisturizer also does not contain a sunscreen, so would not be suitable to wear outdoors all day. Nava Greenfield, MD, is a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group in Brooklyn, NY. She’s been published in many medical journals and is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, Women’s Dermatologic Society, and the American Medical Association. Chemically speaking, it is the attachment of a glycerin molecule to the fatty acid called stearic acid. It can be produced from most vegetable oils (in oils three fattyacidmolecules are attached to glycerin instead of just one like here) in a pretty simple, "green" process that is similar to soap making. It's readily biodegradable. Again, the treatment depends on the cause, so the first step to getting rid of your "strawberry legs" is to see a board-certified dermatologist to determine the reason for it. If you are dealing with keratosis pilaris or folliculits, you can try breaking down the bumps and smoothing skin with a chemical exfoliant, like a salicylic acid lotion or glycolic acid-based body wash. Just note that keratosis pilaris is in your DNA, so there's no cure for it—only management. For those with pretty intense KP, Arch suggests using an exfoliating body wash in the shower, followed by applying an exfoliating lotion.She’s a fan of this set, which contains both. “Even my patients who haven’t found relief with other over-the-counter products tend to respond well to this easy-to-use kit,” she says. Along with helping to combat bumps, the high glycolic content in this formula also helps to even out both skin tone and texture, she adds.

Compared to the Eucerin Roughness Relief Lotion, the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream contains more exfoliating ingredients. The Eucerin cream on the other hand is slightly more gentle and contains shea butter to nourish and soothe the skin. Effective from as low as 3% with even more benefits for dry skin at higher concentrations up to 20-40%We can see that both brands use the same key ingredients in their night creams as they have in their day creams. Although both products are designed for dry skin, the CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion has an oil free, non comedogenic formula and won’t cause acne flare ups. It would work well on both dry and oily skin. The Eucerin night cream however, is not oil free since it contains castor oil. A white, solid, vegetable-derived fat (meaning it has the same triglyceride structure as oils but is solid at room temperature) that contains coconut-derived, C12-C18 chain length, saturated (no double bonds) fatty acids.
