Brand note
CeraVe is the brand dermatologists recommend and creators actually use — straightforward, fragrance-free skincare built around ceramides and barrier repair rather than bells and whistles. The PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion is a standout for its lightweight, non-sticky texture that works across skin types, especially for those who want niacinamide without irritation. The trade-off: some products, like the Healing Ointment, can be too thick for daily use after reformulation, and the Moisturizing Cream's pump packaging is frustrating.
