I tried the Cerave tub. It was… fine? A bit mediocre.

Barely noticeable sting which is probably my barrier being compromised. A tiny bit more emollient than the tube, but it’s still very thick and dry. I put on one heaped fingerful and then another trying to get it to moisturise as even a lot doesn’t go very far.

It kind of disappeared leaving a thin waxy residue behind which felt a little stiff and uncomfortable. It feels like you need something more hydrating underneath and this would seal it in.

Honestly I rate the Vaseline Dry Skin Rescue body lotion higher and it’s more economical but my skin suddenly started stinging and breaking out from that when it hadn’t before. (Same bottle.)
