we'll be comparing your favorite skincare brands and see how they work against one another and for today we'll be comparing the two  CeraVe cleansers. Now CeraVe is a company created by L'oreal in 2005 and lately in the  past few years it's been gaining popularity   on YouTube. It’s difficult to actually get it in Malaysia or in Southeast Asia.

 I will be reviewing both of these CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser or CeraVe Hydrating Facial cleanser. First of all regarding packaging wise I love the  packaging because packaging is   nice and clean with the nice branding up here. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser or CeraVe Hydrating Facial cleanser  had actually  color coded.

 The color code is not only  on the cap but on the bottle itself to tell you  what is the difference between the both cleansers. So that you don't accidentally buy the wrong  cleanser another thing about packaging which  I like on the side here you have this big word  CeraVe so it's great branding CeraVe on this   side CeraVe on this side as well in the front  and a little bit in the back so a lot of brand  reminders when you pick up the bottle the one  thing great about CeraVe does not contain   paraben it doesn't contain preservative and neither does it contain any fragrance great for most skin types especially people with  sensitive skin next up is functionality design.

CeraVe has thought of a lot of things and one  of the most functional designs which I’ve seen   and a lot of companies don't do this enough  is they have a lock mechanism on the pump  now why is this important because sometimes during  transporting or when you know when the products   are being sent to you or maybe you know when  you bring it home from the supermarket you might  accidentally compress the pump and a little bit of  spillage might occur dirtying your bag or your car or your house so this has a lock mechanism whereby  you're unable to squeeze out any products unless  you actually unlock it and once you unlock  it you can then squeeze out the product. so the first product is  the CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser it's for normal to dry skin type  it's a very gentle form of cleanser it's great   for most skin types even combination skin and  on the packaging itself there is that accepted   by the National Eczema Association of the United  States of America now why is this important it   means that the National Eczema Association doesn't  they don't simply give their stamp of approval to  any skin care only for those that has been proven  to work for eczemalike skin or for sensitive skin. so by having a stamp it gives anyone with eczema  skin that comfort that doctors and the association   itself endorses this particular product on  the packaging itself it says that its cleanses   hydrates and helps restore protective skin better why because it has three essential Ceramides now   Ceramides is a phospholipid it's a fat that helps  cover the skin that helps clog up all the very   small fine pores which causes skin dryness and  skin irritability the issue with sensitive skin   is sometimes the skin barrier has a problem and  hence you need additional help from Ceramides to actually help repair the skin and this  CeraVe has three different Ceramides to   actually help. You now Ceramides are not a cheap ingredient Ceramides are generally   quite expensive hence Ceramides based products are not affordable they are not cheap to actually purchase now on top of that there is hyaluronic acid as well.

what hyaluronic acid does it helps hydrate the skin on top just cleaning  the skin now on the back it states that it has   the MVE tech the delivery technology whereby it's a slow release technology of hydration   means that it keeps the hyaluronic acid in the in  the product the entire day and slowly releases it   as time goes by it also is non-comedogenic it does  not clog up the pores doesn't clog the pores and for those whose pores are pretty  sensitive especially for products with Ceramides   generally it does clog a pores however this  product does not clog up any of my pores   and most importantly fragrance free paraben free  and it's none drying another important concept is   it's gentle on the skin cleansers are meant to be  gentle never use too harsh cleansers on your skin. If you are of a normal skin to a dry skin type the way to use it it's the same you pump it out you   add a little bit of water you mix it on your palm and then apply it on your skin. It feels that this  particular cleanser does not leave that greasy   sensation on the skin due to its high contents  of glycerin now inside here it has glycerin   due to high condensed glycerin is easy to actually  apply on the skin and as you wash the skin and one  of the nice sensation, there's something that something remains on  skin it means that the cleanser it's not 100%   gone however it feels like there is a very mild  layer of moisturizer now the first mistake that people  did they didn’t  didn't wash  it off completely. when   you wash your face make sure you remove all  the cleansers before moving on to the next step now for texture I’ll give it five out of five  it doesn't feel greasy for a dry cleanser for  normal to dry skin it doesn't feel greasy.

A lot for price wise  in Malaysia now this is a 473ml in Malaysia  it's roughly about 130 ringgit it's a little bit   pricey for a cleanser so I’ll give it the price  a rating about three out of five however if   for a Ceramides cleanser this is actually pretty  affordable now for effectiveness I will give   it a 4 out of 5. it's good for normal to  dry skin not superbly great for dry skin   because it doesn't really hydrate as well as it  claims to be so I’ll give it a four out of five   so on average it's 3.75 stars out of five so next  up it's sibling the CeraVe foaming facial cleanser   the foaming facial cleanser is meant for normal to  oily skin but not superbly oily it stayed in that   it cleanses and removes oil without disrupting the  protective skin barrier now why this is important   because a lot of oily cleansers contains  acids like glycolic acid and salicylic acid   now why those acids are important if they  are meant to exfoliate skin however what   they do is they can accidentally disrupt the skin  barrier that can actually spoil the skin barrier   and on top of that for an oily cleanser a  combination to oily skin cleanser it contains   Ceramides Ceramides as we know helps repair the  skin and helps hydrate the skin partially and   Ceramides-based products again are not affordable  they are not then they are not cheap all right so   a lot of Ceramides based products are actually  pretty expensive it also contains niacin amide   niacin amide is a good ingredient to reduce the  amount of inflammation and redness which happens   to your skin especially when you have a little bit  of acne and niacin amide at the same time reduces   amount of redness caused by sensitive skin and as  well as reduces the redness caused by acne scars   niacin amide also helps repair and restore skin  barrier so over here you have two different   ingredients to help restore skin barrier first  is the Ceramides secondly it's the niacin amide and   also last of all it contains hyaluronic acid for  hydration this on in my hand is written there for   oil control and 473ml you can get it in about in  350 ml up to about 500 plus ml and over the back   it has foaming action now the foaming action is  not due to sls it doesn't contain any sls inside   but the foaming action is actually due to one of  his proprietary technology inside so you just need   to pump it up add a little bit of water and then  mix it in your palm and you realize that there   will be a little bit of foam now not great deal  foam unlike products with sls it has a little   bit of foam it doesn't clog pores now this is  again important because if you have acne prone   skin or combination skin if you use products that  crop pores especially Ceramides goanna trigger more   acne to appear it contains nice niacin amide to  calm the skin and as well as no fragrance and   it's not drying on the skin one thing to note  this contains paraben this one has no paraben   over here the foaming uh the foaming facial  cleanser actually contains a little bit of paraben   but again paraben are not your enemy paraben  actually help reduce the increase the shelf life   of the product and as well as reduce the amount  of fungus and bacteria growing in your product for smell I’ll give it three out of five  it does not contain any fragrance so   again don't expect any smell and this is what  this is something you should look for if you   have sensitive skin or acne prone skin for texture  this is actually very uh very aqueous very liquid   this I’ll give it a 5 out of 5. I like the  texture a lot for price this is 130 ringgit   I’ll give it three out of five because for normal  to oily skin you can get a lot of cleansers out   there for a much cheaper range for probably half  the price so overall effectiveness not superbly   great for oily skin I still prefer again cleanses or zinc cleanses for oily skin this one   I will give it effectiveness four out of five so  in total I’m goanna I’m goanna give it a 3.75 stars   out of five between the boat which cleanses do  I suggest for you to use I’m going to suggest   I’m going to suggest this one now the reason  why this particular cleanser above this   cleanser is because of this yes they are both  different cleansers for different skin types   however for normal to oily skin for this  particular ingredient you can actually find in   a lot of cleansers however for a normal to dry  cleanser which has a stamp of approval from the   National Eczema Association with three different  Ceramides with a slow release hydration throughout   the entire day and as well as no fragrance no  paraben and no preservatives this ranks very   highly because it's very difficult to find a  product with all the properties that the CeraVe  hydrating facial cleanser have.
