I’m team Vaseline! I’ve tried all 3 products and Vaseline is always my favorite for the thickness and the simplicity. It never irritates my skin snd stays on well and it’s the cheapest option! I use it at night around my eyes , around my nose(nostrils) and along my chin line and forehead. It keeps my skin so soft and smooth in those areas I’m usually dry
Me too. The less amount of ingredients the better it is for the skin. (Plus keeping up with ingredients that have potential reaction causing issues and trying to track the culprit down)
It’s terribly awkward on a sutured incision.
Same. It gives my skin a glowiness unlike the other products.
but vaseline is boring n too simple tho

What a beautiful human to help people and ask for nothing in return💛
This is the Vs we never knew we needed!
You are so animated and lively in this video!
I am a flight attendant at a German airline and I've been using CeraVe Healing Ointment (thanks dr. Dray) for about a year now under my make up and over my serums/moisturizer. First it looks a little shiny, but when it is absorbed my face looks realy good and fresh. After a long flight my 'mature' skin looks so much better and doesn't feel dry.
Hi Katharina, does it affect your make up when you use it underneath? I thought the make up would not set and slide around.
@@origma99 I use a very thin layer under my foundation (tinted moisturizer)daily. No sliding around. My skin now has a hydrated glow, not shiny! Try it on a day you don’t care just to see how it goes.
@@origma99 I was wondering the same thing.
@@origma99 I apply a thin layer under my serum foundation (The Ordinary), no powder, a little bronzer here and there, mascara... and that's it. It doesn't slide around. But I have to touch it up a little after some hours. It works for me and I don't know how it works for others. Just try it out 😉
@I Hate Creeps as long as you have occlusives (this product has plenty), i think it should be fine
This is a fantastic video. I appreciate the clarity and professionalism of the speaker. Very helpful.
I'm glad you mentioned about putting those on the eyelids as I've been having an awful time with dry, sore skin on and around my eyes.
Yes hunny we love some aquaphor it makes my makeup look seamless
I love both as ointments, I prefer aquaphor in the winter especially on my lips as it is the thickest and longest lasting where I find CeraVe lighter and spreads thinner. Actually my favorite for "slugging"is the vanicream ointment, it has a really nice silicone slip to it, feels great going on:)
Thanks for sharing! i wanna try Vanicream.
I have been using Aquafor for years. It's always been my go to & I have used it for slugging my face & also my body. I am open to trying the CeraVe once I have completed my current jar of Aquafor. I can certainly understand the concept of getting more with the added ingredients in CeraVe. Afterall, I started using Aquafor over Vaseline because of its added ingredients!!
Oh, the timing! I literally wrote this question to youtube yesterday because the CeraVe ointment isn't sold in my country. I couldn't find such video
I’ve been slugging with good ole’ Vaseline since my early 20’s (41now), my dermatologist recommended it twice weekly when I started using tretinoin (still am) also twice weekly, after it dried/absorbed, right before I went to sleep.
Have never stopped. I started using cerave healing ointment instead upon discovering you during early days of pandemic, and it’s probably been (although hard to choose) the single best advice. I have used the aquaphor too, and although lovely, I prefer cerave prolly because of the ceramides, which you also introduced me to! I live in Puerto Rico now, use it daily. AC is a must at night and I wake up dewy and fresh and hydrated and I love you for it and everything else you do for the world! Muah!
I heard you weren’t supposed to slug when doing retinoids??
@@copeium400 I always have! However , I don’t have sensitive skin, it locks all ingredients in, so not for all, but my skin has loved it. Always sunscreen though , obvi.
@@copeium400 its not that you shouldn't, its just that the slugging can make the retinoid ingredients stronger, so you may be more prone to irritation when slugging with these ingredients. but if you're a long time tretinoin user such as myself, the slugging plus tretinoin is WONDERFUL because your skin is fully adjusted to the ingredients.
@@alejandraflores4601 quit spamming
do u notive a difference between healing oitnment and vaseline?
YESS I've been thinking about this question.
I love both products and find them useful for different reasons. I personally found that CeraVe is great for my face and body, as it is easer to spread, a little less greasy-feeling, absorbs into the skin, and gives you a supple look. It's a great daily ointment. However, over time Aquaphor demonstrated that it performed best for severely dehydrated/impaired skin, especially on my lips. It is so thick and very occlusive. Aquaphor sits on the skin and doesn't absorb fully the way CeraVe does on me, so my lips stay hydrated and soft throughout the day/evening. (I also love Vanicream Ointment for my lips.) CeraVe, on the other hand, worsens my lip condition. I wonder if it's because of the ceramides/HA... my lips are chapped to begin with, and those two ingredients are best used on wet/damp skin or it can dry your skin out even more (I think?).
Anyway, definitely love both products and find them equally useful. CeraVe for daily use on everything, but my lips, for supple and dewy skin, and Aquaphor for severely dehydrated/chapped skin if you want to keep that part of your face/body moist and soft throughout the day/evening.
I appreciate your comment. I love CeraVe products but their healing ointment also dries out my lips. I’ve tried to figure it out. Your thoughts make sense. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips! (I think sometimes hyaloronic acid can actually be drying)
I've had the same thing happen with the Cerave on my lips and under my eyes. It seems to disappear!
Team Cerave! I love that stuff. It does wonders for my daughters eczema! Love your videos Dr Dray! Thank you!
Good thing I have both! 😍
CeraVe healing ointment honestly changed my LIFE! And I have you Dr Dray to thank for.
I already had the Aquaphor at home. Thought it was “ok” but lacked something. After watching your videos on Cerave I went and bought the 3oz tube. After using it for a couple of days, I went and bought a tub of it at Publix (cheaper than anywhere else). I could slather Cerave everywhere it feels so good and comforting especially on the lips. So team Cerave all the way!
Doc thank you for providing this platform. Not only are you generously helpful but the comments submitted are invaluable. It helps to know you are not alone and others have found the cause of their lip problems. Mine is the toothepaste!!!! I ❤ y'all.
I have both, bit I definitely prefer the Cerave. I would not have known about it without your recommendation. Thank you!
So love that dr dray doesn’t accept very many sponsors and honestly every thing she has recommended to change that i needed to fix my skin worked ! Literally she helped me get out of beauty purchase scams and saved me thousands I was spending on treatments and products that she taught me answers to questions about my skin and the products if anyone is new here look back she seriously deserves awards as a dermatologist and on CZcams for real. If you notice other derms on CZcams I won’t name but they have sooo many of the sponsors super expensive products that were previously ruining my skin. Thought I would never heal my skin until I found her channel can’t say enough good things thank you 😊 Andrea! Aka DR. Dray
Dr dray is young so she's going to have good skin
Honestly, if a derm is recommending expensive actives, I would wonder if they're actually a dermatologist. But I am also not American.
i use both of these daily, so i can definitely tell a difference. cerave seems to "melt" more/faster so i use whichever one best suits me for the area i'm treating. cerave for eye area and aquaphor for lips/nose, but either for nails and wound/scab healing! love them both so much!
I have both and I feel like cerave gets absorbed more quickly. I think I prefer the cerave for that reason
@@vvieites001 that’s because Cerave isn’t an occlusive. It can still sort of be used for slugging, and a lot of people love it. But in order for a product to be considered true occlusive, it must contain petroleum. But not everyone needs such a full spectrum occlusive like that
@@centillion5733 you mean Petrolatum & the CeraVe has 46.5% Petrolatum
This video came out in great timing. I just bought cerave healing ointment yesterday.
Gargoylesque Feet. Ohhh the visual🤣🤣. I love you Dr.Dray!
Perfect timing, thank you Dr Dray! I’m 5 weeks out from knee replacement (at 68 so much more than bargained for) and between the TED hose and non slip socks constantly on, not feeling like taking off, lotion, put back on, they are now a dry scaly mess - will definitely try this. Suppose either would be good for the scar too.
Aquaphor is what was recommended for me to prevent burns from radiation therapy. It really helped.
Ive been using Aquaphor for years and love it. I purchased a similar product by Walmart with the brand Equate which is supposed to be a less expensive version and it was so inferior to Aquphor.
Been using Cerave for me and my toddler. I love your recommendations!
Dr Dray you’re glowing!! Would love to see your makeup routine 🥰
Omg I’ve been waiting for this! I use both for my tattoos. Everyone raves about Aquaphor, and they’re really great but the Cereve ointment let alone their products in general, have always worked better for me. I found that the cereve ointment spread easier as well. Which for tattoo healing is a plus because extra tugging is just uncomfortable. So glad you did this!
Love the CeraVe healing ointment! And also love your energy in this vid, super adorable!
🙋🏻♀️Team Cerave! I’ve been slugging this ointment for a week now and I swear it has done wonders in just a few days.
I'm going to check out both of them. Great video.
I use the Walgreens dupe of Cereve Healing Ointment around my eyes at night. I love it and it’s a bit less expensive.
Thanks for the video. I’ve been using Aquaphor for years for healing tattoos & wounds in general. After watching your video, I went ahead and purchased Cerave. It’s so much better because it’s less greasy. It feels more like a lotion. I can only describe it as mixing petroleum with a Aveeno lotion. It makes my hands feel amazing.
Agree with your assessment. My Derm always recommends Aquaphor (burnt myself with a heating pad when I had pneumonia; when they burned off skin cancer, etc.). I bought many Cerave products based on your recommendations and I need to apply them more frequently including the ointment. I have an absolute ton of skin care products in my "inventory" including a 2-3 tubs of the Cerave ointment, several tubs of L'Occitane Shea Butter, many bottles of the Cerave pm treatment and tubs of the Cerave moisturizing cream (and also their soaps)... Several bottles of La Roche moisturizer and sunscreen. My old go to used to just be L'Occitane's Almond Skin Oil (love it) before you learned me on skin care -- LOL (you've been expensive girlfriend :) ).
I got back on Retin A and Azelaic Acid (Rx from Derm) -- I see her PA and she forced me onto Differin for a couple of years (long story, but, I actually quoted you to the PA regarding she had previously told me I had thin skin from too much Retin A (between 30 and 55 when she would not refill me); now using the differin on my forearms (inventory of a dozen tubes of the stuff)... I am aging and have a lot of spots (and one ended up as squamous cell carcinoma recently). I need to reduce spots so I don't have so many to watch for skin cancer (shock face). Hoping that 5 year break in Retin A can be corrected :(!!! I grew up in the desert in NV. Last 20 years in the Pacific Northwest (so, not nearly the sun as I also spent a couple of decades in CA).
I heard that individuals who live in arid climates like you do have skin dryness issues when using products that contain hyaluronic acid, so I guess it has the opposite of intended effect.
@@patriciagiles5833 I live in a wet climate now for the last 20 years.
@@bugsbunny2357 Yes, I see that now. Sorry.
I’m team Aquaphor! Thank you Dr Dray I also like the Eucerin healing ointment as it has a cream texture as it’s not as high in petroleum jelly as Cerave or Aquaphor!
The video I have been waiting for. I love the CeraVe while my husband adores aquiphor
Team CeraVe! It works wonders on my almost 70 y.o. skin. I've avoided using it around the eyes, but will add that to my ongoing skin care. Thanks for a great review!
Seeing Dr. Dray's healthy skin, it inspires to eat a lot of veggies, drink lots of water, cover myself in sunscreen & use tretinoin
She isn't even a real doctor. Scam videos
@UCGKhhRzpjkJz1Tl_l-haXgwwow I didn't know that 😱
This video was timely and useful!
Although Cerave healing ointment isn’t ready available in the UK, I have managed to get it from Amazon at moment, so I use Cerave in the summer and Aquaphor in the winter for slugging as Aquaphor is slightly thicker in consistency
Aquafor DEFINITELY lasts significantly longer presumably because of the lanolin. One shortfall with the cereve is the constant need to reapply.
I didn’t even know “body slugging” was a thing 😂 but I’ve been doing it for weeks and it’s made a HUGE improvement on my psoriasis.
What product do you use?
I love the CeraVe ointment... it lasts such a long time. I’ve used 100% USP mineral oil, in the laxative section, as a first step in a double cleanse recently and loved it! So affordable. I did the second cleanse in the shower by the way.
You wash your face with mineral oil?
I started body slugging too after a warm shower it seems to sink in pretty fast what a difference I love it
The cerave healing ointment helped get rid of my newly developed dermatitis on my eyelid. I also love it for slugging to and as a lip balm. Amazing stuff.
I have noticed a difference in my under eye and eyelid area since slugging Cerave ointment over my gentle eye cream. I cannot tolerate any type of retinol in eye cream so for me, this is the next best thing.
Of all the drugstore options, CeraVe is my fav! Lately I've been exploring smaller brands - currently using Build B-Balm, and interested in Chemist Confessions Balm Voyage next
Happy Friday! Love Cerave et Aquafor!
Happy Friday
THANK YOU for this VIDEO👍👍💪💪👏👏
Id been recommending the cerave over aquaphor for the same reasons, thanks for the validation!
Ok, I am 30 seconds in and I already know you prefer the Cerave one. You mention it regularly. But I am curious to see why. I really trust your judgment. You are very honest with us.
Thankyou so much for introducing the Cerave healing ointment to me. I would never had purchased this prior to watching your videos. It is an amazing product. It healed my sensitive skin and I slug now and my skin is the so soft and hydrated. Thanks DR Dray . You are the best!
Thanks! Love the two! ❤
All the times that dermatologist told me to use petrolatum on biopsies and skin cancer treatments, I wish they had explained as clearly as you why they were telling me to use it. I didn't understand why they recommended it and always thought other ointments were better. Now I will follow instructions better.
I agree 💯. I even apply an extra layer of Cerave to my eyes, neck and décolleté if I happen to wake up in the middle of the night to use the washroom. My eyes feel so much fresher when I wake in the am.
I've been slugging my full body with aquafor since you recommend with the robe situation every other night and my skin is the softest it's ever been probably since I've been a baby! Great tip! Thank you 🙂 I also have been putting it near an under my eyes after I put Tretinoin and my eyes are no longer dry!
What robe situation??? Explain please🙏
🙋♀️Team Aquaphor for the price point, but will consider trying the Cerave after watching this video. Thanks for doing this video
I’ve tried both and I’m Team CeraVe! I couldn’t live without it. 😀
Looking gorgeous while imparting knowledge❤️
As an ER doc and mom of 4 kids I have yet to find something I won’t put Aquaphore on. But, alas, years of only nights have not been kind to the fine lines around my eyes. I’m excited to try this slogging/slugging? thing with CeraVe. Thanks for the great tip!
I wish I knew everything you are explaining in your wonderful videos 40 years ago…. My skin would probably looked much better than what it is now. Thank you!
same here!
Thank you Dr Dray! I have been using CeraVe healing ointment as a eye cream after watching this video. I could see such a difference in just a few nights of using it with the hydration and fine lines around my eyes and it is so cheap!!! Thank you!
Hi! I’m using Aquaphor on my hands and body, and Cerave on my face. I find the Aquaphor much for cost effective on larger areas, but agree with you that the Cerave gives a little extra boost to my facial areas. I am 67, and just now discovered both after my lips got dried out during Covid, and was SHOCKED at how much better my eye and mouth area looks! I was afraid of my adult acne returning, but there has been no sign of that in months. In fact, I think I was aggravating my skin before I finally started babying it. Thanks for this video contrasting the two. I think I’m on the right track now.
Happy weekend Dr Dray...see you tomorrow x💙🤩
I love the Cerave !
I love using CeraVe healing ointment as an eye cream!
I love petrolatum and have tried all the major healing ointments. I continue to come back to Cerave’s (which Dr. Dray introduced me to) and plain Vaseline!
Cereve for face, neck and chest for sure... Aquaohor for injury and healing. But the aquaphor lip balm is awesome and easy to carry in purse or pocket, and there is an affordable SPF aquaphor lip balm!
Dr. Dray can I just say how amazing and insightful you are? Thank you so much for all of your videos and content I always learn so much! Aquaphor is near and dear to my heart it's my go to diaper cream that I used with all three of my children. I practically would have a tube of aquaphor in my hospital bag when I would deliver to start using as a diaper cream right away. I can't imagine not having Aquaphor, it really helped preventing the diaper skin irritations and rashes. While I was using it as a diaper cream I started putting it on my lips. While I don't use aquaphor for diapers anymore I still use it every night on my lips and also have it around for skin irritations and scrapes for the kiddos they're super active. I might try cerave on my lips and see how it goes I really like the ingredients it has. Thank you!
I was waiting for this video for the longest time ☺
I have both and find that Aquaphor way outperforms on the lips. It just lasts and protects way longer. I haven’t tried body slugging so looking forward to giving it a go
much appreciate your review!
I literally was at the store the other day wondering the same thing! I barely clicked on this video and based on the ingredients, the Cerave healing ointment I'm sure is better cause it has so many ingredients that put good things back into the skin, such as hyaluronic acid. I personally love the cerave healing ointment and I use it on my lips, under eyes, and even minor cuts.
Thank you Dr. Dray, for this video. I’ve used both and not paying attention to the details you brought up they felt the same. However a disappointing factor was Cera-Ve’s packaging; the silver printing comes off and gets onto your hands once it gets oily. Also I was able to get a very large size Aquaphor at Walmart for a great, great price. So I’ve been using it more.
And when you said BODY SLUGGING! that made me laugh 🤣
I love the cerave ointment. My son uses it on his hands at night to prevent hangnail irritation!
I use the Aquaphor on my granddaughter during a diaper change because my DIL started her on that and it is a good rash preventive. The few times a cold or illness gave her a rash due to loose bowels we used the white Aquaphor zinc ointment to clear it up. Both work well. Recently I had several noncancerous lesions ( actina keratosis) removed by a dermatologist and the first week she had me use plain old Vaseline. Afterwards, I am using a clean compounded cream of Fluorouracil and Calcipotriene. Seems to be doing it’s job although things get worse before they better. Enjoyed this video as always.
I like both products. My Gyn recommend Aquaphor and it works great for irritation, chafing, dryness. I also like the cerave .
You are simply the best and have truly changed my life for the better! I am more confident in myself and feel better about my use of products thank you your information! I have used all of these and my one issue is I get contact dermatitis right above my lip. But I am also very very prone to acne around the mouth. So while I would love to use an occlusive there for hydrating purposes I know better. I would LOVE for you to recommend a couple of the best hydrating creams for eczema that will not clog pores and cause acne like thick occlusives can! Thank you a million times Dr. Dray!
Love the cerave healing ointment and use it as a lip balm/all over product when necessary! I do agree that it is more hydrating than aquaphor, and i think that it is because the cerave has good old water in it, when aquaphor doesnt. The humectants in aquaphor are probably not holding onto much water if there isnt any in the product and isnt any on the surface youre applying to. Just my hunch!
I love both of these ointments, but I find that aquaphor gets along with my skin better and leaves my skin a bit softer overall. I find that aquaphor smooths my rough, scaly skin out better. Aquaphor is my miracle product ☺️
I am team CereVe all the way. I luv ALL their products.
They both are magical for my skin and my kids.
I loved the way my face looked afterwards and it's great for chapped or dry 👄 as you know as I follow you and you use it😃
👍🏼👍🏼
Very very very interesting video, I love both brands, I’m currently using the cerave healing ointment.
Team CeraVe!!! Even though I own both, I prefer CeraVe for my lips, my cuticles, for the skin around my eyes. It is a multi-tasker and I love it!.
You're getting more gorgeous as the years go by.
I am team cerave healing ointment!!! Love for my dry body, face, hands!!! ❤❤❤
I love all of the CeraVe products & I'm a brand loyal type person when it comes to a product that foes what it says it will do 🥰🙆♀️❣🙋♀️
I love your uploads on comparisons ❣
I LOVE ❤️ CeraVe Healing Ointment !!!! It's a nightly routine for my eyelids !!!!! Love this stuff. Vaseline good as well. ❤️
Cerave Healing Ointment is my baby for sure. For the past year, I have used it nightly as an eye cream, lip balm and around my fingernails to prevent peeling. I am so surprised how much my dry lips have improved plus stopped my skin from peeling around my fingernail bed. But the big bonus for me, as 59-year-old women; is that I barely have any wrinkles around my eye area. I also used it recently to quickly heal wounds from a bad fall. Love this product and Dr Dray!
Do you use any other treatment or serum for wrinkles?
Try it on the neck!! The results have blown me away. My neck looks tighter and obviously less dry and so less crepey!!!!
@@Amy_Stanmore Hi Angel, yes I do. I have used tretinoin every night for the past 2 years. This has made a big difference overall. However, I find that the Cerave healing ointment plumps up my skin around my eyes when I use it.
@@Calberta Thank you, I will do that for sure!
Perfect timing. My nearly 70 year old arms look so dry. I put Cereve on my arms last night. The arms look so much younger and softer today.
I just saw the Cetaphil one @ 🎯 the other day. Shea butter & petrolatum. Looks good haven’t tried it. Of the two here I like CeraVe but in general I’m team Vaseline. Woot woot! Thanks for all you do, Dr. Dray.
I got the new Eucerin Balm, and quite enjoy it, however, Cerave is your boo, and my boo too! It will always be the O.G. in my opinion. I hope you have a terrific weekend. See ya tomorrow
Thank you for this!
After watching your posts I started using the Cereve healing ointment over old laser knicks (burns) and over a depression on cheekbone and after two weeks of twice a day use (over makeup), depression is gone, and burn is fading. When I use it under my eyes at night, my under eye concealer doesn't cake. My face looks plumped and rejuvenated. I really appreciate the detailed evidenced based education.
Ha! My big chance to tell you that I’m LOVING the CeraVe tinted sunscreen that you recommended. It makes my old-lady skin look so good. Thanks!
Thanks for watching
@@DrDrayzday team cerave
I like it too.
Is good on dark skin too?
@@MP-hw6sx Maybe not-I’m a pale redhead and it has a little bit of a golden tan look on me. It’s pretty sheer, though, so I don’t think you’d get the cast you get from zinc oxide sunscreens.
Dr Dray, you've been on the Spanish news in the television a moment ago! 💖
OMGeeeee! Aquafor perfect for tattoo healing period and maintenance and Cereve Healing Ointment for under the eyes and lids at bedtime. I have both and love both!
