Hi y’all! Cerave is such a popular brand - especially their cleansers. However, I heard they are not entirely cruelty free and it can be hard to get your hands on their products in some countries and their products tend to be sold out sometimes. 

I recently came across some cruelty free dupes of the Cerave cleansers by Revolution Skincare. The cleansers contain ceramides and their formulas are very similar to the Cerave ones (so also no fragrance and no alcohol), but…. they are cruelty free! 💚🌿

• The hydrating cleanser by Revolution Skincare is a dupe of the hydrating cleanser by Cerave
• The foaming cleanser by Revolution Skincare is a dupe of the cream to foam cleanser by Cerave
• The smoothing cleanser by Revolution Skincare is a dupe of the SA/renewing cleanser by Cerave

What are your thoughts on these dupes? Have you already tried them or are you going to try them? Would love to hear your thoughts! 💙

Cruelty free Cerave dupes 🌿🐰

I have red, blemished skin on only one of my two cheeks. What can this be and what should I do?

Red skin and blemishes on one side of my face, what to do?

Hi everyone! I am looking for a serum to introduce into my skincare routine. I have quite a balanced skin without any big issues luckily, but I want to start using an anti aging serum. A bonus would be if the serum also brightens and clears the skin. I look forward to your suggestions!

Searching a serum 🔍

Hey y’all! I took a break from skincare for years because I didn’t have any major skin concerns and I literally did not use ANY product on my skin for YEARS (no, not even SPF on the daily… not even a cleanser)

However, recently I’ve gotten into skincare more because I just want to take care of my skin better and protect it from the sun and prevent signs of adging as much as possible. I started using a gentle cleanser and a moisturizer with spf and a moisturizer for at night.

All of a sudden, little red spots started to appear on my cheeks, mainly on one side… Can this be from suddenly putting stuff on my face? Anyone experienced this before? Would appreciate all the help 🙏

HELP: Red spots after not doing skincare

Hi everyone! I am looking for a moisturizer for my evening routine. I have a balanced skin that can be sensitive, so no fragrance or alcohol please!

I already had these in mind. Do any if you have any experience with these products? And if yes, what are your thoughts on them? Or do you have other recommendations for me? 

Would love to hear from you all 💜

The search for a PM moisturizer 🔍

Honestly, have not found anything negative uet except for the smell that might be a dealbreaker for some. However, I really don’t mind it that much!

The Vinosun Protect Fluid Ocean Protect from Caudalie may just be the perfect spf! First the basics: the SPF offers very high protection (SPF50+) against UVA/UVB rays and contains no perfume. 

The spf is also meant to reduce and prevent (pigment) spots caused by the sun. The spf is suitable for sensitive skin and vegan and does not contain oxybenzone and octinoxate (these chemical filters are bad for corals and the aquatic environment). Caudalie also states that they are committed to recycling as much plastic as possible to save the ocean. Very environmentally/ and animal friendly! 

But… is it also a good product? Absolutely! I have never had an spf with such a nice light and liquid texture! I think that makes it perfect for under makeup or in combination with other skincare. The SPF absorbs quickly and has a slightly dewy, non-greasy finish. It isn’t sticky at all. There is also no whitecast!! Applying is also easy due to the packaging. Make sure to be careful though: the texture is really very light and runny! As far as the smell is concerned, despite the fact that there is no perfume in it, there is a light smell to the sunscreen. The smell is not really distinguishable but it does stay for a while. However, I do not find the smell disturbing. 

Are you looking for the perfect SPF 50? Then this Caudalie might be for you! 
✅ Light texture
✅ Dewy to matte finish
✅ Perfect in combination with make-up or other creams and skincare
✅ High sun protection
✅ Not sticky
✅ No white cast
✅ Environmentally and animal friendly

I have nothing bad to say up until now. However, I do not think this is the best for extremely dry skin. It might not be hydrating enough in those cases. 

I have been wanting to buy this product for a while. I was looking for a lightwight PM moisturizer for my normal to oily skin for in the summer. 

This moisturizer doesn’t contain any alcohol or fragrance, which was also something I was looking for because my skin is sensitive.

This gel moisturizer is meant to hydrate and stengthen the skin and is marketed as suitable for dry and sensitive skin. I wouldn’t say it is for dry skin, I’d rather say it is for combination, normal and oily skintypes. 

The moisturizer contains a few star ingredients:
🌟Beta Glucan: holds onto moisture which results in long-lasting hydration, and it improves skin elasticity for firmer skin.
🌟 Red fruit extract: rejuvenating dull-looking skin.
🌟 Centella Asiatica: calm and heal irritation.
🌟 Niacinamide: know for it’s many benefits, such ad anti-aging and reducing hyperpigmentation.

This moisturizer is indeed very lightweight and absorbs extremely fast! My skin feels soft and hydrated right after applying. It has no scent and it does not feel sticky. It is also very affordable! I am enjoying this product a lot up until now. 

The lipbalm contains fragrance. I was aware of this when I bought it, but I thought I’d give it a try anyway. Unfortunately, my lips always get a little irritated when I use lipbalms with fragrance… 

❌Contains fragrance
❌The packaging could be better

I was looking for a lipbalm with SPF and this one was cheap and worth a try. I would say I’d recommend this one if you are on a budget.

The positives of this lipbalm are as follows:
✅ Pleasant, creamy feeling once applied
✅ The smell is very neutral, which I appreciate
✅ It contains SPF 30 ☀️

Update: unfortunately my skin does not react well to this cleanser. I’d say there’s nothing I dislike about the product yet. However, it might not be moisturizing enough if you have very dry skin. 

❌ Not suited for extremely dry skin

Update: unfortunately my skin does not react well to this day cream.

This moisturizer exceeded my expectations! It’s not even 10 euros and it is very worth the price you pay for it. It even contains SPF 30 and hydrates the skin. It doesn’t contain any fragrance or alcohol, which also makes it very suitable for sensitive skin. It’s even especially formulated for sensitive skin!

✅ Cheap! So much value for money
✅ The pump makes it very easy to get the right amount of product out of it
✅ Suitable for sensitive skin 
✅ Applying is very easy and pleasant
✅ Leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated, and doesn’t get sticky or shimmering
✅ Absorbs into the skin very easily
✅ Contains SPF 30

Update: unfortunately my skin does not react well to this cleanser.

I really dislike the packaging. It has a twist cap and I hate that so much. It’s just very uncomfortable to open and close, especially with hands that are wet. If this product came with a pump, it would be perfect. 

Update: unfortunately my sensitive skin does not react well to this cleanser.

This face wash is made for sensitive skin and contains no perfume or alcohol. This is something I always look for in my skincare products! 

The face wash is indeed very gentle on the skin. It starts as a gel and doesn’t really turn into a lot of foam, which I personally think I prefer over a gel that starts to foam a lot.

The gel feels very pleasant on the skin and gets rid of dirt very well. I haven’t used it to remove very heavy make-up yet, so I can’t judge how effective it is in that case yet. 

My skin feels very soft after using the face wash. I experienced no irritation whatsoever and the face wash also did not strip my skin.

Overall I am very satisfied with this cleanser, especially for the low price!
