Foaming facial cleansers are a great way to combine a cleanser to remove excess skin cells,
oil, dirt, makeup, and other pollutants from the skin
while the Foam acts as cushion that guards your skin from abrasion, harsh rubbing and
drying out. Which is why low key I love foaming cleansers, in todays video, ill be comparing 2
of the most popular, budget friendly foaming cleansers on the market, the cerave foaming
facial cleanser vs. the cetaphil gentle foaming cleanser. So definitely stay tuned till the end,
and youll know exactly which one is better and why you would want to go with that one.
Ive been getting a lot of questions on different products, and which one is better
for each skin type, so I decided to make a video on these 2 amazing products. I'll be
making more comparison videos in the future, just like this one with a lot more products,
so make sure to hit that subscribe button down below, to not miss out on future videos. Also,
If you learn anything in this video, give it a like down below too,
itll seriously make my day, and itll help others find this video as well.
To make this video hopefully easy to follow and easy to refer back too. Ill first start
out with what the Cerave Foaming facial cleanser has in common with the the Cetaphil Gentle foaming
cleanser, then ill break down each of them into their own respective components, weigh the pros
and cons so you dont have too, and then finish it off with my final take. And for full disclosure,
I bought these with my own money, no one has sent them to me, so my review is totally mine and i
think its great to be transparent about that. So please like the video, if you enjoy transparency.
As far as what they both have in common, both of these are foaming cleansers which means,
they help to reduce the friction from your hand to face to prevent skin pulling when washing.
They both contain the AHA called citric acid, both of them do not contain any harsh alcohols,
common allergens, fragrances, oils or silicones, which im a big fan of when
cleansers dont include these ingreidents. And they have a total of 3 common ingredients, water,
glycerin, and citric acid, and both do an amazing job at brightening the face and removing skin
impurities for a thorough and effective cleanse, all while being non comedogenic.
Now lets dive a little deeper on this one here, the cerave foaming facial cleanser: There are 3
notable differences about this one that stands out to me. The first being that it contains
niacinamide, a form of vitamin b3 that is present in the skin repairing process and softens fine
lines. The second is that it contains essential ceramides, which are intercellular lipids
that help bond skin cells together to create a healthy barrier and hold in water. And lastly,
it contains a form of hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid that acts as a humectant to hold water even more
and rehydrate the skin. So in addition to a thorough and effective cleanse, youre getting
the benefits of niacinamide, essential ceramides, and hyalouronic acid, which you dont find in the
cetaphil one. So if your skin is a little bit more on the oily side, is more prone to redress,
and is acne prone, you may lean more towards the cerave one as the inclusion of niacinaide really
gives you that boost of benefits. And if you feel a lot drier after a wash and your skin feels taut,
the ceraves blend of actives helps prevent feeling too dry after the wash.
Now lets get into the cetaphil gentle foaming cleanser. Now straight away,
you can tell the cetaphil wants you to know that this is a gentle cleanser. But what makes it that
way? Lets take a look at what that may be, well, in the ingredients list you can see it contains
panthenol which is a skin conditioning agent which helps prevent moisture loss
and helps reduce redness that you may experience after washing. The gentle foaming cleanser offers
up some comparable ingredients to Cerave as well. It’s made with a skin conditioning
vitamin complex that includes vitamins B5, E, and glycerin. Vitamin B5 is a provitamin with
regenerative, healing, moisturizing and protective properties, while vitamin E,
or tocopheryl acetate is a potent antioxidant that improves cell function. So getting these benefits
throughout your wash makes it that much better. Also the Cetaphil cleanser has a self-foaming
pump which creates an airy lather. Its an instant foam, as opposed to ceraves gel foam, which means
It will dissipate pretty quick after you put it on, and it also rinses away easily too. Which
idk if that matters to you. So if sensitivity is a concern for you, you dont want too many
actives and ingredients all at once, and like the idea of vitamin e and glycerin with your cleanse,
without feeling too dry after the wash you may lean more towards the cetaphil one.
None of them really make your skin irritated or feel harsh in anyway and both do an amazing job
at making your face feel fresh and clean. So it really does come down to
what your preferences are with the information. Personally ive always been a fan of products
with the least amount of ingredients, since theoretically there will be less chances
for your skin to react to something, theres a total of 12 ingredients in the cetaphil foam
vs 24 in the ceraves foam. Which doesnt make a big difference,
especially when all the ingredients in both products are purposeful and safe.
Now, no video is complete without really addressing some concerns
with both products. Because remember, this is all about transparency.
As far as the cerave foaming cleanser goes,
one thing in the ingredients that might give you a little trouble is the sodium chloride in it,
its not a big deal at all, im just nit picking at this point. The sodium chloride may make
your skin feel a little drier and possibly make it more prone to acne, but I feel like because
cerave uses the ceramides in the foam, it may offset the sodium chlorides negative effects.
And as far as the cetaphil foaming cleanser goes. They have a pro version of this on the market,
which you might have grabbed or use, but it has a sneaky fragrance in it which might be irritating,
so make sure to grab the gentle one as there are no fragrances with the gentle one.

Until then, I aspire to see you all live your best life, and ill see you guys on the next one
