Cerave has updated the ingredients of this product as per their website. It appears they have added Tocopherol and
Petrolatum to the list. There is also the matter of Cetearyl Alcohol being a Fungal Acne Trigger, which makes this product no longer FA safe. See the ingredient notes section.

I tried this product as I was needing something more moisturising for my dry skin than just squalane oil (which I currently use). I used the ‘Dry to Very Dry Skin’ version in specific areas (around mouth; on forehead) for a short amount of time so I could see controlled results, and both areas have broken out in spots. It looks like my fungal acne has become more pronounced too. Not sure which ingredient(s) exactly is causing it, but I don’t think I’ll be using it again. I use other products with glycerin in them so I don’t think it’s that, but perhaps it could be the Phytosphingosine (listed above in ingredients ^).
Also it’s worth mentioning that I didn’t find this moisturising enough for my dry skin.
Apart from that it soaks into the skin easily and feels very light – both pluses for anyone else looking to use it.
Thanks to everyone for this site – it’s an amazing tool to have and I appreciate all the time and effort that’s gone into it!

Hi Heikan,
It could also be the ceramides or their MVE Delivery Technology or both.
What’s the rest of your routine like?
Does the same thing happen if you try The Baby Version?
You could also try something with urea in it Which is very good for dry skin.
A surprise section will soon be added to this community to help our user base in situations similar to this one. Typically updates are rolled out every 30 days or so, stay tuned

Hello and thank you for this site!
I really wanted to love this cream but it gave me a rash.
Since I am sensitive to Glycerin (I think), I wonder what the following sentence means in the ingredient list – ” Another approach is to pair these glycerin-based products up with some form of chemical exfoliant or active, salicylic acid, urea, sulfur, etc.”
Does this affect the glycerin somehow?

Hi Kat,
So sorry to hear that this isn’t working for you, in response to your question, what we are saying here is that if there is an ingredient in your routine that promotes the growth of Malassezia Folliculitis even in small concentrations and especially a very common compound like “Glycerin” which is practically in every product, you also should make use of an anti-fungal/active ingredient like Nizoral Shampoo or Happy Cappy Medicated Shampoo for example.
The idea here is that although the yeast will try to divide or grow by feeding on the ingredients it can metabolize, it will be doing so in a very hostile environment, thus limiting and halting its ability to proliferate, in essence causing it to die.
Can you say if this is an MF/FA flare-up or just an allergic reaction?
Could you also share the rest of your routine with us, so we can dissect it?
