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

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:)

This is the Vs we never knew we needed!

What a beautiful human to help people and ask for nothing in return💛

You are so animated and lively in this video!

This is a fantastic video. I appreciate the clarity and professionalism of the speaker. Very helpful.

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.

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!!

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!

Yes hunny we love some aquaphor it makes my makeup look seamless

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'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.

Dr Dray you’re glowing!! Would love to see your makeup routine 🥰

Love the CeraVe healing ointment! And also love your energy in this vid, super adorable!

I have both, bit I definitely prefer the Cerave. I would not have known about it without your recommendation. Thank you!

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.

YESS I've been thinking about this question.

Thanks! Love the two! ❤

Team Cerave! I love that stuff. It does wonders for my daughters eczema! Love your videos Dr Dray! Thank you!

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.

This video was timely and useful!

I'm going to check out both of them. Great video.

Very very very interesting video, I love both brands, I’m currently using the cerave healing ointment.

Been using Cerave for me and my toddler. I love your recommendations!

This video came out in great timing. I just bought cerave healing ointment yesterday.

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 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!

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 KZfaq for real. If you notice other derms on KZfaq 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

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!

The video I have been waiting for. I love the CeraVe while my husband adores aquiphor

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!

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.

Good morning Dr. Dray! thanks for this informative video I always have Aquaphor on hand but will purchase the Cera Ve for face care night ritual.

CeraVe healing ointment honestly changed my LIFE! And I have you Dr Dray to thank for.

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!

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!

I was waiting for this video for the longest time ☺

Happy Friday Dr! Another great video. thank you for all your content!!

Happy weekend Dr Dray...see you tomorrow x💙🤩

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!

Good thing I have both! 😍

thanx for the info! this has been a big eye opener!

Id been recommending the cerave over aquaphor for the same reasons, thanks for the validation!

much appreciate your review!

Excellent content. I was first introduced to aquaphor a year ago for skin dermatitis on my hands(never had it before!). It's been a blessing and now use it a few times a week on my hands elbows... just for maintenance. Going to try cerave as an eye cream. Love that you went into detail of the strength of each product👍 Thsnks

THANK YOU for this VIDEO👍👍💪💪👏👏

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 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!

Seeing Dr. Dray's healthy skin, it inspires to eat a lot of veggies, drink lots of water, cover myself in sunscreen & use tretinoin

Looking gorgeous while imparting knowledge❤️

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.

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 ❣

Aquaphor is what was recommended for me to prevent burns from radiation therapy. It really helped.

Happy Friday! Love Cerave et Aquafor!

Thank you!!! I have both products and use for different situations depending on what’s going on with my skin. My eyelids have changed lately (puffy, irritation, flaky skin) both perform well, soothing my lids.

Yay, Happy Friday, Doc! 🌞

I love your Chanel. I’m 45. I just finished chemo. Would you please do 1 on the best stuff you can put in your hair for your hair to grow back. Thank you so much ❤️

This has been very helpful. I will keep a small Awuaforbin zmy first aid kit. Verve has saved my 👠. Thank you for always bringing evidenced based information

Thank you for this!

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.

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!

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.

Gargoylesque Feet. Ohhh the visual🤣🤣. I love you Dr.Dray!

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

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!

🙋🏻‍♀️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 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.

I love the cerave ointment. My son uses it on his hands at night to prevent hangnail irritation!

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.

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!

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!

I've been using Aquaphor since I originally got samples from a doc. A tube lasts a long time and I'm almost out. Will try Cerave next, especially since my cleanser and moisturizer are Cerave products (and there are coupons.. ha ). BTW, Dr. D.... I started giving sunscreen etc... as part of birthday gifts. :-). Have a good weekend, stay cool. Thanks for everything you do!

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

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.

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

😯I’ve been waiting for this video ! yES !!!!

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!

Happy Friday Dr Dray!🌸💞

Wow, very informative Dr. Dray, and your “WhoppieDOO” comment made me lol so thanks for that…I will be trying the CeraVe for my face, your explanation for both like in what instances for each was spot on.

Dr Dray, you've been on the Spanish news in the television a moment ago! 💖

I bought the Eucerin balm you recommended a couple videos ago. I don’t have dry skin, but will use it after I go swimming.

Loved this video thank you!

I use the Walgreens dupe of Cereve Healing Ointment around my eyes at night. I love it and it’s a bit less expensive.

Great informative video

I have both and like Cerave better too, thxs I enjoyed this content.

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😃

🙋‍♀️Team Aquaphor for the price point, but will consider trying the Cerave after watching this video. Thanks for doing this video

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).

Aquafor DEFINITELY lasts significantly longer presumably because of the lanolin. One shortfall with the cereve is the constant need to reapply.

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 LOVE ❤️ CeraVe Healing Ointment !!!! It's a nightly routine for my eyelids !!!!! Love this stuff. Vaseline good as well. ❤️

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.

Happy Friday, Dr. Dray 🌸🤍😊☀️👋

I would really love for you to do a Vaseline video 😍

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

I like both products. My Gyn recommend Aquaphor and it works great for irritation, chafing, dryness. I also like the cerave .

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 love the cera e ointment. I use it every night on my hands and feet. You mentioned this product a couple of years ago and now is a favorite. Thanks for all your hard work. 🥰😍❤️❤️❤️

I love your videos! I have recently started adding Vaseline to my nighttime routine and it has made a huge difference. My skin gets so dry in the winter it cracks. I want to love cerave, but for some reason my skin breaks out in large cystic acne clusters whenever I use a product with hyaluronic acid ☹️

They both are magical for my skin and my kids.
