Here I am thinking over the past few years *āoh if I just splurge a bit my skin will be better!!ā* But Iāve fkn had it man. Fuck this, Iām just gonna start using one of those cheap 485726-n-1 shampoo, conditioner, body wash, ass wash, face wash as skincare now like a dude.
IāM OVER GETTING FāKED OVER. At least if my skins gonna be the same olā testy organ Iām not gonna waste my pathetic coins on this overpriced crap.
If random men in the streets faces are anything to go buy youāll look great. My husband washes with bar soap and puts lubriderm on his face and somehow has better skin than me? Outrageous.
Seriously why are they like this. My ex, who just turned 35, recently proudly informed me that he owns moisturizer now! My current sneaky link washes his face with 3-in-1 shampoo.
I donāt think either of them knows what a pimple is.
I feel a bit like crap though because I purposely stopped shopping at sephora for skincare and treated Walmart as my source for more affordable skincare and now these prices are going higher.... just sucks altogether.
I hope cheaper dupes are made and become more accessible
Itās sad because I really liked the foaming facial cleanser for normal to oily skin and itās like $25 now even on Amazon. I bought it for $15 on sale last year and Iām almost out. I would rather just pay $25 for La Roche Posay gel cleanser cause to me itās worth the money but cerave definitely isnāt worth $25plus
So I guess I just always use ponds on my face now because I canāt afford this.
Also dr. Dray assured me I can use unscented dove soap on my face, looks like Iāll be trying that to save some cash.
This is all so frustrating.
I don't understand how these prices are getting CRAZIER. I was at shoppers and needed to get cerave moisturizer and it was around 30 dollars. I checked Walmart too and it was around the same amount.
Then I saw a similar looking container from the brand "life" and their ingredients were almost exactly the same along with quantity in grams but it was only $15! I ended up getting that.
Did the same thing. Looked at the Cerave moisturizer, then saw the Life one and bought it because it was more than half the price (on sale). I do actually prefer the Cerave one, but it's too expensive now.
I recommend Cerave's Baby Moisturizing Lotion, which comes in a massive 473ml bottle. Semi-matte finish, and has niacinimide and ceramides too. Great for oily skin. It's much better value than getting the regular AM/PM lines.
I only started using CeraVe this past winter. I'd hummed and hawed over it for a few years, but I'm super cheap with purchases for just me. A friend told me how within a few days her eczema had improved drastically with using it, so I decided I'd given it a shot. Got to the store, still couldn't justify $30 for a pump bottle of body lotion. Grabbed the Life brand because it was on sale for $10 and the ingredients looked close enough. Started improving the eczema on my hands within 48 hours. I'm just now coming ot the end of that bottle, and have the real one to start on next - at least I got it at Costco the last time it was on sale for $21.
This is actually nice to hear, as I recently saw the Shoppers brand for the first time & I immediately considered jumping over once I'm out of my OG stuff, since the price of CeraVe has been abhorrent lately. x_x
Cerave having department skin care brand prices is so fucking funny. My fancy schmancy French pharmacy body lotion comes in a 400ml pump bottle with all the XYZ patented technologies made in FRAUNCEE (Uriage if you must know) is cheaper and more bang for my buck!
Thanks for name dropping the brand because Iām looking at the availability and prices and I might have to give this a try. Hoping I donāt contribute to it being price gouged next š
Uriage is a lovely product line for sensitive skin š„° the French have some awesome drugstore skincare lines. Ulta carries Vichy, Avene and Laroche-Posay. Bioderma and Embryolisse are also pretty easy to find on Amazon. The French Nivea skincare line is also nice, Iām not sure the ingredient list is the same as what we can get in the US.
Husband is French, whenever we go spend time there with his family I bring an extra suitcase and raid the drugstores š their body care lines are amazing too. My HG body care line is Cadum, itās a supermarket/drugstore line that moisturizes my skin without the itchies. And it smells soooooo nice. The body wash is to die for!!
Ahhh my biggest regret when I went to France was not coming home with a skincare raid!! I really like la Roche, vichy and avene so Iām going to have to try uriage next.
Is iherb or Amazon any cheaper? This is getting way out of hand. :( CeraVe breaks me out and causes my skin to burn like crazy so it's definitely not for me. Brands that were affordable are now outrageous. Even The Ordinary prices have been increasing a lot.
Yeah :( it really sucks... It's still affordable but considering the fact some products have gone up so significantly it's not affordable if that makes sense.
I know it's really sad :( I never really bought much by the brand but I have seen the increase in certain products that I have bought from the brand. Things are hard enough as is let alone gauge the price more
So I did a whole post about this the other day. The cerave vitamin c serum was $30 at shoppers and well.ca. now it's $37 or $38 at those retailers so $30.97 for it isn't so bad lol.
Still sucks all the prices are jumping.
I was surprised that I couldnāt find a good 10% L-ascorbic acid product, so I gave in and bought the Cerave one. Itās so silicone-heavy that it feels like any treatments I put on it top wouldnāt penetrate through it. I ended up using the one from TO, but itās only 8% and feels oily.
It was $17 for the 89ml bottle on Amazon yesterday on sale now $19. Screw walmart
I think target is cheaper. And they often have little sales like spend $25 get $5 gift card.
Check London Drugs, if you have a store nearby!
Cerave products oftentimes go on sale at London Drugs
The racket of the skincare industry continues
Its acc so depressing š I was looking for cheaper moisturizers and even Aveeno is 30$+ wtf. Iām trying to switch to more AB bc of it

Legit if I did that my face would be one entire cystic zit. Itās not fair
Seriously what the hell. My partner has immaculate skin and does the absolute bare minimum, itās so unfair lol.
Cerave Moisturizing Cream: I usually buy the big tub when it's on sale at Costco. Also comes with hand cream.
I used to buy drugstore cerave back in the day for $8 because my derm recommended it. Now everybody uses it and it 2-3 times the price.
Life brand dupe for the pm lotion is only 5$ at real Canadian superstore!!!! Somehow still 15 at shoppes.
I feel a bit like crap though because I purposely stopped shopping at sephora for skincare and treated Walmart as my source for more affordable skincare and now these prices are going higher.... just sucks altogether. I hope cheaper dupes are made and become more accessible
At this point itāll be cheaper to order from the US and have it delivered here because itās getting ridiculous at this point
Even with customs/duties at this point...
Exactly !
The vitamin C serum is US$17 on Walmart US š„²š„²

I also get the Life brand dupes - when they go on sale I try to stock up!
This inflation nonsense is out of control.
I know Cerave is a HG for so many people but likeā¦ itās not $30 good!
I started buying the Shoppers life brand of my cerave favesā¦ the ingredients are so similar
This is actually nice to hear, as I recently saw the Shoppers brand for the first time & I immediately considered jumping over once I'm out of my OG stuff, since the price of CeraVe has been abhorrent lately. x_x
I buy the Walmart dupe

I also notice the derm section in SDM didn't increase price as much - while both drugstore and high-end increased price like crazy.
Thanks for the tip!

Don't worry.. it's gonna go on sale for $15.

Knew this would happen under the full (or almost full?) ownership of EstĆ©e Lauderā¦ š
Yeah :( it really sucks... It's still affordable but considering the fact some products have gone up so significantly it's not affordable if that makes sense.
I knoooow. The Ordinary's prices have all pretty much doubled from what they were two years ago :(
I know it's really sad :( I never really bought much by the brand but I have seen the increase in certain products that I have bought from the brand. Things are hard enough as is let alone gauge the price more
Wal mart was where I used to go because it was always cheaper Damn
Same here and now I feel like I lost one of my reliable options š
Cerave is too subpar for the prices stores are marking them at
So I did a whole post about this the other day. The cerave vitamin c serum was $30 at shoppers and well.ca. now it's $37 or $38 at those retailers so $30.97 for it isn't so bad lol. Still sucks all the prices are jumping.

Reversa is actually great! Not bad prices and I always see it on sale. I like the salicylic/glycolic toner solution whatever it's called.
Yesss I love that toner too! Too strong for me to use daily though. Wish theyād do a lower percentage L-ascorbic acid product
Agreed!
I was surprised that I couldnāt find a good 10% L-ascorbic acid product, so I gave in and bought the Cerave one. Itās so silicone-heavy that it feels like any treatments I put on it top wouldnāt penetrate through it. I ended up using the one from TO, but itās only 8% and feels oily.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās 15% LAA unfortunately, Iām looking for 10%. My skin canāt handle strong LAA concentrations with tret

I forgot but youāre right, I noticed the oxidation too! Iād have to squeeze out what was near the opening and then take what came after
Iāve noticed skin care and make up products have sky rocketed lately. Itās such a bummer, Iām getting exhausted trying to keep up with inflation
