I TESTED TIKTOK FAMOUS SKINCARE BRAND CERAVE FOR 4 WEEKS | ItsSabrina
welcome back to my channel i hope you’re all good if you’re new here click subscribe and join the family okay you’ve probably seen this brand all over tik tok this is where i first discovered cerave i’ve never heard of them ever before until i started seeing them pop up all over my feed on tiktok this brand here was created in 2006 but due to social media in the past year this has blown up there’s one influencer in particular who i follow called hyrum and he does skincare videos and gives people advice and he always pretty much recommends this brand so because i kept seeing it popping up i was like i want to try that myself because my skin was going for a very weird stage where it was dry but breaking out like mad plus i do actually suffer with really bad skin reactions which makes me super skeptical on trying new things before using the cerave products i would use la roche posay and i would use a toluene creamy cleanser which is this one here i put that on to help remove all my makeup and break it up sometimes i switch between that one and then this one here which is also by laura jose because these are gentle on the skin it means they worked perfectly with my skincare but sometimes i just felt like i needed to really get rid of all that dirt in the pores you don’t need like a deep deep cleanse but nonetheless these do a great job but i just wanted to try something new because my skin had been playing up in the past my skin has had reactions which look like this and like this it honestly worries me to try new things but because i’d seen so many people on tik tok try the brand and end up clearing up their skin i thought i need to try this the first product that i ended up purchasing is the cerave hydrating cleanser this one says it’s for normal to dry skin as it states on the bottle this cleanses and hydrates without disrupting the protective skin barrier of the face and body the free essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid mmm that sounded great okay the next cleanser i got was the foaming cleanser for normal to oily skin and this one once again says it removes oil without disrupting the protective skin barrier of the face and body because the foaming cleanser has this ingredient in it i thought this would be good for when i have any redness any inflamed skin from the breakouts or irritation because it can help with acne but also eczema as well at the same time which is a pretty good product because my skin is combination it can sometimes be on the more dry side or the more oily side it honestly just depends i also picked up the facial moisturizing lotion which is for normal to dry skin and this was to be used in the night time so that was the only time that i’d apply this because it says pm on it this is also fragrance free and doesn’t clog the pores so it’s really good for a nighttime use i’m now going to show you a clip of my skin before i started this journey my skin was going for a very weird stage at this time and i had so much irritation on the top of my forehead like tiny little bumps on the forehead and all along the cheekbones along the mouth honestly my skin was really irritated by something i don’t know what it was the chin was an extremely bumpy kind of area because my job involves trying out new makeup all the time i don’t know what irritates my skin i have no idea i’m now going to show you a clip of four days in of using these two products okay just these two alone i didn’t introduce the foaming cleanser at this stage so just the hydrating cleanser and then the facial moisturizing lotion for the evening let’s play that clip and the consistency of it was really weird it wasn’t as milky as my la roche-posay ones were okay so i had to put spot cream on because i noticed like obviously here the spots were getting worse i decided to put this whipped cream all along here as you can see it’s kind of flaky now but i was getting all breakouts all along my mouth even on here like here yeah the skin has actually got worse from using these products guys because i wasn’t too sure whether it was the moisturizer or the hydrating cleanser that was irritating my skin i took those two completely out of my routine and just introduced the foaming cleanser into my normal routine and started using that in the bathroom now and i’m going to put my hair up wash my hands and i’m going to use the foaming cleanser because in all honesty i actually think the milky cleanser is making me break out a little bit um see the light hitting my skin all along here i had breakouts here i already had them the head hasn’t improved whatsoever but i have more around my mouth now so um yeah i’ve been obviously sticking to using the hydrating cleanser but i think i’m gonna wash my face this morning with the foam in one because this is for normal toilet skin and i’m combination so excuse if you can hear like the fan in the bathroom but um yeah anyway let’s wash my face wash my hands first this might be right either you feel it or you don’t might give it a try now i’m actually going to share with you a clip of me when i’ve got my makeup on and you can see that i still have the bumps irritation all over the skin but it did look a little bit better compared to when i was using the hydrating cleanser so i was like okay this seems to be working because i wasn’t sure what was missing on my skin maybe around two weeks in i thought let me try this as a one-off one night let me just try this and see how it goes and i won’t use the moisturizer so i tried this and to be honest with you the next morning i did have a few more little breakouts so i was like okay i cannot use that then that is not agreeing with my skin i needed to break it up so that i knew exactly what was working for my skin and what wasn’t two things i really like about this lotion is it absorbs super fast into the skin i absolutely love the fact that it just absorbed straight in there and the actual consistency of it is really nice and thin it just goes on a little bit like water and just absorbs straight in there so i really did like that however because my skin was kind of reacting a little bit to it i just decided to take this out of the equation after using it for two weeks and purely just focus on using the foaming cleanser so what i then done i’d use a micellar water or my creamy cleanser from the rush pose and then i’d use my firming cleanser just as a double sort of cleansing so let’s see where my skin is at right now from using these products for three weeks good morning so i’ve just come and sat in front of the big window so that you guys can actually see my skin at this point in time i’ve been using the cerave products for three weeks now which is actually a lot longer than i thought i’d try them out for but i just wanted to give them a fair test to see how they get on so i’m gonna zoom you in and show you what i’m working with right now you see my little baby in the background it’s just my baby dog okay here we go don’t you remember in the first little clips i had a lot of bumps on my forehead the bumps on the forehead have cleared up i still have the skin breakouts along here and when i say breakouts i don’t mean like whiteheads and stuff like this mine are more small under the skin spot so just like a little tiny bump as such um yes i still have those along here see if i move you can actually see the little cluster here can you see that you can see the texture for sure i cannot believe here and then just along my chin i still have the little tiny breakouts in fact i actually woke up one on the top of my lip um right here as you guys can see so but you can see there’s like a little cluster there so i’ve turned on the exposure on the camera so you guys can see the marks a bit more clearly because right now i’m actually quite tan so i’m going to turn the settings down so you’ll see what the true color is right now because i’ve been out in the sun i turn ridiculously fast i take after my mom i didn’t want to come on and just show you like this because you can’t really see it as much whereas when i turn on the exposure you can see the chin area a bit better it’s more of a texture and like under the skin bump issues right now i’m gonna go to the next clip where i’m gonna give you guys a rundown on these products what i think what they helped with what they didn’t help with all of that stuff but i just wanted you to see my skin naturally with nothing on it in natural light so you can see it for yourself and see what we’re working with anyways let’s go to the next clip from a price point perspective you get a lot of products with some key ingredients in there and overall the product for the price is really good but one thing i think we all have to bear in mind especially when we see a skincare brand all over social media is everybody’s skin is so different and how you react to it may be different from how i react to it my skin is very sensitive guys i can use one wrong product and then boom i wake up the next day my face is covered like it is so sensitive it’s unreal and if i’m completely honest with you i was expecting better results from these products i’m not gonna lie i saw some of the incredible transformations these products have done it took me hours to look into these products to see what ones would suit me and my skin i do think my skin has got better over time but as i mentioned i did have to go back to using my original cleansers and then just incorporating the foaming cleanser the only reason i’m comparing these products to la roche-posay is because this is what i use this is what my dermatologist recommended me to use and that’s what i’ve stuck to using for such a long time and then i slowly incorporate other cleanses into my routine or try some things out but they’re the only ones that i can go off and fully compare it to because i have been using those cleansers for over a year so because of this i know what i’m talking about when comparing them to my original cleanser the foaming cleanser i’m still gonna use however the hydrating cleanser i will not be reusing ever again that’s just my personal experience you may use this and these may work an absolute dream for you however these two for me i just will not be using i’ll be giving them away to someone i know who has dry skin they can have them they can try them because i will not be reusing these ever again if there’s any other skincare brands that you see all over your social media comment them down below and i will look into them i do prefer to use skincare brands that are catered to a little bit more sensitive skin if they’re very heavily fragrant i cannot use them so i have to stick on more the natural side or more the very minimal ingredients or ones that are catered to sensitive skin or have been made with dermatologists then definitely comment them down below so i can look into them and see if they have any sort of products that i could potentially test of course this video did take me quite a while to film because i had to trowel these out for a fair amount of time i was going to just trial them for a week and i thought that is not enough for my skin to adapt and to get to use these products so i’ve been using these for just over three weeks now probably a month even i do hope you have found this video helpful in some way because sometimes you can see things plus it all over social media and just assume because you’ve seen it everywhere that you need to try it and give it a go when realistically that’s what influences youtubers people who do social media we’re here to try these things out so you guys can look at reviews before you make a decision yourself you know that is my job i’m here to test things out show new things to you so i can try it before you buy it i’m just a wrapper what can i say i’m gonna try anyways i’m gonna love and leave you my instagram is on the screen if you feel like follow me over there i post all the damn time and click the like button if you enjoyed this video and i’ll see all you lovely lot in the next video bye
