I’ve never tried Walmart beauty or personal care products before, but the other day, I was browsing the Walmart website and I noticed that Equate (Walmart’s house brand) makes a generic version of CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion. This post will compare these two products' ingredients side by side to see if you it’s worth splurging on CeraVe, or saving a few bucks by buying Equate instead.

If you have acne, an oily T-zone, and sensitive skin, you probably participate in a neverending quest for the best nighttime facial moisturizer. In the past, I’ve been pretty happy with CeraVe PM, but a few months ago, I decided to try CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion instead. So far, it’s been a great lightweight option for humid summer nights, when my skin isn’t quite as dry as it is in the winter.

I have a graveyard of products, collecting dust in the back of a closet. I haven’t thrown them out because that feels like a waste…but I don’t want to use them, either. I stop using them because something feels off—they’re the wrong texture, or they have a weird smell, or they irritate my skin a little bit. These are what I call disappointing products, and today I have another one for you: Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream.
