Product Information

The easiest way to find a moisturizer that works for you seborrheic dermatitis is to try out different ones, until you find something that works. As long as you know the fundamentals and make educated decisions you should have a reasonably high success rate. Having two or more products that work for you is better than just one as this gives your skin some variability and keeps it alive. However it’s still so hard to understand how all of these factors at play all together. Taking internal anti-fungals seems to produce fairly stable results. Perhaps this is because it is more effective at killing the dormant bacteria as it stays in the system for longer periods of time?

Everyone’s skin is different, what is recommended for some is not recommended for others. This also applies to seborrheic dermatitis, which also varies from person to person. Please be aware, that if you constantly force the skin to push moisture to the top, then you remove this moisturize by cleansing or washing you may end up pushing your skin to exhaustion. Learn to take it easy and let your skin recover on its own time. Moisturize only when absolutely necessary and try to take regular breaks from moisturizers. 4. Change It Up This multiple-award-winning cleanser is beloved by dermatologists and editors alike, and for good reason. It has a lotion-like texture that feels extremely soothing, which is great if you’re struggling with acne, dry skin, or skin conditions like eczema or rosacea. But anyone with normal to dry skin can use this non-foaming cleanser to gently lift away dirt, oil, and makeup without irritation. After evaluating the top 15 best Cetaphil skincare products, we noticed that this brand primarily focuses on using emollients as key ingredients. But the brand also includes some of the gold-standard skincare ingredients, like vitamin C and retinol. Let’s take a closer look at how these ingredients benefit your skin.

An emollient is an oily substance that fills in the spaces between dead skin cells, thus creating a smooth skin surface. Basically, an emollient is a film forming substance that makes the skin feel and look smooth. While an emollient will provide some occlusive effects, the primary function is to help soften the skin.

Cetaphil products are formulated with beneficial ingredients (emollients, humectants, vitamins, etc.) If I had to start over again the first thing I would try is the face wash and moisturiser I currently use (Cetaphil Restoraderm). I tried to outline the rest of the details on my current approach in this post. Maybe that could help. The effect it (Restoraderm) has for you seems different then for me. This whole time I’ve never had to actually scrub any flakes off. Except inside the ears for some reason, but it never gets irritated or red there. However, my face has been clear this whole time I’ve been using it since last summer. At the fundamental level, the majority oils likely fail to work because they feed the fungus (Malassezia) which is believed to cause seborrheic dermatitis. Oils causes the fungus to go on a feeding frenzy and this in-turn leads to aggravation of symptoms. This connection can be seen in many online discussion. Personally I believe trying to pin down foods that could be causing the seborrheic dermatitis actually enforced the idea and actually played a role in overall worsening of my condition.

Without these essential lipids, the barrier is weakened. A weak or damaged barrier leads to transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and may allow harmful things like allergens, bacteria, and irritants to pass through into the deeper layers of skin. It’s in Cetaphil Healthy Radiance Antioxidant C Serum. Instead of using pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Cetaphil utilizes a vitamin C derivative called sodium ascorbyl phosphate that is much more stable than pure vitamin C. Retinol is widely considered the gold standard ingredient in anti-aging skin care. That’s because retinol has been clinically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, shrink the appearance of enlarged pores, and more. If you look up just about any article written about the best facial cleansers, there is one product that is almost guaranteed to be on it — Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It’s one of those cult-favorite drugstore products that have maintained their popularity for decades. This Cetaphil cleanser originally debuted in 1947, but didn’t gain momentum until the 1960s.

Skin looking a little dull? If so, adding in a product that exfoliates (aka removes dead skin cells) can help to revive dull, tired skin. The Cetaphil Extra Gentle Daily Scrub is formulated to do exactly that. The formula contains surfactants to remove excess oil, dirt, and impurities while micro-fine granules from bamboo buff away dry, dull skin to support natural surface cell turnover. Plus, the formula is infused with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and panthenol to help maintain adequate moisture levels. The result? Softer, smoother, more radiant skin. There is a strong trend towards more natural and earthy products. This is great, however many things found in nature can aggravate your skin. Be skeptical with products coming from small unknown companies which make bold claims and say they are the best because they are all natural. For example, those with oily or acne prone skin should avoid products with comedogenic emollients, such as coconut oil and avocado oil, and only use products with non-comedogenic emollients, such as jojoba oil, safflower oil, and squalane, to prevent clogged pores and acne breakouts. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/ tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.It is true that there are some very amazing all natural products out there, but the majority seem to be pure rubbish. Plus they typically charge a significant premium relative to their not so natural counterparts. This is likely because the individuals producing them have little education in dermatology and their product has only been used on a limited amount of people. Many of the natural ingredients which they use do not work the same from one person to the next, or from one condition to the next.

Also if you find the time, a follow up on your treatment results would be beneficial to other readers as well. If you are using this product to help treat diaper rash, clean the diaper area well before use and allow the area to dry before applying the product. Great stuff, very diluted, contains parabens, but is never made my seborrheic dermatitis act up. It claims to contain hyaluronic acid and ceramides which on paper look amazing. However, I never really witness crazy results from this lotion (more for maintenance purposes). When using this stuff I found that less is more and when diluted with boiled water it makes it much better. This lotion was also very ineffective as a hand moisturizer. For me I believe it was definitely part of my recovery. It helped keep my skin normal enough and allowed me to better understand my own internal causes/triggers (without having to deal with the day-to-day issues). Interesting to see you reporting die off symptoms from the coconut oil. Even when consuming large amounts (4-5 tablespoons) I didn’t notice anything except a little nausea from trying to digest a big chunk of fat :). Too be honest some of things people report as die off stuff on forums, just seems like the actual side effect to whatever they’ve taken. For example drinking too much alcohol can make someone puke their guts out, one could make the case that these are die off symptoms from the alcohol killing all the bad stuff :). Whenever I tried to find actual medical documentation regarding the “die-off” effect, there was little actual academic literature on the subject.Also try to avoid many of the natural oils since they can serve as the perfect food for fungus which has been demonstrated to produce seborrheic dermatitis (Malassezia). This includes such things as coconut oil (lauric acid), sunflower oil (annui), or olive oil (oleic acid). However, some oils can not be utilized by the malassezia and actually demonstrate anti-malassezia potential. For example, caprylic acid is a unique fatty acid found in coconut oil, palm kernel oil and goats milk which has demonstrated anti-fungal properties which make it perfect for combating malassezia and seborrheic dermatitis. 3. Understand Moisturizer Fundamentals The seborrheic dermatitis is just a result that shows up on the skin. What happens locally on the skin, is skin cell production is over-stimulated. The turnover rate of the effected skin cells becomes even greater than infant skin. My hypothesis is that with such a rapid turn-over skin cells are simply not given enough time to properly mature and develop. Thus, foreign bacteria are more easily able to penetrate the outer most layer of the skin. Personally it’s my opinion that the recommended use of anti-fungals and antibiotics conceals the issue by removing foreign bacteria, but can push things further into progression. My belief is based on fairly new medical studies which have demonstrated that almost 90% of the skin cells are actually dormant. Only ~10% are actually metabolically active. Most antibiotic and anti-fungals work by inhibiting the reproduction of bacteria. However, the ~90% of dormant skin cells aren’t actually doing anything, so they remain unaffected. This might give the exact circumstances needed for foreign bacteria to invade more territory.
