Brands Compared
CeraVe or Cetaphil. The Ordinary or Paula's Choice. Every head-to-head we have run, with the ingredient lists that decided it.

Most brand rivalries come down to two or three ingredients and a price gap. A cleanser that costs three times more is not automatically three times gentler, and the cheaper one is sometimes the better formula for your skin — or the wrong one entirely. Each comparison below reads both ingredient lists, says who each product actually suits, and names the one we would buy.
