Vegan alternative to Cetaphil?

A quick google search will get you these options!

:)

Have you looked into DDF glycolic products? It keeps my acne under control and I can tell when I have run out.
Other products that might be exactly what you’re looking for can be found at borba.com. They approach skincare from the inside AND the outside.

@asmonet: I already Googled this. I always do that before asking here so as not to “offend” the community. I didn’t find much help, thus I’m asking here.

While I’m very interested in learning about more natural cleaners, I must say that I LOVE Cetaphil. Keeps my skin soft and like 90% acne free.

What about Purpose? Is it animal tested also?

@ chyna: Purpose does test on animals according to Skin Deep (http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/brand.php?brand_id=431)

Well that covers both of my skin cleansers.
damn.

Get a bar of green tea tree oil soap. It works wonders.

@suzyq2463: I assumed you hadn’t because those pages are full of Vegan products. If nothing there tickles your fancy then I have no other ideas.

@asmonet: Sorry. I’m just frustrated. I’ve been using Vegan/Animal friendly products for several years now, and I just can’t seem to find anything that really helps. Seems like, if it’s filled with all natural ingredients and no animal products, it’s about as effective as water; but, if it’s filled with chemicals and tested on animals it gets rid of zits. I love Haushka stuff (not all Vegan and I can’t ever spell it right), but it’s really expensive, hasn’t really helped the stupid acne problem. Cetaphil isn’t expensive and does seem to help some people. I guess I was hoping someone here might’ve found something effective like Cetaphil but animal friendly. And, honestly, I’ve been searching all over the place.

I understand your vegan principles, but I’m amazed that you have the time to consider a companies business model when considering what to wash your face with. Maybe I really don’t understand, but for heavens sake just find what works best for you and don’t worry about the business structure.

Well, if anyone is interested, CeraVe products were also recommended by my dermatologist. I called the company and they do not test on animals. That doesn’t mean they’re vegan, but at least they don’t do testing.

@suzyq2463: It’s cool. I know a lot of people who take into consideration business practices the same way you do. And while I would never have the time for it, or really the inclination I respect your choice and your commitment. However, I think in your particular case the only thing that is going to help is a ton of testing on yourself. Acne is a problem that’s very much dependent on the individual. What works for one person could as you said be “about as effective as water” for you.

Eucerin does not test on animals. You could try the Eucerin Sensitive Skin Gentle hydrating cleanser. From all the reviews, sounds like it is good for acne prone skin without over drying. It is hard to find though and you will have to order on amazon or drugstore.com – read the reviews (I’m thinking about ordering it for myself!)

@suzya2463;
I was just in the health food store and there was a whole isle of beauty products that might interest you. One of them has to be the alternative you seel!

suzy, i love cera ve, you called the company and you’re sure they don’t test on animals?? they weren’t on any of the lists online that don’t so I wasn’t sure…

it’s tough for sure, i am in the exact same situation. i have been diagnosed with roseacea and all of the recommended products are made by pharmaceutical companies. if you have a sephora near you they tend to have a good selection, the ole henriksen line of cleansers seems to be ok, also try the PETA website, they list everything. it seems that eucerin may not test on animals, but do contain animal ingredients. if i find anything i will post it here, looking tonight.

CeraVe is not tested on animals (source, company website)
but other Coria Laboratory products are (source, Coria’s Atralin gel product insert).
Hope that helps! I use Shikai gel. Works well, smells good.

Try Paula Begoun’s products – animal friendly and amazing. Neostrata is also good and not tested on animals. Apparently CeraVe is good and not tested either.

I love Cleure products. They have really cleared my skin. The toner is not vegan, it contains lactic acid (milk origin, I understand) but has really helped my skin and I do not use the emu oil. The other products do not have animal ingredients and none are tested on animals. They are rated safe on the EWG website. Developed for very sensitive skin and an ethical company.
