La Roche-Posay vs CeraVe.
Both sit on every AU pharmacy shelf. Both are dermatologist-recommended. Both owned by L'Oréal. One is better at sensitive skincare; one is better at barrier repair.

The daily SPF dermatologists recommend. $35, zero grease, invisible finish. Australia's most prescribed sunscreen.
Shop at Adore BeautyMoisturising Cream
Ceramide moisturising cream that repairs skin barriers. $22, fragrance-free, eczema-safe.
Shop at Chemist WarehouseLa Roche-Posay wins on SPF. CeraVe on moisturising.
Use both. La Roche-Posay makes the best-in-AU daily SPF (Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid). CeraVe makes the best-in-AU moisturiser (Moisturising Cream with ceramides). They're complementary, not competitive. Your morning SPF should be La Roche. Your moisturiser should be CeraVe. Both are stocked at Chemist Warehouse.
