The beauty fanatic shared her favorite skin care products on Reddit’s Frugal forum, which has more than 5 million members.
INCREDIBLE HUMIDIFIER
She wrote in response to a financially savvy Redditor looking for cheap anti-aging tips.
“I have a plastic surgeon because I had breast cancer and had reconstruction,” she said, writing under the name Photo gadgets.
“During one of my appointments I made a comment about which cream is the best moisturizer.
“He told me that they recommend CeraVe and Aquaphor for their facelift patients.
“Aquaphor for around the eyes and on the neck. CeraVe for the rest of the face.
“That’s all I’ve used since then.”
Many people rated the post positively and were very enthusiastic about the products in the thread.

“I use Cetaphil gentle cleanser, tretinoin and CeraVe cream,” one said.
“I will also use Aquaphor or Vaseline occasionally for an extra boost.”
Another was very excited about having CeraVe’s full skin care line as a regular part of their routine.
“Opt for inexpensive (but still proven) brands of sunscreen, moisturizer, and cleanser,” they said.
“I love CeraVe. Lots of ceramides, heavy-duty hydrating ingredients, and their tinted sunscreen is not only super affordable – but it’s literally the best I’ve ever tried.
“Their moisturizer is amazing, and one tube lasts forever (it can also be used all over the body!).”
