CeraVe in the morning. Palmer’s at night.

I use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream in the morning and Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil at night. This is about what I like using, not a claim that the same combination will suit everyone.

The CeraVe cream doesn’t leave me feeling sticky or oily, and there isn’t a fragrance competing with my perfume. I think this was my second tub when I wrote the original notes.

Those are the things that make it easy for me to keep using.

The oil feels soothing and warm to me. I think I was on my third bottle.

It had become a familiar choice: something I already knew I liked.

The photo shows my almost-empty 150 mL bottle. I’d like a slightly larger one.

The remaining oil was hard to see, too. Being able to tell how much is left would help.

In the morning, I care about what stays on my skin and whether it competes with perfume. At night, I like the feel of the oil.

Those are ordinary reasons, but they’re why I keep reaching for them.
