    In my experience it depends on your skin type.

    FYI I have eczema.

    Using Dermaveen brand creams/lotions/anything makes me itchy so I tend to avoid that brand altogether.

    QV and Cerave are fine though and what I usually buy/prefer.

    qv has more glycerin, dermaveen also contains colloidal oatmeal and sodium pca

    dermaveen is paraben-free, qv isn't, in case that's of concern

    For sensitive skin with particular allergies, I was recommended by dermatologist to use QV. Dermaveen contains Cocamidopropyl Betaine, a foaming agent. It's not "bad" but is bad if you are allergic to it

      Thank you, your comment was really informative.

      Now I know why Dermaveen makes me itch/skin redden.

        No worries. I have ezcema too. QV, Cerave and La Roche are brands my dermatologist recommends.

        If you can, get a referral to do skin patch testing - 12 month waiting list at public hospital, fully covered by Medicare (otherwise $500). It will tell you what your skin sensitivities are.
