description

Hydrating cleanser for normal-to-dry skin. A cleanser can remove dirt, makeup and other debris, but a hydrating cleanser, like CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, can do all that without disrupting the skin’s natural protective barrier or stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Created with dermatologists, CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser is a gentle face wash with ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid that work to restore the skin’s natural barrier to help the skin lock in moisture.

    I adore this cleanser. It doesn't leave my skin stripped and tight. It's gentle and packed with great ingredients that my skin loves. I believe it's one of the best cleansers at the drugstore, it's...

    Something in it, maybe hyaluronic acid, makes my skin burn a little bit? I don't have any problems with this, but it doesn't wow me. I haven't tried the foaming cleanser, so when I run out of this...

    Despite its claims, this just didn't sit right with my skin. I always felt a very mild heat/irritation. Every skin is different - so by all means try it (sample size) - it may work great for you....

    I am very confused by this product. Its texture is almost exactly like the classic CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion, and the two share many of the same ingredients. When using as intended, a facial...

    This is just not as good as the foaming one. Leaves a film on my skin and I don't feel like it does a good job of cleaning

    First of all, I have very fair, sensitive, rosacea skin that is aging thanks to poor sun protection when I was young. Take note younger ladies - sunscreen is more important than the emergency...
