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.

    This is a gentle cleanser that is good for dehydrated skin as well as dry skin. I don't know about sensitive and/or reactive skin because this burned so badly. I just couldn't use it. Plus it left...

    I didn't care for this at all. It doesn't dry out the skin, but it doesn't clean well either. A lot of product must be used. I also didn't care for how this felt on my face.
