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 have been using this for about 10 years at least. I rarely stray from it. Lately I've been adding a bit of Eminence's exfoliant powder to it and it makes an excellent base for my scrub since...

    IMO, this is a facial cleanser, not a makeup remover. For those who want to use it as a makeup remover, jkimber's review below outlines a good method. I like it much more than cetaphil. Doesn't...

    It's just okay... It doesn't take off makeup very well. I would recommend this only if you're using it as a face wash without makeup on.
