description

A foaming gel face wash is ideal for removing excess oil, dirt, and makeup. When choosing a facial cleanser for normal to oily skin, it’s important to look for a formula that's gentle, won’t disrupt your skin’s natural protective barrier (which can leave skin feeling dry or tight), and contains ingredients that help maintain its moisture balance.

    I had high hopes for CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser because I've had great luck with some of their other products. It deserves high marks for being a fragrance and dye free option in a world of...

    This was my HG cleanser. I fell in love with the gentle yet effective way it cleaned my face, heavy make up or no make up days. I used it for over a year and went through two bottles. I...

    I have tried so many cleansers over the years, and this is the only one that has effectively gotten rid of the makeup and oil off my face without drying it out as it states on the bottle. It foams...

    I'll start by saying that I think calling it "foaming" is misleading and might put some people off. It doesn't foam, which I LIKE. Foaming cleansers strip the skin too much. I have sensitive skin...

    This cleanser is probably quite appropriate for those with genuinely oily skin. However, for my dry/combination skin with rosacea I found it to be stripping and harsh, but certainly better than...

    This a great cleanser for oily/combo skinned people. The formula isn't harsh or drying, and leaves your face feeling refreshed and anew. Would recommend and buy again (even though it's a bit pricey)
