This is my favorite everyday cleanser. I keep this in the shower for face cleansing. It removes most makeup, although I do use a miceller water to get off any access. I like the way that this foams gently and is gentle on sensitive skin. Both my daughter and I use it daily.
Perfect working.

I've been using the CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser for a few weeks now, and it has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. As someone with combination skin that's prone to dryness and occasional breakouts, I’m always on the lookout for a cleanser that can strike the right balance—and this one delivers. Texture & Application: It starts off as a creamy, lotion-like texture and then transforms into a gentle foam when massaged with water. The transformation feels luxurious and makes the product easy to spread across the face. A little goes a long way. Effectiveness: It removes light makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil without stripping the skin. My face feels clean but not tight or dry afterward, which is a big plus. It’s not the most heavy-duty makeup remover, so if you wear a full face of long-wear products, you might need a double cleanse. Key Ingredients: The inclusion of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and amino acids helps maintain the skin barrier and hydration. I’ve noticed my skin feels softer and more balanced since using it consistently. It’s also fragrance-free, which is ideal for sensitive skin. Non-stripping and gentle Suitable for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic Affordable and widely available
Removes makeup without being too drying.

I love that this wash effectively removes all of my makeup, even my eye makeup, without being a too drying. I have very sensitive skin and this has never irritated my skin.
Amazing cleanser

I really love this cleanser and how well it works! It is not strongly scented, it cleans all of the dirt and makeup off my face quickly and easily. I personally love how it foams up instead of a goopy soap on my face. I have sensitive skin so this works well without causing any adverse reactions. Highly recommend!
Great product

Very drying and stripping. Made my face tingle with red spots, followed by my skin peeling and flaking. I usually like CeraVe, but I would never use this specific product again.

I’ve been using this cleanser for a while now, and it’s honestly become one of my staples. I have normal to dry skin, and this does a great job of cleansing without leaving my skin feeling stripped or tight. It starts off creamy and then gently foams up, which I really like—it feels gentle but still effective. It removes light makeup easily and leaves my skin feeling clean, soft, and hydrated. I also appreciate that it has ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which help with moisture and skin barrier support. There’s no heavy fragrance, which is a huge plus for me.
Recommended from me for both skin types

I’ve also really loved this cleanser! I’ve been using it for maybe two months now and it’s great.i have combination skin, some days it feels dry, some days it feels oily. This gives me a smooth, moisturized but not greasy feeling.
Not for oily skin.

Tried this product for a few days, ended up giving it to my sister who has drier skin. My skin is on the oily side. This cleanser didn't work well for my skin. I did not feel my skin clean or like it did much for it. I definitely recommend this cleanser if you're skin is on the drier side. Otherwise, if you have oily skin, try CeraVe's foam cleanser, it's done wonders for me.

Scent: Like most CeraVe products, it’s basically unscented. No artificial fragrance, which is a win for sensitive skin. Effectiveness: This one removes sunscreen, light makeup, and grime really well without stripping your skin. It feels more nourishing than a typical foaming cleanser but still gives you that clean finish. My skin feels soft and hydrated after rinsing—never squeaky or tight. Ingredients: Packed with ceramides, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid, so it helps support your skin barrier while cleansing. The formula is gentle, non-comedogenic, and ideal for dry to normal skin types—or even combo skin that gets dry in patches. Packaging: Same classic CeraVe pump packaging—clean, sturdy, and easy to use in the shower or sink. One pump is usually enough for your whole face. Texture: Starts off as a smooth, creamy lotion and then transforms into a very soft foam as you massage it in with water. It feels luxe and cushiony on the skin—not too thick or greasy, and it rinses off beautifully.

Very creamy wash that gives a good lather. I recommend this over similar products which do not lather or give a clean feeling. Leaves you feeling fresh and clean. However, I don't find it super moisturizing as advertised, and felt a little dry after.
Great Cleanser

This cleanser has a soft gentle texture. It’s not over drying on my skin. It gently removed makeup and products. It has a gentle scent, not overpowering. And best of all the ingredients such as ceramides, amino acida and hyaluronic acid are a game changer.
The clean, skin feeling!

I've used this foam cleanser for about 5 years now. I've tried to switch to something new, but within weeks, I go back to CeraVe. The texture, scent, and foamy effect is what I need to feel my skin completely clean. The packaging is well explained, and it does not contain any harsh chemicals.
Great face cleanser!

This is a great facial cleaner. It’s gentle enough to use twice daily and it doesn’t dry out your skin. I always feel clean and fresh after using this.

It's a really basic cleanser. Didn't notice anything different in my skin after using for a while. It's cheap so I'll give it that. It does it's job but I think it's really overrated. I did like the foaming and the pump bottle. Didn't really have a scent. I don't think I'd buy again.
