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.

Creamy Comfort Meets Deep Clean

salemalonge_7338 - 15 days ago

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!

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.

Terrific for dry skin to use after first cleanse or two double cleanse with. Using first to break up SPF and makeup is great, it's not heavy and foams nicely when water is added.

This cleanser is a game-changer for my dry, sensitive skin. It starts as a rich cream and transforms into a gentle foam, effectively removing dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping my skin. Infused with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and amino acids, it leaves my face feeling hydrated and soft. I appreciate that it's fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for everyday use. A little goes a long way, and the pump dispenser is convenient. Highly recommend for anyone with dry or sensitive skin looking for a gentle yet effective cleanser.
Great cleanser but weird scent

I just started using this product, I’ve used other cerave products before and know it works with my skin. I really like this product. It’s very gentle and it’s perfect for my dry skin. I like that you only need a little bit and it’ll foam instantly. The only bad thing I’d have to say about this product is that it smells a little weird. The non foaming version of this cleanser doesn’t have a scent to it but this one does. It’s not a bad scent but I wouldn’t say it’s a good one either.
New runny formula

shoppergal - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
I have been using this cleanser for a bit and love it, I ran out and bought a new bottle and it is so much runnier and doesn’t feel like it works as well. I bought a travel size recently and it was like the original formula and was amazing! My large bottle does say new on it but it doesn’t clarify what is new and sure enough there’s different ingredients. Kind of a bummer, I thought I had finally found my perfect face wash for a good price!

Not for my sensitive skin

I have dry sensitive skin but wanted to try a foaming cleanser that wouldn't irritate and this wasn't it. I like the texture, the idea of the cream to foam, and the fact that it cleans well. It did remove most makeup and sunscreen nicely which was great but it started to irritate my skin. I found out it contains salylic acid which is why. Salylic acid is too strong for my dry skin. Definitely don't recommend for those with sensitive skin. I think would be best for those with normal to dry acne prone skin and preferably not sensitive unless ur OK to use salylic acid with ur sensitive skin.
