Mid!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its okay, does not foam too much, kinda thin consistency. I don’t see it working significantly better than other face washes. It has no scent. Appearance wise it’s sleep, nice design.

Have to use a lot of product for a good cleanse, especially if you have facial hair. Once lathered it’s very gentle but I didn’t notice any difference for combination skin between this and the original hydrating cleanser.

Best day or night cleanser out there period
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The CeraVe Balancing Air Foam Facial Cleanser cleanses gently but effectively. It removes dirt and oil without drying my skin. Lightweight, breathable foam feels refreshing, and my face feels smooth and balanced after each wash. Ideal for daily use. I love how easier the bottle is and the ingredients don’t leave my skin with any irritation.

Never Again
I tried this cleanser, and after a few days I started to regret it. By day 3 my face was on fire! I have huge red patches on my forehead, my eyebrows and the sides if my nose. It has been a nightmare. My skin started itching so bad, and then has started flaking and peeling. It's been a week since I stopped using it and still feeling with the side effects.

My face are hidrated always
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has so many benefits. I've been using it for over three months now, and I'm seeing real results. Its glycolysin formula helped balance the oil on my face, and it feels more hydrated. I also use it to remove my makeup, and it works perfectly.

Gentle on the skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really impressed with this cleanser! It feels so light and gentle on the skin, yet it cleans deeply without leaving any dryness or tightness. There’s no scent at all, which is a huge plus for me. I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in my skin’s texture and overall look, and I’ll keep using it for sure!

Gentle with no scent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Cerave products myself. This face wash is okay to me. There isn’t a scent and the texture is very thin. It feels gentle to the skin and could be used daily to remove oils and dirt from the face.

Light face cleaner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the CeraVe Balancing Air Foam Cleanser for free in exchange for my honest review. I think it’s an okay cleanser, but it feels so lightweight that it doesn’t clean my skin as thoroughly as I’d like—especially when I’m wearing makeup. On the positive side, it doesn’t irritate or dry out my skin, which is great for sensitive days, and the packaging is convenient and easy to use. I usually love other CeraVe cleansers, but this one just isn’t my favorite.
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 2 months ago
Hello jatna3_3142! We truly appreciate your honest feedback on our Balancing Air Foam Cleanser. We're glad to hear that you find it gentle on sensitive days, and that you appreciate the convenient packaging, as maintaining the skin's barrier while cleansing is a key focus for us. We understand your experience that its lightweight feel might not provide the thorough cleanse you desire, especially when removing makeup. For days when you're wearing makeup or feel your skin needs a deeper clean, you might find our other cleansers, like the Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser or the Foaming Facial Cleanser, could offer a more robust cleanse while still respecting your skin's balance. Your insights are invaluable as we continuously strive to meet the diverse cleansing needs of all our customers.

Since there are practically no products on the market that address combination skin, I had really high hopes for this cleanser. I experienced no irritation but it definitely didn't help to control my oily t-zone. It doesn't hurt, but also doesn't help. Unfortunately, not worth buying again.

Pretty good for sensitive skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s okay. Doesn’t break me out but I don’t like that it creates lots of foam. Can makes my skin a bit dry after. Overall decent for sensitive skin.

Need a lot of product
I slightly see a difference in my oilyness on my face while using this. However, the price is outrageous!! I dont feel it is worth that price. I feel that you have to use a lot of product in order to get a nice lather. Otherwise, youre just washing your face with water and theres no product on your face. Also the pump is oddly shaped and hard to get out at times , especially if you use this in the shower. I will not purchase this again in the future.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love cerave products. They’ve saved my skin on many occasions. I really like this face wash as it’s for oily skin and removes dirt and makeup. It almost has a really light coconut scent I love. Great product for sensitive skin and affordable. The package is so cute.

Very foamy and gentle!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The reason I gave it 3 stars is because even though it’s very soft and gentle on the skin I felt as if it left my skins very dry after then cleanse. The liquid was actually very foamy when being pumped out the bottle and the amount that you need is very little. I did love that about the product. Also didn’t have a scent but your face did feel very clean after the use. A big plus that’s it’s very sensitive to the skin didn’t break me out nor did it cause any irritation. Definitely worth it to try my only issue with this product was the after dryness on my face but if you have sensitive skin then I would definitely recommend it.
