My skin was going through it. I thought treating it with acne cleanser would make it better but I just kept breaking out. My skin barrier was compromised so instead of adding more actives I decided to go back to the basics. I bought this on a whim and OMG I’m glad I did. It cleared my face, redness, acne and irritation gone! I use this in the morning, and I use the foaming gentle cleanser at night. The key is to have damp face when applying, rub all over face for about 30 seconds and then add more water to lather it up for 30 more seconds and BAM skin is clean and hydrated.

I had normal skin for as long as I can remember and trying to find products that are suitable was difficult. Fortunately for me I came across Cerva hydrating cleanser for normal to dry skin and it changed my life! Cerva is purely magic not only is it inclusive to different skin types it is also fragrance free, and it heals and maintains the skin barrier. Choose Cerva. Thank you Cerva, I will be posting my YouTube video about my Cerva products (and experience) soon. (Open to sponsorship from Cerva on my YouTube channel. Please email me.

Great for winter

5 out of 5 stars
Alex E - 17 days ago, Verified purchaser
I have very dry facial skin during the winter. This is excellent because it doesn't foam which is known to to dry out skin. This is more of a creamy texture that does just enough to clean your face without stripping your oil barrier. Once winter is over I switch back to the vanicream cleanser as my skin will get more oily. Follow up with the Elf Holy Hydration Cream and you won't be disappointed.

Refreshing cleanse

Using CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser has transformed my daily skincare experience. The gentle, non-stripping formula feels like a soothing embrace for my skin. As I massage it in, there's no tightness—just a refreshing cleanse. The absence of heavy fragrance adds to the purity of the ritual. I've noticed my skin retaining more moisture, thanks to the ceramides working their magic. It's become a cornerstone in my routine, turning a mundane task into a moment of self-care. An effective, comforting journey to cleaner and healthier skin every day.

I have been using this probably since I was in middle school. I try new cleansers often, but always end up back at this one. This is the one my dermatologist recommended to me. The Texture is like a cream you’re rubbing on your face and it doesn’t bubble like soap. It doesn’t really smell like anything. The packaging is perfect, I like how it has a pump and it’s easy to use. I’m not going to say this on its own leaves me glowing because it doesn’t, but I really like it and the way it feels on my skin. I typically use a cleansing balm before I use this if I am wearing makeup because I don’t think it gets all the makeup off in one try. My skin definitely feels clean after , but without being stripped! So if you have problems with cleansers drying you out, check this one out.

The composition includes hyaloronic acid, which provides additional hydration for the face. After use there is no feeling of tightness or dryness of the skin.

This cleanser is good for someone with dry, sensitive skin. I have a bit of roseacea and it is not irritating to my skin. I don't notice any scent to it. It leaves your skin feeling hydrated and soft.

A basically perfect cleanser

This is just a solid cleanser. It’s really great for all types of skin in my opinion because I don’t have dry skin, I do just get the occasional dry spot here and there in the winter. Or if I’m having a psoriasis flare, sometimes my eyelids- random I know. I love that it’s fragrance free and full of great ingredients that don’t irritate my skin. I use this in the morning almost year round and sometimes twice a day in the winter, depending on if I wore makeup or not. It’s just perfect.
