    I really like this cleanser. Normally I double cleanse with either an oil cleanser or a balm to break everything up then a foam or cream cleanser to remove the days SPF etc. With this cleanser it works all in one and removes even stubborn make up etc. The pump packaging is so easy to use. The texture is nice and light and doesn't feel like a cleanser that is as gentle on the skin but strong as what it is. I have noticed the price creeping up but then the same could be said for most things.

    I recently started using CeraVe Facial Cleanser, and I couldn't be happier with the results! It leaves my face feeling clean, hydrated, and soft after every wash. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in dryness and irritation since I started using it. What I love most is that it is fragrance-free, which is a huge plus for those with sensitive skin. I have the most sensitive skin ever and break out a few times a month, and I’ve noticed a significant difference in that happening. It’s suitable for both morning and evening use, making it versatile and easy to incorporate into any skincare routine. Overall, this cleanser has exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and effective facial cleanser!

    I have sensitive and dry skin, and this cleanser has been a game-changer. The texture is creamy and gentle, it doesn’t foam too much, which I love. My skin feels clean but not tight or irritated afterward. It has a mild scent that isn’t overpowering, and the ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid help keep my skin hydrated. The packaging is practical with a pump that’s easy to use. I’ve noticed an improvement in my skin’s moisture balance since I started using it daily, especially in the winter.
