    I got this to use as a hand soap, since most actual soaps dry out my skin. This product makes a great hand wash, imho. It rinses very cleanly, and doesn't dry out my hands like other soaps. I haven't tried it on my face yet, so can't speak to that. But definitely recommend it as a hand wash.

    This cerave cleanser has a great milky texture and then becomes foamy as you cleanse your face. It’s so gentle and causes no irritation because I have a sensitive skin and have got none. A little goes a long way which is great because it’s so affordable. The packaging is great because it causes no mess when in use or after. I highly recommend it.

    I’ve been using the CeraVe moisturizing cream for a while now, and it really helped my dry skin feel softer and more hydrated. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any greasy feeling. Plus, it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin at all. Definitely something I’ll keep using!

    I’ve been using the CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser for several months, and it has truly transformed my skincare routine. This cleanser is gentle yet effective — it removes dirt, excess oil, and makeup without stripping the skin or leaving it feeling dry or tight. I have combination to oily skin, and this cleanser helps balance everything out while keeping breakouts under control. The formula includes ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, which are amazing for maintaining the skin’s natural barrier and hydration. I love that it lathers nicely but doesn’t over-foam or irritate. It’s fragrance-free, which makes it suitable even for sensitive skin types. After each use, my face feels clean, refreshed, and calm — never red or itchy like with other foaming cleansers. The packaging is practical with a pump dispenser, and a little goes a long way, so one bottle lasts for months. It’s affordable, dermatologist-recommended, and lives up to the hype.

    If a face wash promotes itself as “foaming” i expect some foam. Foam when the soap is dispensed? None. Foam when you rub it together in your hands? None. Foam when you wash your face? None. Disappointing and misleading product.

    CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser is honestly one of my favourite skincare products ever. It just works so well without doing too much. It takes off makeup so easily, even around the eyes, and what I love most is that it never stings!!! I can properly wash my face without worrying about irritation, which is rare, especially when it comes to something that actually removes everything. There’s no scent at all, which I really like. It feels clean, simple, and gentle, no overpowering fragrance, no fuss. The texture is lightweight and smooth, and it foams up just enough to make your skin feel fresh without stripping it. My skin always feels soft and balanced after using it, not tight or dry. The ingredients are honestly amazing for the price: ceramides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid - all the good stuff your skin barrier needs. And the packaging is super practical. It’s affordable, gentle, effective, and just so reliable. A proper go-to cleanser I’ll always repurchase.
