    Gentle Cleanser That Leaves Skin Feeling Fresh

    I've been using this facial cleanser regularly, and it's worked well for my combination-to-oily skin. It creates a light foam that's easy to apply and rinses away cleanly without leaving any residue. My skin feels refreshed after each wash, but not tight or overly dry. I haven't experienced any irritation, even with daily use, and it leaves my face feeling clean and comfortable. Over time, I've noticed my skin looks less oily while still feeling balanced. The pump bottle is convenient, and only a small amount is needed each time, so it lasts a while. Overall, it's a reliable cleanser that cleans effectively without being harsh

    Pump does not work

    I love the product but getting the pump to work is awful. Hey Cera Ve, if your users need to search this up and watch YouTube videos for how to get your pump to work (and despite that, it still doesn’t), I think you need to circle back to your packaging engineers. This is clearly a known problem.

    A gentle, effective cleanser that leaves my skin feeling clean, fresh, and never stripped or dry!

    I’ve been enjoying this cleanser . It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshing without feeling stripped or overly dry . The lightweight foaming formula removes excess oil and everyday impurities while still feeling gentle on my skin . I also love that it’s fragrance free and easy to incorporate into my daily skincare routine.

    Gentle and hydrating cleanser.

    Used this cleanser a while ago when I used to get acne. It definitely helped calm my acne. It’s super hydrating and doesn’t strip natural oil from the skin like some other cleanser does. Very gentle and hydrating and wash off the dirt from the skin too. Always a fan of CeraVe.

    Best one I’ve tried!

    This is my favorite facial cleaner that I’ve tried. It is one of the only cleaners out there that does not make my skin react and works well. If you have sensitive and somewhat oily skin like I do, I highly recommend trying this product.
