    I’m probably one of the small percentage of people that finds this product just………okay. My skin never feels particularly hydrated or even clean after using this cleanser. I don’t love the milky texture of the product, and I have to use a lot of product to cleanse makeup (and this is as a double cleanser). Not my fav.
    1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 6 days ago
    Hello there! Thank you for your honest review of our Hydrating Facial Cleanser. We're sorry it didn't quite meet your expectations for feeling clean or hydrated, and that you didn't prefer the milky texture. This cleanser is designed for gentle cleansing without stripping the skin's natural barrier. For heavier makeup or a more intense cleanser, our Foaming Facial Cleanser might be a better fit for your needs.

    I’ve been using the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best gentle cleansers I’ve come across. It has a creamy texture, doesn’t foam too much, and feels smooth on the skin. It cleans well without making my face feel dry or tight after washing. Great for people with dry or sensitive skin. It’s fragrance-free, which is a big plus if your skin reacts easily. The best part is that it has ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which help keep your skin moisturized while cleansing. Over time, I noticed my skin felt softer and more balanced.
