    Love this cleanser for my extremely dry skin especially in the winter months here in Canada. It doesn’t strip your skin of moisture and keeps the barrier intact. Great for combination skin and it’s also scent free which is perfect for my sensitive skin!

    Good budget cleanser but not much more. If your after a good basic cleanser for normal skin types I would recommend this but if your looking for the best cleanser I would look elsewhere as it leaves your skin dry and if you have acne, scaring etc, it’s not going to give you the cleanse needed.

    This cleanser is quite nice. Though I KNOW it cleanses sometimes it just doesn't FEEL like it simply because there are no suds and it's so hydrating... I'm also glad it didn't clog my pores, I have very easily clogged skin, which is why I was nervous to buy it in the first place, but it proved me wrong... 8/10 would recommend.

    I’ve struggled with acne for years and even went on Roaccutane because nothing seemed to help. I could never find a face wash that didn’t irritate my skin, until I tried CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser. It’s gentle, refreshing, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or dry. Since using it, my skin has felt calmer and more balanced. I honestly haven’t looked back it’s that good!

    Super gentle and non-stripping! My skin feels clean, soft, and balanced after using it — never tight or dry. It’s perfect for my sensitive skin, and I’ve noticed less redness over time. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the texture — it doesn’t lather much, so it might feel weird if you’re used to foamier cleansers. But that’s also why it’s so gentle. Overall a great basic cleanser that keeps your skin barrier happy. A staple in my routine!

    Cerave is my favorite cleanser out there hands down. I love the foaming one better than the hydrating cleanser but both leave your skin fresh. I have switched from Aveeno to CeraVe and never went back. A little expensive but it's worth it.
