A: Hello SS! That's an excellent question, and we're delighted you're considering incorporating our Hydrating Oil Face Cleanser into your routine for double cleansing. For combination skin, using an oil cleanser as the first step in a double cleansing routine, followed by your CeraVe Cream to Foam Cleanser, is an excellent approach! Our Hydrating Oil Cleanser is specifically formulated to gently yet effectively remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. It contains three essential ceramides and hydrating oils like squalane oil and triglyceride, which work together to leave your skin feeling clean, comfortable, and hydrated, never greasy or tight. By starting with the Hydrating Oil Cleanser, you'll efficiently break down oil-based impurities and makeup, and then your Cream to Foam Cleanser can thoroughly cleanse away any remaining residue and water-based impurities, leaving your combination skin feeling perfectly balanced and refreshed. This method allows for a very thorough cleanse without over-drying, which is ideal for your skin type.

Keeps your face feeling clean!
This product is amazing and I love the way it makes your skin feel clean! The packing is easy and the cost isn’t too expensive. The consistency is good and isn’t like sticky and doesn’t leave any residue after washing off.

It's light and nourishing.
I use this daily. I have a bottle in the shower with the pump and on hand at the sink for the family. I tend to have dry areas due to hormone changes and this is the first step in managing the problem. It doesn't leave the squeaky clean feeling but instead leaves a nourished feeling.

My favorite cleanser for clean, sof, and hydrated ski.
I’ve been using this cleanser for quite a while, and it’s still my favorite. I have combination skin, and most washes leave my skin feeling tight and dry, but this one doesn’t. The lightweight oil texture turns into a gentle foam that removes, makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities while keeping my skin soft and hydrated. It’s fragance-free, gentle, and leaves my face feeling clean without stripping my skin. I highly recommend it for anyone with dry or combination skin.

Honestly hated this. I wanted the hydrating properties promised but it just made me break out and didn’t seem to have any cleaning properties whatsoever. Would not buy again.

Staple skin care!!
This cleanser is perfect for dry skin. It breaks down all my makeup even waterproof products. I have probably bought 10+ of these. They’re so good. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or dry or stripped. No scent or fragrance which is good for sensitive skin.

THE ONLY OIL CLEANSER I'LL USE
This is an excellent face cleanser since I find myself sometimes skipping a face moisturizer after washing my face with this. It does not leave my skin feeling tight or dry, which is what you don't want to happen with a/any face cleanser that is used on your skin. I could use this all year around, but I really like it during the summer because it works great to wash away heavy "waterproof" sunblock. This cleanser was the right decision CeraVe produced for the oil cleanser market and it does not feel like a heavy oil on your face when washing. This should never be discontinued since it is the best oil cleanser out-there and comes highly recommended if you are looking for a simple oil cleanser that gets the job done.

Best face wash I’ve ever used!
I absolutely love this product! I have bought multiple refills and always end up going back to it. Its foams up very easily and really breaks up any gunk in my pores. My skin is always left super smooth after. It also feels super gentle on the skin. It has little to no scent. I highly recommend!

Great Eczema Hand Soap
I use this for hand wash. It has cleared up my Dyshidrotic eczema on my hands about 95%. A pharmacy tech at target recommended to me to use face wash because it was much less harsh than hand wash for my eczema, and man this one is the best I’ve tried and I’ve tried many over the last 6 years. I went from icing my hands multiple times per day, dermatologist creams not working and going through tubes of hydrocortisone weekly to never icing and needing hydrocortisone for small situations. If they made a lotion to accompany this I’d bathe myself in it. It’s fantastic, I couldn’t live without it.

The ultimate comforting cleanser that purifies without drying!
I am so pleased with this cleanser! It provides a deep, effective cleansing that removes makeup easily. The formula transforms into a delicate, soft foam that feels incredibly soothing on the skin. It offers an effortless rinse without leaving any greasy film behind. The comforting sensation it leaves is perfect for dry skin, and the bottle duration is excellent—a little goes a long way!

Another great face wash by cerave
I’ve used this and the bottle lasted me over 8 months with 1x a day use (I used a different face wash at night). It is very similar to their foaming wash except this was a little more liquidy and did not lather/foam up much. My face felt clean afterwards and it was not harsh at all. I would buy this again!

Gentle, soft, and skin clean ☺️
I’ve been using the cerave hydrating foaming oil cleanser and it has worked great for my dry skin. It cleans effectively while feeling gentle and hydrating. It rinses easily and leaves my skin soft never dry or tight after washing.
