    Watch the Price for Quantity

    I ordered this as part of a Shipt order. I completely overlooked the weight of the item because I love Cerave and assumed it was the traditional large container. Imagine my surprise at paying nearly $12 for a TRAVEL SIZE container. Really Target?

    Love this and continue to buy it

    I’ve bought this several times over and it’s awesome. It melts everything and it wipes away with warm and washcloth very easily. There is no residue or oily film left. I have tried a couple other brands such as Versed and a cheaper one, when I would run out of this and I did not like them. Went straight back to this one. I don’t wear makeup a lot these days but I do use SPF and this works in both situations and my face feels very clean. I always tend to get it in my eyes a little and there is some film that will stay for a few minutes but not enough of an issue to deter me from using it. The micellar water and other eye makeup removers do the same thing or worse so I don’t think it something that can be avoided completely.

    Good dupe

    Takes off makeup and any build up really good. It’s not oily, takes off waterproof mascara with ease. It doesn’t irritate skin and has a neutral scent. It’s a good dupe.

    Perfecto , suave, sin irritaciones para la piel

    I love the consistency of this cerave balm because it melts in contact with the skin and gently dissolves the makeup completely, making it ideal for my night routine after a long day. Practical and easy-to-use packaging. Its aroma is normal, I don’t like it or dislike it. I use it quite often because it meets my expectations of what is a good makeup remover.

    CeraVe is my go-to product for most of my facial routine care. Its cleansing balm glides on smoothly and melts away, providing a gentle wash and massage for my face and skin.

    What a product!

    One of the best cleansing balms I've tried. It doesn't leave a greasy feeling after using it, it's lightweight and works well to get even the most stubborn eyeliner and eyeshadow off. A little goes a long way!

    Leaves a residue, not great for my acne-prone skin

    First the positives: this balm removes make up & sunscreen well, goes on easily, is non-stripping, and is fragrance free! However, I found that it left a residue even after my second cleanse. I'm not new to cleansing balms, so I know how to properly emulsify but I swear I could not get this fully off. It would leave a thin film. Perhaps that's by design to not leave your skin feeling stripped, which was good for the sensitive part of my skin. But for the acne-prone part, it just didn't work. It left me with closed comedones and zits. I had to stop using. I'm sure it works for some people -- just be aware if you're prone to closed comedones like me!

    Removed makeup well but left residue

    I really wanted to love this cleansing balm because I usually enjoy Cerave products, but this one wasn’t for me. It did remove my makeup pretty well, but the texture felt a little too greasy and left a residue on my skin that I didn’t love. I also found myself needing a second cleanser after to feel fully clean. Wasn’t terrible but didn’t stand out to me compared to others. I do appreciate it being fragrance free and gentle for sensitive skin.
