    The CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser has been a game-changer in my skincare routine! It gives a deep yet gentle cleanse without stripping my skin, making it perfect for my combination skin. The formula is packed with ceramides and niacinamide, which help maintain my skin barrier while controlling oil. It foams up nicely, washes off easily, and leaves my skin feeling fresh and balanced. I’ve had zero irritation or breakouts since using it, and it pairs great with other skincare products. Plus, the pump bottle is super convenient for daily use.

    Really gentle on the skin but still gets every bit of makeup off. I appreciate that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling super dry afterwards. I will say I don’t find that it ‘foams’ but that doesn’t take away from all the benefits for me.

    I don't have the product anymore because I did not repurchase that's why reviewing without a photo. Overall removes oil and dirt without irritating my skin, and the gel texture feels refreshing. My skin feels clean and also love that it’s fragrance-free and budget-friendly. However sometimes it can leave my face feeling a bit tight afterward. I always need to follow up with heavy a moisturizer. I think it's safe to buy example for a guest bathroom because it's gently to everyone to use. I personally would not buy it for everyday use.

    I don't know why I ever stray from this cleanser, because I'll try something else, be disappointed, and always come back to this. It's so gentle but works so well. I have dry skin, but this helps remove sunscreen, makeup, and general grime from the day without feeling tight or painful afterwards.

    I started getting adult acne in my late 20's that rolled over into my 30's. I tried a few different face cleansers but they either dried my face out too much or made it feel greasy. This cleanser seems to be just right! it's gentle enough to not irritate my face more and it's been a huge help in clearing up my acne. I've gone through at least 5 bottles already.

    I have been using this cleanser for a while now and honestly, it’s just a really solid, no-fuss cleanser. It gets rid of the oil and grime without drying my skin out, which I appreciate since my skin can be a bit temperamental. I like that it doesn’t have any strong scent, and it feels gentle enough for daily use. It’s not one of those products you get excited about, but it quietly does its job really well and that’s exactly what I want from a cleanser.

    Simple, practical packaging with a pump. Fragrance-free, which is great for sensitive skin. The gel has a soft texture, lathers well, and rinses off easily. Leaves skin feeling clean but not tight or dry. I appreciate the ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide — my skin feels calm and hydrated.

    I’m not sure but I’m a huge fan of this product. It’s fine for a quick morning cleanse, but when it comes to makeup removing this is not a product that I reach for. it does not feel strong enough nor does it thoroughly cleanse my skin or makeup and sunscreen, even when I double cleanse. my fiancé likes it so maybe it is just not meant for heavy duty usage.
