    "I’ve been using CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for two weeks, and my skin feels completely transformed. It’s perfect for my sensitive skin and leaves no tightness after washing. The addition of ceramides and hyaluronic acid really boosts hydration, and it’s fragrance-free, which is a huge plus. If you have dry skin, this is a game-changer!"

    CeraVe is good and balanced cleanser for normal to dry skin, I usually use this product in the evening routine, while showering, it’s not that foamy like other facial cleansers, but leaves your skin afterwards smooth and without any irritation that sometimes occurs, the 10Fl oz bottle would last long time, scent is neutral, just maybe not the best, but result on my face worth it, I would buy this product again.

    My everyday face wash. It doesn’t lather well but as long as most of the makeup is off, and using this as a second step you’ll be fine. Gentle on my sensitive skin and helped cure my acne

    I think this product is great for people with sensitive skin. The product is hydrating with a gel texture and doesn’t lather too much. I think it’s a plus that there’s no fragrance.

    I’ve been using the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for a few weeks, and my skin feels so soft and hydrated! It’s gentle enough for my sensitive skin, and I love that it doesn’t leave a tight or dry feeling after washing. Perfect for everyday use

    It leaves my face feeling clean and hydrated but I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. I think I’m use to heavy cleanser and this is very light it doesn’t feel like it’s there and I find myself using more because of it. It doesn’t lather and I’m not sure if it’s supposed to or not. Maybe I just have to get use to it.

    Hi Reese. Thank you for taking the time to reach out and share your experience with our Hydrating Facial Cleanser. We are sorry to hear you are not a fan. We understand you prefer something that lathers. We would love to recommend our Foaming Facial Cleanser that foams and lathers leaving the face feeling fresh and clean. The opinions of our customers are important to us when making decisions about our products and services. We appreciate your comments and will be sharing them with others in our company Thank you!

    The Gentle, No-Fuss Solution for Dry Skin

    The CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is one of those products that really delivers without all the bells and whistles. If you're someone with dry or sensitive skin, this is a game-changer. It’s a creamy, non-foaming cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin, and honestly, that’s what makes it stand out. It’s perfect for keeping your skin hydrated while still getting rid of dirt and oil. What I love most about it is how gentle it is. After using it, my skin feels clean but not tight or dry, which is a huge plus, especially during colder months when my skin tends to get flaky. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which help lock in moisture and protect the skin’s barrier, so it feels super nourished. And the best part? No fragrance, so it’s perfect if you're sensitive to strong scents. If you wear a lot of makeup, you might need to double cleanse, though. This doesn’t really remove heavy makeup or sunscreen on its own, so I use it after a micellar water or makeup remover. Overall, this is a no-fuss, reliable cleanser that gets the job done without irritating or drying out your skin. It’s affordable, widely available, and a great daily go-to for anyone with dry or sensitive skin.

    This stuff is terrible after I washed my face it still didn't feel clean, I used a toner afterwards and you wouldn't believe all the makeup that was still left on my face that the face cleanser didn't remove. I'm returning is product back to the store.

    This cleanser is very basic and is good for people that need a simple cleanser. It doesn’t sud so don’t overuse the product thinking that it’s going to be foamy. It is fragrance free which is a main concern for my skin but it didn’t help my acne. It wasn’t for my skin, but I won’t take away that it could be a great product for others. I just needed something with a strong active ingredient.

    Ho iniziato a usare il CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser da qualche settimana e sono molto soddisfatta dei risultati. La sua formula, arricchita con ceramidi e acido ialuronico, è ideale per la mia pelle secca e sensibile. Non contiene profumo, il che è perfetto per me, dato che ho una pelle che tende a irritarsi facilmente con i prodotti profumati. La confezione è pratica, con un dosatore a pompa che facilita l’erogazione del prodotto senza sprechi. La texture cremosa è piacevole e, una volta applicato, lascia la pelle incredibilmente morbida e idratata, senza quella fastidiosa sensazione di tirare o secchezza che spesso provo con altri detergenti. Dopo averlo usato per alcune settimane, la mia pelle appare più luminosa, idratata e sana, senza tracce di rossori o irritazioni. È diventato un prodotto fondamentale nella mia routine di cura della pelle.

    I started using Cerave cleanser as recommended by a dermatologist during a visit in 2014. It is 2025 and I still use Cerave daily to wash my combination, oily skin. I love that it is not scented and gentle and effective at cleaning without over drying my skin.
