    I have been using the Renewing SA cleanser but have dry skin so tried the Hydrating Facial cleanser and while it felt nice, I wiped my face with a cloth that had Micellar cleansing water on it and the cloth was covered with makeup residue. The facial cleanser did not live up to the claim that it removes make up. I’m very disappointed. I’ve been happy with other cerave products.

    Use it as a hydrating handsoap, not face wash. Has healed hands that are dry and cracked from frequent hand and dish washing. If you can relate, I highly recommend giving it a try! Wouldn't recommend as a face wash, however; it's far too heavy--feels like washing your face with watery otion. Love that it's truly fragrance-free too!

    I bought CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser to help fight my dry skin but also cleanse it well without any hard fragrances or ingredients that most cleansers have. I was originally using a different cleanser before this and felt like it wasn’t doing much for hydration. My skin has always suffered badly with dryness but since I am now using EpiDuo my skin had gotten irritated to begin with until it could get used to it, I found that most things stung/ burned on my face so after a lot of research and googling I came to this product which never caused my skin any irritation it helped soothe until my skin was used to its treatment. I would definitely recommend this product as it’s soothing and gentle, non performed and noncomedogenic
