(Almost) convinced me that I didn’t need moisturizer!

Definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a daily cleanser that doesn’t leave the skin feeling stripped. Really been loving this product in my morning routine in preparation for my makeup. Provides an incredible amount of hydration, leaving the skin feeling clean, fresh, and full. I love how deeply this cleanser works not just as a purifying product but as a moisturizer as well. It truly does extract deeper oils and dirt while also absorbing needed hydration and locking in the natural moisture barrier. Paired with their daily moisturizer provides an incredible base that is sure to last all day.

My go-to daily cleanser!

Love this cleanser! I use it every night and it leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean but not tight. Since I have dry skin I’m used to cleansers that go on like cream and love that this one suds up with water. It feels light but gets the job done!

Terrible cleanser

Left my skin feeling incredibly red, dry, and flaky! It also contains salicylic acid and no where does it state this on the front of the product. It's hidden inbetween a bunch of other ingredients on the back, so if you have sensitive/dry skin.. please avoid using this cleanser!

CeraVe Cream to Foam Cleanser

Hydrating Cream to Foam Cleanser is my go to solution with breakouts and when I want a gentle cleanse. In my opinion this is actually is a higher performance then my high end products, seriously this works so much better then all my really expensive facial products, and it absorbs nicely into my skin leaving my face and back feeling clean!

Good if you aren’t supposed to use soap

This is not scented. No irritation. Maybe would be good for someone who cannot use soap that much. It doesn’t feel like it cleans when you’re really dirty.
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 2 months ago
Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the fragrance-free, gentle feel on your skin. Our Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser is formulated with 3 essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid to cleanse gently without stripping skin's moisture. For days when you need a deeper clean, we recommend double cleansing or trying our CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser!

Gentle and hydrating

I've been using CeraVe for a long time. Super gentle on my sensitive skin. I wash my face twice a day and double cleanse at night. It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and dry like some facial cleansers do

Can't Beat Any Other Foaming Face Wash

This is the only foaming face cleanser that does not ruin my skin barrier since most are used for oily skin types that can really over strip the skin. I like how soothing it feels on the skin when it foams up. This like the oil cleanser is great washing away sunscreen during the summer months and I prefer to use this as my summer face wash; like the other cleansers I hope this never gets discontinued. I highly recommend this if you like foaming face washes.

The best cleanser ever!!

The CeraVe hydrating cleanser was very effective at removing everyday dirt and built-up oil. It didn’t leave any noticeable residue, and I experienced no irritation, even with sensitive skin. After using this product consistently, my skin felt and looked much cleaner with subtle radiance. Overall, it provided a gentle and enjoyable cleansing experience.

Amazing formula

This is such a hydrating facial cleanser. The cream to foam makes it easy to apply and easier to blend once it becomes foam! I’ve been using this facial cleanser since middle school and I am now in college.

Affordable and reliable

Great lather and helps your skin feel really clean. It has a gentle and soft texture that feels really nice on the skin, but it really gets oil, dirt, and makeup off with ease. I can’t feel clean without soap that doesn’t lather up, and I like how this is a cream that turns to a lather. I’d say a bigger bottle of this is worth the value since it works really well and you don’t need much for a great experience, making it last a long time.

Great for daily cleansing

This cleanser gently removes makeup, oil, and dirt without leaving my skin feeling dry or tight. It starts as a creamy cleanser and creates a light foam that rinses off easily. My skin feels clean, soft, and hydrated afterward. It is fragrance-free and a great everyday option for normal to dry or sensitive skin.It absorbs well into the skin during cleansing, helping to lift impurities while maintaining hydration.
