Hydrating Facial Cleanser

I wish I known about Cerave long ago in my teens. I had such bad acne, oily skin, and tried so many different products that didn’t work or made it worse. I still had acne (not as bad) into my 30s but after noticing others my age with no acne and at my wits end, I decided to do some research for products that actually worked, not just random products I found in the drugstore skin care aisle but also not break the bank.After some thorough google research, YouTube reviews, and website reviews, I found Cerave to be a good place to start. I now use Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser and rotate out with Cerave’s Renewing SA Cleanser (once a week). I then use Cerave’s Skin Renewing Night Cream (morning and night). I also do hydrating masks once a week, quartz facial rollers from the freezer (morning and night), LED red light therapy every other night, hyaluronic acid serum (morning and night), and Jergen’s Natural Glow Face Mositurizer with SPF 20 (which I will be switching over to Cerava’s tinted sunscreen once my Jergens is gone). I no longer wear foundation because my skin has cleared, my skin tone looks much smoother, and my pores are tighter.I hope this information might be helpful to others that are struggling with skin care issues like mine. Cerave has, from my experience, provided me with a good quality skincare routine that I’ve been using for over a year now with no issues. I would like to note that I have tried Cerave’s Skin Renewing Retinol Serum that did make me breakout. I discontinued use but after reading reviews, there is a temporary retinol purge period (can last several months) that causes breakouts but is not a permanent side effect. I will probably try this product again because Retinol is suppose to help speed up skin cell turnover and is used to help reduce wrinkles, improves acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and skin tone. It pushes trapped oil and existing clogged pore debris to the surface, which is what causes the breakouts. I’m hoping that since I’ve been on this Cerave journey for over a year that I won’t breakout won’t be as bad this time around. I will update my review after I get through the breakout stage of use.

I have used this for years. I have tried other cleansers, but I always come back to this one. It is very gentle and hydrating. The best my skin has ever looked is using this morning and night and adapalene gel at night as well. I also use cerave’s moisturizing cream religiously at night. For context, I have sensitive acne-prone combo skin. I do not wear makeup, so the cleanser is effective enough to remove my sunscreen. However, if you do wear makeup, I would suggest a more intense cleanser, especially if you are acne-prone. If I wear makeup I use a cleanser with a gentle 1%bha in it.

I don’t know what sorcery is in this stuff, but since I started using it, my life has been on an upswing. My skin? Hydrated. My confidence? Sky-high. My cat, Mr. Pickles, who hasn’t looked me in the eye since 2018? Now sleeps on my pillow again.Even my husband noticed. He said, “Your face looks… calm.” Calm! The man hasn’t noticed anything since Obama’s first term, and now he’s writing me notes on post-its like it’s 1999.Side effect: I’ve become addicted to touching my own cheek mid-Zoom call. My boss thinks I’m either in love with myself or plotting something sinister. Both are true.Would I recommend this? Absolutely. It didn’t just moisturize my face—it moisturized my soul.

It took me a bit to get used to this texture, because it doesn't foam or lather like most other cleansers I've used. But now that I am used to it, I love it! It makes my skin feel clean, but doesn't leave it dry and stripped. I highly recommend this cleanser! Just be aware it has a different texture than most.

I use this product morning and evening and whenever I like to freshen up. Goodbye to using ivory soap bar that after a while dries your face out. I use other products of CeraVe the p.m. and hand moisturizer the facial cleanser works well with a little scrubber that you can purchase separately that really removes all dead cells on face or anywhere else you want to use it. I would give it a five-star if they made a pump that when you get near the bottom you don't have to take the pump out to get the rest of it out for the next couple of days. Also it would be good if you had a clear side window to see how low you were getting. Otherwise this product I've used for about 3 years and works well for me. Price could be a little cheaper but you have to pay a little more for good stuff. I would recommend.

Great cleanser/moisturizer. This is a daily use in my skincare routine and it leaves my skin feeling clean, moisturized, and protected. Onebottle will last me a few months. Can’t recommend this one enough even with the questionable color of the cleanser lol.

Este hidratante se ha vuelto un imprescindible en mi rutina diaria. Deja mi piel suave, fresca y bien hidratada, sin sensación pegajosa. Desde que lo uso, mi rostro luce más saludable y luminoso, y me siento más confiada con mi piel.

I love my CeraVe!!! I have Rosacea and hormonal adult acne and this is gentle and effective and helps maintain and restore my skin barrier. I follow up with Cerave moisturizer after spraying my face with an antimicrobial spray.
