CeraVe : Foaming Facial Cleanser

This face wash has really helped with clearing my acne. I've been using it for 3 months. You know how your skin can feel tight after washing your face? Yeah, that's bad for your skin and will not help your acne. This face wash doesn't leave you feeling tight or dry even if you wash it like 3 times back to back. It's gentle, it cleans your face really well, and you can use it throughout the whole day and not dry out your face. From someone who has acne since 12 and currently at 21- I highly recommend it. Absolutely the best I've used.

I love this face wash, it removes my makeup and eye makeup very easily. It doesn't sting my eyes and leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean. Doesn't leave behind a sticky feeling like some other cleansers. The smell is very faint it foams up great and the bottle lasts a long time!

This is the best cleanser for acne prone skin! Even better than Cetaphil. It foams lightly and cleans off all makeup and makes skin feel fresh, clean and hydrated. I've been using this along with the CeraVe PM moisturizing lotion, and my topical medicines of generic Retin-A and generic Benzaclin. I totally recommend this, best gentle effective cleanser ever! My skin is calm and acne-free!

I have tried several cleansers but this is the only product that has worked for me. I really like the fact that it does not overdry my skin. My skin feels clean, but it does not feel 'squeaky clean' which is how it should be. The pump makes it easy to dispense the product. I use this product in the shower as well. The hyaluronic acid really helps to hydrate my skin. Although this isn't an ''acne'' cleanser, I still feel as if it cleans my skin the way an ''acne'' cleanser would. This is so gentle. I will never go back to using any other cleanser.

First off; I had been using the dan kern cleanser for a couple years cause i liked it so much. It's so incredibly cleansing, even better than a lot of harsh cleansers out there, fairly gentle, and wasn't extremely drying, in comparison to other harsh cleansers i had used beforehand. A couple months ago, I decided to purchase a few cerave products, I had been looking into them for awhile. The moisturizing lotion is great but had some negative aspects that have caused me to stop using it, for my face at least; but this cleanser has remained a constant in my skincare. It is thicker in consistency than dk's, and when built into a good lather creates a nice thick-feeling lather. As I stated in my cons, it does take practice for a good lather but the key is water. Previous products that are on the skin need to be rinsed thoroughly beforehand and then once your skin is soaked well in water, the cleanser will lather well. Therefore it works the best in the shower when your face has most likely been rinsed well of the products applied and there's a lot of water on. In the sink however, it does take a little longer than usual to get everything rinsed well before you use the actual cleanser, but i've gotten used to it. I didn't even realize how drying i felt the dk cleanser to be until I used this one and felt how cleansed yet hydrated my skin was after.

This is one awesome cleanser! It foams up, removes makeup (except some waterproof eyemakeup), and helps to restore the skin's protective barrier that many of us with acne will scrub off trying to dry up zits. I'm on my 3rd bottle and not planning on switching anytime soon.

I will use this product for the rest of my life. Best face wash I have every come across.

Was looking for a product to replace Cetaphil (a product that wasn't tested on animals) and stumbled across a reference to this cleanser. Bought it and loved it, it works better than Cetaphil. My skin is in much better condition! I am in my mid-thirties with combo skin and have inflammatory acne. I follow the regimen (or as closely as possible) and now use this cleanser. I would highly recommend this cleanser. My acne gets worse if I use any type of moisturizer but with this cleanser my skin is soft and I experience no dryness so no moisturizer necessary. My skin reacts to most cleansers so anytime I have to switch or try a new one and my skin "dislikes" it I usually wind up spending weeks trying to reach a happy balance again. This cleanser caused no such upset, just happy skin.

I didn't realize that I have been lucky to only have mild acne, until my skin exploded. In the matter of months, I went from clear to acne on every portion of my face. Of course, when it first started happening, I upped my Clarasonic use, I increased medicated treatment uses, etc. I got worse and worse. I tried Purpose (which I use successfully for years), glytone, clean and clear advantage, and they all caused acne aggravation. This cleanser is calming to my combination and very sensitive skin. Be sure to test this out in a small location for a few days to see if your skin tolerates it. Here's hoping for clearer skin for all of us.

I use this in the AM and PM. At night, I use it with a sensitive skin Konjac Sponge (EcoTools), because I find it does not remove all makeup on its own. However, this stuff is super gentle, and does NOT dry out your skin. I find the best acne routines involve a gentle cleanser and a spot treatment afterwards. I have had BAD experiences with cleansers such as Clean&Clear that contain fragrances, strong chemicals, and acne meds. This cleanser (which isnt even specifically for acne) has helped heal my skin more than any acne product has! This is my (gentle) routine with this product: AM: CeraVe foaming cleanser, argan oil, IT cosmetics powder foundation, birth control PM: CeraVe foaming cleanser with sponge, aloe vera gel This routine is gentle yet effective. It has healed my skin 90%. While i do believe the birth control is making the biggest difference for me, this product has helped the healthiness and tone of my skin, and I will use this forever! Give it a try and ditch the harsh acne products. Being gentle with acne is usually the best option.
