CeraVe : Hydrating Cleanser

I use this cleanser in conjunction with the PM lotion and Retin A .025%. I tried Cetaphil, Nutragena Extra Gentle, and Purpose cleansers as I needed something gentle with the Retin A, this is by far my favorite!! Has really reduced the irritation from the Retin A. I use the Am lotion with SPF 30 in the morning after cleansing again. I even had my husband try these because of his rosacea & dermatitis. After 1 night his skin looks better. Not perfect, but improved, I think with continued use this could really help him as well. We love it!!

Best cleanser ever. Ok. For me anyways. It totally transformed my skin. My skin tone is now even, and my face is soooo soft! It feels like you are washing your face with lotion almost, but the results are worth it. Excellent especially if you use any harsh treatments. Absolutley no irritation. I cant say how happy I am that I switched to this from my old cleanser. Cuts down on oil too. Give it a few weeks before you give up. Perfect. :)

First off, let me explain my skin. I have dry, acne prone skin thanks to my sluggish thyroid. So, I need a cleanser that gets rid of surface oils and dirt while not sapping my skin of moisture. *I'm using this product in conjunction with the CeraVe moisturizing lotion. This cleanser did the trick! After a few weeks of use, my skin tone evened out noticeably. I no longer have patches of dry, flaky skin. My skin is much softer and it's gotten back its youthful glow. I still get the occasional pimple, but it's usually only a single zit that goes away quickly. Most of the time I am break-out free, which is marvelous. Some people might be bothered that this cleanser does not foam up at all. It actually has the consistency of a gross between a lotion and a gel, and at first it doesn't really feel like it's getting your skin clean. However, once you get used to the consistency, you start to notice how great your skin feels after you use it! The biggest set-back to this product would be the price/size ratio. It's approximately $13.50 (American) for 12 fl. oz. of this product. I wish that it came in a smaller, more travel friendly size in addition to the large 12oz. bottle. Other than that, if you have dry/sensitive skin and acne, give this a try!

i would deffinatly reccomend this to anyone, really!! even my mom uses it! my face has taken a POUNDING over the years of sooo many harsh acne products! i've used oxy, neutrogena, proactive, clean & clear, noxzema, cetaphil, alba, olay, EVERYTHING!! you name it, i've tried it!! i tried cetaphil, which is supposed to be really gentle, but this even dried out my skin and made me break out! then i switched to alba pineapple enzyme facial cleanser, and at first it worked like a charm! but then it started drying my face out like CRAZY!! because the fruit enzymes in it are a form of AHA which can dry your skin out!! i remember several years ago my dermatologist gave me a big bag of samples in them, CeraVe being one of them, and i tried them ALL! but for some reason not CeraVe.... idk why! but yesterday i decided to give it a try, and it was probably one of the best things i've tried on my face, besides dans BP, which i use along with complex 15 moisturizer! it is sooooo gentle and after i wash my face, my skin tone is evenly balanced! i woke up this morning not really knowing what to expect, and amazingly enough the couple of zits that i did have went down and the redness was gone!!! i am so pleased!! this product is a staple in my regiman and i know after a while it will help restore my skin!! so i highly reccomend this product!! :-D

It was suggested to me by my dermatologist when I was prescribed some very drying topical creams. I used the sample and tried about 5 different other face washed ranging from 10 to 60 dollars and nothing worked as well as Cerave! I'm hooked and love how it truly doesn't over dry.

I use the moisturizers as well

This stuff is really nice and creamy, give it a try!
