CeraVe : Hydrating Cleanser

I bought this because I was fed up with things irritating my skin... I tried to go "natural" and organic or whatever (I used desert essence with added jojoba oil), but it dried my face out, turned it red, and did nothing for my acne. I also tried "natural" lotions, but they also did not moisturize, contributed to my breakouts, and turned my face red. I finally threw everything out and started over with this cleanser and the cerave lotion, and some dickenson's witch hazel toner. ...and my face hasn't looked this good in months. i'm now convinced acne is 85% hormones, and 15% irritation. my face is fair with mild rosacea, and I have moderate acne that flairs up when my hormones are out of wack. this cleanser is so mild that it does not hurt my skin. it does feel like washing your face with lotion, but you get used to it. my face feels so soft afterward. people keep saying it does not take off make-up but... has anyone ever heard of a wash cloth? it works just fine. i wash once, and then gently rub some more on my face with a cloth. overall... I definitely recommend it to anyone with really sensitive skin like mine. It didn't break me out, and everything breaks me out. (I cannot speak for everyone, however.) your skin will feel so soft and supple... and hopefully pimple-free like mine :)

I've been using this product for about a year, and I think that it's been helping my skin a lot. It feels like lotion, and slips on your face every easily. I used another cerave wash and that left my skin very dry, but this one makes my skin feel soft. If you have hyper pigmentation, I suggest you use this product.

I bought this for my dry/sensitive skin and it leaves my face really smooth. Other face washes I've tried dry out my skin.

I have to use jojoba oil beforehand if I'm wearing makeup. Kind of annoying to add another step in but I do it because it's neccessary. This is why I give it 4 "stars" instead of 5. I was having a major problem with flakes so I changed up my DKRegimen. I wash with this now, Paula's Choice 1% BHA Lotion, Dan's BP, CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. My flakes are gone! I started out using one pump but noticed that two pumps are more effective. The cleanser doesn't foam up but that's fine with me. It kind of feels like a watery lotion but doesn't leave a residue. I picked "moderate" acne because that's what I have when not on the DKRegimen. I only get 1 or two spots around that time of month now.

my dermatologist suggested me that if you are breaking out shouldnt use a cleanser with a lot of foam so she recommend me this and it works well with my face even though my face is little bit oily when using Cerave products

I would most definitely recommend this cleanser!

A unique product. Prior to using CeraVe I was only able to wash with water as other cleansers would dry my skin too much. I find this is much less the case now.

So great for very sensitive skin. I use this on occassion when I run out of my aveeno clear complection clenser, and I quite like it. I do, however, not like this one as much as other cleaners. After I use this, I do not feel like my skin is "clean" (if that makes any sense). Perfect if you want something very gentle.

Good product but if you are treating acne you need to add more to your protocall

Good gentle cleanser...it doesn't get rid of acne though.
