CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for Daily Face Washing

I had a coupon for CeraVe products and picked up both of the cleansers and their daily moisturizer. So happy I did, because they are amazing. TL;DR: I use both the Foaming and the Hydrating cleansers in my routine. They have different places, but are both wonderful cleansers, especially if you know how to get the most out of them. The cost is right on the money for a 12 ounce container and they last quite a while. I can generally get 3+ months out of one container using it once a day. Great value for great cleansers. I have Combination-Dehydrated/Extra Dry skin. Basically, my skin is generally dry, extra dry in the wintertime. Because of hormones from having a baby combined with enviromental factors, stress, and working on settling on a skincare routine that worked for me, my normally oily Tzone is dehydrated. Although it gets oily, the skin under the oil is flaky and can crack if not moisturized twice a day. Many products leave a minor stinging/burning sensation on these dehydrated spots, the sides of my nose especially. My skin is eczema prone and only sensitive to certain ingredients. FOAMING VS HYDRATING I use both. I run a korean skincare routine (and love it) and this is just what works for me. I like to use the foaming in the morning since all it needs to remove is any product residue from my nighttime routine as well as any dirt, oil, and sebum from my slumbers. The foaming cleanser comes out almost like a gel. I rub it between my fingers to get it to start to cream up before working it onto my skin in gentle circular movements. Adding just a bit of water will allow it to foam up gently on your face. It hardly takes any effort at all to make it work. On my extra dry skin, it does leave me with a bit of a tight "clean" feeling, but it doesn't make me feel dry. The hydrating cleanser I use as part of my nighttime routine. I dual cleanse, so I start with the The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Light Oil to remove any makeup residue (See the makeup section below for more info) and sunscreen. Then I follow up with my CeraVe hydrating cleanser. I used to hate it because I felt like my skin wasn't getting clean enough. I knew I needed a hydrating cleanser, but my skin just didn't feel clean afterwards. Or rather, my skin felt clean, but not deeply clean like I experience with other cleansers. The cream cleanser just didn't seem to be able to work it's way, even slightly, into my pores. It was also the only time I had ever had an issue with finding any residual dirt on my cotton pad when using my toner afterwards. I blame my oily Tzone for this. My aesthetician recommended pairing it with a cleansing brush, so I pulled the Clarisonic I thought my skin was too sensitive for out of storage, popped on a new brush head (because two years in storage with a used brushhead? Yeah, no.) and went to town. I was amazed. Using a brush with the hydrating cleanser is a complete game changer. You don't even need a Clarisonic if you don't have one! They sell inexpensive manual brushes for a few dollars that will work just fine. Using a brush with it really changed how well it cleaned my face. My pores felt clean and no more residue on my toner pads. I use both cleansers because my skin is too sensitive for the use of my Clarisonic more than once a day, even with the sensitive brush heads. I -need- that clean pore feeling though, so that is why the foaming cleanser is my choice in the morning. I don't use the foaming cleanser alone because it is just harsh enough on my dry skin that I can't use it more than once a day. It is made for those with normal/oily skin though, so it's to be expected. So yes, my routine probably makes you balk at how much effort it takes, but this is what works for me and my skin. I am fine with the effort, and that is all that matters. Another part that is brilliant, is that you don't even need to follow up with toner unless you want to. The purpose of toner is to return your skin to it's natural pH. Both of these cleansers have about a 5.5pH even with water, which makes them right in line with your natural pH. I use my alcohol free toner anyway, but that's a personal preference. MAKEUP REMOVAL I don't actually use these for makeup removal. I personally like to use an eye/lip remover and a makeup wipe for significant makeup in the summer. I use a Ponds cold cream for significant makeup in the winter because of my need to combat my dry skin. My dual cleansing with the oil cleanser by The Face Shop is my preferred method because I don't feel like one cleanser can remove all your makeup and cleanse your skin. I feel that not dual cleansing just moves the makeup around on your face and leaves your toner to clean up the remaining bits so you can have a "clean enough" face. I want better than "clean enough" for my skin. Dual cleansing has been amazing for it's tone, texture, and the way my products work. You notice I say "significant makeup" there. Most days I will wear just BB cream and mascara, so on those days I will just jump right to my oil cleanser by The Face Shop. It removes those easily and without irritation. Full face makeup I feel like I have to do more scrubbing at my face to remove, which is why I like to remove more of it before washing instead of having to oil cleanse twice. All that being said, I did use both of these cleansers to remove makeup. I tried them with my simple BB cream + mascara routine, full face makeup, and full coverage foundation with a heavy smokey eye. FOAMING: Did a good job at removing all three makeup styles. BB+Mas was easy and came off with no effort. Full Face it did well, but couldn't remove the water proof mascara and struggled with the liquid liner of my cat eye. The Full coverage look it tried, but struggled. I found I had to wash my face, rinse, and then wash again to get any sort of a clean face and still ended up with a dirty toner pad at the end. It wasn't extremely dirty, but it was more dirt than I like to see after using a cleanser. Eye makeup removal did leave mild eye irritation. HYDRATING: Did a great job with all three makeup looks and did remove the waterproof mascara and the cat eye with ease. The Full Face and Full Coverage looks both required a wash, rinse, repeat in order to remove everything and even with the double wash, all three looks left dirt on my toner's cotton pad. The dirt wasn't so bad on the BB+Mas look, but the other two, when I didn't wash, rinse, repeat, was so dirty it would take 1-2 pads to remove it all. It was like it lifted the makeup off my skin, but then just moved it around. I might be a little too anal about how clean my face needs to be/feel, so your mileage might vary. I've tried dozens of cleansers, Western and Asian alike and these are both wonderful cleansers. The foaming can work for most skin types. Dry skin wants to be careful and sensitive skin might want to avoid it. The hydrating can work for everyone, though no as well on someone with very oily skin, but you will get the most out of your cleanser by using it with a cleansing brush of your choice. They might not be the best for makeup removal, but if you don't wear full coverage foundation (or don't have a problem with wash, rinse, repeat) and can live with using a separate eye/lip makeup remover, these can easily be amazing all the time cleansers in your routine. Now if only Amazon would add the Hydrating cleanser to their Subscribe and Save service instead of just the Add-On program.

I have suffered with adult acne for many years, WAY more than when I was younger. Being 29 years old, it sucks having teenage skin. Psh! I have bought several products the past few years and basically a trial and error with even expensive breaking the bank products that just end up bring chucked in the garbage. I started looking to youtube for anything worth buying and in a certain price rang and came across this brand. I HIGHLY recommend CeraVe products for any skin condition, especially dry acne prone skin. When I say I stuggle, I mean bad struggled with acne. I believe it's cystic but also dryness caused normal acne. I have only been using for a week and I literally saw a difference within about 24 hours and here is why: The same time I bought this about a week ago, I also purchased the CeraVe moisturizer, an olay cleanser brush that came with an exfoliating wash also repurchused rose water aloe vera toner. I first use this CeraVe cleanser with the brush for 2 minutes. It's super gentle but effective and exactly what ive been looking for. Just because you don't have suds doesn't mean it isn't working!! I wash face with luke warm water and from there, I use my olay exfoliating wash for 3 minutes or so while the brush is on gentle. I wash with luke warm water and pat dry. I've decided to only use african black soap once a week, which was my daily wash but found it drys the skin out terribly but is effective with drying acne if not used daily. This is also used with the brush for about a minute. After washing off with luke warm water, I use the rose water aloe vera toner (I try not to weAR any make up what so ever unless i leAve my home so, I use the toner though out the day and seriously guys, you would be amazed how dirty your fAce it without seeING it, toner on a cotton ball will show you). Let air dry for a few minutes, then apply a generous amount of the CeraVe moisturizer on my face, behind my ears and neck area and once rubbed in, I reapply on my problem areas which is forehead, around my eyes and chin, allow to sit for 60 seconds and rub in. Also, every other week I use the Indian clay mask if needed. Vitamin E oil is great for moisture as well! Anyways, this is a great face wash and I highly recommend it!

Best product for sensitive skin

Cerave ist in den USA eine "Billigmarke" für gut gemachte, effektive Hautpflege , die vollgepackt ist mit guten Inhaltsstoffen, die ich in deutschen Drogerieprodukten vergeblich gesucht habe. Und auch die Inhaltsstofte in vielen hochgelobten, hochpreisigen Hautpflegeprodukten sehen dagegegen "alt" aus. Das einzige was bei den Cerave-Produkten "alt" aussieht ist die Verpackung. Aber da kommts ja nicht drauf an. Und zur Not kann man das Produkt ja auch in was Schickes umfüllen...:) Und nun zu dem Hydrating Cleanser: Was ist drin: Für die Gemeinde der INCI - AnbeterInnen : zu den Inhaltsstoffen brauche ich wohl nicht viel zu schreiben, einfach das Bild von Rückseite der Flasche mit dem garnicht mal so klein gedruckten Inhaltsstoffen anklicken. Für alle anderen, die einfach nur einen guten Cleanser suchen; viel Hyaluron und viele Ceramide, keine Duftstoffe und dank einer Verkapselungs-Technologie werden die guten Sachen den ganzen Tag über in die Haut geschleust, was will man mehr. Verpackung und Anwendung und Wirkung bei mir: Sehr gut ist schon mal die Pumpflasche. Ein Pump ist völlig ausreichend für das angefeuchtete Gesicht und Hals. Cleanser mit den Händen oder besser noch dem Clarisonic in die Haut einmassieren. Mit lauwarmen Wasser abspülen und fertig ist die Laube. Die Haut ist super gereinigt, schön weich und für die weiteren Pflegeschritte vorbereitet, Nach dem Reinigen spannt und brennt nichts aber auch garnichts, da rötelt nichts, da muss nicht sofort eine rettende Feuchtigkeitscreme drübergegeben werden, weil die Gesichtshaut so ausgelaugt ist wie die die Wüste Gobi ..., ganz im Gegenteil, dke Haut ist genial durchfeuchtet, aber nicht brachial durchfettet, wie bei anderen reichhaltigeren Reinigerlotionen für trockenere, "reife" Hauttyen, die einen schmierigen Film auf der Haut hinterlassen und bei mir immer sofort Pusteln verursachen. Ich verwende den Cleanser auch gerne solo abends nach dem Sport als Feuchtigkeitsspender, wenn es noch zu früh ist sich das volle Pflege-Nachtprogramm ins Gesicht zu zelebrieren. Make-up entferne ich allerdings immer vorher grob mit ölhaltigen Cleansern, sicher ist sicher. Meine Haut: ist normal bis trocken mit einer leicht fetteligen T-Zone, aber einem mega Zickenpotential, sobald gewisse Duftstoffe, brachiale Alkoholverbindungen, schlechte Ernährung, wenig frische Luft, die Hormone und der Weltschmerz ins Spiel kommen.... Die Konsistenz dieses Hydrating-Cleansers ist eher farblos und gel-artig , was ich immer gerne mag. Es bildet sich ein sehr dezenter und feiner Schaum. Der Cleanser riecht nach fast nichts, geruchlos halt mit einem klitzekleinen Gemuffel nach Platikflasche im Abgang. Ergiebigkeit: Ich verwende den Gesichtreiniger immer morgens und abends und komme mit diesen 12 oz (ca 370 ml) mindestens 4 Monate aus. Der Preis ist etwa 2.5 mal so hoch wie in den USA, so isses eben. Aber die Investition lohnt sich. Ich habe dieses Produkt auf permanenter Kauf-Wiedervorlage und möchte dieses Produkt uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Received the item in excellent condition as it was fully wrapped with bubble plastic. True to it’s claims, this facial wash is really great for those who are having dry skin. I just stopped my rejuvenation regimen and I had extremely dry skin. It hurts so bad that no matter what kind of gentle product I use on my face don’t help with the dryness. Then whilst I was searching for the best wash in the market recommended by dermatologist, this thing popped up. Since I’m hesitant on it’s effect I’m glad that there’s a smaller version of it for me to try. It’s quite pricey for price but I think it can be used for quite some time. It cleans my skin without stripping it off. It doesn’t lather which I find good since I associate bubbles with dryness. Good for those who wears a little make up to nothing at all. holy grail if it really lives up to it’s claim.

Limpiador super suave y delicado con la piel. Quita todo el maquillaje y deja mi piel hidratada, suave y con un brillo muy natural. Aparte está super bien de precio ya que el bote es muy grande.
