The CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser provides a unique cleansing experience, particularly for those with normal to dry skin. Its non-foaming texture is a key characteristic, ensuring that the skin's natural moisture is preserved during cleansing. When applied, it feels creamy and smooth, effectively lifting away impurities, dirt, and light makeup without creating a lather.
For optimal results, apply a small amount to damp skin, gently massage in a circular motion, and then rinse thoroughly. Users often report their skin feeling soft, comfortable, and hydrated immediately after use, without any sensation of tightness or dryness.
This cleanser is excellent for daily use, both in the morning to refresh the skin and in the evening to remove the day's accumulation of grime and light SPF. Its barrier-restoring properties make it an ideal choice for maintaining skin health, especially when used as part of a consistent skincare routine. It works well as a first cleanse for light makeup, or as a second cleanse after an oil-based makeup remover for heavier makeup. Its gentle nature also makes it suitable for use around the delicate eye area.
Integrating the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser into your daily routine is straightforward:
Morning: Use as the first step to cleanse your face, removing any overnight impurities.
Evening: Use as the first step to remove daily grime and light makeup. For heavier makeup or SPF, consider a pre-cleanse with an oil-based remover before using the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser.
Application: Dispense a small amount onto your fingertips. Gently massage onto wet skin in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean, soft towel.
This cleanser is formulated to be highly compatible with a wide range of skincare products:
Moisturizers: It pairs perfectly with CeraVe moisturizers, such as the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion or Cream, to lock in hydration.
Serums: Can be used before applying various serums, including vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or niacinamide serums, as it prepares the skin without leaving residue.
Treatments: Its gentle nature makes it suitable for use alongside stronger active treatments (e.g., retinoids, AHAs/BHAs), helping to prevent over-drying or irritation.
Storage: Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
Dispensing: The pump dispenser ensures hygienic and easy access to the product. Keep the pump clean.
Travel: For travel, ensure the pump is locked or transfer to a travel-sized container to prevent leaks.
