The CeraVe Foaming Cleanser is an ideal daily facial wash for individuals with normal to oily skin, expertly formulated to cleanse away impurities, dirt, and excess oil without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. Its key strength lies in its dermatologist-developed blend of essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, providing gentle yet effective cleansing while supporting skin health. While highly beneficial for its target skin type, users should note that for heavy or waterproof makeup, a dedicated makeup remover might be needed first.

The CeraVe Foaming Cleanser excels at providing a refreshing and thorough cleanse for normal to oily skin. Its foaming action efficiently lifts away impurities, excess sebum, and light makeup without stripping essential moisture. Users will notice a clean, fresh feel without the common tightness associated with harsh cleansers. The inclusion of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide ensures that while cleansing, the product actively works to maintain the skin's barrier integrity and soothe the skin.
Wet Skin: Begin by wetting your face and neck with lukewarm water.
Apply Cleanser: Dispense a small amount (a pea-sized to dime-sized amount) of the cleanser into your palm.
Lather and Massage: Gently rub your hands together to create a light foam, then massage the cleanser onto your face and neck in a gentle, circular motion. Avoid vigorous scrubbing.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your skin completely with lukewarm water until all traces of the cleanser are gone.
Pat Dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel. Avoid rubbing.
For optimal results, use twice daily, in the morning and evening, as the first step in your skincare routine. This cleanser can be followed by your preferred CeraVe moisturizer and other skincare treatments.
Your CeraVe Foaming Cleanser comes ready to use. Simply unlock the pump by twisting the nozzle counter-clockwise (if applicable) and prime it a few times to dispense the product.
Skin Types: Formulated specifically for normal to oily skin.
Routine Integration: Compatible with most skincare routines. It can be used alongside serums, treatments, and moisturizers from CeraVe or other brands.
Makeup Removal: Effective for removing light makeup. For waterproof or heavy makeup, consider using a dedicated makeup remover as a pre-cleanse step.
Storage: Store the cleanser in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Temperature: Avoid extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold) which could affect product consistency.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, usually a small open jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '12M' for 12 months), printed on the packaging for product longevity after opening. Ensure the cap or pump is securely closed after each use to prevent contamination and drying.
