A foaming gel that clears oil and impurities without stripping the skin barrier
CeraVe Foaming Cleanser is a daily foaming gel cleanser for normal to oily skin, including acne-prone skin. It removes excess sebum and impurities gently, while three essential ceramides help restore the skin barrier. Hyaluronic acid keeps the skin hydrated and niacinamide calms and comforts it, so it also suits skin using drying acne treatments.
The texture
A clear gel that turns into a light foam on wet skin and rinses off easily. Skin feels clean and fresh, not tight. It is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic.
Who it suits
- Normal to oily skin with shine
- Acne-prone skin, including on the body
- Skin dried out by acne treatments
- Anyone wanting one cleanser for face and body
Worth knowing before you buy: For dry or very dry skin, a cream cleanser such as the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is a better match.
