A foaming gel that removes excess oil without disrupting the skin barrier
CeraVe Foaming Cleanser Normal to Oily Skin is a daily foaming gel for normal to oily skin that removes excess sebum and impurities without stripping the skin. Its vegan formula contains three essential ceramides to help repair the skin barrier, hyaluronic acid to keep skin hydrated and niacinamide to soothe. It suits face and body, and people using drying acne treatments.
The texture
A clear gel that turns into a light foam on wet skin and rinses off cleanly, leaving skin fresh and not tight.
Who it suits
- Normal to oily skin
- Acne-prone skin using drying treatments
- Face and body cleansing
- Households that go through cleanser quickly
Worth knowing before you buy: It is a cleanser, not a treatment: skin with active acne will still need targeted care. Very dry skin may prefer CeraVe's hydrating cleanser.
