CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Review 

Cerave hydrating cleanser

The CeraVe hydrating cleanser caught my eye after the brand blew up on Tiktok last year. I tried their moisturizing cream which I found a bit disappointing so I honestly didn’t have high hopes for this cleanser, but I thought it might be worth a try since so many adore the brand. Let’s see what the CeraVe hydrating cleanser has to offer:

Consistency 

The CeraVe hydrating cleanser has an extremely unique hydrating texture. I’ve tried hydrating cleansers in the past, but none of them have hydrated my dry skin like the CeraVe hydrating cleaner does. When I apply this cleanser to my skin, it literally feels like I’m applying moisturizer! The first few times I tried this cleanser, I couldn’t believe something so hydrating could cleanse my skin at the same time. 

The pump dispenses a large amount of cleanser, but I prefer using 2 pumps each cleanse. I only use this cleanser at night in my double cleansing routine with the Banila Co. clean it zero cleansing balm. On the rare occasion that I do cleanse in the morning, it doesn’t dry out my skin!

Scent

Those of you who have sensitive skin or are sensitive to fragrance will be happy to know that this cleanser has no fragrance! 

 

Highlighted Ingredients

Ceramides– fatty acids that protect the skin barrier (this cleanser is formulated with 3 different kinds of ceramides)

Hyaluronic Acid– hydrates the skin and attracts water

Glycerin– emollient that moisturizes the skin 

Price 

This cleanser comes in 4 different sizes at all very affordable prices! The regular size is 12 oz for $13 ($1.06 per oz), but I’ve been getting the value size of 16 oz for $15 ($0.93 per oz) because I am simply obsessed as you can tell! 

 

Packaging

The CeraVe cleanser comes in a pump that is very easy to use and can be twisted to reseal. Since the container is quite large and bulky (especially if you have the value size like me), I would recommend getting their 3 oz travel size that comes in a squeezable tube if you plan on taking it on the go.

Results

This cleanser is easily my favorite cleanser I’ve ever used! I never thought the cleanser that literally transformed my skin could be so affordable. I am currently on my second value size tube because I adore this product so much. I notice my dry skin feels more hydrated while using this and I even have less breakouts!

I would recommend this cleanser specifically for dry skin, but CeraVe has many different cleansers for different skin types. If you have oily or acne prone skin, I would recommend their salicylic acid cleanser.

 

Have you tried CeraVe?

    Oh this sounds really good I may have to try this. I do not like when cleansers dry out or strip your skin. Great review!!

    Hello dear Jill! So happy to stop by your site again! Finally after a short break and first of all I hope you’re having a fantastic 2022 so far!

    I was excited to check out this detailed review! I am a Cerave lover from a few years ago and I bet this is as good as the normal-oily version that I use! What I like the most is that skin ends up with a soft texture, it is not the typical cleanser that leaves your skin dry and like a piece of cardboard.

    I totally recommend you to use some of the Cerave body cleansers or the body cream!

    Take care and can we talk about the fantastic pictures in this blog post? *_*

    I’ve been using this cleanser for roughly a year, and I don’t plan on stopping! I love it too, for its hydrating factors (with other cleansers, my skin always feels dry after use). It’s the only product I’ve tried from the brand, but I may try other products in the future. It’s an affordable brand for me so I like that 🙂

    This sounds brilliant! Since accutane, my skin has definitely become more dry and I feel like a lot of cleansers are too harsh for me. I’ll have to try this! x
