Best Hydrating Cleanser I Have fFound!
This is the best hydrating cleanser I have found for the price! It doesn't contain any fragrance, which is terrible for your skin and doesn't leave your skin feeling tight. I love that it has hyaluronic acid. I have dry skin and dry patches. I use this cleanser and the CeraVe moisturizer in the tub....

This product left my face dry itchy and irritated.
Usually I am a big fan of Cerave products. Their face lotion and SA lotion for rough and bumpy skin has worked wonders for me and my children with mildly sensitive skin. However this face wash completely burned my skin and left me with red incredibly itchy and painful skin on my face after one ful...

Cerave it's the best
Cerave it's the best. Excellent product and great price
Favorite CeraVe Product!
I've tried lots of CeraVe's products and I have to say this was my favorite. I use it in the shower every day and it never fails to cleanse my face perfectly. I would DEFINITELY recommend.
Chock full of parabens
If you like endocrine disruptors, you'll love this stuff. Plenty of parabens to mess up your hormone levels. This stuff is illegal in other countries, and Ulta should not sell it. Guess I have to read every single label. Wildly disappointed.
Overrated
Unfortunately i was not not impressed. I do have combination skin type. I usually like CeraVe moisturizer but this cleanser didnt clean. Caused little tiny white heads every so often and jist didn't leave me squeaky clean. I also didn't like the texture so I think this cleanser maybe best for dry skin.
Beware!! This stuff is harsh!
I started using this several months ago because of the good reviews and I wanted a gentle cleanser. I did notice a burning feeling if I left it on too long, but ignored it. A short time later I was having really bad perioral dermatitis and tried everything I could think of to stop it (but still using this "gentle" cleanser). It wasnt until my daughter started using this cleanser and began getting dermatitis as well that I finally figured out it was this cleanser causing all our problems. After stopping it, we are both seeing major improvement. Beware, this stuff is harsh and not for everyone!!
