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....

Like the cream to foam better
I love the cerave skin line ALOT, but don't care for the facial cleanser wash. It was to much like a heavy lotion on my face. I absolutely LOVE the cream to foam facial wash so much better.
Recommend
I love this brand because of the ingredients. This cleanser doesn't have scent and doesn't irritate my skin. It cleans skin gently and doesn't try my skin. The package came so quick and I love this product. Recommend
Hydrating cleanser
I received this product for free from influencer. This foamy face wash is the best. I can wash my makeup off instantly. I have dry and oily skin, so I know this product works for any skin type. My face feels so clean and hydrated after a long day. I have tried many products and this one is by far my favorite.

Did nothing but dry my skin out
Stripped way too much of the oils from my skin, right after I wash it off my face is SO dry. Doesn't even help with acne. I guess the only positive thing about it is that it didn't break me out, or did it? I have no clue..
