Traditionaloil cleansers use oils and other nourishing ingredients to help hydrate and thoroughly removeimpurities, dirt, and excessoilthat can build up on your skin. We recommend choosing aformulathat combines oil-based ingredients and surfactants, like ourHydrating FoamingOil Cleanser, whichcleanses without disrupting the skin barrier or stripping the skin of essential moisture. A healthy skin barrier is crucial for soft, smooth, healthy skin. In fact, you can compare the importance of a strong, intact skin barrier to the importance of having a strong, intact roof on your house. If your roof is damaged or weak, the interior of your home could be damaged by things like rain, wind, or even animal intruders. Similarly, a damaged or weak skin barrier allows things like bacteria, pollutants, or other irritants to pass through the top layers of your skin and cause damage. Plus, a weak barrier also allows moisture to escape from the skin. Ultimately, this leads to common skin concerns such as acne, rashes, and sensitive skin. In our opinion, CeraVe products deliver value for money, but take a look at other brands that don’t require you to sacrifice your precious money.

As we mentioned above, the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is able to clean without stripping your skin of its natural moisture thanks to the inclusion of ceramides. In fact, all CeraVe skin care products contain essential ceramides that your skin needs to help restore and maintain its natural barrier. The formulation has a velvet foam texture once lathered and I found it does not strip my skin of natural oils to make it feel tight and dry. I love that Cerave products are fragrance free. However this doesn’t mean their products don’t have a smell, however I appreciate no added fragrance to mask the smell of the ingredients. It was very mild, and did not stay on the skin after washing it off. I was hoping this might be a wonder product that helps take off my makeup - but alas it's more a take the day off when I am having a makeup-free day or after an oil cleanser first -- but that is fine. I hope that CeraVe one day bring out a line of an oil cleanser to remove makeup because I would pledge my allegiance and they would be the ultimate holy grail products!!Yes, CeraVe Hydrating FoamingOil Cleanseris suitable for use as a face cleanser and body cleanser. You can use this product as the first step in your facial care or body care routine. After cleansing, continue with the rest of your routine, which should include a non-comedogenic moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen. MVE Technology: This patented delivery system continually releases moisturizing ingredients for all day hydration Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser gently cleanses and replenishes the skin’s moisture levels for all day hydration. The ultra-mild foaming texture provides a gentle approach to cleansing, without drying out the skin.

(Code F.I.L. C273796/1) No doubt, it is indeed a foaming cleanser, not a makeup removing oil. In fact, it can only remove super light makeup. If, like me, you wear a sunscreen every day plus a full makeup look with foundation and mascara/liner, you’ll have to remove your makeup first with a proper makeup removing product, no doubt about it! Gently massage the product onto your wet skin - emulsifying the oil cleanser into a foam consistency and avoiding the area around the eyes. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is claimed to do all of the things a normal cleanser would do — remove dirt, makeup, and other debris — but without disrupting the skin’s natural protective barrier or stripping the skin of its natural moisture. It is a non-comedogenic face wash that works well on all skin types, even those with acne-prone or sensitive skin.

Formula-wise, it contains gentle cleansing ingredients, plenty of essential ceramides to preserve the skin barrier, squalane, hyaluronic acid and cholesterol, and its pH is neutral (so 7, which is a bit high for my preference, but it never stripped my skin; just goes to show that the formula is still queen 😉 )! Because nope, CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser is not a makeup remover, but rather a face and body wash!

I am obsessed with ALL THINGS CeraVe. They can do no wrong in my mind. Every product I have tried, from the Hydrating cleanser to the hydrating foaming cleanser and now the Hydrating Foaming Oil cleanser. I love that this product is catered towards my dry skin, it really does the job in terms of cleansing my face and helps take the day away. It does require you to have already damp/wet skin which is fine for AFTER you have taken your makeup off. CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser is a cleansing oil for the face and body, which is primarily intended for dry or very dry skin. In addition to surfactants and ceramides, the only other key ingredient in the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is an excellent ingredient to use for increasing skin hydration because it is able to absorb and hold more water than any other natural substance—up to 1,000 times its weight in water! What is CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser?To help support the delicate skin on your face, it’s especially important to look for gentle, non-comedogenic cleansers that won’t clog your pores, as well as fragrance-free products with beneficial ingredients. For example, whereas foaming cleansers are generally recommended for oily skin types, a cream-based formula can be a great option for dry skin. Or, if you have rough and bumpy skin, you may benefit from choosing a facial cleanser with salicylic acid to help gently cleanse and exfoliate your skin. Oil cleansers work on the scientific principle of “like dissolves like.” This principle explains that, essentially, water dissolves water and oil dissolves oil. CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser uses oil-based ingredients to break down oil-based impurities on your skin’s surface (like makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum) and surfactants to break down water-based ingredients. For refilled products in the store, the most up to date list of ingredients should be obtained locally after refill of the product on the point of sale).
