CeraVe Foaming Cleanser


Face wash & body cleanser for normal to oily skin β oil control
The CeraVe Foaming Cleanser is a gel-to-foam face wash made for normal to oily skin. It lifts away excess oil, dirt and makeup, then rinses clean without leaving skin tight or stripped. It's oil-free, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), and it was developed with dermatologists. Available in 236ml ($29.99) and 473ml ($39.99).
Oily skin usually means excess sebum β the natural waxy oil your skin produces. This cleanser is built to remove that excess without over-cleansing. It pairs a gentle foaming base with three ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, so skin feels clean and comfortable rather than squeaky and dry. The formula is sulfate-free, paraben-free, oil-free and allergy-tested.
What it does not contain: no fragrance, no oils, no sulfates, no parabens β and no exfoliating acids. If you want a salicylic-acid cleanser for exfoliation or blemishes, see the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser instead.
It can also be used as a body wash. General information only β see the disclaimer below.
