Review Summary

CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser is the ideal daily cleanser for normal to oily skin types seeking thorough cleansing without stripping. The gel formula creates a light foam that effectively removes excess oil, dirt, and makeup while respecting the skin's protective barrier. Unlike harsh foaming cleansers that leave skin tight and dry, this formula contains three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration while cleansing. The addition of niacinamide helps calm redness and control oil production. The cleanser rinses clean without leaving any residue or film on the skin. The fragrance-free, non-comedogenic formula won't clog pores or cause breakouts. The pump dispenser is convenient and hygienic, making it easy to dispense the perfect amount. With consistent use, skin appears clearer, more balanced, and less oily without feeling stripped or tight. However, those with very dry or sensitive skin may find even this gentle foaming cleanser too drying—the Hydrating Cleanser from the same line would be a better choice. For oily and acne-prone skin, this is a reliable, affordable daily cleanser.
