I had a coupon for CeraVe products and picked up both of the cleansers and their daily moisturizer. So happy I did, because they are amazing.TL;DR: I use both the Foaming and the Hydrating cleansers in my routine. They have different places, but are both wonderful cleansers, especially if you know how to get the most out of them. The cost is right on the money for a 12 ounce container and they last quite a while. I can generally get 3+ months out of one container using it once a day. Great value for great cleansers.I have Combination-Dehydrated/Extra Dry skin. Basically, my skin is generally dry, extra dry in the wintertime. Because of hormones from having a baby combined with enviromental factors, stress, and working on settling on a skincare routine that worked for me, my normally oily Tzone is dehydrated. Although it gets oily, the skin under the oil is flaky and can crack if not moisturized twice a day. Many products leave a minor stinging/burning sensation on these dehydrated spots, the sides of my nose especially. My skin is eczema prone and only sensitive to certain ingredients.FOAMING VS HYDRATINGI use both. I run a korean skincare routine (and love it) and this is just what works for me. I like to use the foaming in the morning since all it needs to remove is any product residue from my nighttime routine as well as any dirt, oil, and sebum from my slumbers. The foaming cleanser comes out almost like a gel. I rub it between my fingers to get it to start to cream up before working it onto my skin in gentle circular movements. Adding just a bit of water will allow it to foam up gently on your face. It hardly takes any effort at all to make it work. On my extra dry skin, it does leave me with a bit of a tight "clean" feeling, but it doesn't make me feel dry.The hydrating cleanser I use as part of my nighttime routine. I dual cleanse, so I start with the This is a great cleanser. It works very well for sensitive skin and won’t make you break out. The only thing I can say about it is that it doesn’t foam up so if you’re looking for a foaming cleanser I don’t recommend this otherwise it’s a really great cleanser.I have repurchased this product so many times that I have two extra back ups in my collection. This never makes my face dry and really helps clean my face. I am curious to try other face washes from this brand.I regret that it took me so long to discover CeraVe -- I wish I had known about this stuff years ago! In this review I'm going to cover all the CeraVe products I've used, not just the Hydrating Cleanser I'm posting this under.I am in my 40s and have had "difficult" skin since I was a teenager. I've suffered frequent breakouts my entire adult life, and as I've gotten older my skin has somehow managed to become dry and oily at the same time. I have tried so many products over the years, many of them costing much more than this stuff, and nothing has really worked well and consistently for me until now. For the first time in my life, I have consistently clear skin -- I haven't had a breakout in months, and the dryness is pretty much under control too, even in the dead of winter!This is the regimen I use:1) CeraVe Cleanser -- I first started with the Foaming Cleanser. That didn't break me out, but it was drying, so I've shelved it for now (might go back to it during the summer months). Instead I'm using the Hydrating Cleanser now, and this stuff is a dream. It doesn't lather, which took some getting used to, but it goes on like silk and feels so nice on my skin. It takes off makeup easily, and helps with dryness. No breakouts, no flakes, no redness, yay.2) Toner -- I use plain witch hazel as a toner (Witch Hazel Distillate by The Homestead Company, http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TH71W0 . Love this stuff, it's the only alcohol-free witch hazel I've ever found.)3) CeraVe Moisturizer -- I use the AM in the AM and the PM in the PM :) Both feel awesome on my skin, absorb nicely, have no scent, and don't irritate or break me out in any way. The AM is thicker due to its SPF, while the PM is thinner and lighter. Love both of them, they work beautifully with my skin and feel fantastic.4) CeraVe Eye Repair Cream -- This is the only CeraVe product that I've felt underwhelmed by. It feels nice and doesn't have any ill effects, but it doesn't really seem to do anything positive either. In my experience, that's true of most eye creams (ha). I can't really recommend this one, because I saw no change at all with it.5) CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion and CeraVe Moisturizing Cream -- I use the lotion as a body lotion after showering, and I use the cream as a hand cream. The lotion is thinner and lighter, while the cream is thick and rich. I really like both of them, the cream especially.None of the CeraVe products have a scent to them, which I really appreciate. None of them irritate my ridiculously sensitive skin in any way. All of them (except the eye cream) have improved my skin in remarkable and immediate ways. And they are all dirt cheap!! I still can't believe how amazing this stuff is. I wish I had known about it years and years ago. I have never been happier with a line of skin care products, and I have tried a bunch of them. I cannot recommend this stuff highly enough and hope they never ever stop making it.Perfect size. Honestly I end up re using the bottle and filling it with my large bottle when I need to.This is a fabulous gentle cleanser with very good hydrating ingredients. Fragrance-free as well.I have seen reviews taking stars down and saying that it costs less in Boots. Well, when something is cheaper - check why! I have included pictures of both of the ingredients lists.The US version sold here has the active ingredients - ceramides, hyaluronic acid, cholesterol - in the top 10 of the ingredients.The made in France version sold in the UK has them as last 20! This means they do not do anything to your skin. It actually seems like very drying facewash.I would go as far as to say that a totally different product is being sold in Boots and it is sad that we are being misled with an inferior product that just has the same name.Thankfully we can buy the US version here!I don’t understand how this cleanser is priced relatively high when the UK version is going for £6.75 at the moment in Boots. The only differences between the two is that the US version contains 355ml of formula compared to the UK version which is 236ml. Also the UK version does not contain any parabens at all in their list of ingredients which is a big plus for consumers. Other than that its pretty much the same cleanser you're paying for as I have brought the US and the UK version in recent months. Even with the extra bit of product you're getting with the US version it still doesn't justify paying £19.93.After over a decade of acne, this was my actual holy grail of skincare. I use this in combination with a prescription retinol and my skin had never been clearer - my breakouts have all but stopped. My skin is so soft and smooth after use, and the bumps I used to have under my skin are gone. If I could douse my entire body in this stuff I would!! Definitely a permanent addition to my routine, just a shame it’s so expensive in the UK.Pricewise this is very expensive to get in the UK hence 1 star removed.This Face Wash has been my go-to for years. It is effective and very very gentle on my ultra dry skin. It never leaves my face dry or tight. I use it mostly in the mornings as a wash. I massage it on to my face and leave it whilst I brush my teeth, then wash it off. Afterwards my skin feels refreshed and hydrated. I doubt it would be very effective for removing makeup, for which I use an oil in the evening (Una Brennan Superfacialist Vitamin C+ Skin Renew Cleansing Oil ). The Cerave has no scent, does not foam, but is not too thick and sticky. It has a watery creamy consistency that is very easy and fast to wash off.I have also recently found this to be the perfect cream to shave my elderly Dad who was suffering from very dry flaky skin and razor burn. We switched him over to "Phillips One Blade" and use this for a wet shave in the shower. His skin now looks amazing and well nourished. :)Purchased after seeing it recommended by Angie from the You Tube Channel 'Hot and Flashy'. I use it as part of a double cleanse routine after using either a micellar water or Yes to Coconuts cream cleanser (depending on how much/what type of make up/sunscreen I'm taking off). My sensitive (I use retinol) skin loves it. That's all I can really say. A permanent addition to my skincare routine.
