Comprehensive Collection Guide: Find Your Formula
CeraVe cleansers are designed to do more than just clean; they protect your skin's vital barrier. UV rays and environmental pollutants damage the skin barrier, and standard cleansing can often strip it further. Here is how to choose the right one for your skin’s unique needs:
The Daily Essentials
- Hydrating Cleanser: A non-foaming lotion for Normal to Dry skin. It cleanses and hydrates without disrupting the skin barrier.
- Foaming Facial Cleanser: A gel-to-foam wash for Normal to Oily skin. It removes excess sebum and makeup while maintaining a healthy skin feel.
- Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser: The best of both worlds. It starts as a cream and transforms into a soft foam, removing long-wear makeup and SPF for Normal to Dry skin.
Targeted Treatment Cleansers
- SA Smoothing Cleanser: Specially formulated for Dry, Rough, or Bumpy skin. It uses Salicylic Acid to gently exfoliate (no harsh physical grains) while Ceramides keep skin soft.
- Blemish Control Cleanser: A powerful 2% Salicylic Acid wash for Blemish-Prone skin. It unclogs pores and reduces blackheads while Hectorite Clay absorbs excess shine.
- Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser: An ultra-gentle oil-to-foam formula for Very Dry to Atopic-Prone skin. It is safe for the entire family, from babies (1 month+) to adults.
Specialised Care
- Micellar Cleansing Water: An ultra-gentle, no-rinse formula to remove makeup and pollution while soothing the skin barrier.
Why Dermatologists Recommend CeraVe
Every cleanser in this collection is built on three core pillars:
- 3 Essential Ceramides: Every CeraVe cleanser is formulated with three essential ceramides to help restore and maintain the skin's natural protective barrier.
- MVE Technology: A patented delivery system that provides a slow release of moisture for all-day comfort.
- Dermatological Testing: All formulas are developed with dermatologists to be non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and paraben-free, ensuring high tolerance on sensitive skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which CeraVe cleanser is best for Keratosis Pilaris?
The SA Smoothing Cleanser is the gold standard for this. The Salicylic Acid helps break down the keratin plugs that cause small bumps, while the Ceramides help restore the skin's barrier.
Can I use the Blemish Control Cleanser every day?
Yes. While it contains Salicylic Acid to target blemishes, it is balanced with Ceramides to ensure it doesn't over-dry the skin. It is formulated to be gentle enough for daily use on blemish-prone skin.
Is the Hydrating Oil Cleanser greasy?
Not at all. It is a "Foaming Oil"—it applies like a nourishing oil but rinses off as a clean, light foam. It leaves no oily film on the skin or the shower floor.
