CeraVe earns strong reviews as a gentle, dermatologist-recommended line that effectively hydrates, calms acne, and supports sensitive skin—especially through staples like the Hydrating Cleanser, Foaming Facial Cleanser, Moisturizing Cream, AM/PM Facial Moisturizing Lotions, and Healing Ointment. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some moisturizers feel heavy or cause breakouts, certain cleansers can be drying or under-cleanse, SPFs can irritate or feel oily, and concerns arise over non–cruelty-free status and perceived harsh or endocrine-disrupting filters in some sunscreens.

CeraVe Moisturising Cream is a staple in my routine — thick, non-irritating, and actually works for dry patches 💧. I love that it’s fragrance-free and packed with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which makes it feel super repairing. It’s a bit heavy for daytime under makeup, but perfect for night or post-shower full-body hydration 🧴.

CeraVe Eye Repair Cream is richer and perfect for deep hydration, especially at night or when my under eyes feel dry. Both are gentle, non-irritating, and honestly a great combo for day and night care. 🐌💧

A reliable everyday moisturizer that deeply hydrates and repairs the skin barrier, especially great for dry to very dry skin. 💧 It’s lightweight, fragrance-free, and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. However, if you prefer rich creams or have extremely flaky skin, this might feel a bit too light.

El limpiador espumoso de CeraVe es perfecto para piel mixta a grasa. Limpia profundamente sin resecar ni irritar, gracias a sus ceramidas, niacinamida y ácido hialurónico. Es suave, sin fragancia, y lo he usado hasta el último gota 💚🫧

This is a lifesaver for dry and sensitive skin—super gentle and deeply hydrating. It has ceramides and hyaluronic acid, so it really helps repair the skin barrier. I use it on both face and body, especially after the shower.

CeraVe’s products are such a hit or miss for me. For instance, the moisturizer in the picture I included was pretty awful and I only used on my body. But their cleansers are pretty decent, and tolerable!

CeraVe’s Foaming Facial Cleanser has been a go-to for my oily skin. It lathers nicely, gets rid of excess oil without over-drying, and just leaves my face feeling clean—not tight or irritated. I like that it has ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide, so it feels gentle while still being effective. I’ve tried a bunch of cleansers that either stripped my skin or didn’t do enough, but this one strikes a good balance. Nothing fancy, just reliable and solid for everyday use.

This isn't the prettiest or fanciest product line out there - not by a long shot - but they definitely do make a wide range of truly effective products at a very reasonable price point. They have everything from basic cleansers and moisturizers through to special lines just for specific conditions or needs - even including some truly hard-core serious moisturizers for the driest skin conditions, and they actually work. Honestly, I often even find myself just falling back on the basics, and not only because their other products are so in demand as to often be hard to find on the shelf. Hey, when you're on a budget, you get what you can that you know will do the job you're needing done to an acceptable standard without breaking the bank. And, there are few brands out there truly more reliable across the board with their products doing the job that was promised.

This cleanser has been a solid go-to for me. It starts off creamy, then turns into a light foam that actually feels like it’s cleaning your skin without stripping it. My face never feels tight or dry after using it, which is rare for a foaming cleanser. It removes makeup and impurities really well, and it’s gentle enough to use morning and night. I have combination skin, and this keeps things balanced without causing breakouts or irritation. It’s simple, affordable, and does exactly what I need it to do. Definitely one of those dependable products I always end up repurchasing.


Just know your skin type and u can get the perfect cleanser and more from Cerave They are not harshly and also good for skincare starter

Body moisture cream is really good, I recommend. The cleanser for dries skin was not to my liking it could do more improvement example, more cleansing your skin. Also, the day and night cream they could do more improvement about the moisture and targeting more for the skin

I am a huge fan of CeraVe products! I have used five of their products and constantly repurchased 4 of them. The Hydrating Facial Cleanser feels like butter going onto your skin and works so well at cleaning and preventing breakouts. I love to use the Moisturizing cream all over my body and I love that it isn't too oily. The same goes for the AM and PM creams, I love that they do not feel oily on my skin and the sunscreen doesn't leave a white cast on my brown skin. I have tried their undereye cream but I think using the normal lotion has the same effect. Overall I love the simplicity and affordability of these products and definitely recommend them.

I been using this face wash for so long and I have not used anything since I started buying this. It’s my go to. I like gentle it is on my skin and it doesn’t dry my skin out. I use it when I double cleanse taking off my makeup. I like that it’s affordable and I can always find it at target and / or Walmart.

I really liked it - it is very soft and leaves the skin hydrated.I just thought it takes a while to form foam, so it seems that cleaning takes longer.But overall, it's a good product, especially for those with sensitive skin.

I absolutely love Cerave products. A couple years back my skin was going through a period where I was getting really bad adult acne around my cheeks and chin area, and I was worried about trying anything for acne as my skin is very sensitive. But someone recommended adding the the Cerave Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser into my facial routine along with their Foaming Hydrating Cleanser, and those two items together really helped my skin get back to where it was before. Initially, I was using the acne cleanser, just a couple times a week just to make sure that it would not be too strong for my skin and then I was double cleansing with the foaming hydrating cleanser. But after maybe a month or two, I started using the acne cleanser every day and within less than a month the majority of my acne started to calm down, and I was not getting the breakouts like I had been. Cerave was a total game changer for my skin and I continue to use it.

I've been using both the CeraVe AM and PM Facial Moisturizing Lotions for a while now, and I love how they complement each other. The AM version is perfect for daily use with SPF 30, so I can moisturize and protect my skin from the sun in one step. It doesn’t leave a white cast and feels lightweight. The PM version is great for nighttime—it hydrates deeply without feeling greasy, and I wake up with soft, calm skin. Both have niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, which my skin loves, and they're fragrance-free and oil-free, which is perfect for my sensitive skin. Definitely a duo worth trying!

I had used CeraVe Salicylic acid Facial Cleanser and at first it worked but then it start breaking me out. And I don't like the texture of the Salicylic Moisturizing Cream, it's so thick.

I have used this moisturizer for years and was recommended by my dermatologist. I have combination skin and used a lot of different products that irritated my skin. This is always in my bathroom!

CeraVe has been a game-changer for me. Last year, I visited my doctor because of persistent itchiness on my face. She recommended the CeraVe Moisturizer, and it has made a world of difference. I love it because it's fragrance-free and gentle, making it perfect for my sensitive skin. Now, it's not just me—our whole family uses CeraVe. It become our go-to for skincare. We've all noticed how much healthier and more hydrated our skin feels. CeraVe has truly become a staple in our daily routine!

I have the CERAVE cleanser, it is a super smooth amazing formula that has really cleared up my skin. I suffered with dry and pimple prone skin but it has changed my skin for the better! My skin now is way more nourished and hydrated as well as super clear. It really is worth the money and it is a great cleanser for everyday face washing to taking off makeup.
