FAQs
Does this cleanser foam?
No, the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser has a non-foaming, creamy texture. This is intentional to ensure it cleanses gently without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, its gentle, non-irritating, and fragrance-free formula makes it highly suitable for sensitive skin, in addition to normal to dry skin types.
Can I use it to remove eye makeup?
It can remove light eye makeup, but for waterproof mascara or heavy eye makeup, a dedicated eye makeup remover is recommended to avoid excessive rubbing around the delicate eye area. Avoid direct contact with eyes, and rinse thoroughly if it gets into your eyes.
How often should I use this cleanser?
For best results, use the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening, as part of your regular skincare routine.
What are ceramides and hyaluronic acid?
Ceramides are lipids (fats) that naturally occur in the skin and are essential for maintaining the skin's barrier and retaining moisture. Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful humectant that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, helping to keep skin hydrated and plump.
Is this product fragrance-free?
Yes, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is formulated without fragrance, making it suitable for those sensitive to scents.
Troubleshooting
Skin feels tight or dry after use.
While this cleanser is hydrating, ensure you are not using excessively hot water to rinse, which can strip skin. Also, ensure you are not over-cleansing or scrubbing too vigorously. Follow up immediately with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
Not effectively removing all makeup.
This hydrating cleanser is gentle. For heavy makeup, especially waterproof mascara or long-wear foundation, consider a double-cleansing method. Use a dedicated oil-based cleanser or micellar water first to break down makeup, then follow with the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser.
Pump dispenser is stuck or not working.
Ensure the pump mechanism is fully twisted counter-clockwise to the 'open' position. If it's still stuck, try rinsing the pump head under warm water to clear any dried product. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Skin reaction or irritation.
Although formulated for sensitive skin, discontinue use if you experience persistent redness, itching, or irritation. Consult with a dermatologist if symptoms persist. Ensure the product is not expired.
