CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Facial Cleanser — 19 fl oz for Normal to Dry Skin, Hyaluronic Acid & Ceramides

CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser is a one-step, dermatologist-developed face wash that starts as a cream, transforms into a soft foam, removes makeup and grime, and helps replenish moisture for normal to dry skin.

This fragrance-free, non-comedogenic cleanser combines three essential ceramides with hyaluronic acid, amino acids and CeraVe's patented MVE delivery system to cleanse without stripping the skin. The formula is designed to lift away dirt, oil, and long-wear makeup while supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making it suitable for sensitive and dry complexions.

How does the cream-to-foam texture work on dry, sensitive skin?

The cleanser dispenses as a rich, lotion-like cream that converts into a soft foam once mixed with water and massaged on the face. That texture change allows effective cleansing while preserving surface moisture and avoiding tightness after rinsing.

• Starts creamy for gentle application; foams for deeper pore cleansing
• Non-drying surfactants that remove oil and makeup without harsh stripping
• Soap-free and fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk
• pH-balanced to remain compatible with skin’s natural acidity

Will it remove makeup and sunscreen effectively?

Yes — the formula is engineered to break down everyday makeup and sunscreen residues while rinsing clean. It removes light-to-medium makeup and daily SPF without requiring a second, harsher cleanser.

• Works on water-resistant sunscreen and many long-wear foundations
• Lifts oils and grime so they rinse away with water
• Gentle around the eye area when used with care
• Non-comedogenic so pores are less likely to become clogged afterward

Which active ingredients help hydrate and protect the skin barrier?

The formula blends three ceramides found naturally in skin with hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and MVE Technology to support hydration and barrier repair. These components help attract and retain moisture and release moisturizing agents over time for sustained benefit.

• Ceramides 1, 3, 6-II to help restore and maintain the lipid barrier
• Hyaluronic acid draws water to the skin’s surface for immediate hydration
• Amino acids support the skin’s natural moisturizing factors (NMF)
• MVE delivery system provides extended release of moisturizers for lasting hydration

How should I add this cleanser into my daily routine?

Use morning and evening as a standalone face wash or as the first step in a multi-step regimen. Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage until it foams, then rinse thoroughly and follow with targeted treatments or moisturizers.

• Dispense a dollop onto wet hands, lather, and massage across face
• Rinse with lukewarm water and pat skin dry gently
• Follow with serums and a moisturizer that complement ceramides and hyaluronic acid
• Suitable for daily use on sensitive, normal-to-dry skin types

Who this product is for: For anyone with normal to dry or sensitive skin seeking an effective, non-irritating daily cleanser that removes makeup and sunscreen without depleting moisture. It's a practical choice for people who prefer dermatologist-developed, fragrance-free formulas that support the skin barrier and deliver sustained hydration throughout the day.
