Choose the right CeraVe cleanser for your skin type and concerns
The first step in every skincare routine should be cleansing, it helps to remove makeup, product build-up, dirt, sebum and pollutants from your pores. It's important to choose the correct cleanser as over stripping the skin with harsh or drying ingredients can harm the skin's protective barrier and can create skin problems rather than address them. We've put together a simple guide that describes the four main skin types and the formulas that work best to take care of them.
Normal to Dry Skin
Skin that is normal to dry skin needs a cleanser that is both gentle and hydrating, we recommend CeraVe’s Hydrating Cleanser. This calming cleanser has been specially developed and is suitable for even the most delicate and sensitive skin that is prone to irritation and eczema. It contains hyaluronic acid to attract and hold moisture on the skin, as do all CeraVe products, as well as three essential ceramides to help protect the natural skin barrier (which is in charge of preventing harmful irritants). Use it every morning and night, then apply your regular serum and moisturiser.
Rough Bumpy Skin and Keratosis Piliaris
If you have rough, bumpy skin on your face and body you might need a cleanser that moisturises and exfoliates at the same time. CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser is enriched with exfoliating salicylic acid, three essential ceramides and hydrating hyaluronic acid. This cleanser can be used on skin suffering from Keratosis Piliaris and eliminates oil, grime, and makeup gently when applied morning and evening.
Dry Skin
For drier skin types, you need a cleanser that won't strip or damage the skin and it's natural barrier. CeraVe’s cream-to-foam cleanser has been formulated with an amino-acid surfactant, hyaluronic acid and three essential ceramides to effectively remove makeup and dirt while attracting and retaining moisture and protecting the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Combination and Oily Skin
Combination skin types are more prone to irritation, blemishes and imperfections so they require a cleanser that soaks up oil without drying the skin out. CeraVe’s Foaming Cleanser is recommended by Dermatologists as it calms the skin with vitamin B3 Niacinamide with a refreshing foam action.
