Best for: Normal to oily skin, including sensitive skin, that needs gentle daily cleansing to remove excess oil, dirt and makeup without disrupting the skin’s protective barrier or leaving skin feeling tight and dry.

What is CeraVe Foaming Cleanser?

CeraVe Foaming Cleanser is a gentle foaming gel cleanser for normal to oily skin, designed to deeply cleanse and remove excess oil, dirt and makeup while helping maintain the skin’s protective barrier.

Developed with dermatologists, the refreshing formula contains three essential ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide. Ceramides help maintain the skin’s natural barrier, Hyaluronic Acid helps retain the skin’s natural moisture and Niacinamide helps calm the skin.

The cleanser is non-comedogenic, non-irritating and fragrance-free, and is designed to cleanse effectively without over-stripping the skin or leaving it feeling tight and dry.

What problem does it solve?

Normal to oily skin needs effective cleansing to remove excess oil, dirt and makeup, but cleansing too aggressively can leave skin feeling stripped, tight or dry.

CeraVe Foaming Cleanser is designed to balance those needs by deeply cleansing and removing excess oil while helping maintain the skin’s protective barrier and natural moisture.

A simple way to think about it is:

Normal to oily skin + excess oil, dirt and makeup → gentle foaming cleanse → refreshed, clean skin without over-stripping the protective barrier.
