Foaming Facial Cleanser

Broke them out, worse than any other CeraVe product.

“every cerave product I’ve tried has broken me out, that face wash especially.”

Dried their skin out badly, so they switched.

“Yeah the foaming cleanser dried my skin out bad.”

Their skin didn’t like it, so they switched cleansers.

“My skin doesn’t like Cera Ve foaming facial cleanser.”

The foaming CeraVe cleanser doesn't strip, removes all makeup and doesn't sting the eyes.

“It won’t strip and it gets every bit of makeup off and doesn’t even sting the eyes.”

On sensitive combination skin, the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser works great.

“I have a foaming cleanser by Cerave for combination skin which work great.”

Dried out their acne-prone skin far too much.

“I tried cera ve foaming cleanser and it dried out my skin wayyyy too much.”

It and a CeraVe moisturiser left them with clogged bumps that cleared after switching.

“I had the same issue with CeraVe (foaming facial cleanser and moisturizer)”

After a decade of use their cheeks and neck are full of clogged pores and closed comedones.

“I've been using Cerave foaming face cleanser and daily moisturizing lotion for over a decade now. It's clearly not working for me anymore”

On oily sensitive skin it has helped a lot with texture.

“Try using the cerave foaming one if u have oily sensitive skin, its helped alot especially with my texture it doesnt pop out as much anymore”

Calms their flushing skin and doesn't cause spots.

“I personally switched to CeraVe foaming cleanser (wash) and whenever my skin is flushing I use that and it calms it down. It doesn't cause me spots either.”

One week of use gave them comedones on the chin.

“I used the green CeraVe cleanser for normal to oily skin for one week and it gave me comedones on my chin.”

Stripped their oils, leaving skin feeling like sandpaper.

“I tried the turquoise one that also gets foamy but it stripped me out of my oils a lil too much”

Caused very dry skin around their eyes.

“So I started using the Creva Foaming facial cleanser for normal to oily skin And developed really bad dry skin around my eyelids and eyes.”

Calls it their favorite under-$10 product: super gentle, fragrance-free and long-lasting.

“Mine is definitely the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser. Super gentle, no fragrance, and it lasts forever.”

Eyes stung and became itchy and swollen.

“I have had the exact same reaction to CeraVe foaming facial cleanser. Eye stinging, itchy, and swollen after using this product.”

Keeps going back to it after trying pricier combos with the Clinique balm.

“I pair it with the CeraVe foaming facial cleanser. I’ve tried other combos over the years - typically more expensive, but I just keep going back to this”

With combination, acne-prone skin they find it very drying and burning.

“I have combo skin w acne. Currently using the foaming cleanser. Very drying and burns”

The foaming cleanser took a while to feel good on their face but eventually did.

“The Foaming Cleanser took a while to feel good on my face but it did”

Tried it and broke out, so they had to stop using it.

“I also did try the Cerave foaming facial cleanser but boy it did no good on my skin i had a breakout and had to stop using it”

Really likes it as a cult favorite that works into makeup removal as long as they wash twice.

“obviously it's nothing new, but a cult fav for a reason! I really like it and find it easy to work into my makeup - again as long as I follow up with that second wash.”

Found the standard foaming cleanser too drying while on tretinoin.

“Unfortunately the standard Foaming cleanser was too drying as I’m on tret”

Too harsh for them; the hydrating cleanser was a bit better.

“The foaming cleanser from Cerave was too harsh for me, I switched to the hydrating cleanser and it was a bit better”

Dried their skin badly and made their moisturizer burn until they switched to La Roche-Posay.

“The CeraVe foaming cleanser dried out my skin SO bad, and caused my moisturizer to burn.”

Had to switch away because their face was peeling and flaking.

“I also had to switch away from that one because my face was peeling and flaking.”

Got huge pimples all over the cheeks after using it and went back to the moisturizing cleanser.

“i used cerave foaming cleanser and this SAME thing happened to me. i had huge pimples ALL over my cheeks.. and my skin was NOT like that before”

Started breaking out after buying it, thinking it would be gentle.

“Around that time I had decide to buy cerave foaming facial cleanser because I thought it would be gentle on my skin. But then I started breaking out”

It made them break out badly and left closed comedones.

“That cleanser in specific made me break out so bad, im still trying to clear out the closed comedones from that”

Of three CeraVe cleansers, the foaming one was the best but still a little too stripping.

“the foaming one is the best so far but is still a little too stripping”

Their sensitive skin did not like CeraVe's foaming cleanser.

“My skin is usually quite sensitive and did not like cerave’s foaming cleanser”

Breaks them out, unlike CeraVe's cream-to-foam cleanser.

“The salicylic acid wash and foaming facial cleanser break me out, BUT their cream to foam cleanser doesn’t.”

Stopped using it after the foaming cleanser left skin stinging with daily use, like the hydrating one.

“I swore off using CeraVe cleansers after both the Hydrating and Foaming variants left my skin stinging from daily use”

The foaming wash with the hydrating lotion broke them out for months.

“Ive tried cerave foaming wash last year with the hydrating lotion it broke me out”

The foaming one made their face super irritated and peely, the only thing they'd changed.

“I tried the Foaming because I saw so many good things about it and already loved the Hydrating, but it made my face super irritated and peel-y”

Loves the normal-to-oily Foaming Cleanser.

“I love the normal-oily skin cleanser, the SA cleanser and the moisturizer”

Used it a long time before realizing it was too drying.

“For a long time I used the Cerave foaming cleanser, but eventually realized it was too drying.”

Gave them an allergic reaction for a month.

“for the last month I've experienced a moderate but extremely bothersome allergic reaction to the Cerave foaming facial cleanser.”

Found the regular Foaming Cleanser too drying.

“I’ve used the regular foaming cleanser and found it was too drying”

Says the foaming cleanser caused little red bumps (and the hydrating one caused closed comedones).

“I hated the hydrating one because it caused closed comedones and the foaming one caused little red bumps”

Worked better for them than the SA cleanser.

“I had better luck with the Cerave Foaming cleanser.”

Likes it, but it dries their upper-lip area.

“I do like CeraVe foaming but it's makes my mustache area dry”

Very gentle on oily, sensitive skin and doesn't strip it.

“I use their Foaming Facial Cleanser. I love it. I have fairly oily and sensitive skin and I find it to be very gentle.”

Two weeks in, their acne and skin are less clear than before.

“I have been using Cerave’s foaming cleanser for about 2 weeks now but my acne and skin isn’t as clear as it was before”

Stripped their skin and left it dehydrated.

“I think their foaming cleanser is bad because its foaming surfactants strip the skin of oil, which caused me, and many other people, to end up with dehydrated skin.”

From their own use: terrible for their skin.

“both the foaming & hydrating cleaners were t e r r i b l e”

Helped breakouts and texture; less oily now.

“I use the foaming facial cleanser and the Am/PM moisturizers. I love all three of them. It's helped with my breakouts, texture and I'm noticing I don't get as oily anymore.”

Doesn't dry them out; face feels soft afterwards.

“I love this cleanser. It doesn’t dry me out and my face feels soft and supple afterwards.”

Gave them pimples and duller skin.

“I know everyone raves about this cleanser, but I started getting pimples and noticed my skin started looking duller than normal.”

Found the foaming cleanser dried their skin and broke them out.

“Cerave Foaming cleanser dried me up and broke me out”

Loved the foaming cleanser at first before Accutane dried their skin and they moved to the hydrating one.

“I started using the foaming cleanser in the beginning and loved it”

Works better than the hydrating cleanser on combo/dry skin.

“Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser (supposed to be for oily skin but this works better than the hydrating cleanser for me)”

Felt slightly drying for them.

“I used to use Cerave Foaming and also tried the Pure foaming cleanser but they seemed slightly drying.”

Pretty pleased with it after switching from the hydrating cleanser.

“I tried the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser but saw a small increase in closed comedones. Switched to the Foaming Cleanser, which I'm pretty pleased with.”
