Overview

A 16 oz CeraVe cream cleanser formulated with hyaluronic acid, glycerin and three ceramides, made as a non-foaming, lotion-textured face wash for dry skin and certified by the National Eczema Association.

Rather than foaming or stripping, this cleanser has a lotion-like consistency that CeraVe describes as staying smooth on sensitive, dry skin through the wash itself. The National Eczema Association certification signals it has been evaluated for use on eczema-prone skin specifically, which sets it apart from cleansers aimed at oily or combination skin.

  • 16 oz cream cleanser, non-foaming, lotion-like texture
  • Hyaluronic acid, glycerin and three ceramides
  • National Eczema Association certified
  • Fragrance-free, paraben-free, non-comedogenic

Who it's for

Best suited to normal to dry skin, including people managing eczema or general dryness who want a gentle daily wash that will not compound tightness. It is not built for oily or acne-prone skin looking for oil control, since it is explicitly non-foaming and moisture-focused.

Pros and cons

Pros

Performance notes

Hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides are combined into a cream base that cleanses without lathering, which is meant to remove makeup, dirt and oil while providing 24-hour hydration rather than stripping it. The ceramides are aimed at maintaining the skin barrier through repeated daily washing, which is where dry skin often loses moisture over time.
