Our verdict

A dermatologist-developed foaming wash built for oil control that still leans on hyaluronic acid and ceramides to avoid over-drying.

Overview

A 16 fl oz CeraVe foaming facial cleanser aimed at normal to oily skin, dispensed as a clear gel that lathers into foam and formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and three ceramides for daily oil control.

This is CeraVe's oily-skin counterpart to its cream cleanser line: it dispenses clear and turns to foam on contact with water, which is the format most associated with removing excess oil rather than adding moisture. The ceramide and hyaluronic acid combination is included specifically so the oil-controlling foam does not leave skin feeling tight or stripped afterward.

  • 16 fl oz foaming cleanser for normal to oily skin
  • Gel-to-foam lather on contact with water
  • Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide formula
  • Three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II)

Who it's for

Best suited to normal to oily skin looking for a daily face wash that removes shine and makeup without the heavier feel of a cream cleanser. Drier skin types are likely better served by CeraVe's non-foaming hydrating cleanser instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Foaming format suited to oily and normal skin
  • Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide included despite the oil-control focus
  • Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic
  • Can be used on face, body, or as a hand wash
Cons
  • Not intended for dry or dehydrated skin types
  • No user review data available for this listing

Performance notes

The gel-to-foam mechanism is designed to lift excess oil, dirt and makeup more thoroughly than a cream formula, which is the tradeoff oily skin typically wants from a wash. Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide are included to offset the drying tendency foaming cleansers can have, while the three ceramides work to keep the skin barrier intact through daily use.
