CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for Normal to Dry Skin

CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is a gentle, non-foaming facial cleanser developed for normal to dry skin. Its creamy lotion texture removes dirt, excess oil and everyday impurities without leaving the skin feeling tight, dry or stripped.

Developed with dermatologists, the formula combines three essential ceramides with hyaluronic acid and glycerin to cleanse while helping the skin retain moisture and maintain its natural protective barrier. It is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and suitable for daily use.

Why you’ll love it

• Gently removes dirt, excess oil and everyday impurities
• Cleanses without leaving skin feeling tight or dry

Best for

Ideal if you want:

• A gentle daily cleanser for normal or dry skin
• A non-foaming alternative to traditional face washes
• A cleanser for skin that feels tight after washing
• Support for dehydrated or moisture-depleted skin
• A fragrance-free cleanser for a simple routine
• A cleanser that removes everyday dirt without over-stripping

Consider another option if: you have very oily skin and prefer a more refreshing foaming cleanse, or you need a cleanser designed to remove heavy or waterproof makeup in one step.
