Changes to their Formula are Harsh
I purchased a second bottle of this cleanser in November after using previously with no issues. The new bottle causes severe irritation all over my face. Extreme redness and swelling of my eyelids and under eyes and a rash all over the rest of my face, neck and ears. Something has changed with the formula, because the previous bottle of this wash caused absolutely no ir...

Slightly drying
This is a decent cleanser for the price. the ingredients are pretty good and it does leave my face feeling clean. I will say it is a little drying so make sure you moisturize after. Cerave products have always worked well with my skin and help keep it clear.

One-Line Summary: An effective, fragrance-free exf
Overall, my experience with this cleanser has been excellent due to its high level of effectiveness in smoothing out my skin without being harsh. The product has a gel form that is clear and offers a pleasant experience due to its lather. The product also has a very neutral smell, which is important to me, and makes me feel like my face has been deeply cleaned.

Gentle cleanser and exfoliation by ceraVe
It’s exactly as the bottle says…this is a gentle cleanser that’s non-comedogenic non-drying (honestly doesn’t dry my face) and non-irritating. It’s inexpensive. It has salicylic acid so it also helps prevent acne by exfoliating and no fragrance which I prefer so it’s less chemicals added

Best makeup remover
A beautiful cleanser that is gel/liquid, but foams upon application with water. It has minimal scent, and is in a simple pump bottle for easy use and storage.
This product is the best for your cleanse when removing makeup and sunscreens. A little goes a long way and it is not irritating or super drying.

Bought this cleanser to help with some of the acne I have. It’s thick and lathers very well. There is no color or scent to it. I bought this bottle at the store for a decent price. I thought it was a good value. Over all I have been pretty happy with it.

Very good for my skin
I started using the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser because I was dealing with mild breakouts and some texture on my skin. The cleanser has a lightweight feel, creates a nice lather, and doesn’t strip my skin or leave it feeling tight. After about two weeks of consistent use, I noticed smoother skin, fewer clogged pores, and reduced breakouts. I also like that it contains s...

My Go-To Cleanser
This is one of my go-to face cleansers. While it's touted as being for normal skin. I have dry skin and it works well. It's not irritating and non-drying to my skin. It has 3 essential ceramides, vitamin D, niacinamide and salicylic acid. It gently exfoliates while softening and smoothing the skin, which, at times, is exactly what I need. I also appreciate that it's fr...

Excellent for smoothing texture and removing black
I've been using this CeraVe cleanser for a couple of weeks now and the difference in my skin's texture is noticeable What I like most is that it contains salicylic acid, which helps a lot with pimples and clogged pores, but because it also has ceramides,It doesn't leave that feeling of "tight skin" or dryness after washing.I like the durability.

Good Product, Not GREAT
This product definitely helps with skin texture and redness. It does make the skin feel a bit dry and tight after use though, so if you have acne prone skin this may be a bit too drying! The wash does lather great and definitely works! Just not amazing for my skin type.

Great help for oily skin
Great cleaner for oily, acne prone skin. I use it not every day, but before my period and 1-2 a week ias this cleanser is super effective and may cause irritating due to high percentage of salicylic acid. It has clear gel texture and it will last me forever.

Doesn’t cause breakouts
For years I used Clean and Clear but they changed the formula and it made me break out. I tried this based on a video stating to use on KP as well. It works well for my face but haven’t noticed a change in the KP.

Definitely not for really sensitive oily skin
I started using this cleanser about a year ago because my skin started to get more bumpy and produce oil. I didn’t think much about the active ingredient which is salicylic acid in this cleanser according to my research. I had high hopes for this but once I started using it I broke out so bad around my cheeks and chin. I thought maybe it was skin purging so I used it fo...
