I have dry skin/combo skin that is also acne prone so I don't want cleansers that are too stripping but I also want something that feels like it's cleaning. I enjoy cleansers that lather more. That said, I feel this cleanser has a good balance of creaminess for dryness and foaming/gentle actives for cleanse. Makes a good second cleanser in my routine.
I think it could be even better without the salicylic acid. I don't think it's necessary for this formula and would prefer to use this in other products than cleansers
PLEASE NOTE: I have seen some reviews confusing this with the hydrating cleanser-they have really different feels (or. Hydrating cleanser barely lathers if at all, best for very sensitive/dry skin or eczema prone) so I don't recommend confusing these two! If you see this in reviews you can tell the difference because the cream to foam looks more opaque like a lotion-the hydrating appears more like a gel

I love this product! I wanted a gentle fragrance free and non comegenic cleanser for my skin, which is combination but also sensitive and acne prone with occasional dry patches. This helped my acne so much and since ive been using it ( about 3 months) ive noticed a huge difference in my skin. Its way less red and my acne has cleared up a lot more which you can see from the pictires! It also lasts a really long time, im still on my first bottle and use it every morning an night.
The only bad thing i could say about it is that sometimes my t zone feels a bit dry/ tight after cleansing but after using moisturiser it feels fine.

Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser- this is my HOLYGRAIL cleanser now.
- It cleans my skin without disrupting my skin barrier. So so so goood!
- It helps to hydrate the skin and also helps to clean the skin very effectively.
- It also contains ceramides, amino acids and Hyaluronic acid.
- It has a creamy texture that foams so beautifully and cleans my face completely. I just need one pump from this bottle and that is enough for my face and neck.
⚜️This product is also fragrance free which makes it perfect for people with sensitive skin types.
Highly Recommend ❤️
Love this for dry skin 🧡
This cleanser is not available in India and you have to get it through resellers that makes it very expensive.

This is my go to cleanser. The texture is creamy and almost like a moisturizer. I have dry skin and am prone to blackheads and minor breakouts so I appreciate that this contains both hyaluronic acid and salicylic acid. All CeraVe products contain 3 ceramides that help to replenish your skins natural barrier.
Nothing bad to say about this product.

My favourite of the wonderful @cerave cleansers!!
This Hydrating cream -to-foam cleanser removes dirt, oil, sunscreen, and claims to remove make-up and surprisingly it does 😍 (but I still double cleanse for sure)
Very gentle cleanser packed with:
🌿 3 essential ceramides: to lock in the moisture and restores the skin’s natural barrier
🌿 Hyaluronic Acid: retains skin’s natural moisture
🌿 Amino acids: supports skin’s natural moisturising factors, attracts & also retains moisture
🌿 It also includes Salicylic Acid, I don’t know why it’s there but yeah it is
About the texture, it starts off very creamy like the Hydrating Cleanser but then when it mixes with water, it lathers & foams up like the Foaming Cleanser, this cleanser is the perfect combo between all the Cerave cleansers 🤩, it’s so satisfying with its creamy texture to remove dirt and make-up but also finishes with a nice foam to give you that clean face feeling ( I don’t know how to describe it well, hope you get what I mean😆)
Even though it says that it’s for normal to dry skin, I feel like it’s suitable for all skin types ( mine is Combo to Dry) but if you really really have oily skin, I’d still recommend you go with the Foaming cleanser or a gel based cleanser.💙
I’m so happy I got my hands on this one, it really so good and I repurchased it multiple times ( this is my 4th bottle 😝) I’m so loyal to this cleanser, can’t see me living without it.
What’s you favourite cleanser?
Nothing bad about it

This is a really great cleanser for removing makeup. It leaves my skin fewlinf hydrated and refreshed. I like the way that it lathere io, and i like how it has pump packaging.
Its too drying for me to use in the morning. If you have drier skin id recommend the normal hydrating cleanser.

I have tried 2 cleansers from cerave and this is my favorite.
I love the creamy texture and how lightweight it is.
It says for normal to dry skin but I love it for my combo skin.
It helped my skin barrier and it does a good job of cleansing my skin without stripping it.
On the website it claims to effectively remove dirt, makeup and excess oils without stripping the skin. There was one night I was too lazy to double cleanse so I just cleansed once with this cleanser and it actually removed my sunscreen well, but I don't think it will do the same with makeup. Normally you just need 2 pumps for your entire face but if you want to remove makeup with this, you'll need a lot of pumps and that's just a waste. So, double cleanse at night to remove makeup, sunscreen and dirt effectively.
" It foams well.... Sometimes, don't know what that's about but I love how good it makes my skin feel after
Didn’t have any bad experience witb this product.

I personally bought this cleanser for my mother, but I had to test it myself and I ended up loving it.
This is my all time favourite CeraVe cleanser. My skin is combination to oily and even though this one is for dry skin, it is working wonderfully on me. It is super gentle, but also the foaming ability it amazing. It is also a great makeup remover and it is very gentle if you use it close to the eye area.
I have to say this one it the perfect combination between the hydrating cleanser and the foaming one from CeraVe.
Key ingredients helping with:
✨ Anti-acne
✨ Exfoliant
✨ Skin identical ingredients
✨ Sooting
✨ Antimicrobial
✨ Hydrating
Texture: Thick cream, very hydrating, but with a great foaming ability
Scent: None
Best for all skin types, maybe not the best for super oily skin
Personal experience:
✨ Hydrating, but not clogging my pores
✨ Great foaming ability
✨ Easy to wash off
✨ Not leaving the skin feeling tight
✨ Not leaving any oil residue on the skin
✨ Great make up remover
➖ The extreme skin types, such as very dry or very oily, may need to try more targeted cleansers
Nothing bad about this product, but there is a possibility it is too hydrating for super oily skin.

It foams quite well, it effectively removes make up and oils from the skin. I use it for my body and it is really moisturizing.
It made my skin break out so bad, it has a weird smell that I don't fancy.

I'm loving this cleanser! It has a creamy texture, which in contact with water becomes a foam,so it rinses off easily. It leaves the skin cleansed and hydrated, thanks to the ceramides it contains. It also removes makeup!
There is nothing bad about this product! If you have oily skin, you should choose the foaming cleanser of Cerave, instead of this.
