Hydrating Cleanser

Cream Cleanser

Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser is a unique formula that cleanses, hydrates and helps restore the protective skin barrier with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II). The formula also contains hyaluronic acid to help retain skin’s natural moisture. This non-foaming facial cleanser is an effective yet non-irritating way to start any skincare regimen for normal to dry skin – and it's also suitable for sensitive skin. Featuring MVE Delivery Technology, this patented system continually releases moisturizing ingredients for 24-hour hydration. It is non-comedogenic, non-drying, and fragrance-free.

Oriva Scientific Assessment

This cleanser works by gently removing dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping the skin's natural moisture. Its key ingredients, three essential ceramides, help to restore and maintain the skin's protective barrier, while hyaluronic acid attracts and retains hydration. The patented MVE Delivery Technology ensures a continuous release of moisturizing ingredients for long-lasting hydration.

Target User: Individuals with normal to dry, sensitive, or compromised skin barriers. It's also ideal for those using strong active ingredients that can cause dryness or irritation, as it provides a gentle, hydrating cleanse.

Avoid If: While generally suitable for all skin types, those with extremely oily skin who prefer a strong foaming or mattifying cleanser might find its gentle, non-foaming texture less satisfying, though it will not harm their skin.
