So, so gentle!

I recently had a procedure done on my face and my dermatologist gave me this product to use, while it was healing. My skin is oily with clogged pores, so I wouldn't suggest this product for that type of skin (it's too gentle to purge pores, etc.), but for what I needed it to do, cleanse without irritating or drying, it absolutely does the job! I imagine if I had sensitive, dry or flaky skin, I wou...read moreld use this as my "go to" cleanser. Additionally, I have also tried Cetaphil and I prefer CeraVe; the texture is nicer and if you flip the bottle over and review the ingredients, CeraVe has a lot less ingredients but still does the job. It does exactly what it was designed to do!

Perfect for sensitive skin

This is an excellent cleanser for dry, sensitive skin. It cleans and rinses thoroughly and is fragrance-free (no noticable scent either). It makes the skin feel clean but not tight. It is reasonably priced. It could contain some antioxidants and do a better job at removing makeup, but again a great choice for sensitive, irritated, or allergy prone skin.

The only time I use this is after an in-office treatment

I got this cleanser as a sample from my dermatologist's office to use post-procedure. That is the only time I will use it. It's very gentle, but doesn't feel like it really cleans my skin. Once I make it past the sensitive skin stage post treatment I go straight back to Clinique. The CeraVe cleanser serves a purpose but it's definitly not one of my favorites.

not too drying

This cleanser is not drying like others tend to be. I haven't tried removing heavy makeup with it, as I prefer to use jojoba oil for eye makeup (way less harsh) and don't wear anything beyond tinted moisturizer. I do like how it doesn't leave my face dry.

Didn't work for me

I wanted something to take my makeup off with and to clean my face in the morning with that wasn't so stripping. This wasn't it. The price is high where I live. $13 for a bottle of it. It is not a foaming cleanser like I thought it would be. It is a gel like the cetaphil gentle daily cleanser. This worked horribly at removing my makeup at night. It didn't even break down my regular mascara or conc...read moreealer. And it still somehow managed to dry out my oily skin. I love the packaging but, sadly, I ended up returning the product. Maybe I will try their foaming facial cleanser in the future and that will work better for me. This was a fail.

effectively

I've been using this cleanser for a few weeks now, and I can already see a noticeable improvement in my skin's texture and clarity.
