In the past, my face looked dull. However, I managed to achieve radiant skin, free from pimples and dark spots, by adopting these practices. -: 1. Ensuring I drink at least 3 to 4 liters of water every day. 2. Eating carrots or drinking carrot juice every day. 3. Applying Littlextra Ricebery face wash daily. It's made from black rice water, which offers 10 times more benefits for the skin compared to normal white rice water. 4. Going to the gym and sweating like anything. 5. Giving Steam to my face or entire body once every 20 days.
I was searching for a facewash that does not make my skin dry, yet removes dirt from my skin... This litttlextra riceberrry is the one... It cleans away impurities and maintains moisture... Except, it doesn't produce a lot of foam while applying.
Olivia D no need to get offended haha. Just stated some information. The original poster probably wants a cleansing balm for the reason that you don’t need to use a cotton pad. Unless you use reusable ones they’re not great for the environment. I wasn’t even being rude in my comment but now I’m actually annoyed because the tone of your comment clearly is
i just want a cleansing balm because i feel like they would make a cheaper version of clinique take the day off cleansing balm but with ceramides and it would be a win win for the world
I about fell down with the myths video where she’s like skincare doesn’t matter... as much as other choices. Like way to be a beacon of light with my skin but also it doesn’t matter 😂😅 excellent point but yeah, WOW!
I randomly ran into this channel and I am impressed with the content, quality and details. The comments of the followers are also very helpful. I am learning so much and wanted to thank Dr Dray for her work, delivery and attention to details. Sense of humor and kindness are very important these days especially :) Thank you and have a happy hump day!
They are cleansers, what she means is they're not meant to be used around the eyes so they can't truly "cleanse" your entire face (for removing eye makeup, sunscreen around your eyes, in a double cleanse, etc.) They are still cleansers, and have surfactants to remove oil and dirt so they will clean the parts of your face you use it on. The SA cleanser is almost identical to their foaming facial cleanser except it has the active ingredient of salicylic acid. You can also leave them on the face for a few minutes to get added benefits from the active ingredients (either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.) If they were not cleansers they would be marketed as masks. You can also use both as body washes.
hallyuniverse Thank you for clarifying! I have been using CeraVe’s BP cleanser as my daily cleanser, and my skin always feels clean, so I was very confused about that.
I've tried the hydrating cleanser and the foaming and didn't like either, the hydrating felt like it doesn't clean my slightly oily skin but the foaming is too stripping and makes my skin tight. This cleanser is PERFECT! Cleans my skin and leaves it feeling normal not dirty not dry. I also love using it as body wash so now I save space by using this for everything but hair wish I could use it for that too lol.
i really like this cleanser in my double cleanse system. i’ve tried the foaming one from cerave and it broke me out in small tiny red bumps and the hydrating one was really nice but i didn’t feel like it was cleaning my skin properly. But this has been an amazing middle ground between those two cleansers I get the clean feeling of the foaming and the hydrating portion of the hydrating cleanser :)
Don't really understand people who feel like throwing other people under the bus or ironically reffering to them for no reason. Those "beauty gurus" are actually really helpful in their way. There is no such thing as "the go to youtuber for info", especially on more serious topics such as skin, health, etc. You should ALWAYS have different sources of info and don't take anything you hear on youtube as an absolute truth.
@@roscaandrei4913 good points. However, there are those that tout themselves as experts in the field when in fact they aren't. Nothing wrong with being the average consumer or retailer; it's just deceiving and people tend to have buyers remorse when they had a certain trust between themselves and the "beauty guru/specialist" etc. You are right in that there is a place for everyone, I just believe that transparency goes a long way in keeping things good between the advisor and consumer, so that people know what to expect and how much to take from what they're suggested. That's why disclaimers are important.
Omg the cerave packages all look the same to me (of course, some are blue, some are green, the words are different...), but I'm always picking up the wrong product haha! Thank you for talking about this!!!
If I plan to repurchase a product, I either take a picture of it or I look it up online and grab a screenshot. I have a dedicated folder for it on my phone, so it's easy to reference. No more confusion! I do the same with ingredient lists for recipes, btw.
Yes! Thanks Dr Dray, hope your week is going well. So my takeaway is that this cleanser is supposed to be a blend of the Hydrating, Foaming, and SA Cleansers. It starts as a cream and then foams. It does contain SA. Lastly, it did not remove mascara with one wash (without oil cleansing).
I would not expect a cleanser to remove waterproof mascara, which is why I hate water proof mascara. I would expect that an actual makeup remover or oil cleanser would have to be used on water proof mascara. Has anyone tried this new cleanser on non-water proof mascara ?
@@kathleenroderick6833 I'm not sure, if that's even a good idea. I would not let a cleanser with SA anywhere near my eyes, personally. Now granted, my eyes are extremely sensitive, but still...SA is irritating. And most products with SA explicitly state, to not use it near your eyes. I'd recommend using a product with SA in the morning and only applying it, where it's needed and doing a double cleanse with a different cleanser at night, to remove make up.
@@raraavis7782 Thank you - I didn't even think about the SA in this new cleanser but you're right ! I really like your suggestion to spot-use an sa cleanser in the am and do a double cleanse at night. Will do !
@@kathleenroderick6833 I know this is a bit late but in the video she uses the cleanser to try remove non waterproof mascara, I’d assume cleansing oils would work better tho!
It would be so nice that you´d analized more PURITO Products. I think you'll love the Dermide Cica Barrier Sleeping Pack and maybe the Sea Buckthorn Vital 70 Cream. No fragances!!!! I´m a big fan of the Centella Green Level Unscented Sun SPF50+ PA++++. I use it and reapply it every single day, I'm such a good pupil!! hahaha
I started using Cerave SA Cleanser after Dr. Dray suggested it and I LOVE it. I’ve gotten my mom to use it as well and she loves it too. I guess every one of her 1M followers are using it too because I can’t find it anywhere anymore. Amazon Target Walmart Ulta Sephora You name it they’re out of stock.
Doesn’t look like Target carries it yet unless it’s in-store only. I really wish CeraVe would put out both a full-sized and travel version of new products so that we can see if it works for our skin first since others have commented that some of the other CeraVe products have created a burning sensation for them.
In my opinion, the make up remover property, you may use it on your dry skin to let emollient and oil do their job and then go under shower to transform it into leather foam, let it wash out.
literally just bought it yesterday! it definitely doesn’t replace a double cleanse, but i didn’t trust that it would and started with some albolene anyway! my favorite of the facial cleansers so far ❤️ i second the cerave cleansing oil/balm idea!
jamjamxo I used to use albolene but had to wipe off my makeup still. I’m obsessed w haba lado cleansing oil. Have you tried it? It is amazing. For the first time I went to wipe off leftover black around my eyes & there was NOTHING left! Even my husband is using it now bc I keep raving about it 😆
@@jessicagalyon5840 no, i haven't! i'll give it a try soon. i like the texture of cold creams and balms so i hadn't tried many oils, but i know that's a popular one and dr dray has recommended it as well!
@@kristaii0194 if you're asking about the cleanser, i've only just started using it so i can't comment on long term effects quite yet. but! i've had good experience/results with cerave in general, their cleansers are very gentle and not stripping. this one in particular has more skin-barrier friendly lipids and amino acids as well as salicylic acid (though it doesn't say how much) which is an acne fighting ingredient.
This came out in Canada quite awhile ago. I have been using this for ages. It works very well. My skin has never looked or felt better. I am 61 and have no wrinkles. I also use the CeraVe renewal cream after cleansing. Love them.
I have always done best with rinsing mascara off in the shower before using cleanser. I can't tolerate rubbing oils or cleansers directly into mascara. It's so gross and messy and floods my eyeballs with icky black goo. Thanks for your videos Dr. Dray!
I love this cleanser. The foaming is too dry and the hydrating breaks me out. This one removes my makeup with no irritation. I haven’t found any cleanser that removes my mascara with one cleanse, and a double cleanse doesn’t dry me out. I haven’t noticed the SA, but my skin is still oily, so perhaps that’s why the hydrating portion doesn’t break me out.
Before cleansing my face at night, I use the Vanicream Moisturizing Cream for sensitive skin that comes in the one pound tub. It’s free of dyes, fragrance, and other things you might not want to use around the eyes. No stinging and it takes just a small amount to completely remove the mascara!
As a regular makeup user I honestly don't expect any regular cleanser like this to be able to remove all my makeup. Double cleansing or using makeup remover first is the way to go. I would say for the most part I have oily skin but I seem to be experiencing more dehydration and dry patches in the winter so I'm interested to try this.
My hypersensitive/rosacea skin just LOOOOVES the Vanicream gentle cleanser. I had tried Cerave before, but it was a little harsh and I ended up with some irritation.
Honestly as someone who only uses light makeup on rare occasions (bb cream when I know a lot of pictures are going to be taken,) this product works perfectly. It cleans my face in one wash, feels super gentle and hasnt made me break out at all, which I get with a lot of cleansers I've used in the past
I Use SA in The Morning my skin is already Clean. Thank You!! Love your videos. I remember when u Had A Thousand Subscribers.. AMAZING you Have Almost 900.000 So proud.
I think the new cleanser is a great idea, but not there yet for those of us with dryish skin. I do love the addition of the salicylic avid. Out of other drugstore skin care companies, CeraVe has a consistent label system for all of its products - dry, normal, and oily.
Also, Dr. Dray, I was wondering if you could comment on how Cerave’s focus is ceramides and Eucerin’s focus is urea. How do they compare for dry sensitive facial skin?
I have a playlist only for Dr Dray. The vlogs that I like and the ones that I think I need to save because I may need to get back to them for reference. Thank you for all the precious information that you share on your channel. God bless you more.
I’ve used CeraVa hydrating cleanser for a decade. It’s great at removing tube mascara haven’t had much luck with other mascaras. I’d love to see an oil and balm too!
yes the hydrating cleanser leaves me with panda eyes so I use a makeup remover first. Just massage it around the eyes with your fingers as Dr Dray does, to break it up. Dr Idriss does the same. No cotton pads or wipes, just your fingers.
I used to think the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser did not cleanse much at all, which I actually prefer. Last week I was proven wrong, though. I’d gone ham with my zinc sunscreen that day, so much so that my cleansing balm wasn’t emulsifying & rinsing off per usual. The CeraVe Hydrating took off almost all the white, oily residue - quickly too. L’Orral knows what they’re doing in R&D.
FLORENCIA CRUZ SOTOMAYOR You should be using the SA cleanser in the morning before sunscreen and you should be using an actual cleanser in the evening to cleanse off the rest of the sunscreen and cleansing oil. Don’t use all three at once it will strip your skin and dry it out. It’s still a sort of cleanser but it’s a treatment cleanser and not a face wash if that makes sense.
FLORENCIA CRUZ SOTOMAYOR The SA cleanser is more of a treatment and cleanser rather than just a cleanser/face wash. The european SA cleanser is also different to the american one. The european one contains less salicylic acid and more surfactants and the american one contains less surfactants and more salicylic acid.
I've been using this for about 2 weeks and have used the other 2 cleansers as well. I feel like it does what it intends- it marries the hydrating and foaming cleansers. I really like it (I have normal-oily skin that gets dryer in colder months). I always do a double cleanse and use this as my second step, so I don't have an issue with it not removing makeup.
Hello.. This is my cleanser for one month now but I seem to have discoloration on some part of my face. It seems like yellowish around my eyes, around my mouth and sides of my nose. Is this normal? Does this cleanser have a mild exfoliating effect because of the salicylic acid in there?
I haven’t been able to use my Cerave cleanser because my skin is so irritated from mask wearing. I am glad I purchased my Vanicream cleanse, lotion and cream. I use the Hado Labo cleansing oil for first my cleanse. Cerave is just making my face sting right now.
Erinn Swan We almost have the same routine! I use haba lado (been using about 3 wks & I keep raving about it I love it so much) vanicream bar at night bc I don’t feel it’s as drying but cleans better.. liquid in morning just bc it’s easier.. the ordinary hyaluronic acid serum w cerave lotion on top. The cerave facial moisturizer just didn’t work well w me even tho i used it for years. Have you tried the cerave lotion? I always wonder how vanicream compares.
I have extremely sensitive skin. Redness, dryness, itchiness, burning sensation...I have it all. After trying a lot of cleansers and experimentation (including the Cerave foaming and the hydrating one) I found that combining the two at the same time works for me. But the amount I use is very important. I use just a pea size of Foaming and half a pea size of Hydrating, mix it in my palm and wash my face. If I use a normal pump of Foaming it dries my face and makes it red. Hope it helps.
Awesome job comparing these products and explaining the specific intent and characteristics of each! 👏 it’s a erase confusion with CeraVe cleansers video 🎥 I use the CeraVe SA cream for rough skin and the results have been outstanding I didn’t think a product could produce results that good!
Thank you for saying you do everything in the shower!! I've been doing it for years and all-time I hear "oh you should not wash your face in the shower". Thank you Dr. Dray!!
In my 50's now & trying to figure out a new routine that wks best for my "older skin". Started using Ponds after Dr Dray suggested it as a part of a double cleanse & I was quite surprised w it. As far as CeraVe products, I've been very pleased w every one I've used so far. Can't wait to try the cream to form cleanser
I've learned so much from your videos. My routine now consists of a double cleanse..first, Neutrogena ultra light cleansing oil followed by Cerave hydrating facial cleanser. My skin feels and looks amazing.
Wanted to see this review. Don’t like the hydrating or foaming cleansers they have, but thought about trying this. Also, I have to thank Dr Dray for changing my skin. One year ago I had dry flaky itchy skin, w eczema breakouts. Threw out my kognac sponge, stopped scrubbing... Added panoxyl as a mask. No hot water & most importantly, putting my cerave lotion on DAMP SKIN! I went back to having normal skin. This week I am looking for powders to use on top of my sunscreen bc I’m starting to look oily!!! And I am so happy bc I never had oil before!! Also have to thank the ordinary hyaluronic acid serum.. be he mostly dr Dray!
The new CeraVe Cream to foam hydrating cleanser is so good and I know bc I have used it and it works well💗💗💗💗💗 totally recommend anyone thinking to get this 🧡🧡🧡
I just bought this on Amazon. I have only used it once but I am liking it so far! I tried the foaming cleanser and it made my skin feel tight and dry. I tried the hydrating cleanser and it felt like it didn’t clean my skin. This new one is like a perfect combo of the two. 😍 I also use Panoxyl cleanser to treat my acne but even using it just once a day dries my skin out. And I like to wash my face twice a day (morning/night). So I am going to try this new CeraVe cleanser as my morning cleanser and continue using my Panoxyl cleanser at night. 😊
I’m obsessed with the hydrating one. I’ve been using it for a while and it works well for me. I tried this one but it was too drying and broke me out a little bit and made me red.
Since I wash my face twice a day, this is the best cleanser for my combination-dry, very dehydrated skin! I love it. Tried so many products but this is the best!
Maybe this will be my perfect match, the hydrating one triggers my acne and the foaming one is too drying. I haven't seen this one in Europe yet though. ❣️
I’m so grateful for all of your reviews of new products. Heads up Cerave for Dr Drays wishlist: A Cerave cleansing oil and cleansing balm! Yes, please!👍🏻😊
Regarding the cleansing oil or balm, I use Ponds ff cold cream (thanks, Dr. Dray). It's terrific at removing all my makeup, and it does not burn my eyes. I use it as the first step in a double-cleansing routine. I use either Vanicream facial cleanser or one of the two Cerave cleansers after the Ponds. Ponds is the bomb, and it's so cost-effective and easily accessible at Target and Wal-Mart.
I have combination skin. I get oily in my t zone and dry on my cheeks and I love this cleanser! I get the best of both worlds. I noticed that the foam isn’t too much but is satisfying and doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped. I use the neutrogena body oil before to remove makeup. Loving this combo!
Hello.. How long have you used this cleanser? This is my cleanser for one month now but I seem to have discoloration on some part of my face. It seems like yellowish around my eyes, around my mouth and sides of my nose. Is this normal? Does this cleanser have a mild exfoliating effect because of the salicylic acid in there?
CeraVe cleansers burn my skin and leaves it red. It is a "no" for me. I do love the Aveeno Calm and Restore. I could not believe that I found it soothing. Thanks, Dr. Dray, for featuring it.
I think CeraVe changed the formula of their micellar water. I’ve used it recently and it says “new formula” on the package. It does not irritate my eyes. That being said, I think oil cleansing does a much better job of taking off makeup. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on the new formula and micellar waters in general. My skin thanks you for all the wonderful content you post!
I found that I like applying it on dry skin and it breaks up my waterproof mascara great! Then after I message it in for a second I will wet my hands and begin to lather it up. My skin is combo leaning oily and I love this! I do not wear heavy makeup all the time but waterproof mascara is a must, and this is great! Try it on dry skin!
I’ve been using the new Cream to Foam cleanser on my dry skin and it’s working very well. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and it cleans without leaving my skin dry, so I can give a very positive review. I do not need to double cleanse, and it will not burn the eyes. I admit, I prefer using a specific eye makeup remover in advance. I actually love “foam” cleansers, but the CeraVe all foam cleanser is meant more specifically for Oily type skin. I did see the SA ingredient. The 19-oz bottle is huge-another great product by CeraVe. Thanks for this review!!
So excited that they’ve finally brought out a foaming hydrating cleanser!!! Currently using one by a different brand that claims to be foaming and hydrating but still managed to make my skin look and feel quiet lack lustre. I know that this will work perfectly and not do that
It's always surprising to me that people only use or want to use one cleanser for all occasions. I use the hydrating cleanser, or Cetaphil for days when I haven't put on any makeup. And I use a foaming cleanser for days when I'm taking my makeup off. It just seems obvious to me that different days call for different cleansers. And yet I personally don't know anyone who follows this. And then they're either complaining about dryness, or that it's too mild and doesn't take off makeup. 🤷🏻♀️
@@Siberius- I always use either a balm or micellar water before cleansing. But again, if I wore sunscreen and makeup that day, I will always follow it up with a foaming cleanser. I leave the gentle cleansers for morning.
@@Kay2be2mr - If it's water-resistant sunscreen* (adding to my last comment). Oh I see what you're up to. I switched to only cleansing at night time and just water-cleansing in the morning... but, my sebaceous filaments need more maintenance than that, so I went back to morning & night cleansing. A more gentle approach there would be to use a very mild cleanser in the morning for sure, since it doesn't have to do very much. Not that I struggled with hydration or oil; I have somewhat oily skin and live in a typically rather humid place.
Just bought the foaming cleanser. Happy with it so far. I barely wear makeup anymore. Always love your super informative reviews and I don't buy anything until it's gotten the Dr Dray seal of approval. Also the rating system would be fantastic.
I always us an eye makeup remover before cleansing. Most eye makeup is difficult to remove and the Lancome Bi-Facil easily removes it. Most one-step cleansers don't effectively remove mascara. Good review. Thanks!
I’m with you in that I find that facial cleansers do not adequately remove my eye makeup, so I prefer to use a Lancôme or other brand remover first. I then use a cotton square with Bioderma micellar water to clean off the residue, then I finally use my all over facial cleanser, like CeraVe Foam to Cream, love it!!
I prefer the garnier skinactive express 2in1 eye makeup remover. The lancome bi-facil or the clinique take the day off always leaves me so greasy and slick with silicone afterwards
nuisan1 Oh.. I cleanse in the morning to remove oil and the evening to remove sun-cream and then I apply eye makeup after my two cleanses if i’m going anywhere special that evening. Three cleanses would be total overkill and I’m not applying eyeshadow makeup on a pair of sun-creamy eyes. How do you live lol?!
I recently tried the CeraVe Cream to Foam Cleanser. I'm not a fan. My face started burning shortly after I used it. It dried my face out and took five or so days for my skin barrier to get back to normal.
@@riof.7947 i mean... it is called a cleanser, I figured it would... /cleanse/ your face 😂 I guess its more of a wash off treatment then, but it isn't obvious
I am all for minimalist skin care, but I don't think one cleanser can do it all and remove dirt, oil and makeup in one wash. Double cleansing is a must. Agree please CeraVe develop an oil cleanser or balm in place of the CeraVe micellar!
I have eczema and I love most of their products. I like the foaming cleanser mostly because of the foaming effect. I rotate products from them, cetaphil, and others. I now prefer cerave everything. Once I finish everything else I will probably only buy Cerave from here on out. It really is the best I've found and the price point is amazing.
I rotate products too because I haven’t found my “holy grails” for eczema. Tbh my skin seems to be fine with any gentle cleanser, but I’m still having trouble with moisturizers. Thought I found a good one with eucerin itch soothing but it’s no longer doing the job for me 😩
You mentioned that the hydrating cream to foam cleanser has SA. That could be contributing to my skin feeling dry and tight. Thank you for pointing that out Dr. Dray
Jessica Galyon Lol. Me too. I follow CeraVe on twitter and saw the new product and few weeks ago and thought about purchasing it but said let me wait for Dr. D’s review.
Having an oily t-zone and rosacea, it can be a struggle to find a cleanser that is gentle enough, yet effective. This particular cleanser is serving me well. If I'll ever wear water-resistant sunscreen, I will go in with an oil first to break it down.
I use cerave hydrating facial cleanser after cleansing oil, in the shower, and it’s working great for me. I’m not clear at all on why this new version is needed. The “cream to foam” formula sounds a little gimmicky. I agree that cerave should make a facial cleansing oil. I certainly would try it.
Wow, I've been using this cleanser for a good month, and I had no idea that is has SA. Kind of sneaky... you don't expect an active like that in a cleanser. So actually I was exposing my skin to an exfoliant daily, and then I was applying my retinoid. Good to know. Fortunately my skin is not that sensitive, but I guess it can trip some people up. Although maybe CeraVe knows what they're doing and the percentage is very low... but it being on the middle of the list would suggest otherwise.
1. Eye makeup is best removed with an eye makeup remover in the first place.I would never expect my SKIN cleanser to take my eyeliner or mascara off. 2. I tested the Cerave Hydrating Cream to Foam cleanser on a full face of makeup. The Cerave removed the makeup and it left my skin feeling soft and supple. Afterward, I used the cotton pad test to see if all of the makeup was removed; the cotton pad came away clean after one cleanse. 3. I would not use this around the eyes if the manufacturer says not to, regardless of their reason. 4. My experience with this product was great. Thanks for the explanations of the use of the other Cerave Cleansers. I like your videos. I just had a different experience with this cleanser than you did.
Good to know the hydrating cleanser isn’t for cleaning because I thought it was just me. Walgreens makes a dupe for this cleanser that I really like. Also includes cerimides , is gentle while removing dirt and tinted sunscreen. Doesn’t sting and is less expensive. Have not tried on mascara. I think oil is the only thing that takes off eye makeup without irritation. Thanks for the review.
An FYI for those on a budget, Walmart has their Equate versions of the hydrating and foaming versions of Cerave for less than $3.00. Imo they appear to work the same for my skin, not sure what Dr. Drays thoughts are on this.
Pretty Accountant I tired the Equate versions of the hydrating cleanser and it was not the same at least not for me. Hopefully this new cleanser is different.
I have mature skin and I'm using this cleanser now. I do not like it. I am not double cleansing and my skin feels dry and tight when I use it. I use a lot of sunscreen during the day and I will have to re-start using the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser along will oil cleansing. When it gets in my eyes it burns bad, bad, bad.
I was tempted to buy this, but several reviewers on Amazon said the exact same thing you did. I have really dry skin and can actually use the original CeraVe foam cleanser with no problems, but this new one sounds like it will be too drying for me.
@@vegasgirl3538 I was tempted also,and glad I did not buy it. I have same problem dry skin due to rosacea and I was using the CeraVe facial foaming cleanser and moisturizer.For me the foaming cleanser made my skin tight and still dry. So I switched to the hydrating cleanser and Vanicream and my skin loves this new combination!
There's nothing like a good cup of coffee and watching Dr. Dray's new video in the morning 😊 Glad that you reviewed this, had my eye on it! Have a happy and bless Wednesday yall!!🌻🌵💛🙏😊
This is my go-to cleanser and I really like it. It feels hydrating enough (for something that doesn't stay on your face very long) and I like that it foams so that I get good coverage with the one pump. I've always had issues with non-foaming cleansers because it's so hard to tell if it's spreading around well enough without having to use a bunch of it. I also have very sensitive skin and my face tolerates this product very well. I rarely wear makeup now, but when I do I feel like it does an ok job of getting most of my non-waterproof mascara off the first time. Watching how Dr. Dray did it, I'm not shocked nothing came off, it seemed like she barely got the product on her lashes and didn't get much of a foam worked up. I've found that getting the foam lather worked into my eyelashes does a pretty good job, the hard part comes when the mascara gets smudged down onto my under-eye skin - that's harder to get off. I've only just recently started double-cleansing and though I haven't worn makeup yet for a double cleanse, it obviously won't matter anymore whether this CeraVe cleanser works for makeup removal.
Agreed. The way she washed her face would’ve been appropriate if she wasn’t wearing any mascara. If you’re wearing mascara you have to spend more time going over your eyes and lashes even with just one cleanser imo
I’d say give it a try, I purchase all these products at Target because their return process is so incredibly easy so if it doesn’t work just exchange it or return it :)
Same. I felt a film w the hydrating one tho. Foaming wa soooo irritating. Had this in my shopping cart when it came out.. but took it back bc I think I wouldn’t mind trying the SA cleanser instead.
Yesssss! I bought this almost a month ago. I love it! I think it's their best cleanser yet! Happy Wednesday! Edit: hmmm...well, I ran into some problems with this cleanser. Last night it started irritating and burning my face. Ugh. The only Cerave product I can use rn is their bar soap..unfortunately I don't know what it is but Cerave irritates and burns my skin. I thought I found a winner. Back to Avene gentle cleansing lotion. It's ok. We live and learn.😁💯🙌🤗
Hmm maybe the SA is being used as a preservative in this case? If it were in a high enough concentration for treatment they would surely market it as so? Seems weird
@@ColletteC2106 very interesting, I've heard about acids being used as preservatives a few times before but I don't think SA is commonly used in that sense. That would probably mean it's in such a low concentration that it won't yield any visible results.
The foaming Cleanser irritated my skin so badly and for some reason I can’t use none of their other products. I don’t know what ingredients in their products I am allergic to
I use a face wash called Basis to take my makeup off. I takes everything off with one wash unless you wear a ton of makeup but you shouldn't need no more than 2 washes. I have been using it for 10 years! Best stuff ever! You can find it on Amazon, Target or Walgreens kind of hard to find in stores so I have to order online.
My dumb ass JUST made the connection between CERAve and CERAmides 😂🤦🏻♀️
Never realized before

I think about how cerave needs to come out with a cleansing balm every day and yet they still havent
they have a micelar water!
Myrna Weis for micellar water you need to use a cotton pad though, for cleansing oil you don’t because it’s thicker and has more slip.
Olivia D no need to get offended haha. Just stated some information. The original poster probably wants a cleansing balm for the reason that you don’t need to use a cotton pad.

thanks for watching
I about fell down with the myths video where she’s like skincare doesn’t matter... as much as other choices. Like way to be a beacon of light with my skin but also it doesn’t matter 😂😅 excellent point but yeah, WOW!
Yes! 💯 she is THE BEST! ❤️
My go-to greeting for my Zoom calls is now “Well Hey guys!” ☺️☺️
Dorota 😂😂😂
Bethany M her videos are so addicting!
@angela zinnerman no❤️
@angela zinnerman as Dorota's likes continue to climb :)

I randomly ran into this channel and I am impressed with the content, quality and details. The comments of the followers are also very helpful. I am learning so much and wanted to thank Dr Dray for her work, delivery and attention to details. Sense of humor and kindness are very important these days especially :) Thank you and have a happy hump day!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching
Agreed
I didn’t know that some cleansers aren’t really cleansers. This makes so much sense and explains why some cleansers didn’t cleans well. Thanks.
They are cleansers, what she means is they're not meant to be used around the eyes so they can't truly "cleanse" your entire face (for removing eye makeup, sunscreen around your eyes, in a double cleanse, etc.) They are still cleansers, and have surfactants to remove oil and dirt so they will clean the parts of your face you use it on. The SA cleanser is almost identical to their foaming facial cleanser except it has the active ingredient of salicylic acid. You can also leave them on the face for a few minutes to get added benefits from the active ingredients (either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.) If they were not cleansers they would be marketed as masks. You can also use both as body washes.
hallyuniverse Thank you for clarifying! I have been using CeraVe’s BP cleanser as my daily cleanser, and my skin always feels clean, so I was very confused about that.
Julie you use the cerave bp daily, like morning and night, what’s your skin type?
@@hallyuniverse so is the SA cleanser good to use as second step in a double cleanse?
@@SjaakiiMoos No, because you don't want to use it on your eyelids/around the eyes
I've tried the hydrating cleanser and the foaming and didn't like either, the hydrating felt like it doesn't clean my slightly oily skin but the foaming is too stripping and makes my skin tight. This cleanser is PERFECT! Cleans my skin and leaves it feeling normal not dirty not dry. I also love using it as body wash so now I save space by using this for everything but hair wish I could use it for that too lol.
i really like this cleanser in my double cleanse system. i’ve tried the foaming one from cerave and it broke me out in small tiny red bumps and the hydrating one was really nice but i didn’t feel like it was cleaning my skin properly. But this has been an amazing middle ground between those two cleansers I get the clean feeling of the foaming and the hydrating portion of the hydrating cleanser :)
@gabrierlaa.ortizz does it really create a “foam” or is more like a *froth* which some hair conditioners create on your hairy?
@@Orlanzepol123 Foam
it really is the perfect cleanser
Do you use it everyday morning and night?
Omg yessss a cerave cleansing balm would be an absolute dream come true. I hope CeraVe is listening to dr dray!
I'm new here and Dr. Dray has posted every single day. I feel blessed. Bye "beauty gurus"
Michele Mei welcome 🤗
Don't really understand people who feel like throwing other people under the bus or ironically reffering to them for no reason. Those "beauty gurus" are actually really helpful in their way. There is no such thing as "the go to youtuber for info", especially on more serious topics such as skin, health, etc. You should ALWAYS have different sources of info and don't take anything you hear on youtube as an absolute truth.
@@roscaandrei4913 good points. However, there are those that tout themselves as experts in the field when in fact they aren't. Nothing wrong with being the average consumer or retailer; it's just deceiving and people tend to have buyers remorse when they had a certain trust between themselves and the "beauty guru/specialist" etc. You are right in that there is a place for everyone, I just believe that transparency goes a long way in keeping things good between the advisor and consumer, so that people know what to expect and how much to take from what they're suggested. That's why disclaimers are important.
💯💯
Yeah it’s INSANE. I don’t understand how or why she does it. But I love it lol
Omg the cerave packages all look the same to me (of course, some are blue, some are green, the words are different...), but I'm always picking up the wrong product haha! Thank you for talking about this!!!
yeah it looks like the other hydrating cleanser
Wait until you try the ordinary 😂
I ALWAYS pick up the wrong product
True! Twice in a row I been buying the foaming cleanser instead of the hydrating 😂 They should actually change the colour on some of them.
If I plan to repurchase a product, I either take a picture of it or I look it up online and grab a screenshot. I have a dedicated folder for it on my phone, so it's easy to reference. No more confusion!
I do the same with ingredient lists for recipes, btw.
Phew! Glad to know that I'm not the only one haha!
Yes! Thanks Dr Dray, hope your week is going well. So my takeaway is that this cleanser is supposed to be a blend of the Hydrating, Foaming, and SA Cleansers. It starts as a cream and then foams. It does contain SA. Lastly, it did not remove mascara with one wash (without oil cleansing).
yep
I would not expect a cleanser to remove waterproof mascara, which is why I hate water proof mascara. I would expect that an actual makeup remover or oil cleanser would have to be used on water proof mascara. Has anyone tried this new cleanser on non-water proof mascara ?
@@kathleenroderick6833
I'm not sure, if that's even a good idea. I would not let a cleanser with SA anywhere near my eyes, personally. Now granted, my eyes are extremely sensitive, but still...SA is irritating. And most products with SA explicitly state, to not use it near your eyes.
I'd recommend using a product with SA in the morning and only applying it, where it's needed and doing a double cleanse with a different cleanser at night, to remove make up.
@@raraavis7782 Thank you - I didn't even think about the SA in this new cleanser but you're right ! I really like your suggestion to spot-use an sa cleanser in the am and do a double cleanse at night. Will do !
@@kathleenroderick6833 I know this is a bit late but in the video she uses the cleanser to try remove non waterproof mascara, I’d assume cleansing oils would work better tho!
they have good prices and good quality. I resist to spend $20 on a 6oz cleanser
👍
It would be so nice that you´d analized more PURITO Products. I think you'll love the Dermide Cica Barrier Sleeping Pack and maybe the Sea Buckthorn Vital 70 Cream. No fragances!!!! I´m a big fan of the Centella Green Level Unscented Sun SPF50+ PA++++. I use it and reapply it every single day, I'm such a good pupil!! hahaha
I started using Cerave SA Cleanser after Dr. Dray suggested it and I LOVE it. I’ve gotten my mom to use it as well and she loves it too. I guess every one of her 1M followers are using it too because I can’t find it anywhere anymore.
Amazon
Target
Walmart
Ulta
Sephora
You name it they’re out of stock.
I have very oily skin and I very much enjoy this product as the second step in my double cleanse.
👍
Oh wow really I might try it!
@@DrDrayzdaycerave hydrating cleanser remove suncreen ?
Doesn’t look like Target carries it yet unless it’s in-store only. I really wish CeraVe would put out both a full-sized and travel version of new products so that we can see if it works for our skin first since others have commented that some of the other CeraVe products have created a burning sensation for them.
I love the foaming cleanser but always thought the hydrating cleanser felt like hair conditioner on my face. Will have to give this new one a try.
Have u tried it? If so how do you like it ?
In my opinion, the make up remover property, you may use it on your dry skin to let emollient and oil do their job and then go under shower to transform it into leather foam, let it wash out.
literally just bought it yesterday! it definitely doesn’t replace a double cleanse, but i didn’t trust that it would and started with some albolene anyway! my favorite of the facial cleansers so far ❤️ i second the cerave cleansing oil/balm idea!
jamjamxo I used to use albolene but had to wipe off my makeup still. I’m obsessed w haba lado cleansing oil. Have you tried it? It is amazing. For the first time I went to wipe off leftover black around my eyes & there was NOTHING left! Even my husband is using it now bc I keep raving about it 😆
@@jessicagalyon5840 no, i haven't! i'll give it a try soon. i like the texture of cold creams and balms so i hadn't tried many oils, but i know that's a popular one and dr dray has recommended it as well!
does it help with acne and clearing up the skin?
@@kristaii0194 if you're asking about the cleanser, i've only just started using it so i can't comment on long term effects quite yet. but! i've had good experience/results with cerave in general, their cleansers are very gentle and not stripping. this one in particular has more skin-barrier friendly lipids and amino acids as well as salicylic acid (though it doesn't say how much) which is an acne fighting ingredient.
Hi,
Have you ever tried their regular hydrating cleanser? If so, do you refer the cream-to-foam or the regular?
This came out in Canada quite awhile ago. I have been using this for ages. It works very well. My skin has never looked or felt better. I am 61 and have no wrinkles. I also use the CeraVe renewal cream after cleansing. Love them.
What was your skin care routine for not having wrinkles.. I also want to look like this at my 61
I mix the CeraVe hydrating and foaming 50/50 in a different bottle. Works great.
I have always done best with rinsing mascara off in the shower before using cleanser. I can't tolerate rubbing oils or cleansers directly into mascara. It's so gross and messy and floods my eyeballs with icky black goo. Thanks for your videos Dr. Dray!
I love this cleanser. The foaming is too dry and the hydrating breaks me out. This one removes my makeup with no irritation. I haven’t found any cleanser that removes my mascara with one cleanse, and a double cleanse doesn’t dry me out. I haven’t noticed the SA, but my skin is still oily, so perhaps that’s why the hydrating portion doesn’t break me out.
Before cleansing my face at night, I use the Vanicream Moisturizing Cream for sensitive skin that comes in the one pound tub. It’s free of dyes, fragrance, and other things you might not want to use around the eyes. No stinging and it takes just a small amount to completely remove the mascara!
This cleanser is soooo good, I have rosacea and this is the only cleanser that cleans and doesn't irritate my skin.
As a regular makeup user I honestly don't expect any regular cleanser like this to be able to remove all my makeup. Double cleansing or using makeup remover first is the way to go. I would say for the most part I have oily skin but I seem to be experiencing more dehydration and dry patches in the winter so I'm interested to try this.
My hypersensitive/rosacea skin just LOOOOVES the Vanicream gentle cleanser. I had tried Cerave before, but it was a little harsh and I ended up with some irritation.
I accidentally bought this the other day, I really wish they made the packaging a different color instead of the same as the hydrating cleanser.
Try it as a body wash if you still have it.
Honestly as someone who only uses light makeup on rare occasions (bb cream when I know a lot of pictures are going to be taken,) this product works perfectly. It cleans my face in one wash, feels super gentle and hasnt made me break out at all, which I get with a lot of cleansers I've used in the past
your skin type?
Do you use if everday morning and night?
I Use SA in The Morning my skin is already Clean. Thank You!! Love your videos. I remember when u Had A Thousand Subscribers.. AMAZING you Have Almost 900.000 So proud.
I think the new cleanser is a great idea, but not there yet for those of us with dryish skin. I do love the addition of the salicylic avid. Out of other drugstore skin care companies, CeraVe has a consistent label system for all of its products - dry, normal, and oily.
Also, Dr. Dray, I was wondering if you could comment on how Cerave’s focus is ceramides and Eucerin’s focus is urea. How do they compare for dry sensitive facial skin?
I’d like to know as well
Me too
Great question
Yes!
I use this face dash and as. Moisturizer I use eucerin 5% and the cerave pm moisture…. It’s a dream 🎉
I have a playlist only for Dr Dray. The vlogs that I like and the ones that I think I need to save because I may need to get back to them for reference. Thank you for all the precious information that you share on your channel. God bless you more.
I’ve used CeraVa hydrating cleanser for a decade. It’s great at removing tube mascara haven’t had much luck with other mascaras. I’d love to see an oil and balm too!
yes the hydrating cleanser leaves me with panda eyes so I use a makeup remover first. Just massage it around the eyes with your fingers as Dr Dray does, to break it up. Dr Idriss does the same. No cotton pads or wipes, just your fingers.
I used to think the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser did not cleanse much at all, which I actually prefer. Last week I was proven wrong, though. I’d gone ham with my zinc sunscreen that day, so much so that my cleansing balm wasn’t emulsifying & rinsing off per usual. The CeraVe Hydrating took off almost all the white, oily residue - quickly too. L’Orral knows what they’re doing in R&D.
Dr Dray, would you mind telling us how to use the “cleansers that don’t really cleanse?” Like, when to use them in the skincare routine? Thanks 😊
FLORENCIA CRUZ SOTOMAYOR hi! Which balm do you use?)
FLORENCIA CRUZ SOTOMAYOR You should be using the SA cleanser in the morning before sunscreen and you should be using an actual cleanser in the evening to cleanse off the rest of the sunscreen and cleansing oil. Don’t use all three at once it will strip your skin and dry it out. It’s still a sort of cleanser but it’s a treatment cleanser and not a face wash if that makes sense.
FLORENCIA CRUZ SOTOMAYOR The SA cleanser is more of a treatment and cleanser rather than just a cleanser/face wash. The european SA cleanser is also different to the american one. The european one contains less salicylic acid and more surfactants and the american one contains less surfactants and more salicylic acid.
She goes over this in her oily skin routine! Take it from the source ❤️
I use the SA cleanser in the morning
I've been using this for about 2 weeks and have used the other 2 cleansers as well. I feel like it does what it intends- it marries the hydrating and foaming cleansers. I really like it (I have normal-oily skin that gets dryer in colder months). I always do a double cleanse and use this as my second step, so I don't have an issue with it not removing makeup.
Hello.. This is my cleanser for one month now but I seem to have discoloration on some part of my face. It seems like yellowish around my eyes, around my mouth and sides of my nose. Is this normal? Does this cleanser have a mild exfoliating effect because of the salicylic acid in there?
I haven’t been able to use my Cerave cleanser because my skin is so irritated from mask wearing. I am glad I purchased my Vanicream cleanse, lotion and cream. I use the Hado Labo cleansing oil for first my cleanse. Cerave is just making my face sting right now.
Erinn Swan We almost have the same routine! I use haba lado (been using about 3 wks & I keep raving about it I love it so much) vanicream bar at night bc I don’t feel it’s as drying but cleans better.. liquid in morning just bc it’s easier.. the ordinary hyaluronic acid serum w cerave lotion on top. The cerave facial moisturizer just didn’t work well w me even tho i used it for years. Have you tried the cerave lotion? I always wonder how vanicream compares.
I thought it was just my skin stinging because of CeraVe bruh !
Try cicaplast from laroche. I use it at night time and has help tons with mask irritation. Dr. Dray recommended it 👍
Martha Palomino laroche is kinda higher priced
Martha Palomino I ordered a fragrance free and essential free cica cream but it hasn’t been delivered yet. I can’t wait till it gets here.
I have extremely sensitive skin. Redness, dryness, itchiness, burning sensation...I have it all. After trying a lot of cleansers and experimentation (including the Cerave foaming and the hydrating one) I found that combining the two at the same time works for me. But the amount I use is very important. I use just a pea size of Foaming and half a pea size of Hydrating, mix it in my palm and wash my face. If I use a normal pump of Foaming it dries my face and makes it red. Hope it helps.
Wow good idea! I will try that.
Do you still do this or find the cream to foam cleanser better?
Awesome job comparing these products and explaining the specific intent and characteristics of each! 👏 it’s a erase confusion with CeraVe cleansers video 🎥 I use the CeraVe SA cream for rough skin and the results have been outstanding I didn’t think a product could produce results that good!
lol! Thanks!! Happy Wednesday!
Greetings U. Charlie hope u r well n Happy Wednesday😀👍💜....

Thank you for saying you do everything in the shower!! I've been doing it for years and all-time I hear "oh you should not wash your face in the shower". Thank you Dr. Dray!!
I love to pair ponds fragrance free with cerave hydrating.
In my 50's now & trying to figure out a new routine that wks best for my "older skin". Started using Ponds after Dr Dray suggested it as a part of a double cleanse & I was quite surprised w it. As far as CeraVe products, I've been very pleased w every one I've used so far. Can't wait to try the cream to form cleanser
Yes please! Bring the cleanser rating system out for us, we need it. Thanks for a great vid 🙏
I've learned so much from your videos. My routine now consists of a double cleanse..first, Neutrogena ultra light cleansing oil followed by Cerave hydrating facial cleanser. My skin feels and looks amazing.
Thats the same routine I follow!
What’s your skin type?
@@wafahussain5986 normal to dry
This is the only dermatologist channel I consistently watch and trust. Love the longer vlogs . Whoo! hoo!! DR. DRAY!
Wanted to see this review. Don’t like the hydrating or foaming cleansers they have, but thought about trying this. Also, I have to thank Dr Dray for changing my skin. One year ago I had dry flaky itchy skin, w eczema breakouts. Threw out my kognac sponge, stopped scrubbing... Added panoxyl as a mask. No hot water & most importantly, putting my cerave lotion on DAMP SKIN! I went back to having normal skin. This week I am looking for powders to use on top of my sunscreen bc I’m starting to look oily!!! And I am so happy bc I never had oil before!! Also have to thank the ordinary hyaluronic acid serum.. be he mostly dr Dray!
The new CeraVe Cream to foam hydrating cleanser is so good and I know bc I have used it and it works well💗💗💗💗💗 totally recommend anyone thinking to get this 🧡🧡🧡
I just bought this on Amazon. I have only used it once but I am liking it so far! I tried the foaming cleanser and it made my skin feel tight and dry. I tried the hydrating cleanser and it felt like it didn’t clean my skin. This new one is like a perfect combo of the two. 😍 I also use Panoxyl cleanser to treat my acne but even using it just once a day dries my skin out. And I like to wash my face twice a day (morning/night). So I am going to try this new CeraVe cleanser as my morning cleanser and continue using my Panoxyl cleanser at night. 😊
I’m obsessed with the hydrating one. I’ve been using it for a while and it works well for me. I tried this one but it was too drying and broke me out a little bit and made me red.
What’s your skin type?
Omg me too!!!! I have dry and sensitive skin and my chin broke out so bad. Back to the hydrating cleanser!
I've never seen or heard anything even slightly negative about a Cerave product until now!
Since I wash my face twice a day, this is the best cleanser for my combination-dry, very dehydrated skin! I love it. Tried so many products but this is the best!
the cream to foam one?
@@ur.f4v.brunette yes!
Maybe this will be my perfect match, the hydrating one triggers my acne and the foaming one is too drying. I haven't seen this one in Europe yet though. ❣️
Ponds fragrance free, and cerave hydrating cleanser👍
Thanks to Dr. Dray
I’m so grateful for all of your reviews of new products.
Heads up Cerave for Dr Drays wishlist: A Cerave cleansing oil and cleansing balm! Yes, please!👍🏻😊
Yes please! 👏🏻
Regarding the cleansing oil or balm, I use Ponds ff cold cream (thanks, Dr. Dray). It's terrific at removing all my makeup, and it does not burn my eyes. I use it as the first step in a double-cleansing routine. I use either Vanicream facial cleanser or one of the two Cerave cleansers after the Ponds. Ponds is the bomb, and it's so cost-effective and easily accessible at Target and Wal-Mart.
I have combination skin. I get oily in my t zone and dry on my cheeks and I love this cleanser! I get the best of both worlds. I noticed that the foam isn’t too much but is satisfying and doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped. I use the neutrogena body oil before to remove makeup. Loving this combo!
Does it make skin soft after washing? Like some cleanser leaves a layer of cream type thing.
Idk if i am able to properly convey my question
Hello.. How long have you used this cleanser? This is my cleanser for one month now but I seem to have discoloration on some part of my face. It seems like yellowish around my eyes, around my mouth and sides of my nose. Is this normal? Does this cleanser have a mild exfoliating effect because of the salicylic acid in there?
CeraVe cleansers burn my skin and leaves it red. It is a "no" for me. I do love the Aveeno Calm and Restore. I could not believe that I found it soothing. Thanks, Dr. Dray, for featuring it.
I think CeraVe changed the formula of their micellar water. I’ve used it recently and it says “new formula” on the package. It does not irritate my eyes. That being said, I think oil cleansing does a much better job of taking off makeup. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on the new formula and micellar waters in general. My skin thanks you for all the wonderful content you post!
I got this last week and like it much better !!! It is super creamy and really cleans well without drying skin 😀
I found that I like applying it on dry skin and it breaks up my waterproof mascara great! Then after I message it in for a second I will wet my hands and begin to lather it up. My skin is combo leaning oily and I love this! I do not wear heavy makeup all the time but waterproof mascara is a must, and this is great! Try it on dry skin!
Ooh that’s a good idea. You’re using it like a cleansing balm.
I’ve been using the new Cream to Foam cleanser on my dry skin and it’s working very well. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and it cleans without leaving my skin dry, so I can give a very positive review. I do not need to double cleanse, and it will not burn the eyes. I admit, I prefer using a specific eye makeup remover in advance. I actually love “foam” cleansers, but the CeraVe all foam cleanser is meant more specifically for Oily type skin. I did see the SA ingredient. The 19-oz bottle is huge-another great product by CeraVe. Thanks for this review!!
it is a big bottle!
I’ve been using the sa cleanser exclusively for years. Thanks for this info. Just ordered this new one.
So excited that they’ve finally brought out a foaming hydrating cleanser!!! Currently using one by a different brand that claims to be foaming and hydrating but still managed to make my skin look and feel quiet lack lustre. I know that this will work perfectly and not do that
It's always surprising to me that people only use or want to use one cleanser for all occasions. I use the hydrating cleanser, or Cetaphil for days when I haven't put on any makeup. And I use a foaming cleanser for days when I'm taking my makeup off. It just seems obvious to me that different days call for different cleansers. And yet I personally don't know anyone who follows this. And then they're either complaining about dryness, or that it's too mild and doesn't take off makeup. 🤷🏻♀️
You can also just use one gentle cleanser, and if you have make-up or sunscreen on, then first use a cleansing oil to help it out.
@@Siberius- I always use either a balm or micellar water before cleansing. But again, if I wore sunscreen and makeup that day, I will always follow it up with a foaming cleanser. I leave the gentle cleansers for morning.
@@Kay2be2mr - If it's water-resistant sunscreen* (adding to my last comment).
Oh I see what you're up to. I switched to only cleansing at night time and just water-cleansing in the morning... but, my sebaceous filaments need more maintenance than that, so I went back to morning & night cleansing.
A more gentle approach there would be to use a very mild cleanser in the morning for sure, since it doesn't have to do very much.
Not that I struggled with hydration or oil; I have somewhat oily skin and live in a typically rather humid place.
Just bought the foaming cleanser. Happy with it so far.
I barely wear makeup anymore.
Always love your super informative reviews and I don't buy anything until it's gotten the Dr Dray seal of approval. Also the rating system would be fantastic.
I always us an eye makeup remover before cleansing. Most eye makeup is difficult to remove and the Lancome Bi-Facil easily removes it. Most one-step cleansers don't effectively remove mascara. Good review. Thanks!
👍
I’m with you in that I find that facial cleansers do not adequately remove my eye makeup, so I prefer to use a Lancôme or other brand remover first. I then use a cotton square with Bioderma micellar water to clean off the residue, then I finally use my all over facial cleanser, like CeraVe Foam to Cream, love it!!
I prefer the garnier skinactive express 2in1 eye makeup remover. The lancome bi-facil or the clinique take the day off always leaves me so greasy and slick with silicone afterwards
@@belladonna9227 Since I use it before I cleanse, I don’t have that issue.
nuisan1 Oh.. I cleanse in the morning to remove oil and the evening to remove sun-cream and then I apply eye makeup after my two cleanses if i’m going anywhere special that evening. Three cleanses would be total overkill and I’m not applying eyeshadow makeup on a pair of sun-creamy eyes. How do you live lol?!
I can’t wait to try this. I tried the hydrating cleanser but I like having a lather.
I recently tried the CeraVe Cream to Foam Cleanser. I'm not a fan. My face started burning shortly after I used it. It dried my face out and took five or so days for my skin barrier to get back to normal.
Yup me too!!! :(
Dr. Dray: the SA cleanser and benzoyl peroxide cleanser are not meant for cleaning your skin
Me: 👁️👄👁️
I felt betrayed
@@Sabrina-sc1db me too!! how could CeraVe do this to me!! still gonna use it though lol
It’s made to deliver SA and BP. Not clean, pretty obvious.
@@riof.7947 i mean... it is called a cleanser, I figured it would... /cleanse/ your face 😂
I guess its more of a wash off treatment then, but it isn't obvious
Brina, please be careful with exfoliating scrubs, they can tear the skin, and cause more damage, matter how gentle you are.
I would love to see you review makeup removers in all price ranges. Cleansers alone never remove makeup. Thanks!
I am all for minimalist skin care, but I don't think one cleanser can do it all and remove dirt, oil and makeup in one wash. Double cleansing is a must. Agree please CeraVe develop an oil cleanser or balm in place of the CeraVe micellar!
I have eczema and I love most of their products. I like the foaming cleanser mostly because of the foaming effect. I rotate products from them, cetaphil, and others. I now prefer cerave everything. Once I finish everything else I will probably only buy Cerave from here on out. It really is the best I've found and the price point is amazing.
I rotate products too because I haven’t found my “holy grails” for eczema. Tbh my skin seems to be fine with any gentle cleanser, but I’m still having trouble with moisturizers. Thought I found a good one with eucerin itch soothing but it’s no longer doing the job for me 😩
You mentioned that the hydrating cream to foam cleanser has SA. That could be contributing to my skin feeling dry and tight. Thank you for pointing that out Dr. Dray
Seeing that product at Target and thinking, "Interesting. Still gonna wait for Dr. Dray's rundown before buying." LOL
Elle Bee same!! I had in my cart & looked up her review.. didn’t see one yet so I put it back!
@@jessicagalyon5840 yessss me too 😂
Where is that Target? I looked for it on their website and couldn't find it :(
They also don't have it at my local Target [yet hopefully lol]
Jessica Galyon Lol. Me too. I follow CeraVe on twitter and saw the new product and few weeks ago and thought about purchasing it but said let me wait for Dr. D’s review.
Thông Tôn v
Having an oily t-zone and rosacea, it can be a struggle to find a cleanser that is gentle enough, yet effective. This particular cleanser is serving me well. If I'll ever wear water-resistant sunscreen, I will go in with an oil first to break it down.
Was waiting for this review
Happy Wednesday 💙
Happy Wednesday!! 😎🇬🇧
Happy Wednesday? Ur suppose to say this in Thursday but ok
This has been super helpful. I've been looking for a new cleanser and this helped. I love that she doesn't give fake advice.
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us Dr Dray! It has really helped me so much with understanding how to navigate skincare!
Glad it was helpful!
I use cerave hydrating facial cleanser after cleansing oil, in the shower, and it’s working great for me. I’m not clear at all on why this new version is needed. The “cream to foam” formula sounds a little gimmicky. I agree that cerave should make a facial cleansing oil. I certainly would try it.
Wow, I've been using this cleanser for a good month, and I had no idea that is has SA. Kind of sneaky... you don't expect an active like that in a cleanser. So actually I was exposing my skin to an exfoliant daily, and then I was applying my retinoid. Good to know. Fortunately my skin is not that sensitive, but I guess it can trip some people up. Although maybe CeraVe knows what they're doing and the percentage is very low... but it being on the middle of the list would suggest otherwise.
1. Eye makeup is best removed with an eye makeup remover in the first place.I would never expect my SKIN cleanser to take my eyeliner or mascara off.
2. I tested the Cerave Hydrating Cream to Foam cleanser on a full face of makeup. The Cerave removed the makeup and it left my skin feeling soft and supple. Afterward, I used the cotton pad test to see if all of the makeup was removed; the cotton pad came away clean after one cleanse.
3. I would not use this around the eyes if the manufacturer says not to, regardless of their reason.
4. My experience with this product was great.
Thanks for the explanations of the use of the other Cerave Cleansers. I like your videos. I just had a different experience with this cleanser than you did.
I love the idea for the numerical rating scale for the gentleness of products! It might even encourage the companies to make gentler products.
I wonder if the pH scale is appropriate to think in this way?
Good to know the hydrating cleanser isn’t for cleaning because I thought it was just me. Walgreens makes a dupe for this cleanser that I really like. Also includes cerimides , is gentle while removing dirt and tinted sunscreen. Doesn’t sting and is less expensive. Have not tried on mascara. I think oil is the only thing that takes off eye makeup without irritation. Thanks for the review.
An FYI for those on a budget, Walmart has their Equate versions of the hydrating and foaming versions of Cerave for less than $3.00. Imo they appear to work the same for my skin, not sure what Dr. Drays thoughts are on this.
Pretty Accountant I tired the Equate versions of the hydrating cleanser and it was not the same at least not for me. Hopefully this new cleanser is different.
the equate foaming cleanser burnt my eyes
I like the equate version of the hydrating cleanser a lot more than the Cerave version.
I have mature skin and I'm using this cleanser now. I do not like it. I am not double cleansing and my skin feels dry and tight when I use it. I use a lot of sunscreen during the day and I will have to re-start using the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser along will oil cleansing. When it gets in my eyes it burns bad, bad, bad.
Thanks for sharing!!
I was tempted to buy this, but several reviewers on Amazon said the exact same thing you did. I have really dry skin and can actually use the original CeraVe foam cleanser with no problems, but this new one sounds like it will be too drying for me.
Yes thanks, that's what I plan to do.
@@vegasgirl3538 I was tempted also,and glad I did not buy it. I have same problem dry skin due to rosacea and I was using the CeraVe facial foaming cleanser and moisturizer.For me the foaming cleanser made my skin tight and still dry. So I switched to the hydrating cleanser and Vanicream and my skin loves this new combination!
@@beverleyreid8258 Hada Labo Cleansing Oil is fantastic!
There's nothing like a good cup of coffee and watching Dr. Dray's new video in the morning 😊 Glad that you reviewed this, had my eye on it!
Have a happy and bless Wednesday yall!!🌻🌵💛🙏😊
Happy Wednesday!
This is my go-to cleanser and I really like it. It feels hydrating enough (for something that doesn't stay on your face very long) and I like that it foams so that I get good coverage with the one pump. I've always had issues with non-foaming cleansers because it's so hard to tell if it's spreading around well enough without having to use a bunch of it. I also have very sensitive skin and my face tolerates this product very well. I rarely wear makeup now, but when I do I feel like it does an ok job of getting most of my non-waterproof mascara off the first time. Watching how Dr. Dray did it, I'm not shocked nothing came off, it seemed like she barely got the product on her lashes and didn't get much of a foam worked up. I've found that getting the foam lather worked into my eyelashes does a pretty good job, the hard part comes when the mascara gets smudged down onto my under-eye skin - that's harder to get off. I've only just recently started double-cleansing and though I haven't worn makeup yet for a double cleanse, it obviously won't matter anymore whether this CeraVe cleanser works for makeup removal.
Agreed. The way she washed her face would’ve been appropriate if she wasn’t wearing any mascara. If you’re wearing mascara you have to spend more time going over your eyes and lashes even with just one cleanser imo
The hydrating cleanser doesn’t seem to do much for my skin but the foaming cleanser is too drying. Could this be a good alternative?
I’d say give it a try, I purchase all these products at Target because their return process is so incredibly easy so if it doesn’t work just exchange it or return it :)
Same. I felt a film w the hydrating one tho. Foaming wa soooo irritating. Had this in my shopping cart when it came out.. but took it back bc I think I wouldn’t mind trying the SA cleanser instead.
@@jessicagalyon5840 I found the sa cleanser to be even more drying than the foaming one
@@jessie9653 same my face was so irritated. I switched to Vanicream cleanser instead and love it.
@@janinecolon3827 what is the vanicream one called is it cream and hydrating or foamy
I've been using the hydrating cleanser for years now.. I like it..
Yesssss! I bought this almost a month ago. I love it! I think it's their best cleanser yet! Happy Wednesday!
Edit: hmmm...well, I ran into some problems with this cleanser. Last night it started irritating and burning my face. Ugh. The only Cerave product I can use rn is their bar soap..unfortunately I don't know what it is but Cerave irritates and burns my skin. I thought I found a winner. Back to Avene gentle cleansing lotion. It's ok. We live and learn.😁💯🙌🤗
Happy Wednesday!
Hi Dr Dray, I would love to hear your thoughts on enzyme cleansers if you would like to make a video about that
Yes?
Hmm maybe the SA is being used as a preservative in this case? If it were in a high enough concentration for treatment they would surely market it as so? Seems weird
An earlier commenter said that CeraVe told them that it was indeed being used as a preservative in this case. I've never heard of that. Interesting.
@@ColletteC2106 very interesting, I've heard about acids being used as preservatives a few times before but I don't think SA is commonly used in that sense. That would probably mean it's in such a low concentration that it won't yield any visible results.
I wish it didn’t have salicylic acid 😭 I have a sensitivity and it causes major burning
In the meantime they came out with a cleansing oil: CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser. Maybe you'd like to review it sometime.
The foaming Cleanser irritated my skin so badly and for some reason I can’t use none of their other products. I don’t know what ingredients in their products I am allergic to
Same for me. Maybe the niacinamide?

Oh my god. This is exactly what I thought of
I use a face wash called Basis to take my makeup off. I takes everything off with one wash unless you wear a ton of makeup but you shouldn't need no more than 2 washes. I have been using it for 10 years! Best stuff ever! You can find it on Amazon, Target or Walgreens kind of hard to find in stores so I have to order online.
