Anyone use CeraVe face wash?

What do you think of it & which one do you use? I’ve read good things about it, not sure which one to try as I’ve noticed they have a few.

Yes the green one as a morning cleanser. I really like Cerave.

People rave about the hydrating cleanser but I’m not too keen. It makes my skin feel a bit “coated”. I double cleanse and it doesn’t suit me for a second cleanse, but it’s not oily enough for a first cleanse either.

I like the foaming cleanser though.

I’m a recent convert and very happy with it. I was recommended it after an outbreak of dermatitis. My skin has been very clear since using it.

I use the foaming for a morning cleanse and like it a lot. I was wondering about trying out the hydrating one but presume it doesn't foam?

I really like the hydrating one, I use it to double cleanse at night then in the shower in the morning. I use Clinique cleansing balm first then use this and finish with either pixi rose toner or glycolic acid before putting on Sarah chapman night serum. I have very dry, sensitive skin but am prone to congestion and this combination works well for me.

Thanks everyone, which one would be best for me do you think? I have combination skin.
I’ve seen they do one called SA smoothing cleanser would this be any good?

Boots often do 3 for 2 on cerave so maybe try all of them initially. I use the hydrating one because my skin is old and withered with dryness now and it's perfect whereas anything else left my skin taught.

I use the smoothing one after seeing it on this morning (the shame). It's been absolutely brilliant. I used to have lots of little bumps under the skin and it's totally transformed it.

‘Snazzygoldfish’ this is currently what I’m suffering with! My skin looks awful! Maybe I should try this first.

I use the hydrating cleanser. I once moved away from it for a few days while I waited for a delivery to restock. Never again.

Also use the hydrating cleanser am and pm, my skin is dry. Best cleanser ever and great value for money too.

I will definitely be ordering some later I think.

If you use the hydrating one - does it foam at all, or is it a milky texture? I like a foam cleanser in the shower but as my skin is getting dryer with age, have been wondering about switching to that version.

I use both the hydrating one and the foaming one.

The hydrating one is a gel cleanser which I remove with a microfibre cloth. It is very similar to the Sam Bunting one.

I use the foaming one in the shower, I don't find it leaves my skin dry or tight.

Zinnia it is the consistency of semen. Don't let that put you off.

Should I maybe order both? The hydrating one for a.m & the smoothing one at night?

I’m a big fan of cerave cleansers and use the hydrating one as a second cleanse at night and the foaming one as a morning cleanse, it isn’t very foamy IME and not drying for me though I do have oily/combo skin.

I really rate their facial moisturiser is too, not tried any of the body stuff yet.

Look Fantastic often have deals on cerave so worth checking there as well as Boots.

I have the hydrating one and do like it, though its definitely not a makeup remover, it's lovely as a second cleanse though.

Am intrigued by the SA one.....
