CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser - 19 fl oz fragrance free, squalane & hyaluronic acid for dry to very dry skin

This dermatologist-developed cleanser is formulated for dry, sensitive, and atopic-prone skin types and is suitable for use from infancy onward. The oil-to-foam technology melts onto skin, then rinses away cleanly without a greasy finish, while a combination of ceramides, squalane and hyaluronic acid supports the skin’s natural barrier and helps retain hydration.

How does the oil-to-foam formula work for dry or sensitive skin?

The cleanser starts as a lightweight oil that lifts makeup, sunscreen, and surface oils, then transforms into a soft foam when water is added. This two-stage action cleans efficiently without harsh stripping, so skin feels comfortable rather than tight after rinsing.

• Oil phase dissolves oil-based residues like mascara and sunscreen
• Foam phase removes water-soluble impurities for a balanced cleanse
• Rinses away fully with no greasy film left behind

What active ingredients support skin hydration and barrier health?

This formula combines three essential ceramides with squalane and hyaluronic acid to replenish lipids and attract moisture. Ceramides help maintain the structural integrity of the skin barrier, squalane adds lightweight emollience, and hyaluronic acid helps retain water within the outer skin layers.

• Three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to support barrier function
• Squalane for non-greasy moisture retention and softness
• Hyaluronic acid to help bind and hold hydration at the skin surface

Can I use this on both face and body and on sensitive or baby skin?

Yes — the gentle, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formula is designed for face and body use and has been accepted by the National Eczema Association. It’s suitable for atopic-prone and sensitive skin, and safe for use on children three months and older as directed.

• Approved for face and body cleansing — one product for your routine
• Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic to minimize irritation and pore clogging
• National Eczema Association accepted and suitable for baby skin (3+ months)

How should I use it in my daily routine for best results?

Use on wet skin with lukewarm water: massage a small amount to transform the oil into foam, then rinse thoroughly. It removes makeup and impurities effectively, so it can be used as a first cleanser in a double-cleanse or alone for daily cleansing, morning and night.

• Wet skin, apply a small pump, massage until foamy, then rinse
• Works as a makeup remover and daily cleanser without extra drying
• Follow with your usual moisturizer or targeted treatments as needed

Who is this for: Ideal for people with dry to very dry skin, those with sensitive or eczema-prone skin, parents seeking a gentle cleanser for children (3 months and up), and anyone who wants a non-greasy, hydrating face and body cleanser. If you need a rinse-off product that cleans thoroughly while supporting the skin’s barrier and hydration, this CeraVe formula is a practical daily option.
