Most standard foaming soaps and gel face washes use harsh surfactants that strip the vital lipid matrix right out of your skin barrier. This causes that squeaky-clean, tight feeling, which is actually a clear indicator of cellular dehydration and surface barrier micro-tears. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is engineered to change how you clean your skin, offering a soothing, lotion-like alternative that cleanses and moisturizes at the exact same time.
Key Product Benefits
- Zero-Strip Hydrating Wash: Gently sweeps away impurities without disturbing the skin's delicate moisture balance, entirely avoiding that dry, tight after-feel.
- Continuous MVE Nutrient Release: Uses patented MultiVesicular Emulsion (MVE) technology to steadily drip-feed hydrating ingredients into your skin tissue for 24 hours post-wash.
- Structural Barrier Patching: Formulated with three essential ceramides that actively repair your skin's natural protective shield, lowering the risk of everyday moisture loss.
- Deep Humectant Saturation: Infused with clinical-grade Hyaluronic Acid to pull water into the skin's surface cells, leaving your complexion visibly plump and smooth.
- National Eczema Association Approved: Awarded the NEA Seal of Acceptance. Its non-irritating, soap-free, and fragrance-free formulation ensures maximum safety for highly reactive or compromised skin.
How to Use Safely & Correctly
- 1.Wet the Skin: Pre-Wash. Splash your face and neck with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it naturally strips lipids from your skin barrier.
- 2.Dispense and Massage: 60 Seconds. Press the pump down to dispense 1 to 2 pools of the lotion-like cleanser onto clean hands. Smooth it directly onto your skin and massage gently using upward, circular motions for roughly 60 seconds.
- 3.Rinse Thoroughly :Clear. Rinse your skin thoroughly with lukewarm water. Note: The formula is non-foaming and will rinse off cleanly as a milky emulsion without leaving a heavy film.
- 4.Pat Dry: Post-Wash Lock. Gently pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel. For the absolute best results, follow up immediately with your daily CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion while your pores are still damp to lock in maximum hydration.
Important Skincare Precautions
- Keep Out of Inner Eyes: While exceptionally gentle for overall facial cleansing and removing light eye makeup, avoid rubbing the product directly into open eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately and thoroughly with clean, cool water.
- Will Not Strip Heavy Makeup: Because this is a mild, non-stripping cleanser, heavy waterproof mascara or thick oil-based foundations should be broken down first with a micellar water or makeup removing balm.
Storage Instructions
store the pump bottle upright in a cool, dry place strictly below 30°C. Keep protected from high-intensity direct sunlight. Ensure the pump mechanism is twisted to the locked position if traveling to prevent leaks. Keep out of reach of children.
