My Experience:
I’ve been using the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for the past few months as part of my daily routine. The first thing I noticed was the creamy, non-foaming texture, which felt soothing as I applied it.

After consistent use, my skin felt more hydrated and balanced. The cleanser effectively removed daily dirt and impurities without irritating my sensitive skin. Its fragrance-free formula is especially beneficial for anyone prone to redness or sensitivity. I also found that it worked well with my other skincare products, creating a smooth base without any residue.
