Face and body foaming cleanser that removes excess oil while supporting the skin barrier, CeraVe Foaming Cleanser. Gentle, fragrance-free formulation leaves skin feeling balanced and reassured for everyday use. Is the family-size bottle sensible for a single user, or better suited to shared bathrooms?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Cleansing Action: Foaming gel removes excess oil and surface impurities from face and body
  • Best for: People with normal to oily skin who want a gentle daily cleanser
  • Not ideal for: Those with very dry skin who require richer, cream-based cleansers

Foaming gel designed for face and body, cleansing excess oil while staying gentle. Developed with dermatologists to be suitable for routine use on normal to oily skin.


Strengthened skin barrier – with 3 essential ceramides

Three essential ceramides are included in the formulation to replenish lipids found in the outer skin layer and help maintain barrier integrity. The ceramides work alongside other moisturising agents in the formula.

Improved barrier support helps skin feel less reactive and better able to retain moisture after cleansing.

All-day hydration – with MVE Technology

MVE Technology locks in moisture by releasing hydration ingredients over an extended period, helping the skin retain water for up to 24 hours as described. Hyaluronic acid is present to attract and hold moisture in the outer layers.

Hydration feels more sustained after use, reducing the tight, stripped sensation that can follow some cleansers.

Balanced cleansing for normal to oily skin – with foaming gel and niacinamide

Foaming gel action cleanses and removes excess oil from face and body, while niacinamide is included in the ingredient list. The formulation is described as gentle, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic.

Leaves skin clean without over-drying, suitable for oily zones and combination complexions that need oil control without harsh stripping.
