Ingredient Details
Redness and irritation may be caused by several reasons, although there is no definitive answer. Reasons may range from physical exertion to sun exposure, allergies, or Rosacea.
Decreased natural production of oils, degraded collagen, UV exposure, and lifestyle all contribute to how your skin looks over time. Although we cannot stop aging, there are ingredients that have been shown to slow the process: retinoids, antioxidants, and some peptides.
A scar is an area of fibrous tissue that remains after the skin has been wounded and healed.
Dull skin is temporary; all it usually will need is a little perk-me-up, such as extra hydration, some exfoliation, and vitamin nourishment.
Vitamin E contains loads of antioxidants which help protect your skin from pollution and reduce hyperpigmentation.
Ceramides are intercellular lipids that bond dead skin cells together to create a barrier. Ceramides are known for their ability to hold water.
Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant, meaning it has the ability to hold water and rehydrate skin.
Common acne is known as Acne vulgaris. Acne forms when skin follicles are clogged by sebum, hair, skin cells, or oils. There are several types of acne: whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts.
Skin irritation can arise from a number of reasons: very dry skin, sensitivity to certain ingredients, allergies, dermatitis, bug bites, eczema, rosacea, and illness are common factors.

Hydrating Facial Cleanser Reviews (6)

Ouch!
This is supposed to be great for gentle cleansing of the skin however it stings/burns on my dry sensitive skin. I have much better luck from other non-foaming cleansers that are also cruelty-free which CeraVe isn't.

Overrated
This got so much hype but it's really nothing special especially for the price. When my skin is super dry or irritated it only irritates it more and makes my skin burn. It's not enough to take off sunscreen, you'd have to double or triple cleanse

Reasonable
This is a fine cleanser but leaves me feeling a little dry. It's the HG for a lot of people but I only use it at night and I feel facial tightness immediately. It is genuinely an okay cleanser and does take off makeup/SPF adequately but I'm still looking for something a little more... exciting and moisturizing.
