What does a cleanser do?

A cleanser is a skincare product designed to gently lift oil, dirt, sweat, dead skin cells, and makeup from the skin’s surface. These impurities are then carried away with rinsing. A good cleanser will help prevent the accumulation of residue while leaving the skin’s barrier intact.All CeraVe cleansers are formulated with three essential ceramides to lock in moisture and help maintain your protective skin barrier. They also feature beneficial ingredients to help target specific concerns and support healthy-looking skin, such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and salicylic acid.

How often should I wash my face?

Ideally, you should wash your face twice daily, once in the morning and again in the evening. You might also consider cleansing after any activity where your face becomes visibly covered with sweat. However, it’s important to remember that every individual’s skin is unique and the right cleansing frequency may vary based on your skin’s needs. When in doubt, speak to your dermatologist about how often to cleanse.

How long should I leave a cleanser on my face?

This can vary from cleanser to cleanser. Always read the product's packaging carefully and apply per the instructions. When washing your face, remember to apply your cleanser in a circular motion using your fingertips (without pulling or tugging too harshly on your face). Once finished, rinse the cleanser thoroughly with lukewarm water and lightly pat your skin dry using a clean, soft towel.
