What does a clay facial cleanser do?
For centuries, clay masks have been used to cleanse, and soothe skin.1 This is because clays, like kaolin, have a large surface area, ionic charge, and porosity, enabling them to absorb to help reduce excess shine.2 The CeraVe Clay-to-Foam Cleanser takes it a step further, helping to improve the appearance of pores and gently cleanse, without stripping skin of its essential moisture.
-
Is clay face wash good for the face?
Yes! Many products use clay to help manage oily skin.2 And kaolin clay has shown to be especially gentle, even on sensitive and dry skin.1 Clay facial cleanser has also been shown to help improve the look of both skin tone and hydration.2
-
Does clay really clean pores?
Yes! Oily or acne-prone skin can leave skin looking shiny and pores enlarged.2 A clay infused product, like CeraVe Clay-to-Foam Cleanser, helps absorb excess oil to help clear up breakouts and prevent new ones from forming, all while soothing skin and providing up to 24 hours of hydration. Plus, it can be used in multiple ways: as a clay face cleanser, a mask, and an overnight spot treatment.

How do I choose the best CeraVe face wash for my skin?
Finding the right CeraVe cleanser for your daily routine begins with understanding your skin type. Some types of cleansers may be better suited for your skin type than others. Water-based, foaming face washes—like CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser—tend to be popular options among those with oily skin and acne-prone skin. Foaming formulas usually offer a deep cleanse feel and can be especially effective at removing excess sebum (oil) from the skin’s surface.
Meanwhile, people with dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin often prefer non-foaming or lightly-foaming cleansers with a creamier texture, as these may feel more nourishing and gentle on the skin. For dry skin, we recommend trying CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, which gently cleanses and refreshes the skin without disrupting the skin barrier. When in doubt, a board-certified dermatologist can help recommend the best facial cleanser for your skin’s needs. -
Which CeraVe face cleanser should I use for rough and bumpy skin?
For rough, uneven skin texture, try CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser. This salicylic acid face cleanser gently exfoliates and smooths your skin’s surface without disrupting the skin’s protective barrier. Or, if you prefer a convenient bar soap formula, you can also try CeraVe SA Cleanser Bar. The soap-free formula provides both chemical exfoliation (with salicylic acid) and physical exfoliation (with spherical jojoba beads) to smooth and soften rough, bumpy skin. It gently sweeps away dead skin cells while thoroughly removing dirt and oil from your skin’s surface.
