CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser Review: The Drugstore Classic That Still Impresses

Simple, dependable, and dermatologist-loved — the CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser is one of those products that quietly earns a permanent spot in your bathroom shelf. It's fragrance-free, fuss-free, and refreshingly effective for oily or combination skin.
Texture & Feel
It begins as a clear gel that transforms into a light foam, cutting through oil without that tight, stripped finish. Skin feels balanced — clean, but comfortable.
Ingredients That Matter
Infused with ceramides and niacinamide, it protects the skin barrier while calming redness. No harsh surfactants, no unnecessary scent.
Results After Two Weeks
Expect clearer pores, smoother texture, and less midday shine. It’s not glamorous, but it’s gold-standard functional skincare.
Verdict
At around $12, it’s a masterclass in simple science-led formulation. Perfect for everyday cleansing or as a second cleanse at night.
