Product Information

CeraVe’s refreshing Foaming Cleanser is suitable for normal to oily skin and can be used on the face, body and hands. This refreshing, foaming gel gently removes dirt and oil without irritating or stripping the skin of hydration. Right before menstruation, oestrogen and progesterone fall and testosterone predominates, which can also increase sebum production in the skin. And during the menopause there are also a number of changes in the hormones that can lead to breakouts.'

Simply add water to create a cooling foam that calms combination, oily or acne-prone skin. It was the best-smelling cleanser on test, and our panel enjoyed the lather it created, as it wasn’t too foamy or stripping. How does a skincare brand break the internet? You could ask The Ordinary, which everyone seems to have an opinion on. Or you could look to the likes of Glossier and Fenty Skin, who have hooked their cult-like followings via relatable marketing and hyper-covetable design. Getting plenty of sleep, eating a well-balanced diet consisting of leafy greens, fish and probiotics, drinking at least eight glasses of water a day and laying off alcohol and cigarettes is all common lifestyle advice for clearer, better skin. If you do get a blemish, try not to touch your face – especially your chin, which naturally produces more oil and sebum – and never squeeze, as this can cause scarring.” - Medical director Dr Ross Perry Be ready to react
