They changed the CeraVe cleanser. Didn’t ask us.
The real issue? The texture. It’s thinner now — slides right through your fingers. People are noticing.
It’s the drugstore staple. Still around $15. The claim is “non-foaming” and “hydrating.” I needed to see if it still was.
New Pump
A full lock now. No more travel leaks.
No More Parabens
The big reformulation call-out.
Same Ceramides
Still has the trio for your skin barrier.

It’s a cocktail of barrier-repair stuff. The ceramides are the heroes — they’re like mortar for your skin’s bricks. Hyaluronic acid is the thirsty friend.
- Ceramides 1, 3, 6-II: Repair the skin barrier
- Hyaluronic Acid: Holds water at the surface
- Glycerin: Classic humectant, pulls in moisture
- Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate/Sebacate: The new, gentler cleansing agent

Feels like a light lotion. Not creamy. Leaves a faint, slick film — not residue, just a hint of slip.
After two weeks, my skin felt…fine. Not better, not worse. The surprise? It doesn’t remove sunscreen well anymore. You’ll need a first cleanse.
Zero tightness after washing. That’s the win. But it also doesn’t feel as nourishing as the old one. Just neutral.
It’s fine. The reformulation feels like a lateral move for compliance, not an upgrade. The old one was a bit better.
