CeraVe Cleansing Balm for Sensitive Skin | Hydrating Makeup Remover with Ceramides and Plant-based Jojoba Oil for Face | Non-Comedogenic Fragrance Free Non-Greasy |1.3 Ounces

Excellent for people who use Retin-A and stubborn sunscreen
I have been using Cerave products for decades and they have helped me manage my various skin conditions: dry skin, sensitive skin, keratosis pilaris, and occasional breakouts. They are easy to find, effective, and fit in my budget. Having said that, everyone’s skin, preferences, and budget are different, so as a point of reference, I am a middle-aged woman who uses Retin-A which causes my skin to be sensitive and can be drying. I learned about double cleansing from Dr. Dray, a board-certified dermatologist, who has her own YouTube channel. I am a fanatic about sunscreen, and some types of sunscreen are harder to remove than others. The double cleanse method of using an oil-based cleanser followed by a mild cleanser makes sure all sunscreen, dirt, oil, and makeup are removed in a gentle, non-drying way. I have used different cleansing oils and there is one that I still buy and use regularly, but here’s what I appreciate about Cerave Cleansing Balm:It’s solid at room temperature, so it will travel well and not potentially cause a mess like an oil could.It’s a small container (1.3 oz) perfect for travel and the container can be washed and reused when empty.A little goes a long way; it should last a long time if using the amount indicated – a pearl-sized amount.No irritating ingredients, fragrance, or essential oils.Has a very mild scent that does not linger and I do not find off-putting at all.Removes my stubborn sunscreen without scrubbing, irritation, or stripping all moisture.Rinses off easily without leaving a residue.Leaves my skin moisturized but not at all sticky, oily, or greasy.I follow up with the Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser and my skin feels plump and moisturized even before I put on any moisturizer.For people who say they thought the jar would be bigger, the amount of product (1.3 oz) is listed in the very title of the product and in the description, and the price gives the breakdown per ounce, so neither Amazon nor Cerave were trying to conceal the size. For people who say it irritated their eyes, the description clearly states, “Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.” I know most of us don’t have a lot of extra time, but it does pay to slow down and read a bit more closely. Currently the price has dropped to $9.47 from $13.99 which is $4.52 cheaper and a good deal for a quality product. I will definitely buy it again and again – especially at the lower price – and enjoy the results. Good luck!Update: This arrived on August 22nd and I used it almost every night. I used more than a pearl-sized amount each time and it lasted until November 5th, so more than two months with every day use.

Small but mighty!
It’s my fault for not researching this size of the jar, but it’s much smaller than anticipated. I thought this as a less expensive alternative to a premium brand that I had been using. When comparing cost per ounce, it’s actually not cheaper than the premium brand at all. With that being said, I’ll likely go back to my other brand. This works incredibly well, has no scent and leaves skin feeling hydrated after use. It does seem to take some effort to rinse off as it feels extremely oily/greasy once the water hits it. However it doesn’t leave your face feeling that way once rinsed completely and dried. Great product just not sure about the value for cost.

Cleanses without dryness
I have been using a very expensive pre cleansing oil as part of a double cleanse routine. It did a great job but became increasingly (ridiculously) expensive. So I decided to give thisCerave a try. I’ve used it twice now and I love it. It removes my sticky sunscreen and makeup and leaves my skin clean and very soft. No dryness or tight feeling. I follow up with a moisturizing facial cleanser. I am loving this Cerave makeup remover cleansing balm….. better than my old $70 precleansing oil. Thank you Cerave!

Perfect for taking make up off and cleansing your faceI have tried other balms and have had irritation to my eyesThis balm is perfect for sensitive skin and caused no irritation to my eyesHighly recommend

Product is good to use. Easily takes off any waterproof make up and skin feels good. Higly recommend.

It takes off makeup as said. Eye makeup be careful as it irritates eyes if you are sensitive
