The CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser (16 fl. oz.) is the maximum value-size bottle of this dermatologist-developed daily wash, designed specifically for dry, very dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin.
The 16 fluid ounce bottle features a convenient pump dispenser and is highly sought after because it offers the most economical cost-per-ounce. Its large capacity makes it ideal for household multi-use, allowing you to use it comfortably as both a daily facial cleanser and a nourishing full-body wash in the shower.
How the "Oil-to-Foam" Technology Works
Traditional foaming washes can strip away natural lipids, leaving dry skin feeling tight, while pure cleansing oils don't lather and require a second face wash to remove the residue. This hybrid formula solves both problems:
- It dispenses as a smooth, lightweight oil-gel.
- When massaged onto damp skin, it transforms into a soft, comforting, bubbling foam.
- It uses oil-based properties to effortlessly dissolve surface dirt, excess sebum, and face makeup, while ultra-mild surfactants rinse it all away completely residue-free with water.
Key Active Ingredients
The formula focuses on deeply nourishing the skin and repairing a compromised moisture barrier:
- 3 Essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): CeraVe’s signature ingredient blend that mimics the skin's natural lipids to lock in moisture and protect the outer skin barrier.
- Squalane Oil & Triglycerides: Plant-derived, skin-identical emollients that replenish surface lipids, leaving a comforted, non-greasy after-feel.
- Hyaluronic Acid: A powerful humectant that pulls water to the skin's surface, ensuring your skin feels completely hydrated rather than stripped after washing.
Skin Suitability & Safety
- Non-Comedogenic: Even though it is an oil-based formula, it will not clog pores or trigger acne flare-ups.
- Sensitive Skin Approved: It is completely fragrance-free, soap-free, paraben-free, and pH-balanced.
- Eczema & Baby Safe: It holds the National Eczema Association (NEA) Seal of Acceptance. It is gentle enough to be used on the whole family, including babies aged 3 months and up.
How to Use
- Wet your skin with lukewarm water.
- Dispense a pump of the oil cleanser into wet hands and rub them together to activate the mild lather.
- Gently massage the soft foam over your face, neck, or body.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with a clean towel. Follow immediately with your favorite daily moisturizer to seal in the hydration.
