CeraVe
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
Formulated with three ceramides in roughly the same ratio your skin barrier naturally uses, so it replaces protective lipids as it cleans instead of stripping them like most foaming cleansers do.
Uses coconut-derived surfactants chosen specifically to clean thoroughly without the harsh sulfates that compromise barrier function over time.
