Between makeup residue and sweat and dirt buildup, your face goes through a lot during the day — even if you don’t notice. That’s why cleansing your face is the first step to any good skincare routine. Regardless of your skin type, finding the right face wash is the key to bright and glowing skin.

This CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser is an excellent choice, and it’s a favorite of our editor Kayleigh. It cleanses, hydrates and protects the skin all at the same time, and best of all, it’s currently on sale for 26% off!

Infused with ceramides, hyaluronic acid and glycerin, this CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser works to remove makeup, dirt and excess oil. It also protects the skin’s barrier and has a lotion-like feel and consistency. Just massage it into your skin with water and watch all the impurities wash away, leaving behind smooth skin.

This cleanser is developed by dermatologists, and it’s fragrance and paraben free. You can also pair it with other CeraVe products, like the moisturizing lotion and the makeup removing cleanser balm, for even better results.

Amazon reviewers of all skin types are constantly reaching for this product during their skincare routines. “This is the only facial cleanser that my husband and I use. It was suggested by a nurse practitioner for its cleansing abilities, but most importantly that it does not strip your skin of moisture,” says one reviewer. “It is both effective and a good value compared to other lotion cleansers and leaves my skin soft and ready for serum and moisturizer.”

Finding a cleanser that meshes well with your skin type and hydrates might feel far-fetched, but this one truly does it all. You don’t even have to break the bank either — right now, you can get this 16-ounce bottle for under $15!

Sometimes, the best products are the most affordable ones. So, start your daily skincare routine off right with this CeraVe cleanser.
