Common questions

Is CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser healthy?

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser?

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser lists 24 ingredients, starting with Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol and Stearyl Alcohol. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser?

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser compare to other facial cleanser?

At 15/100 CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser scores worse than most facial cleanser we have scored. A higher-scoring option in facial cleanser is Honey Girl Organics Organic Rose Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover at 100/100.

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser is not certified organic in our data.
