A Guide to Which CeraVe Products You Should Use, According to Your Skin Type

Dry skin tends to lose moisture and needs help maintaining a healthy skin barrier through long-lasting hydration. Look for hydrating cleansers and moisturizers, as well as products with ceramides in them to restore your moisture barrier. A hyaluronic acid serum is also a good product to turn to in this instance, and it can be layered under your moisturizer for added hydration.

The CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser ($11) is gentle on skin while still being strong enough to remove dirt and makeup, and it features hyaluronic acid to help the skin maintain its moisture barrier.

The hyaluronic acid-infused CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion ($5) contains a lightweight consistency but is loaded with ceramides to keep your skin hydrated for 24 hours.

The CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum ($17) smooths and softens the skin while using a vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid-rich formula to deliver optimal moisture.

People with oily skin need help with one thing: regulating sebum production. Look for cleansers with gentle exfoliating acids (like salicylic acid) that unclog pores and remove excess oil. With moisturizers, look for a lightweight formula that won't leave the skin feeling greasy. Niacinamide, which is a callout ingredient in the brand's night moisturizer, also helps to control excess sebum production.

The CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser ($14) features salicylic acid to dissolve dirt and grime and niacinamide, a star ingredient known for helping to calm irritated skin and regulating oil production.

The oil-free CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion ($12) features a lightweight formula that's ideal for oily skin, and it keeps the skin moisturized throughout the day without the greasy feel.

As the name suggests, normal skin sits right in the middle of both ends of the spectrum: it's not too oily and it's not too dry, but you should still pay attention to the products you use. Make sure your skin is regularly receiving the proper amount of moisture, as well as protection from harmful outside elements.

Washing away dirt, oil, and makeup has never been so easy. The CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser ($15) will give you a thorough cleanse without drying out your skin thanks to the formula's water-attracting amino acids.

The CeraVe Hydrating Micellar Cleansing Water ($10) is a multitasking product that cleanses and removes makeup from the skin while also hydrating and protecting your moisture barrier.

The CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Face Lotion With Sunscreen ($15) is a lightweight, non-oily moisturizer that provides daily sun protection.

If your skin is acne-prone, it's always best to consult with a dermatologist on a skin-care routine since breakouts can be caused by a handful of different things. The main thing to focus on with this skin type is treating the blemishes with gentle exfoliators, and maintaining your moisture barrier with lightweight lotions that won't clog pores.

Benzoyl peroxide, a known acne-fighting ingredient, is the star of the CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser ($12). The product also features niacinamide, and is made to dissolve dirt and excess oil without being too harsh on the skin.

CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum ($18) works to get rid of uneven skin tone and acne marks, and it contains retinol and licorice extract to help brighten the skin.
