I recently received an email from a longtime reader who, while madly in love with a variety of luxury skincare products, wanted a suggestion for affordable drugstore facial cleansers and sunscreens. She said that she sought them not as a replacement for her favorites, but instead because she was spending so much money on on her luxury brands the she wanted to make her bottles last longer by incorporating some simple and affordable cleansers and sunscreens into her current rotation. With this in mind, I thought that I would share a few CeraVe cleansers and sunscreens that I have found particularly effective, gentle and pleasant to use. CeraVe makes solid performing fuss-free products that do what they claim, are affordable, and are easy to find.

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser ($14.99 for 12 oz. from Ulta, Amazon, Target, Dermstore, Walgreens and Walmart): This fragrance-free, milky gel-like cleanser is a very gentle and non-lathering face wash that thoroughly cleans the skin without any stripping, drying, and without leaving a greasy residue. It leaves skin soft, smooth, supple hydrated and very comfortable. It is perfect for sensitive and normal to dry skin types.

According to CeraVe,

The goal of effective cleansing is to loosen and remove dirt, germs, excess oils, dead cells, cosmetics and medication residues without irritating the skin or drawing away needed moisture. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser gently cleanses the skin while helping to maintain the right moisture balance. It is proven to prevent moisture from escaping (evaporating) from the skin's surface. Its fragrance-free, moisturizing formulation is non-irritating and noncomedogenic (does not cause pimples or acne by clogging the pores).

Like all CeraVe Skincare products, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser offers the benefits of unique, patented MVE delivery technology, which provides a controlled release of essential ceramides and other skin-nurturing and protective ingredients slowly over time. The unique ingredients in CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser help restore and maintain the natural protective function of the skin, help restore damaged skin and help keep skin healthy.

Ingredients: Purified Water, Glycerin, Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6-11, Ceramide 1, Hyaluronic Acid, Cholesterol, Polyoxyl 40 Stearate, Glyceryl Monostearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Phosphate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Cetyl Alcohol, Disodium EDTA, Phytosphingosine, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum.

CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser ($14.99 for 12 oz. from Ulta, Amazon, Target, Walmart, Walgreens and Dermstore): If you prefer a lathering cleanser, then this fragrance-free gentle foaming cleanser, that is formulated for normal to oily skin, is a really good choice. This hydrating formula thoroughly cleans the skin without stripping or drying, and it is gentle enough for sensitive skin. It can also be used as a body cleanser as well.

According to CeraVe,

Use daily morning and night to gently remove dirt, oil and makeup without disrupting the skin's natural protective barrier. Never drying, ceramides help moisturize, restore and maintain the skin's natural protective function. Its unique, patented MVE formulation releases ceramides and other essential ingredients throughout the day, so they penetrate deep into skin to hydrate and nourish. While hyaluronic acid (a humectant) attracts moisture to the top layer of the skin, ensuring skin remains hydrated after washing.

Ingredients: Purified Water, Glycerin, Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6-II, Ceramide 1, Hyaluronic Acid, Cholesterol, Polyoxyl 40 Stearate, Glyceryl Monostearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Phosphate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Cetyl Alcohol, Disodium EDTA, Phytosphingosine, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum.

CeraVe Hydrating Cleanse Bar ($4.79-$9.99 from Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walgreens, Walmart and Amazon): If you love rich and creamy bar soaps that are hydrating, gentle and non-stripping, then this one is a real treat to use.
