After years of focusing mainly on gel or foam moisturizers and cleansers, CeraVe finally has the product that was missing from its range: the new CeraVe Cleansing Balm, a makeup removing balm designed to remove makeup, sebum, impurities and sunscreens without compromising the skin barrier.
The launch took place at the same time as the new CeraVe Comforting Eye Makeup Remover, thus creating a real double cleaning proposal: a makeup remover dedicated to the eyes and a richer face balm, designed to replace traditional oily formulas, but in a lighter version, dermatologically controlled and also suitable for sensitive skin.
The CeraVe Cleansing Balm fits into the rapidly growing segment of cleansing balm makeup removers, chosen by those who want effective make-up removal in a single step, without greasy residues and without irritation.
Cerave Cleansing Balm
Cerave Cleansing Balm has been designed to offer the effectiveness of a cleansing balm combined with the convenience of an all-in-one cleansing cream capable of eliminating every trace of makeup and impurities. Effective even on makeup Long-lasting, the cleanser promises to remove dirt and excess sebum, leaving skin pleasantly soft and silky.
But also discover the Cerave Comforting Eye Makeup Remover if you love a lighter but still milky texture.
CeraVe Cleansing Balm is a makeup-removing balm that comes in the form of a soft, solid cream that melts onto the skin upon contact and dissolves foundation, lipstick, SPF, sebum and impurities.
This is an all-in-one cleanser, perfect for:
- remove long-lasting makeup
- perform an initial cleansing (step 1 of double cleansing)
- cleanse the skin without drying or greasing it
- respect even the most delicate or reactive skin
It contains no perfume, alcohol, parabens, soap or essential oils, thus reducing the risk of irritation.
The Formula: ceramides + jojoba oil + gentle cleansing
The conditioner was formulated with three ceramides essential which help protect the skin's natural protective barrier. We also find Jojoba oil which helps keep the skin soft and elastic during cleansing.
The Make-up Removing Balm is suitable for all skin types, including the most delicate and sensitive ones. The formula is soap-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, alcohol-free and allergy-tested. It is non-comedogenic so it is also suitable for combination and oily skin.

Using the product is really simple, just take a small amount of product and gently massage it on dry skin with circular movements. Then proceed with rinsing.

You can then complete your cleansing routine with your favorite CeraVe detergent (or other brand).

It is not formulated to be used as a direct eye makeup remover → in that case, it is better to combine it with CeraVe Comforting Eye Makeup Remover.

What is striking about the balm is undoubtedly its very small packaging. It is in fact a sort of mini size 36 g. It is certainly a very practical product to carry with you when traveling and the brand will probably also offer a larger size later, as it has already done with other proposals.
