What it is
CeraVe Hydrating Makeup Removing Plant-Based Wipes remove dirt, oil and makeup, including waterproof mascara, with no rinsing.
Key ingredients
- Ceramides (NP, AP and EOP): CeraVe says they help restore the skin’s natural barrier and keep moisture in.
- Glycerin: A humectant that helps skin stay hydrated.
How to use
Gently swipe over the face. No rinsing needed.
Who should be careful
Wipes leave some residue behind, so a rinse-off cleanser is still worth using when you can. Don’t flush them; CeraVe says to compost them at home.
What the brand claims
CeraVe says they’re ophthalmologist tested, allergy tested and suitable for contact lens wearers.
