Tread with caution - Loaded with Propylene Glycol
I am one of the biggest supporters and users of almost all Cerave products. I am currently using the Hydrating Cleanser, Renewing Lotion and Eczema Body wash. My 2 year old uses the Baby Wash and Baby lotion from Cerave. So far, this foaming facial cleanser is the only Cerave product that I have a serious concern with. The 7th ingredient is 'Propylene Glycol' and it may sound like not a lot but think it this way - all the good stuff like hyaluronic acid & all Ceramides are after Propylene Glycol. Whatever good is going to come from the 'good' stuff will be mitigated by PG. Propylene Glycol is a know skin sensitiser and you can ready plenty about it on Google or elsewhere. If you have sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea/eczema/psoriasis, this cleanser will sting your skin and /or cause a rash or acne in the very first week. If you have normal skin, it will eventually sensitive your skin and it will thereafter start reacting to PG. I just don't understand why a super awesome brand like Cerave can't use something better like Butylene Glycol instead. I have written to them but they have not reacted. I seriously hope they can replace this ingredient with a safer ingredient as I really need a foaming facial cleanser and it kills me to use other brands.
