CeraVe Foaming Cleanser Is $15.97 Live — Hydrating Hits $15.48 While Our Catalog Still Says $8.97
Live Amazon.com from NYC: CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser 16 fl oz is $15.97 ($1.00/fl oz). CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser 16 oz is $15.48 ($0.97/fl oz). Our Hydrating card still says $8.97 — $6.51 too low today. Pick by skin type, not the stale card.

Verdict: The CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser 16 fl oz is $15.97 live on Amazon.com — $1.00 per fluid ounce. The CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser 16 oz is $15.48 live — $0.97 per fluid ounce. Same brand family, same bottle size, about forty-nine cents apart. Our catalog has Foaming right at $15.97. Hydrating still shows $8.97, which is $6.51 too low today. Buy by skin type. Do not buy Hydrating because our card still looks like a clearance steal.
I cover fashion and beauty from New York, and I checked both pages with a 10001 delivery address this morning. I am not running a pore camera or inventing a pH lab chart. Both are drugstore CeraVe face washes with ceramides and hyaluronic acid on the label. The question is which bottle matches your skin and what Amazon is actually charging today.
What it is
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser (B01N1LL62W) is the gel-foam wash aimed at oily skin: niacinamide, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, fragrance-free, 16 fl oz. Live one-time price $15.97 against a list of $18.99 (about 16% off). Amazon prints $1.00 / fluid ounce. Shipped and sold by Amazon.com, In Stock, 4.8 stars from 76,633 ratings. Our catalog card matches at $15.97.
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (B01MSSDEPK) is the creamier wash aimed at dry to normal skin: hyaluronic acid, ceramides, non-foaming feel, fragrance-free, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1). Live one-time price $15.48 against a list of $18.99 (about 18% off). Amazon prints $0.97 / fluid ounce. Shipped and sold by Amazon.com, In Stock, 4.7 stars from 133,621 ratings. Our catalog card still says $8.97. That number would make Hydrating look like a half-price win against Foaming. Live, it is almost the same checkout total.
Who it's for
Buy the Foaming cleanser at $15.97 if your face gets shiny by lunch, you like a true foam rinse, and you already know CeraVe's gel wash. The catalog is not lying about this ASIN today.
Buy the Hydrating cleanser at $15.48 if your skin runs dry or tight after a foaming wash, or if you want the slightly lower per-ounce Amazon line. Ignore our $8.97 card until it updates — the live buy box is $15.48, not a hidden eight-dollar deal.
Who should skip
Skip Hydrating if you opened our catalog and thought $8.97 was the live price — it is not. Skip Foaming if foam strips you and you already bounce to a cream cleanser. Skip both if you wanted a micellar water, a balm, or a salicylic acne wash; those are different aisles and we have covered micellar separately.
Honest nits
- Our Hydrating card is stale. Live is $15.48, not $8.97. Foaming's card is current at $15.97. Always read the per-fluid-ounce line Amazon prints under the price.
- Skin type beats a forty-nine-cent gap. Foaming vs Hydrating is foam for oil vs cream for dry. That is not a fake lab score. It is the reason CeraVe sells two bottles.
- Ratings blobs are close. Foaming 4.8 / 76k. Hydrating 4.7 / 133k. I will not invent a moisture-meter chart from those averages.
- Both are Amazon buy boxes today. No third-party seller surprise on either card when I checked from NYC.
Value verdict
Pick by skin type, then price. If you are oily, buy Foaming at $15.97. If you are dry or normal, buy Hydrating at $15.48 — it also wins the printed unit rate at $0.97/fl oz vs $1.00. Do not chase our $8.97 Hydrating card; that number is $6.51 behind the live buy box.
Is a creamier rinse worth saving about fifty cents and matching dry skin? Yes, if that is your face. Is an eight-dollar catalog mirage worth a cart click? No.
