How to use

Scoop a pearl-sized amount. Massage gently onto dry skin in a circular motion. Rinse well and pat dry. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs rinse thoroughly with water. Complete your cleansing routine with your favorite CeraVe cleanse.

Red does not mean poison. Preservatives that stop a product going off, UV filters and fragrance can land on yellow or red depending on their score.

Green does not mean right for you. Skin and allergies differ from person to person. Treat the color as a starting point.
