What is the CeraVe Cleanser Quiz?
The CeraVe Cleanser Quiz is an interactive digital tool designed to help you navigate our dermatologically-tested range of facial cleansers available in Canada. By answering a few simple questions about your skin type (oily, dry, or combination) and specific concerns (such as acne, dryness or oiliness) you will get a personalized recommendation of a CeraVe cleanser for your daily routine, from the #1 dermatologist-recommended facial cleanser brand in Canada*.

How long does the quiz take?
We know your time is valuable. This mobile-friendly quiz is designed to be quick and efficient, typically taking less than 1 minute (2–5 questions) to provide your personalized cleansing recommendation. -
Why should I use the Cleanser Quiz instead of just picking any face wash?
The foundation of any skincare routine starts with the right cleanse. While all CeraVe cleansers contain three essential ceramides (EOP, NP, AP) to help restore the skin’s natural barrier, different textures and active ingredients serve different purposes:
Foaming Cleansers: Ideal for normal to oily skin to remove excess oil without disrupting the protective skin barrier.
Hydrating Cleansers: Best for normal to dry skin, providing a non-foaming lotion texture that cleanses and moisturizes.
Targeted Formulas: The tool identifies if you need SA (Salicylic Acid) for smoothing rough skin or specific formulas for acne-prone or sensitive skin. -
Can I buy the recommended products immediately?
Yes. Once the Product Finder suggests your ideal match, we provide direct links to our authorized retail partners in Canada. -
Does this replace a consultation with a dermatologist?
This tool is intended for educational and informational purposes only. At CeraVe, we work closely with Canadian dermatologists, but if you have a severe skin condition, persistent irritation, or a specific medical concern, we always recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a personalized clinical diagnosis.
