CeraVe Acne Treatment Face Wash, Salicylic Acid Cleanser with Purifying Clay, Niacinamide, and Ceramides, Pore Control and Blackhead Remover, 8 Ounce

Absolutely love this item! I struggle with acne and blackheads. I have tried what feels like a million different products. The first night I used this, I woke up to smoother, healthier skin. My pores and blackheads have disappeared completely! I still have the occasional pimple, but they have become easier to pop and less painful, while using this product. Keep in mind I’ve only been using it for 5 days. The product does have a slight smell that bothers my nose, but it goes undetected after rinsing. Highly recommend trying this!

I've hit that awkward midlife round of hormonal changes and found myself breaking out like I was a teen again. It had been so long since I dealt with a pimple, I forgot what it was like and how to keep them at bay. No longer a teen or young, I needed a cleanser strong enough to handle this annoying issue, but also one that would be kind to my ever changing (maturing) and sensitive skin. A quick search on Amazon and scouring the reviews, this product seemed like it would work for me. AND it does. This cleanser has kept my skin clear, shrunk my pores (didn't even realize I needed that), all while not drying out my aging skin. Plus, my sensitive skin didn't even mind. Excellent product and good value.

I've been trying acne products for years and, honestly, this has been a radical change in my skin. Its formula is gentle but effective: it cleans deeply, eliminating excess fat and impurities without drying out. From the first week I noticed my face less inflamed and with fewer outbreaks.The texture is light, makes a pleasant foam and leaves a feeling of immediate freshness. In addition, it has a mild aroma and nothing invasive, which I appreciate very much. The best thing is that it does not irritate and I can use it twice a day without problems.In a few weeks my skin looks more uniform, with less redness and much more luminous. If you are looking for a cleanser that really works against acne and takes care of your skin at the same time, this is the one. An essential in my routine!

In 12 hours, overnight, my breakout issue is vastly improving. I’m one evening and one morning cleanse in.I lean rosacea with breakouts. A tough combo to treat. The breakouts are disappearing this am, former angry spots are smaller and sloughing off - the swelling and redness is diminished, less inflamed.I tried many, most far more expensive that weren’t working.It’s not exactly ‘drying’ like non-cream others, it’s softer. I do feel like pores are tighter, but my skin is not. It’s comfortable. Overnight, my T Zone had surface oil - so I cleansed again this morning. This leaves a matte finish and really takes care of that - meaning no shine zones.It doesn’t leave a perceptible residue, but doesn’t ‘strip’ skin either. I felt a smoothness upon rising it off that was nice, but dry upon blotting water away. Feels ‘clean,’ not tight.It dissolves and removes the SA peel-slough from former breakout areas gently. I was using my fingers in circular motions, nothing ferocious.It’s not really foamy, but does mini-foam more than non-foaming cream cleansers recommended for rosacea (that tended to break me out). It’s definitely less foamy than gel ‘foaming’ cleansers. Is quasi-foam a thing? Let’s just say it’s pleasantly, very slightly foamy, no more, no less.There’s zero scent.The cleanser is clear to very light griege (due to beneficial clay I guess?).It opens and closes with a 1/4 nozzle twist easily.The pump dispenses a small, but face and neck ample dollop, about dime size - well done there!The container isn’t the most attractive, it’s opaque white and branded overtly - so, every viewer sees ‘acne’ on approach. Lol.25X skin magnification: there’s less buildup or visible pores, no white or blackheads I can see. I was getting these daily, tiny, white random pustules in areas of rosacea flare. Ew! Gone now - yay. Surface capillaries are less inflamed. Older breakouts are peeling away. Inflamed or bumpy areas have leveled. Skin tone is more uniform and less ’rosacea’ in appearance. I hope I’m pleasantly human hued in another few days.It’s Day 1.A few times in the past, new products have this effect then, skin re-tantrums into its bad behavior. So, I’ll update this in a month, but I’m really impressed so far. Overnight, it abated what felt like an uncomfortable, unsightly flare up that wasn’t resolving. I’m glad I purchased the larger volume ‘value’ size.Though everyone U.S. uniquely different, I don’t think you’d regret this. The only match to it for me, so far, was an insanely priced esthetician brand line with way too many steps. This is wash and go, easy, very economical considering. Happy I tried it.I hope this review helps.

By far, I can say this has been the best acne cleanser I've used among others! I started about a year and a half ago, and it has reduced the acne by about 60%! I would get acne from the birth control I am on, and I used to get those cysts on my jawline. Sometimes pimples would appear on my chin here and there, as well as on my cheeks, etc. I HATED it!!!!! I may get one here and there, but not as much! Now I don't get the cysts anymore at all thk God! I use this product every morning before applying makeup and faithfully at night after removing it for the full benefits. Be mindful, it will dry your face if you don't follow with a moisturizer with SPF. Now, the only thing I need to do is work on removing the dark spots caused by the acne. Using makeup to cover is okay, but there are days when I don't want to wear it. However, overall, I'm satisfied and will continue to use this product!

This is a must-have item to keep your skin healthy. I highly recommend it for skin protection and removing acnes
