Acne Control Cleanser

This is the only face wash that has curbed and HEALED my extremely stubborn hormonal acne. I had been having super painful cystic acne on my forehead, temples, and cheeks and this wiped it all out. More than that, it has encouraged cell turnover and my skin is finally starting to get rid of scarring. It’s so foamy and makes your skin soft and balanced. It really helps with sebaceous filaments too in the t zone! It’s the perfect amount of strength without drying your skin out, just follow it up with toner and a good moisturizer! (I use witch hazel and equate moisturizer) I wash my face in the AM & PM and it really helps my skin a TON. It does purge, but it’s worth it. Your confidence will go up and your skin will thank you. Just buy it!

CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser has been one of the best additions to my skincare routine. The 2% salicylic acid really helps keep breakouts under control without being overly harsh. I noticed clearer skin and fewer clogged pores after consistent use. What I love most is that it doesn’t strip my skin. The niacinamide and ceramides make a big difference — my face feels clean but not tight or dry afterward. It balances oil well without overdoing it. It lathers nicely, rinses clean, and feels gentle enough for regular use. If you’re dealing with acne but still want something that supports your skin barrier, this is absolutely worth trying. Easy 5 stars.

For reference, my skin type is oily, and this cleanser has honestly been a game changer for me. It keeps my skin feeling clean without stripping it, which is hard to find with acne products. Even though it targets breakouts, it’s still moisturizing and helps protect my skin barrier instead of leaving it tight or irritated. It’s very gentle and works well for daily use, including morning and night. My skin feels noticeably softer after washing, not dry or squeaky. It does a great job cleaning off oil and buildup, and my face actually feels fresh afterward. I also haven’t had any issues with leaking from the bottle, which is a nice bonus. Overall, my skin feels clean, balanced, and calmer since using this, and it’s easily become a staple in my routine.

I'm always amazed that such a great product for your skin isn't an insane amount of money. Every dermatologist I've ever been to recommends CeraVe for your face. It cleans well without drying out my skin and takes off my makeup with out needed a scrub. I keep one bottle in my shower and one on my counter.

I have oily, acne-prone skin, so I chose this gel because it's a well-known brand. I've been using it for several days now, and I can say that it removes almost all the oil from my face, to the point that it dries out my skin and can even be abrasive. I don't recommend using it daily if you find it too drying. Currently, I use it 3 to 4 times a week and alternate it with a milder gel. It leaves your skin feeling completely clean, but also dry after a few days, even after applying moisturizer.

Best of the best. I’ve struggled with acne my entire life, and I’m 34. Enough was enough. I can’t use benzoyl peroxide - it makes me break out wise. So I tried this. It smells good, it’s a smooth texture that sudses up pretty well, and it doesn’t have much of a smell. The smell it does have is light and faint. My acne has never been better. It cleans well and prevents breakouts much better than other products I’ve used before, and it doesn’t over-dry my skin like a lot of other products do, especially when you use this in combination with other cerave skincare products. It also contains ingredients to help restore your skins natural barrier which helps your skin look better and stay healthy. This works great as a part of your regimen.

This and the benzol one are my two faves I get hormonal breakout with regular space ones when I have my monthly visit from mother nature lol but here's the thing using salicylic during is better the benzoyl peroxide it's gentler and on top of that this salicylic product has been better than many I have tried in the market that are pricey even same with ceraves benzol wash 10% and it is also because each one treats different acnes my cystic like ones a randomly get I start with bezol is what I fight my hormonal acnes but salicylic ceravae helps with my bacteria build up and normal acne so choose what works best for me I love to pair this with the ceravae benzoyl 10% too
