CeraVeAcne Control Cleanser, 2% Salicylic Acid Treatment Formulated With Niacinamide + Ceramides + Oil Absorbing Clay, Gentle Face Wash Helps Clear & Prevent Acne, Fragrance Free, 16 Ounce

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.

The CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser has worked wonders for my skin. It’s formulated with 2% salicylic acid, which really helps keep breakouts under control without drying out my face. What I love most is how gentle it is—it doesn’t strip my skin or leave it feeling tight. After consistent use, my skin feels smoother, less oily, and my acne has significantly reduced. The addition of ceramides keeps my skin barrier healthy, and the formula is fragrance-free, which is perfect for sensitive skin. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a reliable and dermatologist-approved acne solution!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I can’t say enough good things about this face wash. I use it twice a day and it keeps breakouts at bay. Plus, my face just looks healthier and cleaner overall.

The best soap for my skin care, especially because my face is too oily and I am very acne prone, but when I use Cerave soap, my skin feels soft and clean.

It works. It just didn’t work for me. Of course I felt very clean after using it but I feel like that after using anything I use to wash my face. Definitely didn’t leave me dry but didn’t help with my mild acne.

This product is perfect. I started using it with Panoxyl face scrub but I realized that it works best by itself so I would recommend using it and a toner only. My face has never been clearer, you should get it rn!!!!

I keep repurchasing this product because it has worked so well for my skin. It truly helps my oily and acne prone skin. I break out much less and when I do it quickly goes away. I definitely recommend this for people with similar skin types.

Bought this for my so. Who’s in going to middle school next year & starting to get a few pimples with some dark marks left behind.It’s gentle on his skin, and we’ve noticed it doesn’t dry him out. We’re still in the early stages but sofar it’s promising.If you're a parent of a pre-teen, it's worth a try. I’ll update after more use.Great price and quality cleanser & It’s not oily.
