I’ve been using the CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser for a few weeks now, and the difference in my skin is incredible. The 2% salicylic acid really helps clear out blackheads and prevent new breakouts, but what I love most is that it doesn’t dry out my skin thanks to the ceramides and niacinamide. It leaves my face feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed every time. I’ve also noticed my pores looking smaller and my skin texture improving overall. The formula is gentle, fragrance-free, and perfect for daily use. Read more

I love this wash! It’s a fair price and works great. I have oily skin and prone to zits and redness. So only thought an expensive solution would work but I got tired of paying lots of money. So I decided to try this and it works better than the other kind I was using. My face is less red and my skin tone looks nicer. I really love it! My face feels really clean. It lasts a long time and it doesn’t have a strong smell. It spreads around easily so you only need a little bit. Read more

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. Read more

This cleanser is a solid performer for managing breakouts. The 2% salicylic acid and clay really help reduce oiliness and blackheads without that super stripped feeling. It foams up nicely and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. While it's generally gentle, those with very dry or sensitive skin might find it slightly drying, so I pair it with a good moisturizer. Definitely a must-try if you struggle with congested, oily skin. Read more

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. Read more

This face wash works without stripping my skin or making it feel tight. The salicylic acid helps keep breakouts under control and smooths texture. It lathers nicely, rinses clean, and feels gentle enough for daily use. It does not leak. If you want something that clears acne without burning your face, this is it. It has a mild scent and it is very moisturizing with natural ingredients. Read more

This CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser kicks butt at clearing existing breakouts, preventing new ones, reducing blackheads/whiteheads, minimizing shine, and soothing skin with niacinamide, all while maintaining the skin's protective barrier thanks to essential ceramides and salicylic acid for deep pore cleansing. My partner is FtM Transgender, and the second puberty is ROUGH. This helps him maintain his skin complexion, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t also use this as a make-up end of the day cleanser for myself. It's a gel-to-foam formula that gently exfoliates without drying your face, leaving your skin smoother, clearer, and more balanced. ALSO- You can order this here, instead of to ask someone at Target to open the cleaner plastic, since they can’t not assume that their shrink is more important than their actual sales. Read more

This product works well and doesn’t leave my face feeling dry like some others I’ve tried. I think it’s improved my skin more than many products I’ve used before. The fact that it’s scent-free is a bonus, and its effectiveness has earned it a spot in my skincare routine. Overall, I appreciate that it doesn’t cause dryness or irritation during or after use, so I plan to keep using it. Read more
