Key Ingredients
- Hectorite clay: Helps absorb oil and helps skin look less shiny
- Niacinamide: Helps calm the skin
- Salicylic acid: Treats acne and penetrates pores to help prevent new breakouts.
- Salicylic acid (SA) is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), an effective exfoliator that helps remove dead skin cells and sebum, reduces blackheads and the appearance of pores, and treats and prevents new acne breakouts. This chemical exfoliant feels less harsh than physical ones like face scrubs.
- 3 Essential Ceramides: Help restore baby's skin natural barrier, helping to keep moisture in and harmful elements out.
- Ceramides are found naturally in the skin and make up 50% of the lipids in the skin barrier.
- Lipids like ceramides fill in the gaps between skin cells so skin can seal in moisture and keep impurities out.
- All CeraVe products are formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to help maintain the skin’s natural barrier.
Formulated Without
- Parabens
- Fragrance

Good product, confusing use instructions
I like the product and it combines a lot of different active ingredients (AHA,BHA, Lactic Acid) into one so it's a value. I was confused on how to use the product because it's designed like a spot treatment, but also says its "full face" and to "apply to the entire area". Its to be used "at night", ...

I won't recommend this cleanser to anyone
After 5 weeks of using this cleanser, it made my face worse. I started breaking out and having big acne, white head and blackheads which later turned into dark spots. I've never used any facial cleanser, I was recommended this cleanser to start using to clear blackheads but it made my face worse and...

This product along with the acne gel made my Acne so much worse! I have been using it for 6 weeks now in the hope that the break outs would eventually settle. I previously had acne on my cheeks but this has made it spread all over my face. I have now given up with these products.
good product for anyone who has acne problem

I only buy it in a bottle with a dispenser, it is very convenient to use and is always a large size, my son uses this, he is a teenager, it is very suitable for that age for acne and cleanses the skin well. The smell of the product is good, easy to apply to the skin and rinses off well

I rate it 10 out of 10, it's perfect cleancer , so I'll use it till i get batter than.
Daily Wash for 2 years
when I found this I stopped looking for another face wash to control breakouts! You can't beat the price, I've spent $60 + on acne cleansers previously that didn't work as well. Isn't drying to your skin which is huge for me as I'm also dealing with aging skin.
Product genuinely works and doesn't break the bank

I've been using thing product for around a week, I completely changed up my cleansing routine, I use to use just cheaper novelty products. Am I use hydrogen water gel cleanser, followed by a toner, then salicylic acid serum followed by a tinted moisturizer (it cosmetics) or cerave blemish control gel and then a SPF 50 in the PM I use the same cleanser, toner, hydraulic acid serum, acnecide 5% cream and finally cerave blemish control gel, my skins complexion has really changed this routine has done wonders for my pores, blackheads and blemishes definitely worth investing into a good cleansing routine to see results the only criticism I have is the cerave gel can feel sticky
