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.

This is a great cleanser! I've tried a bunch of different cleansers as I'm acne prone and I have sensitive skin and this one has never caused me any irritation! This cleanser gets all the dirt and grime and makeup off of ur face. It's just a great product! And it's a very foaming cleanser! This product has done magic for my textured acne prone skin! Highly recommend trying it out!!
Dont recommend- Caused more breakouts & irritation

Bought the Acne Control Cleanser, Am Facial Moisturizer, and PM Facial Moisturizer. Applied the cleanser morning and night, followed with the moisturizer. After the first use, my entire face turned red and little bumps started appearing. I tried it the next day without using the AM moisturizer (because it's very oily due to SPF with it) and the same thing happened right after rinsing off the cleanser. I was really expecting a good outcome, but the more i keep using, I am continually experiencing more breakouts and constant redness, which is very disappointing because this is "#1 Cleanser Dermatologist Recommend"…. Do Not Recommend!!
It's must have for anyone having trouble with acne.

Great cleanser! It's so effective and not overpriced. Without smell and one pressure is enough for washing. The packaging is very aesthetic and comfortable.
