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", ...

First time using this brand and product and it burned my face badly. It made my acne so much worse and my skin is extra sensitive now. I've heard great things about this brand and decided to give it a try. Sadly this created a bad skin situation for me and it's taking forever to recover from it.
WATCH OUT WITH THIS

This is a warning for people, try to get a sample of this (if they exist) to check if it's right for your skin or not, before buying it. The first few uses it was fine, I really felt it was cleansing but then I started with painful breakouts, I thought were other reasons, but once I got rid of any source that would be making my skin so bad, it was only this cleanser and my usual moisturizer that I've been using for months and never got acne with it. The only remaining reason then, was Cerave. I wish I could get my money back, because it's not a cheap purchasing
Ineffective and not doing much
Ive been using this product for about a month but my acne is at its worse. Its not treating the acne nor is it stopping new acne from coming in
