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.

Amazing product for my dry skin and a staple of my skicare regiemen
This product works!!
Verified Reviewer

I love love love this product!! It really works (well in my experience) I love how it shrinks my pores to where they're not noticeable and I love how it shrinks my acne. I like how it's foaming cause I have oily skin and foam is better in my opinion. The only thing that I have to say and it really dosent bother me, but after I use it it kinda makes my skin (in a feeling way) like dry like I used to glue and put it on my face but with a good hydrating lotion or moisturizer it's all good nun bad :) i have acne prone skin but I get acne when I like eat nuts or chips
Not for sensitive skin

I really wanted to love this face wash and I did. after using it twice it made my skin feel much more balanced and it didn't leave it oily either, but after the second time it burned my cheeks and left them swollen and red. It took about an hour for it to stop burning and for the red to go away. So this product works great but if you have sensitive skin just be careful and know what your skin is sensitive to.

Good face wash for oily acne prone skin.
Never been clearer
Verified Reviewer

I've been using this for the past 2 years and my face has never been consistently this clear. My skin is completely smooth. I have very acne prone skin and I know it's effective because if I happen to skip a day and not use it, I get pimples. I have extremely oily skin and live in a humid climate and definitely notice that I don't look as shiny as I used to. I still get the occasional hormonal acne but even then it's not much and goes away quickly.
