  • FSA / HSA Eligible
  • Fragrance-free, Paraben-free, Allergy tested and Non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog your pores).

  • *Source: IQVIA, ProSource Survey, 12 months ending January 2023.

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 used this for the last few years and it used to work so good but the last 2 bottles I bought were watered down or something, it doesnt lather like it used to and didnt do anything for my acne so I switched brands and my skin is perfectly clear. Bye bye Cerave!

DOES NOT WORK

I got this because it said no drying alcohols. I thought it would help with my adult acne, it didn't help at all! After using it for 3 days, and 3 times a day it just made my face super sticky! I'm returning it!
