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.

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 will buy this product again
Even though I am 60 years old I still have such an oily face & this product works great!
Does the opposite
Instead of clearing my acne, it started to make my acne worse. I've used this two times in the past year and both of those times I have began to break out.
I would buy again
I only had product for about week n half but it stop my skin from being so oily/ dry.
Changed formula
I had really high hopes for this as the ingredients are great, but please check your new bottles, as mine had coconut acid listed towards the bottom. Coconut acid can be very comedogenic, which is confusing to be added to an acne wash.
Dont use if skin is sensitive!
I tried this for about 1 month and in the beginning it worked great. But after a few uses I started to breakout in hives whenever I used this product. Do not use this product if you have super sensitive skin or is allergic to many acids!! I do not recommend.
