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

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.

My miracle face wash

Submitted 2 years ago

From Baltimore, MD

My skin is not prone to acne, but I do get a lot of small breakouts and pimples. This face wash cleared my skin like no other product has ever!!!!! It took a little bit of time to notice the results (maybe a month?) but ever since I've been using it, I have not experienced any breakouts or random spots. I have combo skin and it does dry my skin out a bit but not to the point that its stiff or uncomfortable - I just pair with a light moisturizer. My skin feels clean, but not stripped. Would totally recommend for anyone with mild acne. Love u cera ve
