So good
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The toner makes my skin feel so clean and hydrating.It makes my pore look lesser and also my blackheads around my nose look lesser.I use it twice a week which works on my skin.
Helped my KP!
I suffer with keratosis pilaris on my arms/back, as well as sebaceous filaments on my nose and cheeks; this toner has been a HUGE help with clearing both. It goes on nicely under makeup or sunscreen, there is no pilling, and it absorbs quickly.
Works!
Great value 2% BHA serum. Cerave does not disappoint! A new staple in my routine to keep acne at bay. Unexpectedly nice texture, more effective with a single use cotton pad instead of a reusable one which absorbs too much product. If you like the Paula's choice but want something with a more soothing buffer and half the price, this is it.
Surprisingly hydrating
The texture of this is more viscous than I anticipated. I feel like most SA toners are pretty watery/thin, but this has some body and feels moisturizing on the skin. I've tried it a few times now and no reaction/breakouts, so hoping this will replace my more expensive salicylic treatments!
Just didn't work for me
So I tried this and used it consistently for about a month. I put it on every morning and night and it didn't help my skin at all. It was a waste of my money so I ended up returning it and started using the 2% Salicylic acid solution by The Ordinary and that has worked wonders which leads me to believe that the Cerave barely had any Salicylic acid in it
