Shrinks pores and smooths skin
I started using this cleanser 3 weeks ago and I can tell a difference with my enlarged pores and combination skin. I break out sometimes with those nasty big zits underneath your skin, but since using Cerave SA Cleanser, I have not had any of those! I love how my skin feels and looks after washing...

Works Beautifully!
I have dry, sensitive, menopausal skin with patches of large pores. This cleanser is the first I have found that has addressed all of my skin concerns. Although it is not drying, I occasionally use a more moisturizing cleanser at night during the winter.
DO NOT BUY
This face wash made my skin super dry after only using it for a couple of weeks. My skin became very red and puffy after using it and it only caused my acne to get worse.
Suitable for Sensitive Skin
The formula is very gentle. Exfoliates gently, controls blackheads and contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid .
Only thing that works
I have tried every product from the 1970s on, as my skin was very oily. Now, my post-menopausal skin includes clogged sebaceous glands. This product is the only one that has helped with that issue.
I wouldn't buy
My skin is pretty much great but I'm unsure this made it worst
