Eliminated my acne
I discovered this product when trying to find solutions to eliminate my acne and gave it a try. I now don’t use any other face wash. It has eliminated my acne with consistent use. It lathers and rinses well. If it’s about to be that time of the month which makes me more acne prone I will put it on my face like a mask and let it sit for a few mins then rinse it off and moisturize well. It does dry my skin a little so I do need to moisturize every morning and night. Highly recommend if you’re struggling with acne.

The product is helpful with acne
The product is good, it helped me to clean my acne. The product is more gentle than I expected, but I would recommend using it only once daily instead of twice.

Favorite Facewash!
This has been a savior for my acne. I’ve used this product for almost 6 years and I have no complaints. It’s very effective for my acne prone skin, does not irritate me even though my skin is sensitive, and the bottle lasts a long time even with daily use. My holy grail!

Deep cleans
This acne foaming cream cleanser deeply cleans pores without over-drying. It removes excess oil, helps prevent breakouts, and leaves skin feeling fresh, clean, and balanced every time.

It improves the appearance of the skin.
My husband uses it daily, since his skin is very oily and has blackheads, this has helped him to gradually improve the appearance of his skin, apply it after his night bath, apply a little of the cream and gently massage to shed dead skin and then rinse. Then apply your Cerave pm cream for best results.

This is an amazing product that helped me get rid
I can’t tell you enough how much I love this product. I’ve recently had really bad acne breakouts and extreme redness and I tried a bunch of other products. This CeraVe cleanser was literally the only one that worked for me. Also, unlike all of the other products I tried, my skin didn’t feel like I needed to immediately put lotion on afterwards. Additionally, it helped me maintain clean pores so those same areas would be less likely to have reoccurring acne! I just wish they sold a bottle bigger than 5oz.

Good, but not for everyday use
I've been using this for over a year and while it does work on my acne prone sensitive skin, it can dry you out. I got the 4% instead of the 10% hoping it would not dry out as much, but it still left my skin dull and dry. Now I only use when I have a breakout here and there but have opted out for a more gentle daily cleanser.

Gentle foaming cleanser that helps manage acne wit
I like how gentle yet effective this cleanser is. It foams nicely, rinses off easily, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or tight. There’s no strong scent, and it helps keep my acne under control with regular use.

Love!
I work in a dermatology clinic and have recently started using this product! This product is great for some slight acne control to help with any breakouts arising! Great for occasional use.

severe reaction, not sensitive skin
I've never reacted to skin products and this one caused a severe rash on my face that lasted for at least a month.

dry, red patch on skin
It worked great as far as clearing and stopping my acne. I have combination skin, but a few months after using it, i noticed that i had this dry, red, patch on my skin. My friend, who actually recommended this face wash also had a res, dry patch and we both stopped using it.

A gentle but powerful cleanser that clears acne wi
The CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser has become one of my favorite daily cleansers for keeping breakouts under control. The texture is creamy yet foamy, and it spreads easily on the skin. It deeply cleans without over-drying, which is rare for acne products. The 4% benzoyl peroxide formula is effective but still gentle thanks to the added ceramides and niacinamide — my skin feels balanced, not tight. I’ve noticed fewer active pimples and less oil buildup after a week of consistent use. It has a mild, clean scent and a simple, practical tube that’s easy to use. Great for combination or oily, acne-prone skin.

very lightweight very good foaming cleanser to use
The ingredients are perfect. It has a lot of dermatologist tested ingredients that helps with my acne every day. I’ve only been using it for about a week and I’m seeing crazy progress. Would recommend it’s also not too expensive.

Changed formula
I cannot tell you how sad I am that Cerave changed the formula to this product. The new one doesn’t lather and leaves my face not feeling clean. I have also noticed worsened acne. I have been using this product religiously for years and swear by it but am so disappointed.
