    Dries out skin

    I could barely use this product because it made my skin extremely dry and red… For context I have very acne-prone skin, I think it’s combination because I occasionally get dryness due to the acne treatments I use. Maybe it would be helpful to someone with super oily skin but not me.

    Gentle yet effective acne cleanser that helps clea

    I’ve been using the CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Wash and it’s been really helpful for my skin. The texture starts as a cream and turns into a light foam, which feels gentle but still effective. It helps reduce breakouts without making my skin feel overly dry or tight. I have sensitive skin, and this didn’t cause irritation or redness. With consistent use, my skin looks clearer and more balanced. I also like that it cleans deeply without stripping my skin. Overall, it’s a great option if you’re dealing with acne but still want something gentle.

    Super good cleanser for acne prone skin

    This face wash helped me so much when I began getting acne because it is super soft on the skin and did not irritate my skin. It also helped smooth out my skin and wouldn’t leave my skin super tight feeling or dry.

    Skin feeling

    I’ve been using the cerave acne foaming cream wash for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed with the results. The formula feels gentle on the skin, yet it does a great job targeting breakouts thanks to the benzoyl peroxide.

    The cream dries the skin out.

    This cleansing cream is quite effective, particularly for oily skin. Do not recommend using daily. However, I personally find the scent less appealing.

    Clear.

    Has a creamy consistency that lathers well and absorbs nicely into the skin. It’s gentle enough for daily use, with no irritation, and rinses off clean without leaving residue. Skin feels fresh and balanced after each use.

    This has changed my life.

    I am 38 and have struggled with acne my whole life. I've tried different products and routines to get rid of it and nothing worked. I searched again for another product and found this one. It has changed my life! I've only been using it for 2 weeks and I've noticed a drastic change. For the first time since I was in my teens, I haven't had to cover acne spots while doing my makeup. My skin has never been this smooth and clear, when I got out of the shower yesterday, and I looked in the mirror, my forehead looked like glass. I did my makeup and it went on so smoothly and I actually got 3 compliments while I was out shopping and I'd like to think that came from my makeup looking flawless. You HAVE to stick to a routine with this, I wash right before bed and as soon as I wake up in the morning and then I exfoliate in the shower daily which has removed any dead skin flakes. I've been using it daily and haven't noticed any extreme drying or peeling. The first few days my acne got worse but after that it started vanishing quickly. I looked up online and that is normal when using benzoyl peroxide treatments. It says you usually see results around 4 weeks and significant improvements by week 8. I wish I had found this sooner in my life because I spent so much time covering spots, using way too many pimple patches, and feeling self conscious. It has even smoothed out some wrinkles so I look younger. I haven't used a pimple patch in about a week now. I can't recommend this product enough, just stay with a routine! If not, it probably won't work.

    CeraVe acne foaming cream wash

    A dermatologist developed acne fighting cleanser that deeply cleanses while helping clear pimples and backheads. It features benzoyl peroxide (up to 10% strength) to trat and help prevent breakouts, plus hyaluronic, acid, niacinamide and ceramides to support the skins barrier and keep it from feeling overly dry. A great first step in a Skincare routine for acne prone skin
