    Amazing

    One of my favorite acne cleansers. Helps clear breakouts after just a few uses. Doesn’t cause any irritation to my sensitive skin. I typically use this once a day. I use it for my body acne as well

    Love Cerave face wash. All we use. I buy this for my daughter's acne prone skin and it seems to help. Removes her makeup as well. We only use Cerave face washes.

    Excellent results

    There was a time when my face was completely covered in pimples and super irritated. But when I found this product, it literally saved me. I started using it morning and night.Its texture is like a thick milk and it's easy to rinse off, plus I was surprised when it helped my pores look smaller.

    Great for acne prone skin

    With someone with acne this helps reduce breakouts and keep the skin clean. It absorbed well and because it has 10% bp it will leave your skin dry so you have to follow it up with moisturizer. It doesn’t smell the best but that’s with all acne washed with bp. The appearance is fine.

    My favorite cleanser!

    I have this for when I travel and the full size version and I love it! I deal with some bad acne and this just helps my skin get so clean without hurting it. It feels good on the skin and I don’t feel like it dries my skin out after rinsing. It does sting if you get it in your eyes haha

    Great gentle cleanser for oily skin!!

    Gotten these products from a dermatologist so I know it would be a trusted cleanser. My skin is really sensitive right now and it doesn’t irritate it at all. I use it twice a day. Very gentle on my skin. Great price range and no fragrance which is a another plus. This product check all the marks for me!!

    Powerful acne control with gentle skin support.

    This acne foaming cream wash is a powerful yet balanced cleanser for acne-prone skin. The 10% benzoyl peroxide helps target breakouts while still feeling comfortable on the skin thanks to ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide. It creates a nice creamy foam that cleans deep without leaving the skin overly dry.

    Great for acne prone

    This reminded me a lot of Panoxyl with the benzoyl peroxide but much less drying. I didn’t feel the stripping or tightness that the panoxyl would give. I didn’t notice any irritation and my acne improved after a few weeks!

    If you have HS (Hidradenitis suppurativa) this is a great wash to use. It’s the same thing that the dermatologist would prescribe you. It works great!

    Works well but can be drying

    This face wash works great! I alternate between this and a moisturizing face wash. This product can be very drying to the skin, so it may need to be followed up with moisturizer. It’s done a good job of controlling breakouts and keeping my skin clean.

    Acne wash

    This has helped cleared up acne so much. I use it in the shower, especially after a hard sweaty workout and it has helped minimize break outs. I keep repurchasing this one.

    I would definitely recommend it for acne-prone ski

    I've been using the CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Wash and I really like the results. It cleans my skin deeply and helps reduce breakouts without making my face too dry . The texture is smooth and turns into a gentle foam. My skin feels clean, soft and refreshed after each use. I also like that it doesn't have a strong scent and feels gentle on my skin.

    Miracle Product for my Acne

    I have struggled with acne for YEARS. This is the only product that has cleared my acne and kept it away. I used the 4% for months before switching to this one, so I didn’t experience the dryness that others mention. I would definitely recommend this, as it got my skin used to the benzoyl peroxide before switching to the higher percentage.
