I tried this wash & wasn't too thrilled with it. When I used my toner after washing my face, a lot of dirt & oil came off, so it doesn't deep clean. It also felt a little drying. I have combination skin, so I do a oily spots & I also get acne sometimes. I have an acne medication I use daily/nightly & an acne serum nightly, so I'm pretty much covered...I mean covered in the sense that I have enough acne products. It did not make me have a reaction. I just got this as a sample & figured I would try it. If I were to use it again, I would wash my face first with a deep clean wash, then follow up with this one.

This is one of my favorite cleansers. It is very gentle, silky, soft, hydrating. It has done a great job at healing my acne spots and reducing any potential acne but without drying out skin. Fragrance free, non irritating, I found it quite gentle actually, especially for an acne Cleanser!

4% Benzoyl peroxide acne treatment, clears acne pimples & blackheads, helps prevent new acne & allows skin to heal and one of the most important part of this is that this product maintains the skin barrier ! At first I thought it was going to be more of a foamy consistency but is more on the lather side it still foams but not a huge amount.

This is by far the best cleanser I’ve used for treating acne. I have really hormonal acne-prone skin and this stuff is a godsend! I went through IVF recently and during the stimulation phase, you are extremely restrictive on what you can, and cannot do and which products you can, and cannot use… benzoyl peroxide was one of the few products I could use for my acne, and this cleanser really helped. Keep my skin in check. I will forever be using this cleanser! Such a good price too compared to other products with similar ingredients!

After getting off hormonal birth control my skin freaked out a bit after not having any issues with ance for years. I decided to try this out because my whole skincare line is cerave so i decided to give this a try and with in a week my skin has improved so much. my skin reacts well to benzoyl peroxide but it usually makes it a bit dry and i don’t get that with this cleanser.

My dermatologist recommended I use a cleanser with BENZOYL PEROXIDE. When I informed him I was using CereVe Acne Cleanser he stated he likes their products. I use the cleanser (4%) twice a day. I found that I have better results overall when I actually massage the cleanser on my face for up to two minutes, vs just washing and rinsing. My fair skin seems sensitive to most products. However, this product works very well with my skin!

I used to get alottttt of white heads but my skin has calmed down tremendously after using this product. I use this product about twice a week sorta like a treatment. I can’t believe how fast it gets rid of acne. It’s very gentle, my face feels clean and it doesn’t strip my dry skin! A little also goes a long way and I’m here for those type of products. 10/10.
