Great
Works great with other products that were recommended by my dermatologist. Just be careful with clothing because you may get stains.

No Smelly Pits!
I saw on TikTok that this could be used on your armpits if you feel like there’s a smell still after washing them in the shower and it works miracles! My pits don’t smell like anything! Will keep buying 100%

Not for sensitive skin. Unless using Tretinoin with it.
Don’t even get me started. This product ruined my life after using it once terrible reaction with a really bad outcome. This reaction /breakout stayed for about 3 weeks after not having acne this bad since I got off Accutane two years ago

Great for sensitive skin
I’m in love with this acne cream. It has no scent! It helps my face stay clean and clear! A little goes a long way with this product. There is no residue after using it and rinsing. It makes your skin feel absolutely amazing and soft after every use. I have sensitive skin and it is one of the only acne creams that I can use.

My new fav
Love the product! It cleanses without drying out my skin. Maybe rethink the cap. How about a flip top?

The best daily cleanser
The best daily cleanser ever! This is such a high quality product for such an inexpensive price. This helped stop major breakouts and has made my skin much clearer. Much more effective than ProActiv!

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.
