  • Fragrance-free, Paraben-free, Allergy tested and Non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog your pores).

Key Ingredients

  • Hectorite clay: Helps absorb oil and helps skin look less shiny
  • Niacinamide: Helps calm the skin
  • Salicylic acid: Treats acne and penetrates pores to help prevent new breakouts.
  • Salicylic acid (SA) is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), an effective exfoliator that helps remove dead skin cells and sebum, reduces blackheads and the appearance of pores, and treats and prevents new acne breakouts. This chemical exfoliant feels less harsh than physical ones like face scrubs.
  • 3 Essential Ceramides: Help restore baby's skin natural barrier, helping to keep moisture in and harmful elements out.
  • Ceramides are found naturally in the skin and make up 50% of the lipids in the skin barrier.
  • Lipids like ceramides fill in the gaps between skin cells so skin can seal in moisture and keep impurities out.
  • All CeraVe products are formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to help maintain the skin’s natural barrier.

Formulated Without

  • Parabens
  • Fragrance

How To Use

  • Daily Face Wash suitable for Oily Skin & Acne-prone Skin, including mild to moderate acne.
  • Formulated to clear acne, reduce blackheads, and improve the appearance of pores.
  • Use every morning and evening. Shake bottle well before use. Wet face, then work a dime-size amount into a lather. Gently massage, avoiding the eye area. Rinse well.
  • As product can increase skin's sun sensitivity, we recommend using CeraVe Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30 or higher.

Good product, confusing use instructions

I like the product and it combines a lot of different active ingredients (AHA,BHA, Lactic Acid) into one so it's a value. I was confused on how to use the product because it's designed like a spot treatment, but also says its "full face" and to "apply to the entire area". Its to be used "at night", ...

I have been using this for about 3 weeks roughly now as well as a fee other products. I use this product in the day and night and after applying moisturizers I do not feel the dryness of it. Make sure to combine with moisturizers or face oils that clog your pores, and as somebody with severe acne and this was recommended to me by a friend it is amazing < 3

Its not a bad cleanser, but it did dry my face out a bit. I used this for awhile, but I feel like it did nothing for my acne.
