Iâm impressed.
In 12 hours, overnight, my breakout issue is vastly improving. Iâm one evening and one morning cleanse in.I lean rosacea with breakouts. A tough combo to treat. The breakouts are disappearing this am, former angry spots are smaller and sloughing off – the swelling and redness is diminished, less inflamed.I tried many, most far more expensive that werenât working.Itâs not exactly âdryingâ like non-cream others, itâs softer. I do feel like pores are tighter, but my skin is not. Itâs comfortable. Overnight, my T Zone had surface oil – so I cleansed again this morning. This leaves a matte finish and really takes care of that – meaning no shine zones.It doesnât leave a perceptible residue, but doesnât âstripâ skin either. I felt a smoothness upon rising it off that was nice, but dry upon blotting water away. Feels âclean,â not tight.It dissolves and removes the SA peel-slough from former breakout areas gently. I was using my fingers in circular motions, nothing ferocious.Itâs not really foamy, but does mini-foam more than non-foaming cream cleansers recommended for rosacea (that tended to break me out). Itâs definitely less foamy than gel âfoamingâ cleansers. Is quasi-foam a thing? Letâs just say itâs pleasantly, very slightly foamy, no more, no less.Thereâs zero scent.The cleanser is clear to very light griege (due to beneficial clay I guess?).It opens and closes with a 1/4 nozzle twist easily.The pump dispenses a small, but face and neck ample dollop, about dime size – well done there!The container isnât the most attractive, itâs opaque white and branded overtly – so, every viewer sees âacneâ on approach. Lol.25X skin magnification: thereâs less buildup or visible pores, no white or blackheads I can see. I was getting these daily, tiny, white random pustules in areas of rosacea flare. Ew! Gone now – yay. Surface capillaries are less inflamed. Older breakouts are peeling away. Inflamed or bumpy areas have leveled. Skin tone is more uniform and less ârosaceaâ in appearance. I hope Iâm pleasantly human hued in another few days.Itâs Day 1.A few times in the past, new products have this effect then, skin re-tantrums into its bad behavior. So, Iâll update this in a month, but Iâm really impressed so far. Overnight, it abated what felt like an uncomfortable, unsightly flare up that wasnât resolving. Iâm glad I purchased the larger volume âvalueâ size.Though everyone U.S. uniquely different, I donât think youâd regret this. The only match to it for me, so far, was an insanely priced esthetician brand line with way too many steps. This is wash and go, easy, very economical considering. Happy I tried it.I hope this review helps.

“Finally, a Cleanser That Actually Works Without Drying My Skin!”
Iâve struggled with mild to moderate acne for years, and Iâve tried so many cleansers that either did nothing or completely dried out my skin. I decided to give the CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser a try because I already love their moisturizer, and Iâm SO glad I did!First off, the 2% salicylic acid really helps keep my breakouts under control without being too harsh. Within a week, I noticed fewer active breakouts and my skin looked calmer overall. What I love most is that it doesnât strip my skin like some other acne cleansers. I think the niacinamide and ceramides really help balance things outâmy face feels clean but not tight or irritated.Another big plus: itâs fragrance-free and gentle enough for my sensitive skin. The texture is smooth with a light, almost creamy feel that rinses off easily. I also like that it includes oil-absorbing clay, which has helped reduce the shine on my T-zone.I use it once a day in the evening, followed by a moisturizer, and itâs become a staple in my skincare routine. If youâre looking for an acne cleanser thatâs effective but not overly aggressive, this is it. Highly recommend!

Excellent gel for oily skin
I have been using this facial gel for several weeks, and it really helps control excess oil on my face. The texture is light, absorbs quickly, and doesnât leave a sticky feeling. It keeps my skin clean and fresh all day long. Best of all, it doesnât irritate or dry out my skin. I highly recommend it for those with oily or combination skin.

Controls acne great
Only facewash I use, cleans up well and prevents acne buildup nicely if applied twice daily (for me). Dries up my face, but no more than simply washing with water would, so I apply some moisturizer after. You could argue that defeats the purpose of the acne wash, but I don’t have acne problems with this routine.

Great acne controller!
By far, I can say this has been the best acne cleanser I’ve used among others! I started about a year and a half ago, and it has reduced the acne by about 60%! I would get acne from the birth control I am on, and I used to get those cysts on my jawline. Sometimes pimples would appear on my chin here and there, as well as on my cheeks, etc. I HATED it!!!!! I may get one here and there, but not as much! Now I don’t get the cysts anymore at all thk God! I use this product every morning before applying makeup and faithfully at night after removing it for the full benefits. Be mindful, it will dry your face if you don’t follow with a moisturizer with SPF. Now, the only thing I need to do is work on removing the dark spots caused by the acne. Using makeup to cover is okay, but there are days when I don’t want to wear it. However, overall, I’m satisfied and will continue to use this product!

Great price and dermatologist suggested this product to me
Great product and lathered well was packaged well and dermatologist suggested it so we will see how well in a couple of weeks it does on my sensitive skin – so far hasnât caused any irritation in a weeks time so that is good

Best cleanser ever!
Absolutely love this item! I struggle with acne and blackheads. I have tried what feels like a million different products. The first night I used this, I woke up to smoother, healthier skin. My pores and blackheads have disappeared completely! I still have the occasional pimple, but they have become easier to pop and less painful, while using this product. Keep in mind Iâve only been using it for 5 days. The product does have a slight smell that bothers my nose, but it goes undetected after rinsing. Highly recommend trying this!

I can’t say if it was this that has stopped my severe cystic acne or not. I have been using it two weeks and have had a recent flare of my acne for the last 6 months and it was only getting worse. My skin is clear and is now healing. It doesn’t dry my skin out and is very likely doing something as i had previously bought a similar product with the same active ingredient and it helpt. I don’t agree with over loading your skin with different products during these episodes so i use it with a good moisturising cream and treclin for the scarring. If you have oily type skin and have acne give this a go.
Didn’t receive the order and on your website sayes that it’s delivered –
