CeraVe Foaming Acne Cream Cleanser, Face Wash with 4% Benzoyl Peroxide, 5oz

This saved my skin after using it every night. I have combination, eczema prone, hormonal acne prone skin with a history of perioral dermatitis, and this is extremely gentle while preventing cystic breakouts. It leaves my skin balanced and never tight or squeaky clean. I think the ceramides and hyaluronic acid help with that. The peroxide is drying, so keep it away from your eyes and I don't use it more than once a day. I use it after removing sunscreen and makeup with micellar water on a warm cloth, and I spray on hypochlorous acid in the morning (my other two favorite products). I would love if they came out with a face wash identical to this, minus the benzoyl peroxide, so I could use it safely with retinoids and azelaic acid (for smoothing out the remaining scars and pigmentation.) (I was previously using Vanicream gentle cleanser for years, which I thought was benign, but contained mica, salt, and a film forming ingredient. It was ultimately irritating and did not clean well enough.) You can see my before and after photos. Keep in mind that that even though I still have some scarring and pigmentation, my skin is smooth and hydrated enough that I can put on glowy foundation and it looks seamless, as if I've never had acne. The scars will also fade with azelaic acid/sunscreen/tretinoin. I took those photos in direct, harsh, unflattering sunlight, no makeup on the skin, except for one after photo, where I had on mascara and a chalky sunscreen.

I love this product and I cannot live without it. This face wash is super gentle (I am saying that as someone who has broken out after using many other facewashes in the past), and I love the way it feels on my skin (it makes me feel fresh and clean!). The cream doesn't have much of a smell (just kind of smells like cream, if that makes sense). After using this for the past five months, my skin has never looked better! I try to keep my skincare to a minimum, but this has become an essential part of my routine. I have struggled with acne for years, and it is hard to find that one product that ends up working for you, but this one was it for me. I use it every night after I take off my makeup. I apply a small drop to each part of my face, scrub it all around, and rinse with warm water. Then I put on a retinal cream and moisturizer. This routine has kept me close to acne free for the past five months. I also want to say that I was surprised by the amount of product you get for the price. I am so used to expensive acne products that only last a month or two, but I have been using this for five months and have barely made a dent in the bottle. I definitely recommend using this if you have been in search of something simple and affective.

​I have tried many benzoyl peroxide washes over the years, and most of them leave my skin feeling tight, stripped, and completely flaking. The CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser is a massive game-changer. The 4% benzoyl peroxide concentration is strong enough to clear up stubborn breakouts and blackheads, but the formula itself is incredibly creamy and comforting.

It’s good and not too foaming. I use it in the shower for my chest, back, and face, and it’s reduced the acne. Very lightweight and doesn’t require too much to use, so good for the money. Slightly drying, but I use moisturizer (you should too) every time after anyways.

so i heard from an actual dermatologist on social media that she heard people with odor from their armpits were using alcohol to disinfect the area, and that it worked as intended. but she replies that alcohol can be extremely drying to the area since the armpit has thin skin. she recommended to her patients, family as well as her using it herself, to use a benzyl peroxide wash to disinfect the area making it smell fresher and cleaner as well being more gentle on skin, and she recommended CeraVe's acne foaming cleanser with 4% benzyl peroxide to achieve this. i used it only on my armpits, once, i rubbed it on in the shower and let it sit for 30-60 seconds as recommended before washing off, and after coming out of the showering and drying myself the odor from my arm pits was gone, and it stayed that way for about a week, when my pits started smelling just a bit odorous again, but definitely not as bad as before. so this worked so well, that i started using this on other trouble areas that i have or suspected odor in, such as my bottom and feet area, and i'd like to think those areas smell fresh and clean now. i would recommend only using this product once a week if you're targeting odor, as i do find that it can dry out the area, and perhaps follow up after using the wash with some sort of moisturizer to keep the area looking plump and healthy. i think i'll be using this on my face next to be able to get a very thorough deep clean. i can recommend this product.

This is the best thing I’ve tried so far for body acne. It completely cleared my chest acne and acne doesn’t reappear as long as I keep using it.

I'm 43 and have always struggled with adult acne, but it got out of control when I went into perimenopause. My skin is also extremely sensitive and doesn't respond well to many different cleansers and creams. I really regret not taking before and after photos because this cleanser is the ONLY product I've found that's actually improved things for me. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks - twice a day, plus the CeraVe PM Moisturizer at night - and already, my acne has cleared up considerably. I still have some issues with my nose (where I get the worst breakouts), but even that much better than it was. I don't know that it'll work this way for everyone, but for me, it's saved my skin.

I experience breakouts regularly and I started using this product some time ago hoping it would be more effective that the other face washes I’ve tried. It made a huge difference without drying my skin which is an issue I had with other face washes it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or itchy after use which is a plus. I have also been breaking out significantly less after adding this to my skincare routine.

Bueno para piel grasa; puede resecar un poco si tienes piel normal o seca.

I've been bouncing between Garnier and Neutrogena over the years, but CeraVe is by far the best one I've used! It's been 10 days since I started using this and I'm already noticing the improvement with my skin. The scent is neutral. It's very gentle and doesn't leave my face feeling like I used a bar of soap. It also helps manage my oily skin! My big tip is to go to CeraVe's official website, take their skin quiz, and based on your answers, you'll get a recommended skincare routine with their line of products. Follow the AM/PM schedule for the best results!
