CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser uses 2% Salicylic Acid, a concentration recognized as an effective treatment for acne. It gently exfoliates inside pores to clear buildup, reduce blackheads, and help prevent new breakouts from forming.
Clay That Absorbs Oil As You Cleanse
Hectorite clay is included to absorb excess oil and reduce shine, working alongside the salicylic acid rather than relying on the acid alone. The gel transforms into a light foam as you massage it in.
Still Built on Barrier Support
Despite being an acne treatment, this cleanser still includes CeraVe's essential ceramides and Niacinamide, working to calm skin and support the barrier even as it exfoliates.
