This CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser is amazing! Since I started using it, my skin feels smoother, cleaner, and more refined.

Truly a reliable, safe, and effective product that improves your skin with every use. I highly recommend it! ¡Este limpiador de CeraVe es excelente!

I’ve been using this face wash for a bit now, and it’s honestly pretty easy to like. It exfoliates without feeling rough or scratchy, which is huge for me because my skin gets irritated fast. It just feels like it’s gently cleaning things out instead of attacking my face. It starts out as a gel and then foams up when you wash, and my skin feels clean after but not tight or dried out. That’s usually my biggest issue with cleansers, so I was happy about that. My face actually feels soft afterward, not like I need to rush to put on moisturizer. I’ve also noticed it helps with rough spots and little breakouts without making things worse. No strong smell, no weird reactions — it’s just one of those “do your job and don’t cause problems” products. Basically, if you want a face wash that cleans well, lightly exfoliates, and doesn’t mess up your skin, this one’s been solid for me.

Well, I'm on a roll for sure! I purchased multiple from this product line. Love them all so far, used most, will comment when I have utilized the shampoo and conditioner, but for now washing my face with this, feels really clean, soft, feel refreshed. Use this in the morning, washing off the night cream before using the gel moisture on my clean face in the morning. This product line, so far, do not irritate my skin at all. Great foaminess, quality, a little goes a long way, nice soft texture in a pump plastic container. I like the ingredients, cleaner than most and will help my mature skin. Promised myself use all of my products on the daily. My skin feels so much better just using some nice quality inexpensive products on my skin at this point. I feel my skin is getting the ingredients it might need at the moment! You get a lot in the container, and a little goes a long way for sure. Great price, shipped right to your door too. Gift yourself you won't be disappointed. I hope you found this review helpful? I primarily shop Amazon for pretty much everything at present. No complaints at all. This saves me time money and I can focus on what I want and what I want to spend on items like this. Thank you for reading my review, Kat =^.^=

This is a quality product, don't waste money on cheap alternatives. Pros: Dense. It lasts a while, is very thick. A little goes a long way. It also doesn't have useless marketing ingredients. It is backed by science. It works for me, clears skin, no fragarence. Lathers nicely. Cons: Figure out skin type first. If this is appropriate, it works great. If not, it will make you have dry skin. don't use too much.

I have had stubborn milia on my forehead for YEARS and have tried a variety of products to make sure my skin is clean but NOTHING has worked. Until I happened upon this product that I only bought for the sebaceous filaments on my nose. Ewww. But it turns out that this cleanser has lifted 2 of the milia in the 2 weeks I have used it and I can see that 2 more are on their way to the surface! Game changer! I am SOLD! I know it is not advertised to remove milia, but OH MY GOODNESS! It is the only thing that has worked. And I have been on a mission to rid my forehead of these gross bumps for a decade. The aethetician who manually removed them 6 years ago caused scarring and bloody scabs for weeks afterwards. This product is definitely worth trying if you have forehead milia.

Cleans up my skin very well, cleanser is thick, jelly, clear, doesn’t cause irritation and doesn’t leave skin greasy. Love it!

To make the long story short, this is great for dry, sensitive skin, and it really helps clear acne! Full review: I've had acne since I was 10, and back in the summer of 2016, I was prescribed birth control and a few months of Retin-A cream. Retin-A cream can be really harsh, so I initially only used it for my body acne and not my face. Eventually I started using a tiny amount a few times a week to help my remaining facial acne as the birth control continued to clear it and to help smooth some wrinkles and maybe fade my acne scars. However, I was still using St. Ives apricot scrub with salicylic acid and some roc retinol cream a few nights a week also. Add in some time in the sun with no sunblock, and I ended up with a terribly burned face. This, along with the dryness from a Colorado fall/early winter made my skin extremely dry and painful. I couldn't even apply moisturizer without it burning. Needless to say, I had to stop using any face wash. The dryness also started to make my skin break out, and I couldn't treat it with anything. After desperately googling remedies for my dry skin and forming acne, I started using a mixture of tea tree, argan, jojoba, rose hip, and sometimes castor oil on my face along with frequent honey masks. This fixed my dry skin, which store bought moisturizers for extremely dry skin couldn't do, but I still had terrible acne, like the worst I've ever had in my life. I started using a bar of Cerave moisturizing soap because it was on clearance at walmart for like $1 and I'd heard of people using it for acne. This helped to make my face feel cleaner, but it didn't really help my acne. I knew I needed something that could exfoliate my skin, but there was no way I was going to use something as harsh as the St. Ives scrub again. I decided to try this because I did like the Cerave bar soap even though it didn't help my acne, and this has at least some salycilic acid for exfoliation. When I first used it, I didn't think it was really going to help my acne because the consistency is so smooth and it doesn't seem like it could really exfoliate. However, after 1-2 weeks, I started to notice my skin clearing up. Slowly but surely, this face wash helped to almost completely clear my skin. I had also started taking my birth control more regularly, added a probiotic supplement, and started using vitamin c on my face, so I can't say this is the only thing that helped my acne, but it certainly contributed a lot. I also eventually started using an electric face brush to help exfoliate, and I think that could've helped. I still get acne around my period, and because I'm a college senior, so I'm always super stressed, don't get enough sleep, and don't always eat right. Also, you can't tell from the pictures, but I have quite a few blackheads on my nose. The face wash has helped clear some of those and make them smaller, but I have yet to find a product that actually completely gets rid of them, and I've tried many. Even with the blackheads, my skin is so much better now. This face wash saved my skin, and I think it's worth every penny! Pictures: Picture 1- The right side is a picture from February 14, 2017 without any makeup after starting my oil treatment. The left side is from April 7, 2017 with makeup, but you can still see how awful my skin was. I didn't start using the face wash until around the end of April. Picture 2- The left part is from July 7, 2017, and the two on the right are both from July 17, 2017. I am wearing makeup in all of these pictures, but you can tell that my skin had improved significantly. Few pimples, but lots of acne scars from the breakout. Picture 3- Both were taken August 21, 2017 with make up. Once again you can see I don't have many pimples, just terrible acne scars. Picture 4- The left part was taken December 12, 2017. I was testing a BB cream, so it is cover the bottom half of my face, but you can see that my skin looks pretty clear. The top right side was taken December 13 with the BB cream on my entire face. The bottom right picture was taken today with no makeup. As I said previously, I still get pimples from stress and periods, but they are usually small and mild instead of the giant lumps I was getting before, and they go away really quickly using cosrx pimple patches (definitely check those out) and vitamin c serum. Also, please note that I do have freckles, so most of the spots on my face are just freckles or dark marks from old acne I am still trying to get rid of. Sorry for the long review, and all the pictures with makeup (I didn't take many without makeup when my skin was that bad), but I hope it helped!

I've only been using this for 3 days, I will update my review once I've used it for at least 4 weeks (assuming I stick it out). But I wanted to try to help people understand something about acne/exfoliation treatments. I know this isn't marketed as an acne treatment, but is has salicylic acid in it which is used to treat acne. If I can help just one person understand what I wish someone had explained to me in my teens and 20's, I will be happy. I didn't have the internet when I was having my worst skin issues (I'm old!). And the companies that make acne treatments do not explain to you on the box/bottle what to expect----it's a bit of a con to get you to keep spending money on new products, which is what I did when I was younger. Any product meant to either treat acne or exfoliate WILL MOST PROBABLY MAKE YOU BREAK OUT WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER. If it does, it's doing it's job. The chemicals in those products clear dead skin cells away thereby cleaning out your pores which then "purge" all that crud out of your pores which then causes breakouts. Sorry, that's an unscientific explanation, but it explains why you suffer more or worse breakouts before the product will possibly start to result in clearer skin (I say possibly because you might never get "clear" skin). When I was young, no one told me this so I'd use a product for a brief time, my pimples would be no better or might even get worse, so I'd quit and buy another product etc. Finally I convinced myself acne medication in general was just irritating my skin worse and causing the breakouts so I stopped using it altogether. I NEVER stuck to a treatment for the 4-6 weeks the skin experts say it takes to completely "purge" your pores. By the way, it is also NOT TRUE that any new skin care product you start using will cause purging/break outs. It's only certain ingredients. By no means do I know all of them, but some of them are: benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid------google it to get a full list but those are the biggies. Again, I'm not an expert, but I did do research to try to find out if another CeraVe product was causing new pimples, which is how I learned all this. I'm so bummed and angry I didn't know this when I was younger. It might have made life a bit easier for me. Anyway, I debated between this and the CeraVe cleanser specifically for acne prone skin, but at my age, I just don't have it in me to possibly deal with horrible break outs for the next 6 weeks, so I opted for this product, which has such a low concentration of salicylic acid that it's very possible it won't have any effect at all on my acne, which is why I got the smaller bottle, just to try it out. I might try the one for acne prone skin after that if I'm still having issues (I had the occasional stray pimple here and there for the last 20 years but perimenopause has taken me back to the skin of my late teens/early 20's, which in this case, is not a good thing!) In my late 20's and 30's there was an awesome antibacterial ingredient available in facial cleansers that kept my face crystal clear, but people complained it was bad for the environment (like their cars aren't!) and got it taken off the market. Thanks, people :-( As I said, I'm just hoping this helps someone who is dealing with acne, even if it's not this product you end up trying. Last helpful hint: acne treatments dry your skin out, dermatologist will tell you that you need to use a moisturizer even though it seems contradictory to use it on acne prone/oily skin. Reason is, if your skin is too dry, your body thinks it needs to produce more oil to help. Unfortunately, I have NEVER used a single facial moisturizer that doesn't clog my pores (even if it says it won't) and make me break out. But know that you should be using one! Update after 6 weeks of use: This totally is enough % of salicylic acid to accomplish purging of your pores. It took the entire 6 weeks, but I think I might finally be over the hurdle and it was NOT easy. Weeks 4 and 5 were by far the worst, I had an outbreak of about 8 pimples all on my left cheek area that looked awful and kept coming back to a head even after seeming to get better and the red spots are still there. Every day I developed a minimum of 2 new pimples, some days I would wake up with new ones and then by the time I would get home from work, I'd have another new one that had come to a head. It was embarrassing to go through, but now that I think I'm done, it seems to have been worth it. Overall my skin looks better than it ever has, although to be fair, I will never have flawless skin. I did actually start to use a gel moisturizer (the green Garnier stuff in the little jar) 2 weeks in because I wanted to try to prevent over drying, and so far it seems to be working well without causing additional break outs. So I'm actually changing my star rating on this from 3 to 5 because I'm very happy with it------plus the bottle is lasting forever. Even after 6 weeks of using nightly, I've only used about 1/4 the bottle and I got the smaller one.
