Cerave Acne Control Face Cleanser 237ml

CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser (237ml) is a gentle yet effective facial cleanser designed to help treat and prevent acne while maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance. It is formulated with a combination of active ingredients that target acne and promote clearer, smoother skin, all while being gentle enough for daily use.

Features:

1. Salicylic Acid (2%):

   • The key active ingredient in this cleanser is salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into the pores to help dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells. This helps prevent clogged pores, which are a common cause of acne.

2. Non-Drying Formula:

   • While salicylic acid is effective at treating acne, it can sometimes be drying on the skin. CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser is formulated with ceramides, which help restore and maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and keeping the skin hydrated.

3. Gentle Foaming Action:

   • The cleanser has a gentle, foaming texture that effectively cleanses the skin without causing irritation or over-drying. It removes dirt, oil, and makeup while leaving the skin feeling fresh and clean.

4. Niacinamide:

   • The formula includes niacinamide (vitamin B3), which helps calm and soothe the skin, reducing redness and irritation associated with acne. Niacinamide also helps balance oil production, making it a great addition for those with oily or combination skin.

5. Fragrance-Free:

   • This cleanser is fragrance-free, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin that may react to added fragrances in skincare products.

6. Dermatologist-Developed and Non-Comedogenic:

   • CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser is developed by dermatologists, ensuring that it’s safe and effective for acne-prone skin. It is also non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores, which is crucial for individuals prone to breakouts.

7. Suitable for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin:

   • This product is specifically formulated for those with acne-prone or oily skin. It works to control breakouts while helping to maintain the skin’s moisture balance.

How to Use:

1. Wet Your Face:

   • Begin by wetting your face with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can strip the skin of its natural oils and cause irritation.

2. Dispense the Cleanser:

   • Apply a small amount of the CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser (about a dime-sized amount) to your fingertips or a damp washcloth.

3. Massage into Skin:

   • Gently massage the cleanser onto your face in circular motions, focusing on areas that tend to get oily or where you experience acne breakouts. Be sure to avoid the sensitive eye area.

4. Rinse Thoroughly:

   • After massaging the cleanser into your skin for about 20-30 seconds, rinse your face with lukewarm water, ensuring all of the cleanser is washed away.

5. Follow Up with Moisturizer:

   • After cleansing, follow up with a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. CeraVe’s range of moisturizers contains ceramides, which can help reinforce the skin’s natural barrier and prevent dryness.

6. Frequency of Use:

   • For best results, use the cleanser twice daily—once in the morning and once at night. If you have sensitive skin or if this is your first time using a salicylic acid product, start by using it once a day to see how your skin reacts, and then gradually increase to twice daily.

7. Sunscreen:

   • Since salicylic acid can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) during the day, even if you're staying indoors.
