The \u003cstrong\u003eCeraVe Acne Control Gel\u003c\/strong\u003e is formulated for the step after cleansing — a leave-on, all-over face treatment applied to clean, dry skin that works continuously throughout the day to clear existing acne, prevent new breakouts from forming, and minimise the appearance of pores. With \u003cstrong\u003e2% salicylic acid\u003c\/strong\u003e as its active ingredient, combined with a triple-acid AHA\/BHA blend, niacinamide, and three essential ceramides, this is the most comprehensively formulated OTC acne treatment gel available — and the second essential step in CeraVe's complete acne control system.

Used together, these two products create a comprehensive daily acne routine that addresses breakouts at every stage — from the cleanser's cleansing and oil-absorbing action to the gel's continuous pore-clearing and acne-prevention effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTriple-Acid Formula — Why BHA + AHA Together Outperforms Either Alone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCeraVe Acne Control Gel\u003c\/strong\u003e uses three exfoliating acids simultaneously — a strategy that targets different aspects of acne formation at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalicylic acid (BHA, 2%)\u003c\/strong\u003e is oil-soluble — penetrating through sebum into the pore itself to dissolve the dead cell buildup that causes blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores.
