It’s decent
Cerave acne foaming cream wash doesn’t feel too heavy on my face but I feel like there are better products that target acne. I like that the product doesn’t leave any residue.

ONLY THING THAT HAS CLEARED MY ACNE
The only brand I use on my face is Cerave and this is my holy grail product. But I recommend the 4 percent since it’s not so aggressive and make your skin super dry. It tightens the pores and doesn’t make your skin feel dry at all.

Great inexpensive wash for body acne!
I bought this for my husband who gets body acne and normal acne washes hadn't been working. This had helped clear his back up tremendously and I love how it doesn't dry him out.

Amazing
I have really dry acne prone skin and this wash really helps minimize breakouts and cleans my pores so much. After using once my skin feels so much smoother and glowing.

Effective, but be careful not to get on your cloth
This has been gentle on my skin and helped clear up areas where I was experiencing acne. It goes on smooth, but effectively cleans out your pores. It does have peroxide in it and caused a couple of bleach spots where it splashed on my shirt, but I just know to be careful of that in the future.

Gentle yet effective cleanser that helps control a
I’ve been using the CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Wash for a while and I’m really impressed. It cleanses my skin thoroughly without feeling harsh or stripping. The foaming texture feels gentle and comfortable, and it helps keep breakouts under control without causing excessive dryness. My skin feels clean, smooth, and more balanced after each use, which makes it easy to use...

Works great on my skin
I have used this foam acne based cream wash and it worked great on my acne, prone skin. I didn’t see any kind of rashes after using this, so I basically used it from a long period of time.
My skin feels really hydrating after using this.

For acne!!!!
I’ve been using this cleanser for a few weeks and wow, it’s really changed how I feel about my skin. My breakouts were starting to frustrate me—especially around my forehead and cheeks—and this made a noticeable dent in them. The 4% benzoyl peroxide hits the acne hard, yet the added ceramides & niacinamide mean it didn’t leave me feeling totally stripped.❤️

The ingredients are listed on the packaging. The effectiveness of this product is really good; it leaves magnificent results. Its fragrance is totally natural and delicious. The packaging is very cute and the texture is pleasant. I recommend it, girls.

Great for teen acne
This has worked so well on my teenage son's face. He does not get too much acne but he started using this because when he did get some it was pretty big. This reduced the size of the active acne and once he started making it a routine we noticed fewer breakouts. It is very affordable and did not cause any irritation on his skin.

Drying
At first, this worked great! It helped get rid of all the blemishes, except the blackheads unfortu ately, but even just using this 3x a week dried my face our terribly. I gave it to a family member, though, and it worked great for them

Confident Booster!
I LOVE this product. I am currently 5 months postpartum and my skin was a DISTASTER for the for 3 months pp. I normally don’t struggle with acne, but I’ll insert pictures. It was really bad. I came across this. I read “maximum strength” and I was like I need this. I pair it with the Resurfacing Retinol Serum and it is just amazing. I’m finally confident again!!!!

I love this product, recommended
The 10% works better than 4% which irritated my skin.
I remember it took five days to see visible change. I like the creamy feel cause it's less drying and it cleanses thoroughly.

super effective
I have struggled with acne for so long and been to the dermatologist so many times and they just continued to prescribe expensive and ineffective face wash options. I was recommended to use panoxyl but i didn’t really like the smell or that it stained my towels. I happens to stumble across this face wash and it has truly changed my life. My skin not only has cleared up ...

Cleaning ingredients and light scent. Works very well on tough acne even as a spot treatment. I would recommend to anyone who has stubborn acne on body. Packaging is simple.
