Product Overview

When it comes to skincare, Im always on the lookout for products that can help me keep my oily skin under control. CeraVes Salicylic Acid Cleanser is one of those products that I have been using for a few months now, and Im impressed with the results so far.

The cleanser comes in a small gel form, which is easy to use and dispenses as a clear gel that transforms into a light foaming face wash when you lather it up. Its fragrance free, which is great for those of us with sensitive skin, and it doesnt leave my skin feeling stripped or tight after use. The cleanser contains salicylic acid SA , which is a beta hydroxy acid BHA that helps to remove dead skin cells and reduce blackheads, as well as treating and preventing acne.

Ive found that this product has helped to keep my skin looking clear and healthy, without drying it out. It also contains oil absorbing purifying clay to help reduce clogged pores, and niacinamide to soothe the skin. The most impressive thing about this cleanser is the fact that it contains three essential ceramides 1, 3, 6 II , which are found naturally in the skin and make up 50 of the lipids in the skin barrier. This means that it helps to restore and maintain your natural barrier against environmental aggressors.

Overall, I would highly recommend CeraVes Salicylic Acid Cleanser for anyone who struggles with oily skin or breakouts. Its gentle enough to be used daily but still effective enough to help reduce blemishes and prevent new breakouts from forming. I love how this product helps to keep my pores clear while still leaving my skin feeling hydrated, soft, and healthy looking!
