Cerave Acne Control Cleanser 237ml

Clinically Proven Acne Control. Barrier-Safe Cleansing.

Meet the cleanser that fights acne without compromising your skin barrier — the CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser. Developed with dermatologists, this gel-based cleanser combines 2% Salicylic Acid with CeraVe's signature blend of three Essential Ceramides and Niacinamide to clear breakouts, unclog pores, and calm skin — all while maintaining the skin's protective barrier. Because clear skin should never come at the cost of healthy skin.

Why You'll Love It

• 2% Salicylic Acid: Maximum-strength BHA that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil, exfoliate dead skin cells, and clear existing breakouts while preventing new ones from forming.
• Barrier-Restoring Ceramides: Three Essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) replenish and reinforce the skin's natural protective barrier — preventing the dryness and irritation commonly associated with acne treatments.
• Niacinamide: Calms redness and inflammation, minimises pores, and helps fade post-acne marks for a clearer, more even complexion over time.
• Non-Drying Formula: Unlike harsh acne cleansers, this gel formula cleanses thoroughly without stripping skin — leaving it feeling balanced, comfortable, and never tight.
• Fragrance-Free & Non-Comedogenic: Free from artificial fragrances and pore-clogging ingredients — safe for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
• MVE Technology: CeraVe's patented Multivesicular Emulsion technology delivers ingredients in a controlled, time-released manner for sustained skin benefits throughout the day.
• Dermatologist Developed: Formulated with dermatologists specifically for acne-prone skin — clinically tested and proven effective.

Key Ingredients

• Salicylic Acid 2%: Oil-soluble BHA that exfoliates inside the pore lining, dissolves sebum plugs, and prevents acne-causing blockages for visibly clearer skin.
• Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): Lipid molecules naturally found in the skin that restore and maintain the protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and shielding against environmental irritants.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Multi-tasking active that reduces inflammation, fades dark spots, minimises pores, and strengthens the skin barrier alongside Ceramides.
• Zinc PCA: Regulates sebum production and reduces blemish-causing bacteria for long-term oil control and clearer skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Maintains skin hydration during cleansing to prevent the dryness and tightness associated with acne treatments.

How to Use

1. Wet your face with lukewarm water.

4. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with a clean towel.
5. Follow with CeraVe moisturiser to maintain skin barrier health.
6. Use morning and/or evening. Start with once daily if new to Salicylic Acid and gradually increase frequency.
