A gel-to-foam cleanser with salicylic acid that clears pores without stripping
CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser is a facial cleanser for blemish-prone, combination to oily skin. Salicylic acid exfoliates the dead cells that clog pores, niacinamide helps regulate oil, and hectorite clay absorbs excess sebum to reduce shine. Three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid protect the skin barrier, so the face does not feel tight after washing.
The texture
A clear gel that turns into a soft foam on damp skin and rinses off easily. It is fragrance-free and leaves the skin clean but comfortable.
Who it suits
- Combination to oily, blemish-prone skin
- Blackheads and visible pores
- Skin that feels tight with harsher cleansers
- Face and body, including back and chest
Worth knowing before you buy: salicylic acid can dry the skin when used alongside other exfoliants or retinoids; start once a day if your skin is reactive. It is not for dry or very sensitive skin.
How long a bottle lasts
A 236ml bottle covers about 2 months of twice-daily use.
