Product Features and Benefits

Gel to Foam Salicylic Acid Cleanser

Dispenses as a clear gel and transforms into a light, foaming face wash as you lather.

Effectively removes dirt and excess oil, gently exfoliates and penetrates clogged pores to help prevent new acne breakouts.

How to Use

Wet skin with lukewarm water. Massage dime-size amount of Acne Control Cleanser into skin in a gentle circular motion. Rinse.

If going outside, apply sunscreen after using this product. If irritation or sensitivity develops, stop use of both products or ask a doctor

Suitable for Acne Prone Skin

All CeraVe products are developed with dermatologists.

Acne Control Cleanser is formulated without fragrance & parabens and is non-comedogenic & allergy-tested. It is suitable for acne prone skin types.

2% Salicylic Acid, Hectorite Clay , Niacinamide, and Ceramides

2% Salicylic acid treats acne, reduces blackheads, improves the appearance of pores, and penetrates pores to help prevent new breakouts.

Hectorite clay helps absorb oil & helps skin look less shiny.

My Go-To Face Wash—Now My Teen Uses It Too!
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2025
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

This CeraVe Salicylic Acid Cleanser has become a staple in our bathroom! It’s gentle but effective, and I love that it doesn’t dry out my skin while still keeping breakouts in check. The added purifying clay and niacinamide leave my face feeling super clean and refreshed.

Even my teenage son has started using it—and let’s be honest, if a teen voluntarily uses face wash, you know it’s good. It’s helped minimize his blackheads and keeps both our skin looking clearer. Definitely a go-to for any age!

I have been using glycolic acid cleansers for a while now along with toners and lotions. All of which has definitely helped my oily/sensitive skin. Whenever I have used salicylic acid, it always caused me to break out, but I realized it was the alcohol in it that caused my face to become more oily and clogged pores.

This cleanser has no alcohol in it and has dramatically cleared my skin and pours. I use it with an alcohol free salicylic acid toner and then my glycolic acid lotion for my routine. This is a great product and I will continue to use.

I’m impressed.
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2025
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
In 12 hours, overnight, my breakout issue is vastly improving. I’m one evening and one morning cleanse in.

I lean rosacea with breakouts. A tough combo to treat. The breakouts are disappearing this am, former angry spots are smaller and sloughing off - the swelling and redness is diminished, less inflamed.

I tried many, most far more expensive that weren’t working.

It’s not exactly ‘drying’ like non-cream others, it’s softer. I do feel like pores are tighter, but my skin is not. It’s comfortable. Overnight, my T Zone had surface oil - so I cleansed again this morning. This leaves a matte finish and really takes care of that - meaning no shine zones.

It doesn’t leave a perceptible residue, but doesn’t ‘strip’ skin either. I felt a smoothness upon rising it off that was nice, but dry upon blotting water away. Feels ‘clean,’ not tight.

It dissolves and removes the SA peel-slough from former breakout areas gently. I was using my fingers in circular motions, nothing ferocious.

It’s not really foamy, but does mini-foam more than non-foaming cream cleansers recommended for rosacea (that tended to break me out). It’s definitely less foamy than gel ‘foaming’ cleansers. Is quasi-foam a thing? Let’s just say it’s pleasantly, very slightly foamy, no more, no less.

There’s zero scent.
The cleanser is clear to very light griege (due to beneficial clay I guess?).
It opens and closes with a 1/4 nozzle twist easily.
The pump dispenses a small, but face and neck ample dollop, about dime size - well done there!
The container isn’t the most attractive, it’s opaque white and branded overtly - so, every viewer sees ‘acne’ on approach. Lol.

25X skin magnification: there’s less buildup or visible pores, no white or blackheads I can see. I was getting these daily, tiny, white random pustules in areas of rosacea flare. Ew! Gone now - yay. Surface capillaries are less inflamed. Older breakouts are peeling away. Inflamed or bumpy areas have leveled. Skin tone is more uniform and less ’rosacea’ in appearance. I hope I’m pleasantly human hued in another few days.

It’s Day 1.
A few times in the past, new products have this effect then, skin re-tantrums into its bad behavior. So, I’ll update this in a month, but I’m really impressed so far. Overnight, it abated what felt like an uncomfortable, unsightly flare up that wasn’t resolving. I’m glad I purchased the larger volume ‘value’ size.

Though everyone U.S. uniquely different, I don’t think you’d regret this. The only match to it for me, so far, was an insanely priced esthetician brand line with way too many steps. This is wash and go, easy, very economical considering. Happy I tried it.

I hope this review helps.
