CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser

Did not work for me. Made my face rather oiler than usual. Also made my pores bigger than they have been

Unfortunately this cleanser really dried out my skin and caused me to break out instead of doing what it implies and giving clear skin. I found it to be a very drying cleanser which would be great for someone with oily skin but mine is combination leaning more to dry so I have discontinued use.

Probably one of the best face washes I’ve tried if you have combination skin. Doesn’t leave the skin feeling very dry after use. Skin feels moisturised and clean at the same time. Managed to remove my waterproof mascara (would recommend double washing though). If you’re looking for value for your money, this is the product.

The best thing about this was that it made my skin (and hands!) feel really soft. Slight decrease in shine during the day. But I noticed a lot of tiny clogged pores that I never get. So it's a 50/50 for me.

I have always used acne-control cleaners - I'm in my early 30s and battle hormonal acne on my chin. Prior to this I had been using the La Roche Posay Effaclar range. I found this cleanser fairly plain, which is good, but it did have a slightly off-putting 'pharmaceutical' smell (wasn't totally scent-free). However the main thing I have noticed is how soft my skin is, which I haven't found before with acne cleansers as they usually leave my skin quite dry and peeling. I did still get a giant spot on my forehead while using it, but didn't experience any chin acne. All in all I would use this again depending on the retail price.

Too be honest, I was nervous about trialling this product. In the past products aimed at clearing up spots have been really drying to my skin.

I was surprised and relieved to find this face wash wasn't drying at all, even before I'd moisturised.

The bottle was easy to use, with an easy to use open and close mechanism.

To be honest, if I'm conscious about washing my face twice a day almost any cleanser will keep my skin clear, so I decided to up the challenge and also use it on my arms - where I have Keratosis pilaris (those little bumps). Using this product does seem to have reduced the bumps, without drying out my skin, even though I haven't been moisturising my arms after.

This product is not beautiful or luxurious, but it has been doing a solid job of caring for my skin. I'm very happy with it and will probably continue buying it after I finish this bottle.

Typically I get hormonal breakouts from time to time so don't have a great amount of blemishes and my skin is fairly normal mostly. I used this gel to foam on my damp skin with about a half pump from the handy dispenser. I love a product with salicylic acid and this contains 2%. It lathers up well and gives a great deep cleanse. I know this as it removed my daily make-up perfectly as when I toned afterwards, there was no residual make-up left on the cotton ball I used. My skin felt so clean afterwards and not dry at all. For around $25, dermatologist developed and made in France this is a very affordable top quality Cleanser.
