CeraVe Blemish Control Gel

This product works so well with the blemish control cleanser. I have never used a product like this in a preventative manner. Usually I use a spot cream after it's too late, but this seems like the perfect roadblock to blemished skin. I was a little bit concerned that it would dry my skin out, however it has lots of skin loving ingredients and I didn't feel like it was drying things out too much. I would still use a moisturiser however. Perhaps if you were to use this on it's own it may make some dryer areas of your skin dry out, but I haven't actually tried this to see. When I use this I only use a pretty tiny amount which seems to go a long way. This is a tidy little tube that easily fits anywhere for those little emergencies or to take on holiday, which is always super handy. If this product keeps working well the way it is, I'd be keen to keep using it!

after cleansing with the cerave Blemish Control Cleanser I'd apply this and it's very light and smell free no reactions on my sensitive skin I quite often get allergic reactions to skin products but not with this I had no acne during the testing period so can't say if it helps with that but would use both products again when I have a breakout. easy to apply don't need much these products have been well made to not need heaps so bare that in mind.. I think I've seen some improvement in my skin tone but may still be a bit early

I initially thought this was a spot treatment but after reading the directions of use I discovered it’s supposed to be used all over the face. I was a bit nervous about this as I’m quite sensitive to acids in my routine. This contains beta hydroxy acids to help with acne and alpha hydroxy acids to help exfoliate and smooth the skin. The first few times I used it I didn’t notice any tingling but the more I used it I seemed to become more sensitive. I have started using it on specific areas of my face (where I am breaking out) and it has been working well. My pimples aren’t as red and inflamed the next day and seem to disappear a lot quicker. I would recommend this to anyone with acne but maybe build up from a spot treatment to all over the face. The packaging is great, it’s a squeezy tube and the tube itself is quite big so definitely value for money.

I have used this Blemish Control Gel for a few weeks now. It helped minimise the appearance of my acne spots. Some mornings after using the gel at night time, my skin felt a little heavy, like I needed to wash it off, however I may have used too much product at the time. Overall a really good product that I would recommend.

I used this gel every evening after cleansing with CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser. It came in a 40ml tube with a handy applicator tip for targeting directly to the blemishes. I applied to my whole face (excluding eyes) as a preventative. A little goes a long way so you don't need to use a lot. This is non irritating and fragrance free. My skin only has occasional hormonal breakouts and during my 3 weeks of use, I am happy to say that I had none so will follow through and use till finished with hopefully the same result. My skin definitely feels healthier and clearer since using this. At around $23 per tube, made in France and developed with dermatologists this is a great value top range product.

This gel has two AHAs (glycolic and lactic acid) to smooth the skin, 2% salicylic acid (to target blemishes) and niacinamide to calm the skin and of course CeraVes essential ceramides. Luckily I received this after I had some nasty hormonal breakouts. I washed my face with the blemish control cleanser and after applied this directly onto my blemishes. I didn’t get any stinging or burning, I use some actives already in my routine. The next day I woke up and they were flatter. I was super impressed, I kept using this routine and they were gone within 3 days.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who struggles with acne, or even like me who has combination skin with hormonal acne. I’m gonna be bringing this out anytime a pimple pops out over a pimple patch.

Tbh I was a bit nervous about using this product. Traditionally I have found products aimed at clearing blemishes very drying on my skin. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this DIDN'T dry my skin out and it didn't leave me with that sticky feeling so many gels and serums leave on the skin. As a further bonus, it was quick to absorb.

The packaging is also well designed. The screw top is easy to open and, by standing on the top, you don't have to shake the package to get any product out.

How effective was it? I have been using this in combination with the cleanser and together, they've been keeping my skin calm and mainly clear, even when I haven't been looking after it as well as I should.

This is a good product for those people who want blemish treatment that won't dry them out. Some love for us dry-skinned people who still get spots!

I used this on a few active spots I had and unfortunately it didn't go anywhere towards eradicating them. However on the flip side, it also didn't irritate my skin, make it peel etc. I probably wouldn't purchase this but I did like the blemish control cleanser.
