Just ok…

I found this cleanser to be really average. It has a nice enough texture and you get a decent amount for the price. The packaging isn’t anything special but it does the job. I didn’t notice much of a difference in my blemishes to be honest. I would recommend other products over this one

CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser

I'll start off with the packaging. Call me snobbish, but I do not like a cluttered bathroom top. Things must look aesthetic to me. This cleanser fitted in nice with its simple, white pump bottle on my counter.

The product self was really good & my face did feel so much cleaner afterwards. I know it is most probably a clisé, but my face felt fresh, clean and hydrated afterwards. Most times these types of cleaners dries out your face, but not this one. I think I've fallen in love with it & will definitely be using this going forward.

After two weeks of using it, I can definitely state that there is an improvement in my skin, especially my pores.

Tips: Use it morning & evenings as stated and you will not regret it.

A bit drying

I definitely have acne-prone, blemish-prone skin and I normally use water in the morning then a double or triple cleanse at night. I like the pump dispenser which makes it good for everyday home use but would not be great for travelling. It pumps out as a clear gel which foams up easily.

Sadly, I found it's a little too drying for me. I genuinely feel this would be a superior option for those with particularly oily skin but for those with more combo oily skin like myself, I'm afraid it might be overkill.

Great cleanser for sensitive skin

I have really enjoyed using this cleanser, it's fragrance free so good for those who have sensitive skin, it lathers nicely to clean off my makeup, and, the pump is easy to use and doesn't feel flimsy. After I cleanse my face, I'll wipe my face with toner and I noticed that there was very little make-up left on my face. I usually use two pumps for my whole face + neck and decolletage. The cleanser is quite thick but with a bit of water it lathers up quite nicely. I haven't noticed much difference with my blackheads but I can say that I haven't had any new breakouts. I would be very happy to repurchase this!

Taking back Control of Breakouts

I found the CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser is easy to incorporate into my morning routine. It comes in a 236ml pump action bottle. The Cleanser comes out as a gel but quickly turns into a soap and is easy to create a lather once massaged into my face. It doesnt have a scent and is easy to rinse off. My 13 year old son also tried this as he has started having breakouts - he found it did work and made his face feel less oily and more fresh. My son and I used this for a little over a week and we did find the breakouts were more controlled and less angry looking. It made our skin feel fresh and clean and did appear to prevent breakouts. My son preferred the gel as it was easier to apply however would be happy to use the Cleanser in the shower.

CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser

This is the third CeraVe cleanser I have used (the SA Smoothing Cleanser and the Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser being the others) and I would say this is probably my second preferred from the three.

This cleanser is a clear gel formula, which lightly foams when applied to the face, its gentle and does a fine job of cleansing the skin without drying and is gentle for a product specifically for blemishes, but I didn't see a reduction in breakouts and blemishes whilst using it.

The thing I love about the CeraVe cleansers, is the bottle is bigger than most at 236ml so it lasts a really decent amount of time and is great value for the price, and they have a pump which is convenient for applying.

Overall, it is a fine cleanser, and I will continue to use it until it's all gone, but for my skin, I prefer the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser and will re-purchase that once this one is used up :)

CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser

I love this cleanser. I had a couple of small active breakouts when I started using this, and I really noticed the difference between this cleanser and my usual over the next couple of days. The consistency is what you know and love from CeraVe, and I found that despite it being a blemish control cleanser, it wasn't super harsh or drying which I appreciate as my skin can lean sensitive sometimes.

Tips: I used this in conjunction with the CeraVe Blemish Control Gel and really recommend using both if you're trying to zap an annoying blemish!

Cerave blemish control cleanser

I have combination skin which gets a little oily throughout the day and mild acne, this cleanser is gentle and doesn't dry my skin out. It's clear in colour, has no fragrance and the pump is handy and easy to use. I used the cleanser morning and night and I could feel and see the difference in my blemishes. Available online for a reasonable price. I would recommend this to others as a trusted brand and good quality product.

Great ingredients!

This cleanser has your skin in mind. It doesn't seem to strip away the natural oils in your skin as do many blemish control cleansers. I didn't feel like my skin was squeaky clean, which I was really pleased about. I feel like this is the type of cleanser that I could use all the time as it's not stripping my natural barrier. I love that it includes ceramides to help keep the skin moisturised, as I have some quite dry parts on my skin too. The gel has a nice feel about it and is really clear. It goes on really nicely and feels really gentle. I love the little pump bottle, which makes it so much quicker and easier to use, especially in the shower. After using this product for some time I noticed that my skin was losing some of those little bumps and was starting to feel a lot smoother. No blemishes either, so perhaps it was preventing them from even thinking about starting. This product worked really well for my skin and for the price it would be definitely something that I would purchase again. I'd also like my daughter to try it to see if it works for her.

cerave Blemish control

first I have to say I don't like cleansers where you wash your face I use ones that use a cotton ball or pad so was hard to get into using but we got there. I have sensitive skin and get allergic reactions to lots of products but none with this so a bonus my skin felt nice and soft and clean after use unfortunately this arrived whilst I had no acne so can't review how it worked for that. no strong smells or irritation liked that. I have quite oily skin and this helped it feel less oily... I would use again probably not daily but a couple of times a week or if I have a breakout don't need much so we'll worth the money as it'll last

Tips: you don't need much to wash with so be mindful when getting out I used way to much the first couple of times
