This is an effective cleanser. I usually use lactic acid as my exfoliant and this cleanser left my skin looking as smooth as lactic acid does, so I was impressed with the results as I haven't found cleansers to be as effective as directly applying acids.
The scent reminds me of the Neutrogena and Clean and Clear products that I used as a teenager and the formula seems similar too. I don't mind the scent, but I find that CeraVe's products have a stronger chemical smell than other fragrance free products with similar ingredients.
I found it had a slightly more water-y consistency than I like my cleansers to have, but aside from that the texture was fine. I did feel slight irritation after initial use but this is probably because of the salicylic acid and it subsided quickly.
Overall this left my skin looking smooth and I would recommend it to people looking for a simple, effective cleanser.
I get KP on my arms, after multiple products in the bin, hundreds of dollars down the drain, I finally found something that actually works. It was recommended on a Derm Blog and I’m so thankful I gave it a try. I use it in the shower every morning and wow !! Incredible results!! 1000/10 !! Affordable and it works !!
Tips: Pair with the moisturiser from the same range for speedier results !!
