CeraVe Blemish Control Gel

After the cleanser actually dried my skin and caused it to break out this actually did come to the rescue. It cleared up my break outs within a couple of days. The after feel of the product is quite tacky and sticky but I used it under a moisturiser before bed and it got right to work and did its job as claimed.

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 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.

My skin has been noticeably brighter since using this product, but also very moisturised. A perfect face gel for those that are prone to breakouts from heavy moisturisers. This gel is very moisturising but won’t clog your pores at the same time.

I enjoyed using this product - I used this in conjunction with the cleanser from the same line, and I really noticed a difference in how quickly it made a couple of small blemishes I was battling clear up. I used this as more of an area/spot treatment rather than a full facial gel, and didn't notice that it dried out the patches of skin it was used on or anything like that, which was nice. It's always hard to pinpoint one product that helps clear a blemish up, but I enjoyed using this one and will be keeping it on hand for the next little breakout!

Fragrance free, goes on smoothly and absorbs fast. Made my skin feel soft after application and didn’t dry it out which I was surprised. I used this in the evening after the cleanser as recommend and I found it works well as a combo. Small application hole that’s handy as you don’t need to much to go a long way. I noticed after a week the difference in my pores and blemishes. Would recommend to others and I will continue to purchase myself.

I found the CeraVe Blemish Control gel really easy to incorporate into my morning routine. It comes in a 40ml tube. The gel is clear and light making it really easy to apply. It is odourless which is great for those with sensitive skin. My 13 year old son also tried this as he has started having breakouts - he found it did work and paired well with the Blemish Control Cleanser. We both felt it made our faces feel less oily and felt 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. It also aided in reducing the oily skin. My son being a teen, prefers to use the gel instead of both the Cleanser and the gel combined. He prefers the spot application instead of the full face wash from the Cleanser. I perfer to use both as I like to wash my whole face to help prevent and also to attack the blemishes already present.

I must admit, I was a tad sceptic, as most gel's feels sticky on your skin. Not this one! Once applied you won't even know it is there! My 2 teenage boys even climbed into it and it really did work as it states & the bonus is that it did not dry out my skin nor my boys. It definitely did reduced breakouts and when applied to existing ones, by next day it was less inflamed and much better already. I will definitely get this again & although I won't use it the whole time, as I'm 47 and only get the occasional break out before my periods, it definitely did help & it did work for my teenage boys age 14 & 17.

My pores also definitely was minimised.

So my overall verdict on this would be it does what it states & even more!
