CeraVe Blemish Control Gel

I picked this up in the Vault, thanks BR! I have dry skin and am prone to pimples especially at that time of the month. I always seem to get one big sucker that takes ages to heal. So this sounded like it suited my skin perfectly and I was keen to start using it.

It comes in a 40ml squeezy tube with a thin nozzle which is great for dispensing a little amount as you really don't need much. It is clear with a sticky consistency. I use this morning and night, but in the morning I dab it onto any spots and at night I spread a thin layer all over my face. If you use too much your face will feel sticky so just remember a little goes a long way!

This clears up any existing spots superfast! My skin looks very clear and healthy. I use this together with the matching cleanser and I think they make a great duo. Although it is only 40ml I am still using the same tube and have run out of the cleanser first. Highly recommend it for anyone suffering with blemishes.

I have acne along my jawline and chin that has persisted for years. I’ve tried different AHA and BHA products, varying strengths of retinol, benzoyl peroxide, and many other products.

I saw this CeraVe treatment in Chemist Warehouse, and based on the ingredients and the good reputation of the brand I purchased it on a whim.

After one use in the evening I noticed a more even complexion in the morning - but I have this with any AHA product. I knew not to be fooled into thinking it would actually clear my acne long term.

But after a week I noticed generally clearer skin. And now after 2 months I’ve decided this is THE ONLY product that has made a significant difference in my spots. I still get little bumps which would usually turn into inflamed and painful pimples, but now they just settle down on their own. There are also far fewer bumps in general,

I haven’t noticed a significant impact on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from years of acne scarring, but I know it is hard to lift this type of pigmentation.

I wish this product was around when I was younger and suffering from breakout after breakout - it is incredible!

I put my hand up for this trial team as I am struggling with monthly breakouts - thanks periods!

This product is a lightweight gel that is fragrance free and easily absorbed. I followed the recommendations to use this at night; using it on my breakouts after cleansing.

My breakouts would usually take over a week to clear; this gel has redness reduced the morning after use and my pimples were gone by day three.

I couldn't be without this now!

Overall great product, when using this make sure to pair with the Blemish Control Cleanser as both products compliment each other and give best results. Dermatologically testes which means it’s perfect for sensitive skin such as mine, I break out in eczema and cannot handle harsh products on my skin otherwise it tends to leave more damage done then good. Fragrance free also which is another tick, I found this blemish gel to be easy to use simply apply gel to skin daily and results tend to show within the 2 weeks period which I found did on my skin, Gel like texture is perfect for easy use and great to apply to skin, I look forward to finishing bottle to see long lasting results

I loved this gel as well as the matching cleanser, it’s fragrance-free, lightweight and easy to use - I just apply a thin layer to where I need it around my chin, nose and forehead but you can apply it all over your face if you need to. As I use it mostly as a spot treatment this will definitely last me a really long time. It costs $28 at Chemist Warehouse but they often have specials on Cerave products so you can get it cheaper if you keep an eye out. For me this is a winner as it really delivered results, it did a great job at keeping my pores clear, my pimples came to a head faster, it really reduced the time it took for my spots to heal and left my skin feeling smooth and clear. I’d highly recommend this for anyone struggling with breakouts and I’ll definitely be purchasing again.

With this a little goes a long way and you only need the size of a pea at most for your face. This is really lightweight and smooth to apply and I love not only how it is absorbs into the skin fairly quickly once applied but also leaves your skin looking good and feeling light. Pairing this with the CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser definitely gives your skin the best results compared to only using one or the other.

I did not know a lot about this brand when I tried this product, I’ve never used any products by CeraVe. The packaging is a little clinical, it’s not inviting sitting there in your bathroom but let me tell you the results were fantastic!

The consistency of the gel is what I would call gluggy, and quite different to the creamer texture of similar products aimed at blemishes on the skin. It is kind of surprising how far out it spreads from a small amount so start with as little as possible when applying.

There was something I’m finding difficult to describe other than to say my face just feels overall clearer, parts of my face that are not prone to break outs feel clearer as well (I have combination skin, some dry patches some prone to break outs). It’s an overall look and feel – I feel more confident with a bare face even! I would definitely recommend this product.

I was excited to try CeraVe - having never used this brand before. I was particularly excited to try this Blemish Control Gel as I still have acne into my thirties and keen to be rid of it!

The 40ml white tube comes in white cardboard packaging, which is rather minimalist except for all of the text being repeated in multiple langues. The tube has a flat screw off lid, so easy to store and apply small amounts of product.

The gel is clear with a think almost sticky consistency, until applied to a your face. The instructions aren't clear about how much to use so I applied liberally - but clarity would be nice! The product is easily applied across the face and dries quite quickly. I didn't notice any distinguishable fragrance.

I did find it gave me some uncomfortable tingling around the edges of my nose and mouth for a few seconds, but no noticeable redness. I was also a little concerned by the many warnings about not getting this product in your eyes.

After 2 weeks of use I noticed a very slight improvement to my blemishes, but then again most of their claims are based on 4+ weeks of use so maybe my skin will improve even more over time. Will have to wait and see!

The thing I found most frustrating was the lack or information regarding what to use in conjunction with this product other than the blemish control cleanser Should I be using toner? Moisturiser? Where in the routine do these fit? Blemish Control Gel should be used in the evening only so should I use the Blemish Control Cleanser and any random toner and moisturiser in the morning and just the cleanser and gel at night? Normally products mention the rest of the routine to get the best results but this range lacks this information.

This blemish control gel is a clear consistency similar to a serum and is non fragranced so perfect for sensitive skin types. I found it soaked into my skin quite quickly, wasnt sticky at all and didnt leave my skin stripped or dry. I tend to get hormonal acne around my chin area and this has helped clear it up! My skin is visibly clearer and feels so much nicer and softer.

I thought this was just ok. I didn’t notice a huge difference in pore size or in my blemishes overall. Didn’t dry the skin which was nice. Not super exciting packaging. Wouldn’t recommend
