Cerave Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser

CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser is a powerful daily face wash formulated to clear existing acne, help prevent new breakouts from forming, and allow the skin to heal. Unlike many traditional benzoyl peroxide washes that can be harsh and stripping, this formula is designed to maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Core Ingredients & Benefits

• 4% Benzoyl Peroxide: A clinically proven antibacterial agent that penetrates deep into the pores to kill acne-causing bacteria and clear active blemishes and blackheads.

• Three Essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): CeraVe’s signature blend that helps restore and maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier, ensuring the treatment doesn't leave the face feeling tight or dry.

• Hyaluronic Acid: Helps retain the skin’s natural moisture during the cleansing process.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Provides soothing benefits to help calm red, inflamed skin often associated with acne.

Quick Profile

Usage Instructions

1. Wet Skin: Use lukewarm water to wet the face.

2. Massage: Apply a dime-sized amount and massage into the skin in a gentle, circular motion.

3. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

4. Frequency: Start with one application daily to see how your skin reacts, then gradually increase to two times daily (morning and night) if needed or as directed by a doctor.

Important Warnings

• Sun Protection: Benzoyl peroxide can increase sun sensitivity. Apply SPF 30+ daily while using this product.

• Fabric Staining: Benzoyl peroxide is known to bleach fabrics. Use white towels or be careful to rinse completely before drying off to avoid staining colored towels or clothing.

• Avoid Irritants: Avoid using other harsh exfoliants or "scrubs" in the same routine to prevent excessive irritation or dryness.

Pro Tip: This is an excellent choice for "maskne" or body acne (like on the chest or back) due to its creamy, foaming texture that covers large areas easily without being as aggressive as 10% benzoyl peroxide formulas.
