Combat acne with CERAVE Acne Control Cleanser. Formulated with 4% benzoyl peroxide, this gentle yet effective cleanser fights acne-causing bacteria while providing deep cleansing for clearer, healthier looking skin. Keep your complexion clean and clear with CERAVE.
Using CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser properly can help maximize its effectiveness in treating acne. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Preparation:
- Ensure your hands are clean before touching your face to avoid transferring dirt and bacteria.
-
Wet Your Face:
- Splash lukewarm water onto your face. This helps to open up the pores, making it easier for the cleanser to work.
-
Apply the Cleanser:
- Dispense a small amount of the cleanser (about a dime-sized amount) onto your fingertips.
- Gently massage the cleanser onto your face in circular motions, focusing on the acne-prone areas. Avoid the delicate eye area.
-
Rinse Thoroughly:
- Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring all the cleanser is removed.
-
Pat Dry:
- Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing your skin as it can cause irritation.
-
Follow-Up Care:
- Apply any acne treatments, serums, or moisturizers as part of your skincare routine. Since the CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser contains salicylic acid, it’s important to keep your skin hydrated. Consider using a non-comedogenic moisturizer.
Additional Tips:
-
Frequency of Use:
- Start by using the cleanser once a day. If your skin tolerates it well, you can increase to twice daily (morning and night). If you experience dryness or irritation, reduce the frequency.
-
Sun Protection:
- Salicylic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
-
Consistency:
- Regular use is key to seeing results. Stick to a consistent skincare routine.
-
Patch Test:
- If you are using this cleanser for the first time, consider doing a patch test on a small area of your skin to ensure you don’t have an adverse reaction.
Using CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser as part of a comprehensive skincare routine can help manage acne effectively while maintaining your skin's overall health.
