  • Great product, good value. Great product, good value.
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been using CeraVe products for quite a while now. In fact, I have tried all of their products in their salicylic acid line. That includes this cleanser, the lotion, and the rough and bumpy skin cream. All of their products are top quality. This one is no exception. It arrived well packaged, and in good condition, and it did not leak at all in transit. It is legitimately fragrance free. It has a smooth, non-greasy texture, that makes you wonder whether or not it’s even a soap, but it lathers up nicely. Sometimes I like to use it with an ultrasonic facial scrubber. They pair beautifully together. It leaves my skin feeling very fresh and clean. It has a smoothing quality to it because of the salicylic acid. Despite the fact that I have sensitive skin, it does not cause any irritation at all. I haven’t tried it as a make up remover, as I usually use micellar water for that, but I suspect it would work quite nicely. I decided to buy it on Amazon because it was actually cheaper than buying it in my local drugstore. In that regard, I think this is an excellent value. ... show more

  • Gentle but Leaves My Skin Feeling Clean ✨
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve recently started taking skincare more seriously, especially because of hormonal acne, and this cleanser has been a nice addition to my routine. It leaves my skin feeling really clean and smooth without feeling stripped or dry afterward. I like that it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough to use consistently. The formula feels lightweight, and a little goes a long way. I’ve also noticed my skin texture looking smoother since using it. Overall, a great cleanser if you want something effective but still gentle on the skin. ... show more

  • Saved my skin! Saved my skin!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
To make the long story short, this is great for dry, sensitive skin, and it really helps clear acne! Full review: I've had acne since I was 10, and back in the summer of 2016, I was prescribed birth control and a few months of Retin-A cream. Retin-A cream can be really harsh, so I initially only used it for my body acne and not my face. Eventually I started using a tiny amount a few times a week to help my remaining facial acne as the birth control continued to clear it and to help smooth some wrinkles and maybe fade my acne scars. However, I was still using St. Ives apricot scrub with salicylic acid and some roc retinol cream a few nights a week also. Add in some time in the sun with no sunblock, and I ended up with a terribly burned face. This, along with the dryness from a Colorado fall/early winter made my skin extremely dry and painful. I couldn't even apply moisturizer without it burning. Needless to say, I had to stop using any face wash. The dryness also started to make my skin break out, and I couldn't treat it with anything. After desperately googling remedies for my dry skin and forming acne, I started using a mixture of tea tree, argan, jojoba, rose hip, and sometimes castor oil on my face along with frequent honey masks. This fixed my dry skin, which store bought moisturizers for extremely dry skin couldn't do, but I still had terrible acne, like the worst I've ever had in my life. I started using a bar of Cerave moisturizing soap because it was on clearance at walmart for like $1 and I'd heard of people using it for acne. This helped to make my face feel cleaner, but it didn't really help my acne. I knew I needed something that could exfoliate my skin, but there was no way I was going to use something as harsh as the St. Ives scrub again. I decided to try this because I did like the Cerave bar soap even though it didn't help my acne, and this has at least some salycilic acid for exfoliation. When I first used it, I didn't think it was really going to help my acne because the consistency is so smooth and it doesn't seem like it could really exfoliate. However, after 1-2 weeks, I started to notice my skin clearing up. Slowly but surely, this face wash helped to almost completely clear my skin. I had also started taking my birth control more regularly, added a probiotic supplement, and started using vitamin c on my face, so I can't say this is the only thing that helped my acne, but it certainly contributed a lot. I also eventually started using an electric face brush to help exfoliate, and I think that could've helped. I still get acne around my period, and because I'm a college senior, so I'm always super stressed, don't get enough sleep, and don't always eat right. Also, you can't tell from the pictures, but I have quite a few blackheads on my nose. The face wash has helped clear some of those and make them smaller, but I have yet to find a product that actually completely gets rid of them, and I've tried many. Even with the blackheads, my skin is so much better now. This face wash saved my skin, and I think it's worth every penny! Pictures: Picture 1- The right side is a picture from February 14, 2017 without any makeup after starting my oil treatment. The left side is from April 7, 2017 with makeup, but you can still see how awful my skin was. I didn't start using the face wash until around the end of April. Picture 2- The left part is from July 7, 2017, and the two on the right are both from July 17, 2017. I am wearing makeup in all of these pictures, but you can tell that my skin had improved significantly. Few pimples, but lots of acne scars from the breakout. Picture 3- Both were taken August 21, 2017 with make up. Once again you can see I don't have many pimples, just terrible acne scars. Picture 4- The left part was taken December 12, 2017. I was testing a BB cream, so it is cover the bottom half of my face, but you can see that my skin looks pretty clear. The top right side was taken December 13 with the BB cream on my entire face. The bottom right picture was taken today with no makeup. As I said previously, I still get pimples from stress and periods, but they are usually small and mild instead of the giant lumps I was getting before, and they go away really quickly using cosrx pimple patches (definitely check those out) and vitamin c serum. Also, please note that I do have freckles, so most of the spots on my face are just freckles or dark marks from old acne I am still trying to get rid of. Sorry for the long review, and all the pictures with makeup (I didn't take many without makeup when my skin was that bad), but I hope it helped! ... show more

  • Love it
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Effective Cleanser That Leaves Skin Feeling Fresh and Smooth The CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser has become a staple in my skincare routine. It does an excellent job of cleansing the skin while gently exfoliating, leaving my face feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed without feeling stripped or overly dry. The salicylic acid helps keep pores clear and has noticeably improved the appearance of rough texture and occasional breakouts. I appreciate that it provides gentle exfoliation without being harsh, making it suitable for regular use. One of my favorite things about this cleanser is that it contains ingredients that help support the skin's natural barrier while cleansing. After each use, my skin feels balanced, hydrated, and comfortable rather than tight or irritated. The cleanser rinses away easily, doesn't leave a residue, and works well with the rest of my skincare products. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts quite a while. Overall, this is a high-quality cleanser that effectively cleans, exfoliates, and refreshes the skin while remaining gentle enough for everyday use. It's a great choice for anyone looking to improve skin texture and maintain a healthy-looking complexion. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Gentle hut not very effective
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cleanser is gentle and doesn’t dry out my skin, which I liked, but I didn’t see much improvement in breakouts. It feels nice to use and cleanses well, but it wasn’t strong enough to make a noticeable difference for me. Probably better for maintenance than actually treating acne.

  • Not a daily cleanser for sensitive skin
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Not a daily cleanser for sensitive skin but a magnificent exfoliater to gentle exfoliating facial wash if used in small amounts. It doesn't irritate or strip my skin as long as I use in small amounts and not daily, which is impressive considering I have rosacea, hence a litte extra sensitive. I use it once or twice a week and thats just right. When I use this exfoliating wash it leaves my face feeling clean, refreshed, and more importantly smooth. I find my skin doesn't feel as textured or oily yet it does so without leaving it dry flaky or patchy, which allows me to put makeup on much more smoothly. Blemishes are also kept in check. It's no miracle but it does help. I even found it works great to exfoliate my dry feet, leaving heals much more smoother. However, less is more with this product. Too much (I mean anything more than a pea size) dries out my skin which in turn activates flakes and boosts oiliness that then gets trapped with the dry flakes which in turn quickly flares up the blemishes. So quantity is key here. Also, note that this is not a foaming cleanser. At least it doesn't really foam up as much as I would like. I miss the big lathering feel and took a min to get use to lack of it. Although this is a good exfoliater I find that this cleanser struggles with washing off makeup completely, especially color correcters and foundation. You will need to use a gentle makeup remover first for better results. Overall, its a good exfoliating cleanser but I wish it was more foamy and strong enough to wash makeup on its own in one go, but since its not my daily cleanser it is not a deal breaker. ... show more

  • Leaves Face Soft, Smooth & Clean
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using this facial cleanser daily for nearly a month. My skin has gotten smoother, milia is reduced, and the tone is more even. This cleanser is not drying, washes any make-up off easily. Be careful to avoid getting this into your eyes, as with any cleanser. I use a lima bean size pump on a damp facial sponge to gently wash my face, rinse with clean warm water, them follow up with either Belif moisturizer or Aveeno baby moisture lotion. My skin is soft, never dry. Highly recommend this as a daily facial cleanser ... show more

  • Holy Grail Cleanser - My Skin Has Never Looked Better!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser has become my absolute holy grail skincare product! I've been using it for three months now, and the transformation in my skin has been nothing short of miraculous. This cleanser has earned a permanent spot in my daily routine, and I genuinely can't imagine my skincare regimen without it. I've always struggled with rough, bumpy skin texture and occasional breakouts. I'd tried numerous cleansers that were either too harsh and left my skin feeling stripped and tight, or too gentle and didn't effectively address my concerns. CeraVe has struck the perfect balance. The salicylic acid gently exfoliates and unclogs my pores without causing irritation or over-drying, which is exactly what my skin needed. What sets this cleanser apart is the phenomenal ingredient combination. The hyaluronic acid keeps my skin hydrated and plump, the niacinamide has visibly improved my skin tone and reduced redness, and the ceramides strengthen my skin barrier. I can actually see and feel the difference - my skin is smoother, clearer, and has a healthy glow that I never thought was possible for me. The texture of this cleanser is perfect - it's creamy but not heavy, and it foams up nicely without being stripping. I use it morning and night, and my skin feels thoroughly cleansed but never tight or uncomfortable. It removes all traces of dirt, oil, and even light makeup without any harsh scrubbing. My pores look visibly smaller and cleaner, and I've noticed significantly fewer blackheads on my nose and chin. Within the first two weeks, I noticed my skin texture becoming smoother. The rough patches on my forehead and cheeks started disappearing, and my overall complexion looked more refined. By week six, friends and coworkers were asking me what I'd been doing differently because my skin looked so radiant. That's when I knew this product was truly special. I also love that it's fragrance-free and developed with dermatologists. My skin is somewhat sensitive, and I've never experienced any irritation, redness, or adverse reactions. The bottle is a generous size and lasts for months, making it an incredible value for the quality you're getting. This cleanser works beautifully with the rest of my skincare products and has actually made my other products work better because my skin is properly prepped and exfoliated. I'm absolutely in love with CeraVe, and I recommend it to everyone! ... show more
