  • Helpful for managing acne. Itchy the first few days.
Bought this and some other CeraVe stuff (cleanser and moisturizer) for my skincare routine. I have sensitive acne prone skin so I started out only using it every other day then every day and I'm working towards using it twice a day while taking my time because the last thing I want to do is to break out. Easy to apply just squeeze a little on your skin or fingers then rub it in, your skin absorbs it and it doesn't leave any visible residue. I was itchy when I first started using it, but that most likely stems from my skin being sensitive and not used to both the products I was using, and it went away in a week anyways. If it was really bothering me I just washed it off with my cleanser but I only had to do that once. If you also have sensitive skin and it's making you itchy but it isn't getting better or is getting worse please stop using it. I only continued using it because my skins reaction to it was improving, all sensitive skin is not the same so just because my skin was able to adapt to it doesn't mean yours can or will! Has a slight smell (not particularly bad or anything imo) but after your skin absorbs it you can't smell it or it's barely noticeable. This hasn't broken me out and has been really good for managing my acne so far. If you have a strong sense of smell I recommend doing a smell test of this first just to be safe. If you have sensitive skin and are looking to buy this please look at all the reviews from others with sensitive skin (positive and negative) to get a better look of how this could affect you. 5/5 (was a 4/5 but since I am no longer itchy I raised it) ... show more

  • Cystic acne.
Excellent. Helps dissolve cystic acne. Had been having problems with small acne bumps along my chin. Kept returning.

  • BEST acne spot treatment
I have repurchased this acne spot gel because it is just that good!! It is one of the only treatments that will work on deep, underground acne. The price is super worth it because a tiny bit goes a long way and I swear one of these will last you a year even with regular use. It goes on completely clear. I have sensitive combination skin and it's never given me a problem/irritation. I do not have cystic acne or rosacea so I would be mindful of that, but for most folks that deal with acne it's really great. ... show more

  • Effective acne treatment, but slightly drying
This acne control gel has a lightweight texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It fits well into a daily skincare routine and works nicely with other basic skincare products. With consistent use, it helped keep breakouts more under control and my skin looked clearer overall. The formula feels gentle, but I did notice that it can be a bit drying, especially if used too frequently. Using a moisturizer alongside it helps balance that out. Overall, it’s a solid acne treatment that performs well, though those with dry or sensitive skin may want to start slowly and make sure to keep their skin well moisturized. ... show more

  • Great product
Awesome product .. I had acne due to hormones imbalance and after applying every night it made my skin look cleaner. Obviously it took time but results were great.

  • ecent for Mild Acne, But Not a Game-Changer
I’ve been using the CeraVe Acne Control Gel for a few weeks, and while it has some benefits, it didn’t completely meet my expectations. Here’s my honest take: Pros: Gentle Formula: It’s non-irritating and doesn’t dry out my skin, which is great for those with sensitive or combination skin. Lightweight Texture: The gel is easy to apply and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or heavy. Hydrating Ingredients: The inclusion of ceramides and niacinamide helps maintain my skin barrier, leaving my skin feeling soft. Cons: Slow Results: While it slightly reduced some blemishes, it took weeks to see any noticeable improvement. It’s not ideal if you’re looking for faster results. Not Effective for Severe Acne: This product seems to work better for mild breakouts, but it didn’t do much for larger or more stubborn pimples. Price vs. Performance: For the cost, I expected better results. There are other products with similar ingredients at a lower price point. Final Thoughts: The CeraVe Acne Control Gel is a decent option if you have mild acne or want a gentle treatment to prevent breakouts. However, if you’re dealing with more persistent or severe acne, this may not be strong enough on its own. It’s good but not exceptional. ... show more

  • CeraVe Acne Control Gel. Working Well for My Daughter's Skin
I ordered this gel for my almost 12-year-old daughter who's been dealing with breakouts, mostly on her forehead. I was looking for an alternative to another acne treatment we had been using, and this one matched the ingredients I wanted. We've been using it for about two weeks now, and I'm happy with how it's working. Her forehead looks noticeably clearer: the pimples, closed comedones, and blackheads have all improved. No allergic reactions, no redness, no irritation. It's gentle enough for her skin. The price is average for this type of pharmacy skincare, but honestly, with products like this, the only thing that really matters is whether they work. This one does. We'll keep using it and see how things go long-term, but so far, so good. ... show more
