Cerave Acne Control Cleanser is a cleanser containing salicylic acid that is effective in controlling acne and can be used daily to gently exfoliate dead skin cells that clog pores and worsen acne. It can also be used in conjunction with other over-the-counter and prescription acne treatments to help maintain clear, healthy skin, but see the dermatologist first. This new Acne Control Cleanser with 2% Salicylic Acid is developed to treat acne, minimize blackheads, and improve the appearance of pores. Purifying clay also helps absorb excess oil. Cerave is the number one dermatologist-recommended brand for acne. This cool, gel-to-foam Salicylic Acid cleanser with Oil-Absorbing Technology reduces shine while efficiently eliminating excess oil and grime. It also softly exfoliates and unclogs pores to help stop new breakouts of acne. Acne Control Cleanser also lessens acne while leaving the face clean, moisturized, and soft. It does this by preserving the skin's protective barrier with three important Ceramides and by calming the skin with Niacinamide.
