CeraVe Acne Control Gel is a dermatologist-developed treatment containing 2% salicylic acid along with AHA/BHA exfoliants to clear acne and prevent new breakouts. The lightweight gel formula features three essential ceramides and niacinamide to maintain skin's protective barrier while treating blemishes. This gel treatment is formulated for acne-prone skin and is free of drying alcohol and fragrance. It contains glycolic and lactic acids (AHAs) plus salicylic acid (BHA) for gentle exfoliation. The product helps minimize pores while improving skin texture. For best results, use in the evening after cleansing. Start with once daily application and gradually increase if needed. Contains MVE Technology for time-released hydration. A sunscreen should be used during daytime as the AHAs may increase sun sensitivity.
