Smoother skin, fewer clogged pores, and not that tight stripped feeling

I have been using this CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser pretty regularly for a while now, and I really like it. I have combination skin, so I appreciate a cleanser that can help with oil, texture, blackheads, and clogged pores without making my skin feel overly dry or stripped.What I like:• Gentle exfoliating cleanser• Helps my skin feel smoother• Leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight• Seems to help with blackheads• Seems to help with clogged pores• Helps with excess oil without overdoing it• Good for my combination skin• Nice option for skin texture concerns• Important to me as I get older and pay more attention to texture and smoothness• Contains salicylic acid• Also formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides• Fragrance-free• Non-comedogenic• Pump bottle is easy to use• Works well as part of a regular skincare routine• Good for both men and women• Does not feel harsh when I use it consistently and follow with moisturizerThings to be aware of:• This is still an exfoliating cleanser, so I would not overdo it if your skin is very dry or very sensitive• If you are new to salicylic acid, I would start slowly and see how your skin reacts• Very dry or sensitive skin may want to start with occasional use instead of daily use• Moisturizer afterward is important• I think this works best when paired with a good moisturizer• It is fragrance-free, so do not expect a scented face wash• Results with clogged pores, blackheads, and texture take consistent useOverall:This has become a regular cleanser for me because it leaves my skin feeling clean, smoother, and not overly dried out. I have combination skin, and it seems to help with excess oil, clogged pores, and blackheads while still being gentle enough for regular use when I follow with moisturizer. I also like that it includes ingredients like salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides, because I want something that helps with texture but still supports my skin as it ages. For me, this is a solid everyday-style exfoliating cleanser that works well without feeling harsh.Ver más

Holy Grail Cleanser - My Skin Has Never Looked Better!

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!

We Both Use and Love It — Great Everyday Cleanser

My husband and I both use the CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser, and we absolutely love it. It’s become a staple in our skincare routines because it really works without irritating the skin.The formula feels gentle but effective. The salicylic acid helps exfoliate and keep pores clear, while the hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides all help soothe and hydrate, so our skin doesn’t feel stripped or tight after washing. It’s definitely softer and smoother compared to other exfoliating face washes I’ve tried.We both have different skin types — mine leans combo and his is more normal — and this cleanser works great for both of us. It’s fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, which is a big plus since neither of us likes heavy scents or anything that clogs pores.I appreciate that it’s effective enough to tackle dullness and congestion, yet mild enough for daily use. The 8-ounce size lasts a while too, so it’s good value.Overall, this cleanser hits the sweet spot between gentle and effective, and we’ll definitely keep repurchasing.Ver más

Solid cleanser, doesn’t really help with blackheads

This is a great cleanser in general, but I bought it to remove blackheads, which it did not do at all. Other than that, it’s a solid cleanser. You get a lot for the price, and it’s a pretty large bottle. It’s not too drying as long as you apply moisturizer afterwards, and it has a good texture that feels nice on the skin. However I didn’t really notice any huge improvements in my skin, or my super stubborn blackheads, but it’s different for anyone.Ver más

Saved my skin!

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!
