Best Cleanser I’ve Ever Used for My Extremely Oily Skin — Over a Year of Use
I’ve been using CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser for over a year, usually twice a day, so I’ve had plenty of time to see how it performs on my skin. After trying different face washes over the years, this is honestly one of the best cleansers I have ever used, especially for controlling oil.My skin is very oily. With many cleansers, my face feels clean immediately after washing, but within a couple of hours the oil starts coming back. This cleanser has been completely different for me. After washing my face with it, I can usually go around 6–7 hours before I start noticing significant oil returning. That is probably the biggest reason I have continued buying and using it for more than a year.It leaves my face feeling very clean and much less greasy, but what impresses me most is that the oil control actually lasts for hours rather than just 20 or 30 minutes after washing.The texture is also nice and it spreads easily across wet skin. You don’t need a huge amount for each wash, so one bottle can last a reasonable amount of time. I also personally like the smell. It isn’t something I find unpleasant or overpowering.That being said, it hasn’t solved every skin concern I have.I still have blackheads, even after using this consistently for such a long time. I was hoping regular use would completely clear them, but that hasn’t happened for me. I still sometimes have to deal with the visible blackheads separately. So if you’re buying this specifically expecting all of your blackheads to disappear, I wouldn’t automatically expect that based on my experience.I’ve also noticed that sometimes my skin can feel or look a little bumpy/textured. I can’t say for certain that the cleanser itself is causing that because there are many things that can affect skin texture, but it’s something I’ve noticed while using it.Despite those negatives, the oil control is outstanding for my skin. That’s what keeps me coming back to this product. Finding something that can keep my naturally oily face from becoming shiny again for approximately 6–7 hours is difficult, and this has consistently worked better for me than the other cleansers I’ve tried.What I love:* Excellent oil control for my very oily skin* Keeps my face feeling less oily for around 6–7 hours* I’ve successfully used it twice daily for over a year* Leaves my skin feeling thoroughly clean* Doesn’t immediately leave me looking shiny again* A little product goes a long way* I personally like the smell* Consistent results over long-term use* Best overall cleanser I’ve personally tried for controlling my oilWhat could be better:* My blackheads have not completely disappeared, even with long-term use* I still have to address some blackheads separately* I’ve noticed some bumpiness/texture in my skin at times* People with less oily or more sensitive skin may have a different experienceOverall, this is still an easy 5 stars for me because I’m judging it based on what it has consistently done for my skin over more than a year. It hasn’t magically fixed every blackhead or every skin-texture issue, but nothing else I’ve personally used has controlled my oil this well for this long.After more than a year of using it morning and night, I think that’s a much better test than judging a skincare product after only a few uses. For someone with very oily skin like mine, this is absolutely a product I would recommend trying.For oil control specifically, this is the best face cleanser I’ve used in my life so far.Ver másVer menos
