Acne is a common concern that can affect both teenagers and adults, making an effective acne cleanser a vital part of any skincare routine. A good acne cleanser not only removes dirt and impurities but also gently exfoliates dead skin cells that can clog pores and trigger breakouts. Cleansers with salicylic acid are especially beneficial for acne-prone skin, as they help control acne while complementing other treatments, whether over-the-counter or prescription-based. For best results, it’s always wise to consult with a dermatologist.

CeraVe, the #1 dermatologist-recommended brand for acne cleansers*, has developed the Acne Control Cleanser with 2% salicylic acid to target breakouts at their source. This formula helps clear existing acne, reduce blackheads, and improve the overall appearance of pores. To further support oily and acne-prone skin, purifying clay is included to absorb excess oil, leaving skin looking fresh and balanced.

With its refreshing gel-to-foam texture, the Acne Control Cleanser works effectively to remove dirt, oil, and impurities while gently exfoliating the skin. Its Oil-Absorbing Technology also minimizes visible shine, helping to keep skin looking clean and matte throughout the day. By penetrating deep into clogged pores, it helps prevent the formation of new breakouts for clearer, healthier-looking skin.

In addition to its acne-fighting benefits, this cleanser supports skin health with three essential ceramides that maintain the skin’s natural barrier. Niacinamide provides a calming effect, reducing irritation and redness often associated with acne. The result is a cleanser that not only fights acne but also leaves skin soft, smooth, and hydrated—an effective yet gentle solution for everyday use
