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.

Good Results, But a Bit Harsh
I’ve been using the CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser, and I have mixed feelings about it. On the good side, it really does help smooth the skin and keep pores clearer. After a few uses, my face felt softer and looked more even, so the salicylic acid and ceramides definitely do their job. But even though it’s marketed as gentle, it was a bit harsh for me. My skin sometimes felt dry or tight after washing, especially if I used it every day. I had to follow up with a good moisturizer to balance it out. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to use it only a few times a week instead of daily. Overall, it works, but it’s not as gentle as I expected. Still a decent cleanser.

Gentle Yet Effective for Acne-Prone Skin
I’ve been using the CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser for a week now and I’m really impressed. My skin tends to be acne-prone, and this cleanser has helped keep it clear without causing irritation or dryness. It feels gentle but effective, leaving my face smooth and refreshed after each use. I also love that it’s fragrance-free and includes hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, which make my skin feel hydrated and balanced. Overall, it’s a great product that works well for daily use, and I’m happy with the results so far.

Simple, works nice.
This is a quality product, don't waste money on cheap alternatives. Pros: Dense. It lasts a while, is very thick. A little goes a long way. It also doesn't have useless marketing ingredients. It is backed by science. It works for me, clears skin, no fragarence. Lathers nicely. Cons: Figure out skin type first. If this is appropriate, it works great. If not, it will make you have dry skin. don't use too much.

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!

I use it daily for my oil T-zone. When done, I have squeaky clean skin and a soft sheen! Highly recommended.

J’ai 24 and et j’ai une peau a tendance acneique pas tres grave (pas du genre qui laisse des marques)En juin: Je l’utilisais comme gel lavant le soir et j’utilisais un autre gel lavant normal le matin. Car on m’a prévenu qu’Il asséchait légèrement la peau. Du coup, apres ce lavage, j’utilisais en parallèle un gel creme hydratant fortifiant de clinique. Ca a pris un mois pour que ça s’arrête de s’assecher. Au final, il nettoie bien sans irriter la peau. Comme c’est un gel lavant, je l’ai utilisé avec une creme ducray qui favorise l’elimination des boutons enflammés matin et soir. Ma mère qui ne m’avait pas vue pendant un mois d’août à septembre a constaté que mon visage réagissait mieux , ceci au bout de 3 mois d’utilisation ( et j’en suis toujours au même flacon). En effet, mes boutons avant poussaient de partout; maintenant, ils sont principalement localisés au niveau du menton. Je suis satisfaite du produit ( il est pas collant) il assèche toujours un peu mais pas comme avant. Il n’est pas collant comme d’autres gel.
