Product Details

Acne is a common skin concern at any age, spanning from the teen years to adulthood. An effective acne cleanser is the first step in your anti-acne regimen, and it sets the stage for other products that follow, including over-the-counter and prescription-based treatments. 

CeraVe is the #1 dermatologist-recommended cleanser brand for acne*, and our first acne-treatment product with 4% benzoyl peroxide is backed by well-established skincare knowledge and expertise. The new CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser is formulated to thoroughly dissolve dirt and excess oil, while clearing acne with 4% benzoyl peroxide. Our formula also features hyaluronic acid to help retain your skin’s natural moisture and niacinamide to provide you with soothing benefits, while allowing your skin to heal.

Developed with dermatologists, our cleanser clears your acne breakouts and helps prevent new blemishes from forming. Gentle on your skin, CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser helps maintain the skin’s barrier with three essential ceramides, leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable, while reducing acne without dryness or flaking.
