CeraVe Blemish Control Face Cleanser - 236ml
What is CeraVe Blemish Control Face Cleanser?
CeraVe Blemish Control Face Cleanser is the ideal cleanser for acne-prone, oily or combination skin. This gentle yet highly effective cleanser exfoliates the skin to unclog pores and is infused with salicylic acid to eliminate blemishes, reduce blackheads and improve the appearance of pores, while the purifying clay helps to absorb excess oil.
CeraVe Blemish Control Face Cleanser features Oil-Absorbing Technology to help minimise shine and remove excess dirt and oil to prevent the formation of new blemishes. This cleanser maintains the skin’s protective barrier with 3 essential ceramides, in addition to niacinamide to calm the skin and reduce blemishes while leaving the skin clear, smooth and hydrated.
How to use this product
Pump a coin-sized amount of cleanser into your hands and massage onto wet skin, ensuring that you emulsify the cleanser to achieve a foamy consistency. Rinse thoroughly, avoiding contact with your eyes. If you accidentally get this product into your eyes, rinse them immediately with clean water. CeraVe Blemish Control Face Cleanser is suitable for morning and evening use. For best results, follow with a CeraVe moisturiser.
What are the benefits of salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid is mainly used to treat and prevent acne, so it’s perfect for oily, combination and acne-prone skin. It penetrates deep underneath the skin to rid the pores of excess oils and impurities, in addition to its exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties.
What are the benefits of niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B-3 and it’s a great solution if you’re dealing with rosacea or acne as it can reduce inflammation, minimise the appearance of pores and regulate oil production. It helps to build proteins in the skin and lock in moisture, in addition to aiding the prevention of sun damage and environmental pollutants.
Why is removing makeup so important?
If you wear makeup, removing it at the end of the day should be the most important part of your skincare routine. That’s because the skin renews overnight while you’re asleep, and by leaving your makeup on, you can end up preventing this essential process. When dirt and dead skin cells are not removed from your skin, they can end up clogging your pores and causing breakouts.
Does facial cleanser remove makeup?
A good facial cleanser will usually be enough to remove your makeup, as long as you’re massaging it into your skin properly and rinsing thoroughly. To remove your eye makeup, however, you should use an eye makeup remover or micellar water that is safe for use around your eyes.
What skin type do I have?
Determining your skin type is the first step in finding the skincare routine that’s right for you. If your skin produces too much sebum, it may become oily and you’ll probably find that your skin feels overly greasy and shiny. If you have dry skin, you could be suffering from skin that is rough, scaly or flaky. If you’ve got a combination skin type, you’ll probably find that the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) will generally be oily and prone to blemishes.
When should this product not be used?
Do not use CeraVe Blemish Control Face Cleanser if you are allergic to salicylic acid, niacinamide or any of the other listed ingredients. For use on the skin only, avoid contact with eyes and do not swallow. Do not use on broken, bleeding, infected or otherwise damaged skin. If you experience any irritation while using this product, stop using it right away. If irritation persists, speak to your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible. If irritation is severe (for example, symptoms of a severe allergic reaction), seek immediate medical assistance.
