Feels amazing, smells amazing
Have primaly been using this prior to sleeping as my main go-to cleanser for the last week or so. I am crazy about the mild coconutty scent, it’s so lightweight yet addictive. It seems like the cleaner can also act as a mask if left on the face for a longer duration, havent felt the need to try this yet. For lightweight cleansing, this is probably one of the better options I’ve tried. CeraVe always deliver, there’s no doubting it’s ability to get the job done ! Highly recommend, a little goes a long way. Price value is great, considering how efficient a small amount can be. Highly recommended, very much a fan!

CeraVe Clay To Foam Acne Face Wash
CeraVe Clay To Foam Acne Face Wash is a versatile 3-in-1 cleanser that transforms from clay to foam, helping to purify pores, control oil, and maintain the skin barrier. It contains 2% salicylic acid, kaolin clay, and ceramides, making it effective for acne-prone skin while keeping it hydrated for up to 24 hours (data from the website). As someone with sensitive skin, I appreciate the addition of ceramides and hyaluronic acid – two things that support the skin barrier and keeps my face feeling fresh without drying. The foamy cleanser is a plus. The CeraVe product a solid choice for those looking for a multi-use acne treatment that cleanses without stripping the skin

Deep cleansing face wash that doubles up as a mask
Iâve been using this face wash and it works great. It starts off as a clay but foams up nicely when you add water, giving your skin a fresh, clean feel. It does have a slight clay smell, but nothing too strong or unpleasant. I also like using it as a quick mask by leaving it on for about a minute before rinsing. It can feel a little drying afterward, so I think itâs best for normal to oily skin types. Just be sure to follow up with a good moisturizer if you have dry skin. I like that this seems to clean pores really well without being harsh.

Love this as an overnight spot treatment!
Iâve never been let down by CeraVe so was excited to try out this CeraVe Clay To Foam Ac.ne Face Wash.I have fairly sensitive skin and have had no adverse reactions.I love that it can be used either as a daily cleanser, a weekly mask OR an overnight spot treatment.Iâve truthfully only used it so far as an overnight spot treatment and itâs been doing WONDERS! Iâve tried so many spot treatments and this one is IT!I donât think I will use it as a cleanser – just a personal preference. And Iâm not a huge fan of masks haha so the overnight spot treatment is my choice for this and again, itâs giving amazing results to my bumps!!Iâm a huge fan so far and will continue using!

multi-purpose
This product does it all – cleanser, mask, and spot treatment. I love a space saving, multipurpose product and this one works well and feels nice without harsh fragrances.I absolutely love the clay in this and I use it as sort of a cross between a cleanser and a mask. I don’t work it into a lather, but I do apply it with my fingertips to my wet face in the shower and sort of just gently massage it around for a couple minutes, being careful to keep it as a silky, smooth clay texture. My face feels a little tight, super clean, and smooth afterwards. When used as a spot treatment, I can see a difference in the targeted area.I will say that I had some significant rebound oiliness a couple hours after using this. I don’t typically have oily skin, but my face kicked in to overdrive and gave me a shiny situation that I was not expecting. I will continue to use this, but I’ll use it at night so that any oiliness can subside/even out before morning.

CeraVe Clay To Foam Acne Face Wash
This is an interesting product. I have a teen who has some mild acne here and there, so I picked it up for them to use. Being able to use it as an all over wash or as a spot treatment makes it more likely to get him to use it. So far, so good.

Good deep cleaning soap, best for oily or acne prone skin
As someone who doesnât have acne, I tried this more as a clay mask than a daily cleanser. I applied it to dry skin, left it on for 10 minutes, and then rinsed it off. The texture spreads easily, and it has no noticeable scent, which I appreciate.After rinsing, my skin felt extremely cleanâbut also quite dry. It stripped away all the oil, so I definitely needed to apply serum and moisturizer afterward to rebalance my skin. I think this would be better suited for oily or acne-prone skin types. Used occasionally, it feels like a good deep-clean option, but probably not something Iâd use daily with normal or dry skin.

Nice face wash
This face wash is really nice. It helps me manage my blackheads and the occasional pimple. I like that it can be either a wash or a mask, depending on how you apply it. Highly recommended.
