When I ran out of my usual benzoyl peroxide gel, I switched to this and it did nothing for my acne. My issue with CeraVe in general is that their products contain a lot of ceramides, and the humectants and other ingredients they use can make it so the product doesn't give you the results you need.

Only two CeraVe products are actually named in these lawsuits, the Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser with 4% Benzoyl Peroxide and the acne foaming cream wash with 10% benzoyl peroxide.

Where they part company

Dimma Umeh calls CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser with 4% Benzoyl Peroxide skip. 208SkinDoc calls it approved. Two experts, one product, takes 10 days apart, and opposite conclusions. Their own words are above; we are not going to tell you which of them is right.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
