Acne Control Cleanser.

"I recommend keeping your pores clear with a nice exfoliating cleanser without beads, something with salicylic acid, whether it's Cetaphil's gentle exfoliating SA cleanser or CeraVe's acne control cleanser. And then you can consider benzoyl peroxide, but don't use both ingredients salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide in the same day. Those are great cleansers to alternate by the day to help exfoliate and keep your pores clear without destroying your skin's moisture barrier."

"CeraVe's Acne Control Cleanser, which is two percent salicylic acid, is nice. Beta hydroxy acids are oil soluble, so they go down into the pore and clean out pores very well."

"The newer one that came out for very oily skin is their acne control cleanser with hectorite clay and niacinamide. The hectorite clay will help absorb the excess sebum and oil on your face and wash it all away. This is a two percent salicylic acid cleanser."

"Use an exfoliating cleanser with salicylic acid, say CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser or the Luros Effaclar would be a nice option, and then apply your retinoid whether it's prescription tretinoin, over-the-counter retinol or adapalene, and then apply your moisturizer. Always apply a moisturizer after your retinoid."

"One of my favorites is the CeraVe acne control cleanser. It has two percent salicylic acid and is fragrance free. This also has niacinamide which is helpful for reducing oxidation of sebum and it also has hectorite clay which is going to help absorb some excess sebum from the surface of the skin and from within the pore. You can introduce this into your routine using it one to two times a day as tolerated, morning and or evening depending on how you tolerate it. Many people tolerate using it twice a day just fine whereas for other people that may be too drying, you may want to do it just once a day. Lather it to the entire face sparing around the eyelids because it can be very drying around the eyelids, leave the lather on the skin for a few minutes, let it really soak in and then rinse it off. Through something known as co-conservation the salicylic acid in this can be left behind on the skin surface while the other cleanser ingredients are rinsed off along with the oil on your skin. This is a great option and a great place to start. Some people can clear up and prevent their closed comedones just doing that but that's not going to be the case for everyone."

"The salicylic acid cleanser I have been loving over the past several years and continue to recommend is CeraVe's Acne Control Cleanser. It offers 2% salicylic acid. The advantage of using salicylic acid for acne is it's anti-inflammatory. It helps to exfoliate the pore. Of all the chemical exfoliants, salicylic acid is able to finesse getting down in the pore, plus it has the added benefit of gently exfoliating the skin, helping to clear up and by its anti-inflammatory effects prevent to a certain extent post-acne dark marks. In addition to salicylic acid, this also has niacinamide, which can help with those dark marks and redness. It's a B vitamin and it also has anti-inflammatory properties. And of course it's a CeraVe product, so that means it's got ceramides in there, lipids naturally found in your skin. Applying them exogenously may help combat dryness and irritation by helping your skin make more of its own natural barrier components. It's fragrance-free."

"CeraVe's acne control cleanser is a salicylic acid facial cleanser that's great for those issues."
