CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Wash 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 148 ml — foaming, hydrating acne cleanser with ceramides

CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Wash is a dermatologist-developed facial and body cleanser with maximum OTC 10% benzoyl peroxide to help clear and prevent acne while supporting the skin barrier.

This lightweight creamy wash transforms into a soft foam to cleanse acne-prone skin without stripping moisture. Formulated with three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, it aims to reduce blemishes and soothe skin as it cleans. The product is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for face and body areas affected by breakouts.

How does this cleanser tackle stubborn acne on face and body?

The active 10% benzoyl peroxide works to clear existing pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads and helps reduce bacteria associated with acne. Its creamy-to-foam texture lets it reach skin pores and affected areas without overly drying when used as directed.

• Contains maximum OTC 10% benzoyl peroxide for effective acne control.
• Designed for both facial and body acne, including chest and back breakouts.
• Rinse-off formula that removes dirt, oil, and dead skin cells.

Will this wash dry out or irritate sensitive skin?

The formula includes ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to help maintain hydration and calm the skin while treating blemishes. Still, benzoyl peroxide can be drying for some users, so the label advises starting with once-daily use and increasing gradually if tolerated.

• Ceramides support the skin’s natural barrier to reduce moisture loss.
• Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains surface hydration for comfort.
• Niacinamide helps soothe irritation and promote an even-looking skin tone.

How should I use it in my daily skincare routine?

Apply a dime-size amount to damp skin, gently massage over the affected areas avoiding the eyes, then rinse thoroughly. Begin with one application daily, moving to twice a day if needed, and always follow with sunscreen during daytime use to protect treated skin.

• Use on damp skin; rinse well after massaging in.
• Adjust frequency if dryness or peeling occurs; consult a doctor if irritation persists.
• Pair daytime use with a broad-spectrum SPF to prevent sun sensitivity.

What skin types and concerns is this product best for?
