3:31 here the video starts
I was do happy to find this in stores and scooped it up because love Cerave products and use them daily but this didn't work great for me or I'll have to use it when I think i need it only, Inkey list felt a little better to me...TY 🙏🏽
Hey, what was the issue? 🤔
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Because I use the foaming daily, I thought the acne would be the same but I do not have super oily skin..it made my skin irritated and I saw more breakouts..purging maybe? The inkey list was a little milder but again, I would use the inkey list when I felt my skin needed it. For some reason with the Cerave acne I was trying to use it every night and didn't need to. It was my fault...TY 😁
Sorry for the late reply, but I did not see your answer. It could be purging, yes, since the skin always needs to adjust to the product, which can take a while, so it can happen if the formulation is different. I often have it because I try so many products.
I have combo acne prone skin , I used cerave renewing and i really loved it
Now i'm using cerave blemish control cleanser once a day But my skin has become insanely oily.😢
" I use Simple Light Moisturizer, Differin, and The Ordinary Niacinamide "
(Sorry if my English is bad🥲)
Did you also use Simple Light Moisturizer, Differin, and The Ordinary Niacinamide before, or did you add them when you changed the cleanser? Otherwise, the combination might be too drying, causing your skin to become dehydrated and consequently produce more oil.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Yes I added them when i changed the cleanser except Simple light moisturizer I have been using it for a long time
@@miriamashour7243 Okay, so it might be a combination of all of them.
Here's what I would recommend:
Morning:
Clean face with CeraVe foaming cleanser (you'll need to purchase this).
Alternate mornings using the SA cleanser.
Pat dry.
If you're going to be exposed to the sun, apply SPF. If not, leave your skin as is.
Evening 1:
Clean face with CeraVe foaming cleanser.
Pat dry.
Apply Differin gel and, on alternate nights, use The Ordinary niacinamide.
That's the routine!
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
thank you for this advice
God bless you 🤍🤍
I don't understand why they don't sell this in the UK. I would love to try it out
Maybe it's because of regulation. I ordered them from the US. But I had to pay 22 Dollars for taxes 😞 Probably they will have another "European Version" soon.
They are selling it in Boots now!!!!!!!

You can use a non-acne treatment moisturizer afterward if needed, that's fine! :)
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank youuu
Best cleanser ever
Did it work for you
Hey melissa, im using this and how long does it take for me to see the effects happen?
Since when have you been using it? How often do you use it, and what skin concerns are you addressing?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I have been using it during the middle of the day and I use it once every day
@@minebloxgaming1 Okay, but what are your skin concerns?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial my skin concerns are how long does it take for the acne to go away
@@minebloxgaming1 This depends on how your skin responds to Salicylic Acid, the overall formulation, and the severity of your acne. If your skin responds well to it, you should see a reduction in inflammation within a few weeks. However, I also recommend investigating the root causes of your acne, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, milk, bread (gluten), eggs, chicken, etc) - otherwise, they will likely come back - even if it may not be that much.

What cleanser do you use help with blackheads and won’t dry out your skin and oil free sensitive skin.won’t clog your pores
please take a look at my other reply.
I have acne and have been using this and it’s still not clearing just made bumps smaller
Yes, because you are not getting to the root cause of your acne; such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, milk, bread (gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).
Hey Melissa, im helping my boyfriend find good Products for his Skin and i wanted to ask you, after using the cerave acne control cleanser is it okay to use the control gel right after? When should he use his Niacinamide Serum?
Thank you for the Videos, you’re great!! 😊
I wouldn't use them in the same routine as it can become too potent and may lead to sensitivities/irritations. Instead, use a non-SA cleanser when using the gel (or just use either one of them). You can use the Niacinamide serum after the cleanser, but before the gel.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you!!
I just bought it and i started using it yesterday therefore next week ill let you know if there is any change
Any change yet?
I started using this yesterday night after switching from another brand that I really liked but wasn’t quite doing the job. So far it’s made my acne dramatically worse and caused massive bumps on the side of my face. It has also caused my skin to be much duller and more textured. I don’t know if I should risk it and keep using it or switch back and settle for what I used to have.
Hey. I just tried it too since last two days and my skin has become red and dull too. But that’s a good thing cause salicylic acid increases our skincell turn over. Our skin will go to worse for 2 weeks and it’ll get better
not necessarily; it could also be the opposite. And most often, Salicylic Acid is the issue. But CeraVe SA cleansers are also particularly drying compared to other brands such as The Inkey List or La Roche Posay. So I wonder which one have you used before? And have you used any other SA products before that? 🤔
@@feofabelieber mines started to get better but I still have some scaring
Dark spots or physical acne scars?
@@tatetips4387 What is your condition now do you advise me to use it?
Hi, can we use cerave's sunscreen as well after the cerave's AM moisturizer that contains spf30? or Only moiturizer is enough? I have sensitive acne prone skin
CeraVe's AM moisturizer is a 2-in-1 product with SPF, so you don't need to use anything else.
Hello :)
I have the cerave hydrating facial cleanser and the cerave acne control cleanser, is there a particular order I should use them in or maybe use one more than the other? Thank you!
You can use one in the AM and the other one in the PM or use the Acne Control Cleanser AM and PM and whenever you want to give your skin a break, use the hydrating one instead :)
Thank you for the vid wanted to know how to use this
Hey i have a question. i bought the cleanser but not the gel is it ok if i only use the cleanser? I couldn’t afford getting both products. Good video🥰
Hey! :)
Yes, that's fine!😊
Hi, I want to know which cleanser is better for acne skin: among Cerave Acne Control Cleanser or Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser. I have tried Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, and I found the Daily Facial Cleanser better for me. I also tried Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, but it wasn’t good. I just want to know if Cerave Acne Control Cleanser would be better than Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for acne and scars.
Also, I need to know if Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser is the same as Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser.
I also use ordinary nicenamide 10%+zinc 1% serum and it’s the best.
Also is it okay to use Kiehl’s ultra facial cream and Garnier 50+ sunscreen with my cleanser and serum.
Sorry for my long text
Thank you !
Yes, Cetaphil's Daily Facial cleanser is great! Yes, you can use all these products in combination.
However, I also recommend investigating the root causes of your acne, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors, or your diet (such as consuming too much sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance).

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you !
Hey Melissa, I have a question, If I would like to use this product (CeraVE Acne Control Cleanser) twice a day to wash my face can I also use Paulas Choice 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant? Or will that be to much salicylic acid. or is it ok if I only use the cleanser once a day? Basically I want to use both products but I don't know if it will be bad for me and how much of each etc etc
Hello Ezzy,
Technically you can. Practically, it can become very dry over time and then you may need to adjust the routine. My advice is to alternate in the beginning and try to use them together after a while. (that worked well for me) But as a general guide, you can say the more drying products you use in the routine, the more likely it is that you will experience irritation at some point. So you need to rebalance it with another moisturizer. But I think that is not the point 🤪
Hi Melissa, is it proper to use Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion TO after this cleanser in same routine? Thank you 😊
Hmm, you could do that, but if you choose to, I would suggest also using a moisturizer, something like CeraVe's Ultra Light Moisturizing Gel: czcams.com/video/kMCE4OXLI_I/video.html
Without it, your skin may become a bit dry, which could lead to irritation!
Thanks, You are pretty ✨
Thank you :)
Can I use products that aren’t necessarily good to use with a salicylic acid leave-on product later on? Like, can i use this to wash my face in the morning and then an hour to two later use my resveratrol acid with azalaic acid? Or my vitamin c and retinol routine? Or does the salicylic acid in the wash stay too long and i shouldnt use those later on?
No, the pH here is not an issue. However, the cleanser can dry the skin, and therefore, when certain ingredients like Azelaic Acid or Retinol are used, it can make the skin even drier. As a result, using them together is not a good idea. Instead, you can use one in the morning and the other in the evening.
Is this cleanser more hydrating than the SA cerave cleanser?? And also what cleanser do you lean towards to with regards to the two
The SA Renewing cleanser works well for me, but the Smoothing Cleanser is drying, or it may be just a feeling not sure. However, this one works better for me; it's actually my favourite CeraVe cleanser now. But again, the frequency plays an essential role; if I use it morning and evening, it still drys out the skin, but that also comes down to other products you may use in your skincare routine, if they are hydrating it shouldn't be an issue. So it's hard to tell. 😉
Is this cleanser good for very sensitive skin and is it oil free and won’t clog your pores
Well, it depends on how sensitive your skin is since it is an exfoliating acid cleanser. Overall, it depends on how well you respond to Salicylic Acid, so there is no way around testing it. Also, it will not clog pores, but always make sure to properly rinse it off from the skin!
Hi! Is it okay to use niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serum after the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (with 3 essential ceramides, amino acids and hyaluronic acid), because the CeraVe cleanser already has those 2 serums I mentioned? Thank you in return!
Yes, that's fine! :)
Thanks you. is it good if i put cerave on my face before go to bed, without washing it?
Hmm, which product do you have? If it's the cleanser I showed in the video, then no, you need to rinse it off. It's designed to thoroughly wash the face, removing excess oil, dirt, and sweat, as demonstrated in the video :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yeah it's the one showed in the the vidéo. Alright thanks you 👍👍
@@lawrenzo_12 Yes, so rinse it off immediately after massaging it into the skin for 15-30 seconds.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Alright 👍
Does it help with blackheads and is it oil free and good for sensitive skin
Yes. And for blackheads it is best to use an extracting tool or visit an esthetician who can do it for you. Using such a cleanser may help extend the period of the blackheads returning, but you may need to use it frequently to maintain the effect. It also depends on your personal skin sensitivity, so testing it is necessary.
Hello, if I have comedones on my forehead and whiteheads on my chin, would you recommend me to use this soap? I also use the effaclar serum from la roche posay and the moisturizer from neutrogena
Hey! :)
Either choose a Salicylic Acid Cleanser (like CeraVe or The Inkey List) or a Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser (like Panoxyl or Differin) :)
I have tried a few Salicylic Acid Cleansers and I prefer The Inkey List or La Roche Posay, not so much CeraVe.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thanks for answering, I have been using the cerave renewing SA but I am not satisfied, it cleanses my face but I still have texture and comedones so I will try the panoxyl, but it scares me a bit since I use the effaclar serum from la roche posay Do you think the combination will be strong for my skin? My skin is mixed, it's only oily in the T zone
@Frida Cordova If you choose a Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser, use a 4-5% one. A 10% BP cleanser is way too strong.
You wouldn't use the BP cleanser and Effaclar serum in the same routine. Use the BP cleanser in the AM and Regular Cleanser + Effaclar Serum in the PM.
How bad is your textured skin?
hi melisa ive been using cerave acne cleanser for a while and i dont see it work much, how long shall i keep it on my face before washing it off?
Hey! 😊 What are you trying to target with that cleanser? Oily skin, acne, or blackheads? Also, what else do you use? How long have you been using that cleanser?
P.S. Sorry if you have already mentioned this in a previous comment, but I'm not able to see past conversations (if we had them) because CZcams has removed the tool that allowed me to do so.
Good evening I've a combine skin and I'm also an acne prone.i started using acne control cleancer a week ago and noticed i have more Whiteheads than usual and rough texture. Also my cleancer doesn't foam
Hey! :) Is this the first time you are using a Salicylic Acid-based cleanser? If yes, this can be an initial reaction and should calm down over time - like in a month. However, if it doesn't get any better after that, it's best to stop using it. Also, do you use it in the morning and evening, daily? If yes, I recommend using it only once per day, or once every other day. Do you use any other skincare products? If so, what do you use? Are you using enough water with this cleanser?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial this is my first time using salicylic acid cleanser also I'm not using a moisturizer because I don't know which one will work for me. I'm using beauty of jesoen spf 50
@@horlahb6861 Ok, in that case, you may want to use the SA cleanser less often, like once per day or every other day. When not using the cleanser, you can wash your face with water only or use a non-SA hydrating foaming cleanser instead. Since when have you been using the sunscreen, and do you have a lot of sun exposure?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I'm not always exposed to the sun
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I'm been using the sun screen for four weeks
Hi I have a combination skin with acne. I want to change my cleaner. so is it okay to use the ordinary niacinamide 10% serum after this cleanser?
Yes! :)
However, I also recommend investigating the root causes of your acne, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, milk, bread (gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you !!
Can I apply the Cerave Moisturizing Cream for normal to dry skin instead of the Cerave moisturizing PM Cream at night?
Hey! :)
What's your skin type?
What are your skin concerns?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I have Combination acne skin
Would the Cerave Acne Control Cleanser work on my Combination skin type?
So no, that is too heavy and will likely cause more acne. So my suggestion is to use the PM moisturiser or just a Hyaluronic Acid serum. And yes, you can use that cleanser.
Hi Melissa do I always have wet my face with lukewarm water?
What if I use it with normal water is it okay to do that also?
Yes, that's fine. Lukewarm water usually feels a bit more comfortable on the skin :)
Hey ive been just using the cleanser for about 3 days now but the bottle says for daily use but ive seen on the internet to use it only 3-4 times, how many times should i use it??
Hey! :)
This depends on your skin tolerance, concerns, and preferences. You can use it daily as long as it doesn't cause any issues for you.
Hii Melissa, I want to start using the acne control cleanser because suddenly breaks outs appear very often in my face and I cannot keep it without acne for a long time, but my question is, it has to be a for-life daily cleanser or when i see that my acne is disappearing i stop using it or can i alternate it with another cleanser for example the foaming cleanse that is the one that i use, and use the control cleanser some days a week?? I would really like to know 😊
Hey! :)
You can use this cleanser daily if that's fine for your skin or alternate between that one and a non-exfoliating acid cleanser. Either use them on different days or use one in the morning and the other one in the evening. Test it to see what works best for you! :)
Hey Melisa is it supposed to itchy if you don’t wash your neck but it only itch on my face
Hm... no. I mean, it could mean that your skin may react to something in the formulation, or if this is the first time you are using a Salicylic Acid product, that your skin needs a bit of time to get used to it, or that it is a bit too potent for your skin. For how long have you been using that cleanser? How often do you use it during the day and week, and what else do you use?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I started yesterday
@@user-jm1hf6zq7n How long does the itching last? Do you experience any redness or swelling? If not, you can continue using it. However, if the itching doesn't calm down within a few weeks or months, then I recommend stopping use. Alternatively, if you can still return it, try a different Salicylic Acid cleanser to see if it's the SA or another ingredient causing the issue.
Thank u soo much ❤️🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Hey, I’m 15 years old and have a oily skin type with acne and acne scars. If I apply this acne control cleanser then apply the Cera Ve resurfacing retinol serum with a PM facial moisturizing lotion at the end is that fine?
Technically, yes. How is it going so far?
hello can i use this cleanser everyday? i’ve been using this cleanser for about 2 months now and i still have some bumps and textured skin i’ve also been double cleansing with the cerave oil cleanser
Well, if it works for you, you can continue using it; I only reduce frequency when the skin becomes too irritated. Or generally speaking, having some breaks from time to time is also something I highly recommend.
I've been looking for this so much finally found it. I wanna start using these products but I wasn't sure if I shoudl add some. Water to the product and then apply it or just apply it directly to face. Can this be used as night routine? Like before bed, cleanser and then hydrating night creams?
Yes, of course. But do you want to use it for acne? If so what "creams" do you currently use? 🤔
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial it's some pimples for my sister is the one with it, is not like big case of acne, she only. Takes from my hydrating cream, olay one she only uses sunscreen not really any other product
@@EriPineda Yes, that's fine.
If she has oily skin, she does not really need to use a cream like a heavy moisturizer. She could also just use a hydrating toner, serum, or light moisturizer like a gel.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you!
Hey, i've started using this cleanser since yesterday and left my face a little red but only in the zones where i have acne and i used it again this morning and it left my face red and the red area kind of got bigger, is that normal?, i haven't used a skincare product before so idk i'm scared of using it again 😢
Hmm, it could be an initial reaction, but if you experience a lot of redness or even burning and stinging, then I would suggest not using it anymore. Alternatively, consider asking a local pharmacist or doctor for advice, especially if the reaction is severe!
I mean, it's likely a reaction to an ingredient in the formulation, potentially even salicylic acid, but it's impossible to tell for sure.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I don't experience burning or stinging it just leaves my face red, my sister also uses the same one and for her seems to be doing well, i think i'll just go to a my doctor to know why, thanks for the answer!
Hello i have been using that acne control cleanser for one week. I admit that the skin gets glow and smooth however some small pimples come out on my forehead but its not itchy ,redness also occur on my t zone
Should i carry on using it or not 🥺🥺
To early to tell, but it is nothing unusual, primarily if you have not used any salicylic acid product before. So I would give it another 2-3 weeks and discontinue use if it is still that way.
Thank u so much 😇❤
@@blairwillow9177Has your skin improved? Are you still using this product?
I just got into washing my face and have no clue what I’m doing I have the same wash as you do. Do I just put it on my face and wipe it off with a lukewarm wet rag?
Well, the video is in real-time I just speeded it up while removing it so you can follow the guide. But yes, you put it on wet skin, massage it over your face for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Depends on your personal skin tolerance. If you are new to it, it's probably best to start with using it every other day to see how well your skin tolerates it, especially because you are using the one with benzoyl peroxide.

How long should it needs to stay on the face??
Rinse it off immediately once you have massaged it all over your face.

Yes, this shouldn't be an issue. However, if sensitivity should occur, keep them separate and/or you may want to use one of them or both less often. So, adjust the frequency.

What do you think about this face cleanser’s formulation for acne prone skin as the second step in double cleansing?
“Aqua, Niacinamide, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Glycerin, Salicylic Acid, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hydroxide, Jojoba Esters, Pafrum, CI 77007”

Hi! I have 2% bha paula’s choice. Can i combine them together?
This really depends on your skin tolerance. You may be able to use them together; however, I generally recommend using a non-exfoliating acid cleanser when using PC BHA to avoid or reduce sensitivities. For example, you could use CeraVe's Acne Control Cleanser in the AM and a different cleanser in the PM when using PC BHA.

Yes, however, you probably want to use it at a time when not using Differin Gel. Like; use a Gentle Cleanser + Differin Gel in the PM and your Salicylic Acid Cleanser and Sunscreen in the AM.
after acne control cleanser can i use acne control gel?(with Aha and Bha
It really depends on your skin tolerance and how often you want to do that combination. My advice would be to use them in separate routines and to use a non-exfoliating acid cleanser when using the gel in the PM.

Can I use cerave acne cleanser for acne scar ?
well technically it should help
Hello mam how many times a week can I use it?
watch at around: 00:46
I have a zipper in my skin and traces why when I use the same product, my face will dry up and around my lips will turn red when I first used it?
have you ever used a Salicylic Acid product before? 🤔
No
@@niyannbs2911 So it may be the salicylic acid doing this. Have you tried to use it again? 🤔
Yes i did it again and the same thing happend but i still wait till tomorrow to know what else happen on my face 😁
@@niyannbs2911 Otherwise take a break and try it again in a few days to see if it still happens.
Can i use it with la roche posay DUO+ ??
You have to test it as it's individual. If your skin tolerates that combination, yes.
Hi melissa i am planning to change my cleanser and i want this cerave acne control cleanser can this remove my pimples?
It does help for sure, but entirely remove them likely not, because if you do not find the cause of it, they may come back over and over.
Hi Melissa. New to your channel. I just want to hear your recommendation. What would you suggest using, the CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser or CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser? I have combination skin btw. Thank you!
Hello :) if I had to choose between these two then I would go with CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser :)
I have blackheads on my chin and want them gone but I have dry skin could I use this? I have a oily t-zone aswell
Yes, you can.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Hello this cleanser didn’t work as well for my blackheads but I usually use the cerave renewing cleanser but it doesn’t help much with stubborn black heads do you have any tips on how to reduce them or eliminate them?😭
@@ohno0212 You need to get them extracted by a beautician or carefully extract them yourself and then maintain it with the cleanser.
I currently have a decent amount of acne, should I use this to remove it? Or is this just more of a preventative thing? What are your thoughts?
I started using it yesterday, and have used it twice so far, and I am pretty sure"purging" has occurred, as a few pimples have popped up. However, my skin usually flares up all the time so I'm not necessarily blaming the product, but I figured I would note it.
I am not sure the cause of my acne, whether it be hormonal or because I struggle with touching my face a lot, but I don't feel I have particularly oily skin.
Hey! :)
I have tried a few Salicylic Acid Cleansers. I'm not the 'biggest' fan of CeraVe's Salicylic Acid cleanser. I prefer the one from The Inkey List, Minimalist or La Roche Posay.
Have a look at the video below:

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much for your input!
Hello I have a question I have some acne on my skin so I’ve been using this product and it’s helping but I noticed that I have somewhat of a oily skin not crazy oily but you can notice it what products should I use with this acne wash (also how often should I use the wash/product for oily skin)
Hey! :)
Do you use anything else other than the face wash?
You can use this face wash in the AM and/or PM once or twice daily, as mentioned in the video.
Salicylic Acid should help to balance oiliness. However, Niacinamide and/or Retinol could help as well like CeraVe's Resurfacing Retinol serum.
Should I use cold or hot water to this cleanser? (im sorry my english is not good)
Use lukewarm water (so not too cold, not too hot ;) )
Can you also use this for pimples?
To wash your face while having pimples? Yes.
Can purging happen with this product , my skin seems to get more pimples and it’s been a week
Yes, any new product that 'influences the skin' can cause purging in the beginning.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks
Hi, can u please tell me if it's okay if i used this cleanser in morning nd went out without a sunscreen or anything?
Well, it depends on where you live, your day-to-day activities, how much time you spend outdoors, how high the UV index is, and if the sun is out and how strong it is, because this CeraVe Cleanser is an Exfoliating Acid Cleanser, which can make the skin more sensitive.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial well i just don't like to use sunscreen, cz i don't spend much time in the sun, just about an hour everyday, nd my skin is a bit sensitive, so now I'm only using it at night, nd I'm happy wity the results, so is it okay if i kept using this cleanser only at night, nd never in mornings?
Yes, that's fine. It's also fine to not use sunscreen if you do not spend a lot of time outdoors. However, if you have a lot of sun exposure for several hours a day, I recommend using sunscreen, as the exfoliating acid cleanser may make the skin more sensitive to the sun. This sensitivity can persist even if you use it only in the evening because it helps shed dead skin cells, which can reduce the skin's natural protection. If you have sensitive skin, consider a mineral sunscreen like the one from Good Molecules.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much for this advice, i really appreciate, I'll look for some good sunscreens to buy next time I'll go out 💗
Do I have to moisturizer at night after ?
No, unless you have dry skin.
What happens if some accidentally stays on your skin?
Well, it is not good and may cause irritation, so therefore I always like to work with a washcloth while doing it over the sink. If you can use it in the shower, that is even better to remove it properly (no washcloth needed just your hands)
Hi Melissa.. take love from Bangladesh ❤️
I just want to know, can I use cerave acne control with ordinary niacinamaid 10%-zinc 1%???btw I have combination acne prone skin and also sensitive 🙁
Please have a look at my other reply. But yes, you can.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial bt can I use cerave acne control with peeling??
And no, Peeling Solution contains 2% BHA and BHA = Salicylic Acid which the acne control gel also includes.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I’m so confused 😕 what should be best for my skincare routine 😔
Have you watched my beginners guide already? 🤔
How to Build a Skincare Routine and What Products Do I Need?:
czcams.com/video/8gLrr2wbi_8/video.html
Can i use this as double cleanser ?
Like use it twice or use it after your oil or balm cleanser?
Do you prefer Inkey list salicylic cleanser or Cerave acne control cleanser? Note that I'm using The ordinary niacinamide 10% + zinc 1%
The Inkey List works much better; the CeraVe SA cleansers are very drying 😕. Another one I like is La Roche Posay Micropeeling (but it contains fragrance, and some people don't like that). I primarily use La Roche Posay cleansers, Cetaphil and The Inkey list. CeraVe I often include them because it is broadly available, and overall their cleansers are "okay" and affordable.
I’ve used this cleanser for the night and the acne foaming cream cleanser for the AM,from Cerave for 2 months now and it’s still purging quite a bit and I get some cystic acne what should I do? I have oily acne prone skin I need Helpp
Are you doing that daily? If so, reduce the frequency because it may be too much for your skin; therefore, it does that. Ideally, use only 1 of the cleansers you have once per day (the one you like most) and then use a gentle foaming cleanser to alternate. Also, a suitable moisturizer or serum would be ideal. For example, a light Hyaluronic Acid serum (Vichy mineral 89) or G&G Hydration station to follow after may help.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yeah daily, my doctor said so, so you think it’s okay if I use the Cerave foaming face cleanser after showering for the PM and the Cerave acne foaming in AM daily? So I would remove the acne control cleanser but I’ll use the gel one 3x week
@@RealMadrid_BarcaFan Hmm okay, are there any other products do you currently use? 🤔
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial no bc I’m new to the skincare I just listened to what my doctor said but I don’t think I should’ve
And what about asking him for more advice or telling him about the situation? It would be really interesting to know what he/she thinks! 🙂
AM:
Cleanse face with foaming cleanser (Example CeraVe, La Roche Posay, or Cetaphil)
Use a hydrating toner, serum or moisturizer (Isntree Hyaluronic Acid toner or Vichy Mineral 89 or G&G Hydration Station but could be any other you like, just some examples that worked well for me)
Apply a mineral Sunscreen (if you have sun-exposure)
PM:
Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser or Salicylic Acid Cleanser (you could also alternate, or just use your favourite)
Your favourite Hydrating product
Upgrade would be like this:

Still, I am not a doctor, but I can tell you what is working well for me since I suffer from similar concerns.
Can i use it with CeraVe retinol?
I think the formulation is too drying, so better to use their foaming cleanser.
How many days it will take to show results?
Generally, for Salicylic Acid, it is said to take around 8-12weeks
What if u don’t have the gel
What do you mean by that? What if you do not have the cleanser or their Acne Control Gel?
Should they be used daily?
If that's fine for your skin, yes. Otherwise, use it less often.
When I finish using the product I dry my face with a towel then I feel my face burning and is a little red is it normal?
Now, that is not normal, but have you ever used a salicylic acid product before? And are there any other skincare products that you are using? 🤔
dies this clear ance ?
It may help to reduce your acne; however, if you do not address the root cause of your acne, it will likely return. I've been conducting an experiment for about six months where I don't use any skincare products at all-not even a cleanser-and instead focus mainly on my diet.
See here: www.youtube.com/@MelissaVanDijkOfficial/community
Potential triggers could be: lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, milk, vegetable oils, bread (gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).
Gracias!

Good Morning José 🤗
can i use this cleanser with skinoren routine ( 20% azeliac acid ) ?
No, opt for a gentler version. For instance, consider using one of these:

The Beauty of Joseon cleanser is the most hydrating among these foaming cleansers!
Hold on… I didn’t catch how long am I supposed to keep it on my face
just like a normal "regular" cleanser 30-60seconds.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hi should i start using twice a day everyday once i start using it, or introducing the product slowly, like 3 times a week at first?
@@LilyAllison233 It depends on your skin tolerance, what else you may be using, and your skin's needs. You can start with once per day, every other day, and over time adjust the frequency if needed :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial okay thank you so much, I'm using it every night now, I'll be doing that for a week, then I'll start using it twice a day
Hello I have a question! I’ve been using the face wash for about a month and I have a very simple routine I use it twice per day followed by a moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning, however I’m still facing white heads around my forehead not a lot as before but I’m still breaking out with white heads , do you recommend any other products or maybe a change of a face wash ?
Or simply incorporating different products , or maybe a gentle cleanser in the morning and acne cleanser at night?
Hmm, I also struggle with these issues. What has worked best for me or let's say reduced it (not entirely) was adding Adapalene to the routine. So that is something you could add in the evening, but yes use a gentle cleanser (suitable for your skin type!) before and use the SA cleanser in the morning.
How to use Differin Gel:
czcams.com/video/rvdtBmdXFMc/video.html
Adding that you could also just use Adapalene/Differin Gel on the forehead which I also like to do, even though they say using it all over ;)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so so much , I’ll definitely try it out and keep you updated on results are a month or more !!! Thank you so much 🥹🥹🤍
This cleanser make my face more whiteheads no idea why?
Is this the first time that you are using a Salicylic Acid Cleanser?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes
Stop using it for a week and then start again. You may need to start with once per day every other day instead of using it twice per day, daily. If, after that, you are still getting a lot of whiteheads - stop using it.
What were your initial skin concerns?
So you just use this cleanser or anything else along with it?
Hi Melissa. I have a question. Can I use both cerave ance control cleanser and cerave acne control gel at the same time without a moisturizer?
Technically yes, practically, it depends on the frequency. So if you do that daily, it may become too drying. So, therefore, you may need to reduce the frequency or add something hydrating in between. But for that, you need to test it! I suggest using just one of them per day.
Is it oil free
yes
