With 2% salicylic acid, CeraVe Acne Control Gel is a moisturizing, daily acne treatment that clears outbreaks and aids in avoiding future ones. It also delivers moderate exfoliation with alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids (AHA and BHA) that help enhance the appearance of pores together with relaxing niacinamide and barrier-strengthening ceramides.
The key to preserving a clear, healthy complexion is finding an acne treatment that works. Salicylic acid is helpful for treating acne and preventing new outbreaks, and a product that offers mild exfoliation can help reduce the visibility of pores. Alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids (AHA and BHA) can make the skin look smooth and luminous without harming the skin's natural protective barrier or drying out the skin in an oil-free, non-drying acne gel.
