This is honestly so true when I started I had no clue what to do leave it on my face wash it off put moisturizer on or anything this video was so helpful especially because I’m more of a visual learner
Wow! This is a very good video, thank you so much! I'm new with Cerave's products (just bought them yesterday lol) and watching videos like this really help me
You can actually leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes. I’ve personally been leaving it on for 10 minutes since the benzoyl peroxide doesn’t give my skin a bad reaction. This stuff works great. Be patient though if it doesn’t seem like it’s working at first. It takes about 8 weeks to get FULL results and for your acne to be completely gone. The first couple weeks might seem like your acne’s actually getting worse, but it’s not. You may experience white heads, but this is because your skin is purging out all the bacteria from your pores, which again.. will “look” like it’s getting worse at first, but that’s just cause the bacteria has risen to the surface before it’s ready to come out. 10 out of 10. Just be consistent with it and try not to miss any days of using this product.
Yeah, but I wouldn't use a benzoyl peroxide cleanser on the skin for that long. In that case, a benzoyl peroxide cream or gel may be more helpful. Still, getting to the root cause of your acne is important so that it doesn't return after you stop using the treatment. I've been experimenting with this approach, and so far, I can tell you that it's very likely diet-related because I don't use any skincare products on my face whatsoever. I just changed my diet, and my skin has never looked this good! :) See here: www.youtube.com/@MelissaVanDijkOfficial/community

Hi, I have 2 questions: 1. In the ingredients list, there is a glycolic acid. I think it is not safe to mix benzoyl peroxide together with glycolic acid and use it at the same time. What do you think? 2. Based on your experience, between panoxyl benzoyl 4% and cerave benzoyl 4%, which one work the best for you? Thx...
If a Benzoyl Peroxide product contains an acid like Glycolic Acid, it's usually well-balanced to offer mild exfoliation, hydration, or to balance the pH of the formulation. So, in that case, it's not a concern. I prefer PanOxyl's Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser or Differin's Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser.
I have the 10% Acne Foaming Cream Wash. I started today June 13th, and left it on my chest for 7 minutes before washing it off on the shiwer. I didn’t have any negative sensitivity effects. But is this recommended? Or should i only leave it on for 3 minutes, is that enough for it to work ? 🤔
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Imagine being in the shower for 15 minutes 😅 I appreciate your confirmation that 3 minutes is good. I thought it should be enough to penetrate the skin. Plus like you said everyone should be on lookout for sensitivity effects and act accordingly. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you.
Hello, i was wondering if it can cause breakout cause i had been using acne control cleanser from cerave and it was good ... then i tried this one and it made my face worst and i dont know if it tries to bring all the crap from under the skin or what..... no irritation no redness nothing just the acne getting worst.. I use it morning and at nights mornings with : Acne Control Gel: Targeted Treatment. and spf moisturizer nights with : Resurfacing Retinol Serum - Skincare - CeraVe and moisturizer
It could be that your skin responds better to Salicylic Acid than Benzoyl Peroxide, yes. However, it could also mean that you're overusing these treatments, as you are using a Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid-based Cleanser along with a Retinol Serum. So, you could either completely stop using the Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser, or just use that one and stop using the Salicylic Acid cleanser to see what works best for you :)
Thank you for your very detailed videos. I'm in my 50s and have acne prone oily skin with very large pores and hyperpigmentation mainly around my cheeks. I just started using this cleanser. After washing, I use a toner with hyaluronic acid before applying niacinamide and then my moisturiser. Is this routine okay??
Thanks for your reply. I use the cerave ultra light moisturising lotion because of the sunscreen. As a Nigerian sunscreen has never been my "thing" but reading up and listening to so many people talk about the benefit of sunscreen, that's why I decided to give it a try. But I found out that I react to the ones I've bought and more importantly, they leave an unsightly white film on my face! Any recommendations on sunscreen for a girl of colour so I can ditch the moisturiser??

Hi, I have white heads, black heads & pores.. which of the cerave cleanser should i use? The Acne control cleanser or Acne foaming cream cleanser? Whichever you recommend how often should i use it ? …I have combination skin
You may have success with the Acne Control Cleanser since it contains 2% Salicylic Acid. However, depending on the depth of your blackheads, it's advisable to have them extracted professionally. I also recommend investigating the root cause of your whiteheads and blackheads. Regarding your pores, it's normal to have them. Check this: ruclips.net/user/postUgkx4j-bcEAC5JU9n0zB0zLi_la8jkx_ZKzl ruclips.net/user/postUgkxDpfFN90vkWK8knvwDlkqRSoDDZZzX3vG
I can just use this in my routine? 1.acne foaming cream cleanser 2. HA 3. Niacinamide 4. Salicylic 5. Moisturizer Or isn't it necessary? Also is it better to also use foaming facial cleanser or acne control cleanser before the acne cream cleanser? Or rather just use them at separate(am/pm) routines?
That sounds like a very irritating routine. I suggest keeping benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid separate, especially if you are planning on using them more often. Here is a better routine: Acne foaming cream cleanser or control cleanser HA Niacinamide Moisturizer (only if it is a gel and non-comedogenic, avoid creams or heavy lotions!) It may also be good to have a gentle foaming cleanser to use when not using the acne control cleanser or foaming cream cleanser to balance it, such as CeraVe Foaming Cleanser or Cream-to-Foam Cleanser.
Today I used it for the first time and it went into my eyes. The only thing that I can say is NEVER TAKE IT NEAR YOUR EYES. It hurts sooo bad. update: it's been 12 hours since it went into my eyes. i rinsed it a lot and it still stings a little bit.
Hi I wanna tell you Jesus Loves You So Much He Gave His Life for our sins so we can be forgiven from sin and Go To Heaven! Gods Love For Us Is Unconditonal
The best I have tried are from Paula's Choice. Paula’s Choice Skin Restoring Moisturizer with SPF 50 (Normal to Dry Skin) or Paula’s Choice Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid with SPF 50 (Normal to Combination/Oily Skin) But you can also try CeraVe Sunscreens. CeraVe AM Ultra Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 (Normal to Oily Skin) or CeraVeAM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with Sunscreen
No, only use one of them. You can use this cleanser in the morning and Oriflame Pure Skin Salicylic Acid in the evening, or vice versa. However, do not use both at the same time, as that can lead to dryness and irritation over time.
I have been using Benzoyl Peroxide cleansers for some time, and it has never bleached my hair or so. However, it can easily bleach towels and fabric, so make sure to either use white towels or old, clean towels that you don't mind getting bleached. :)
Hi melissa thanks for the video, one question, since BP is known to bleach, has this every bleached ur eyebrows by accident? Its only 4% so i dont think its strong enough but has it happend?
No, but I have a lot of towels with dots. I think it needs more time, so if you let it sit on your brows for 10-20 minutes, it may do this. But of course, you should not do that! 🤣 So the answer is no.
@@bryanlopez1266 Hmm... it may cause excessive dryness and/or sensitivities. This mainly depends on the formulation of the cream, your skin tolerance, and how often you're doing this combination.
My acne is clear now i have just acne scars . Is acne foaming cleaner is good for inactive acne which cerave cleaner is best for in active acne or acne scars
Hey, how are you managing your acne? For me personally, benzoyl peroxide has been the only treatment that has shown a reduction in my type of acne. All the other treatments were somewhat ineffective, but it might depend on how well your skin reacts to the different ingredients. So, the other cleanser is salicylic acid!
@@Dominic7449 Well, it's not a bad thing. I mean, if you can target the acne and temporary dryness when treating it, that's not an issue for me. I'd rather have that than use hydrating products that constantly give me new acne. Although, I think it's more about the other ingredients in these formulations causing it. But, as I already told you, if it's not severe and your skin is not on fire, it's not an issue, at least not from my experience, and only for the time you are using the product.
Melissa, can I use this and the Effaclar Duo Plus on my face? For starters, I'm thinking once a day. But a bit concerned about using both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide at the same time. I have closed comedones on my forehead and occasional whiteheads on my chin and cheeks.
Essentially, you've already pointed out the potential issues. I also believe it might be too much for the skin to tolerate. Therefore, you need to adjust this to your needs. Start slowly and alternate use!
It may work for some time, but generally, I think it will become irritating after a while. So it is not a good idea. Better to just add hydrating toners.
I started using the acne foaming cleanser for the first time today. I avoided my eye area but used it all over my face. After washing, my acnes on my cheeks feel a bit warm and itchy. Is this normal cause my forehead doesn’t feel anything. Is this how this works or is it an allergic reaction?
Is it just a little and then it goes away? If so, then I assume this is because it's dry. So, in this case, if the problem persists, a moisturizer would be ideal, ideally a gel type. Something like CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion, pure aloe vera gel, or The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. Here’s what to do: Clean your face with the benzoyl peroxide cleanser. Pat your face dry. Apply a bean-sized amount of the gel all over your face.
@@HashiniNavodhaPerera So, it shouldn't be an issue. However, the more you use it, the drier your skin may become, so the gel might still be necessary. But wait and see how things go over the next few days before deciding to purchase it.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you for the reply! I always do my routine in the shower. Do you think if I use the acne foaming cleanser first the wash it off with the foaming facial cleanser second it will be as effective and then use a moisturizer last
its been almost 3weeks that im using this product at night time. Initially, it cleared out the acne growths but with continuous use, i observed new growth daily. i usually experiance acne around the chin but it has now spreaded to the cheek area. The product does not irritate my skin, i feel just a mild tingling sensation which resolves in 2-3mins. Kindly advise me.
Hey! 😊 Do you use this cleanser daily in the AM and PM? Also, do you apply it to your entire face? If so, you may want to consider using it less frequently and/or only on the affected area. What other products do you use? While a BP cleanser can help reduce acne, it's important to determine the underlying cause of your acne for a lasting cure.
i used it at night time. when the acne started spreading i limited it to the affected areas only. Yes, i think it would be better to use it off and on. kindly suggest some good sunscreen for acne prone skin. Thanks alot Melissa❤
@@noorulainarshia7476 Okay, good! I also recommend looking deeper into your acne concerns, such as identifying potential triggers like hormones, stress, genetics, your diet (including food intolerances), or the presence of preservatives, antibiotics, and other toxins in your food. As for a sunscreen, have a look at Good Molecules Sheer Mineral SPF.
I personally wouldn't, because Benzoyl Peroxide can also cause some 'damage.' That's why I only recommend using it when you're experiencing acne. I would switch to a regular cleanser now. Still, I also recommend looking into the root causes of your acne, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), and especially your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, spices, milk, bread (wheat/gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet i’m using now the la roche posay toleriane foaming cleanser but its difficult to find here in UAE can i switch to cerave foaming cleanser?
Here's what I'm thinking , but idk if it's the right way. I'm thinking of using Vichy salicylic acid acne treatment daily deep cleansing gel in the shower. Then using CeraVe acne foaming cream cleanser in shower as well. Then finishing it off with CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum in shower as well. Thoughts on improvements or is that how you use it?
Hey! :) I recommend using either CeraVe's Acne cleanser or Vichy's Salicylic Acid Cleanser. You can use one of them in the shower or above the skin. However, do not use CeraVe Retinol serum in the shower; use that one after the shower (after washing your face) and leave it on. See here: How to use Panoxyl Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser and Differin Gel for Acne-Prone Skin: ruclips.net/video/nu1Wo9O_6e0/видео.html How to use CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum: ruclips.net/video/t3oen72zdZw/видео.html Check out the example routines in those videos to understand the set up.
hi i found this video super helpful! i just have one concern. i have the cerave acne control cleanser (salicylic acid) that i normally used but i was recommended to start using the cerave foamimg cleanser (benzoyl peroxide). however, i was wondering if i can i use the acne control cleanser for my entire face and then the foaming cleanser for the affected areas as i am unable to afford another cleanser? or can i use one in the day and the other at night?
The CeraVe acne control cleanser is very drying, not because of Salicylic Acid but because of the overall formulation; now, when using the Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser the same day, it really can accelerate the already dry skin. Therefore I suggest not using them on the same day. Instead, you can use them in different areas and try to see if it works. The best solution would be getting your hands on the CeraVe foaming cleanser, Cetaphil Daily Facial cleanser, or another foaming cleanser that you could use when it gets too irritated. You need to try the different methods; just don't overdo it, and if you experience too much irritation and dryness, you can skip them for 1-2 days and rest your skin.
@@vaneshajagroo It may, however, it hasn't happened to me as I'm not using it through my eyebrows. Make sure to properly wash it off, and it won't be an issue :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ah i see. and im so sorry for all the questions but last one! i have nodulocystic acne but im not sure if i should use the acne control cleanser with salicylic acid or the foaming cream cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. which cleanser do you think will seem more effective? i don’t think that salicylic acid will treat the type of acne that i have as it’s more mild?
Hi Melissa! I've been using cerave acne foaming cleanser in a week now together with retinoic acid (brand my derma gave). But I am experiencing super dryness and flaky skin. Is this normal? How long will this take?
Hello :) are you using them in the same routine? Because that is usually not how it is done, but instead, using them at alternate times. But also, from my experience, that can cause severe redness or dryness, which will not go away. I solved that issue by only using one treatment at a time and adjusting to that before introducing the other. But if your dermatologist told you to do so, I recommend getting in touch with him to check what you can change :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet i thought its normal peeling stage of the product. 😭 Should I stop now? I just tried to use it on the same time but every other day.
@@ynnahgstd For me, it works best when using one in the morning and the other in the evening, and when it becomes too much, I usually skip it for 1-2 days and start again. But since you got it from your doctor, just give him a call :)
Hello Melissa, I've been using this foam for months already and it works best for me. However, with my last tube of it, I've started to feel irritated on my skin and itchy, it's also super dry. So, should I continue using it or should I stop ?

Question: I first wash my face, then I dry my face and then I apply the cream and wait 5 minutes and then I wash my face again, is that okay or am I doing it wrong?
Are you using a cream or a cleanser? Moreover, do you wear any makeup or sunscreen that would require removal initially? If not, you can simply follow the steps demonstrated in this video.
Hello. I'm currently using only this for my face. I usually have oily skin but I wanted to know if it would be ok if i continued to use this without a moisturizer or did I need one aswell?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I also recently just started using this, normally I have oily skin but while using it I have dry skin, should I get a non-comedogenic dry skin or oily skin moisturizer?
@@I_Like_2_Laugh You can look into a hydrating toner or essence at first before thinking about a moisturizer, as those add hydration to the skin without feeling too heavy.
It depends. If you want to leave it on the skin for a moment (like a minute or so), you can start with the cleanser and then move on to your shampoo and body wash. Once you're done with it, you can rinse everything off in one go. You have to test it. It primarily depends on your shower routine..like do you only use shampoo, maybe conditioner too?... :)
I have simple refreshing face wash and i also have the cerave acne foaming cream cleanser can i use the simple refreshing face wash in the morning then cerave acne foaming cream cleanser at night?? Because i dont want to be using it the cerave acne foaming cream cleanser two times a day
Hi. You ask me try benzoyl peroxide. Can i use this wash and follow with my normal routine of the ordinary? No conflict with these products? Niacinamide, Alpha arbutin, retinol 0.5, peeling solution, caffeine solution, lactic acid. Can i do all my am and pm routine the ordinary after i use this eash? Cuz i have active acne. Also can i incorporate pauls choice salicylic acid? I have some active acne and so much dark spot. Thanks
If you tolerate Lactic Acid well you can use CeraVe's BP cleanser in the AM and PM! Otherwise I just recommend using it when not using Lactic Acid. So, if you use Lactic Acid in the PM, just use CeraVe's BP in the AM. No, I wouldn't add PC 2% BHA to your routine since you are already using Lactic Acid.

@@MingchinLu Hm...what has changed during that year? Both should help to reduce acne; however, if the root cause of your acne comes from stress, a wrong diet, etc., it won't cure your problem. It really depends on what your skin responds to best. For example, in my case, Benzoyl Peroxide tends to work better.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Why ? And how bad this cleanser compare to differin cleanser could you explain more specific to me, thank you. (i kinda afraid this cleanser will make my acne worst too because the previous product of this brand does )
@@justin4652 It's not a bad cleanser. However, out of all the BP cleansers that I have tried so far, the one from Differin feels the best on the skin and isn't as aggressive (I mean in terms of how it feels on the skin when having it on the skin) and I don't get a 'weird' feeling when using it. I sometimes get this with certain products, not sure why. Benzoyl Peroxide is always a bit aggressive, but the formulation of a BP product makes a huge difference.
Hi, I struggle with acne/blackheads and i am planning to get the acne foaming cleanser. I also have acne scars (i’m brown skinned and was told i can’t use acid which would cause hyperpigmentation). I actually have The Ordinary- Niacinamide + Zinc (it has caused breakouts - i have been using it for a week/less) and i was also told to use The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin (which i haven’t gotten my hands on them). What would you suggest to use to reduce/clear scars if i am also using acne foaming cleanser? I have also read that dark/brown skinned should use retinoids to help with scars, i don’t know what to use
Hey! :) Do you have physical scars or just red/brown spots? What's your skin type? You can use this cleanser for active acne. As for your dark spots, you may need to get a Niacinamide serum with a lower %. I do not recommend using an exfoliant if you already use a Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser. However, you can use a Retinol or Retinoid (like Differin Gel) in your evening routine. Use a gentle cleanser instead of the BP cleanser when using your Retinol or Retinoid.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Hi! I don’t have redness, it’s more like a dark spot/scar after a pimple subsides/if it’s popped lol. I tend to have oily skin. Do you have a specific brand for Niacinamide? 😅

Hi melissa!, I have a question and I was wondering if using the cerave cream to foam cleanser first and using the acne foam cleanser after on my routine is good to do? And I was wondering is hydrating cleanser is good for combination skin or is it only the cream and foam cleanser ?
No, do not do that. This can really cause irritation. Only use one cleanser or alternate between them. If you have normal to oily skin, you can use a gentle foaming cleanser. If you have normal to dry skin, use a hydrating cleanser. My suggestion would be to follow the benzoyl peroxide cleansing step or salicylic acid cleanser with a lightweight, hydrating hyaluronic acid serum or gel, such as Neutrogena Hydro Boost or G&G Hydration Station. Keep the frequency of the cleansers in mind and alternate with the gentle versions to avoid over-drying your skin.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ooohhh well good think I haven't started to do that thank you melissa. Oh and I was wondering another think even if you suggest not doing it both at the same time because of irritation would it be posible that even if I still continue on using the hydrating or foam cleanser but I want to add the acne cleanser and use it ones a week would it create change or more irritation or do I just stick on using one cleanser ? And if hydrating facial cleanser better that hydrating cream to foam cleanser or both work differently?
@@jen-9444 I think I may have mixed it up a bit. Do you have the Acne Control Cleanser (with Salicylic Acid 2%) or the CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser (with Benzoyl Peroxide 5%) ? Or do you have both? Additionally, do you want to use both the Hydrating Facial Cleanser and the Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser, as well as the Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser once a week?
@@jen-9444 But also if you have dry, sensitive skin, you may prefer the non-foaming texture of the Hydrating Facial Cleanser, as it is less likely to cause irritation or dehydration. If you have combination or oily skin, you may prefer the cream-to-foam texture of the Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser, as it provides a more thorough cleanse and helps to control excess oil.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I have the hydrating facial cleanser but I just barely got the acne foaming cream cleanser. Sorry if I confused you😅 by adding both the hydrating facial and the hydrating cream-to-foam I was suggesting either one if I use it for the routine as an example. Oooh, and I was wondering if continuing to use the hydrating facial cleanser but I want to add the cerave acne foaming cleanser to my routine only using it once a week would make it worse, or just only use the hydrating facial cleanser only is just okay?
Yes, still, it will not work if you use water-resistant sunscreen or heavy mineral sunscreen; for that, you need to use an oil or balm cleanser. But yes, that is how you should do it. Remove the sunscreen properly before using this cleanser.

It depends on how sensitive your skin may be. It can work, as this cleanser is one of the gentlest BP cleansers I have tried so far. Yes, you can use the moisturizer afterwards :)
Do you have a lot of sun exposure? If yes, it's best to use regular sunscreen after your moisturiser in the morning. If not, just go with your moisturiser.
Which CeraVe is best for removing acne, blackheads and oily skin?please answer the question ... Which of these three (CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser or CeraVe Sa Smoothing Cleanser or Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser) will take? Or none of these?Or take another? or Can I use Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser to remove blackheads? Please advice me.....
CeraVe's Acne Foaming Cleanser or SA Renewing Cleanser can help to reduce active acne; it also may help to reduce blackheads. However, if they are too deep into the skin, I suggest getting them extracted by a professional or extracting them yourself with a tool at home. Overall I prefer Differin's 5% BP Cleanser or Panoxyl's 4% BP cleanser over CeraVe's Acne Foaming Cleanser, but it depends on what cleanser you can get in your area or online.

hi, since my face is reddish and it’s breaking out as always a little bit on places and i have hormonal acne on my chest and back - can i use it morning at my face & pm in the shower on my back/chest and face?
Yes, you can use it on your chest and back. However, I wouldn't use it on your face as it can make it redder. Where do you get acne on your face? Do you know what's causing it? Do you have rosacea? I have a video on it: How to use Benzoyl Peroxide for Back Acne: ruclips.net/video/fhNcAkPdC4s/видео.html I really like Differin's Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet i have sensitive skin,it’s not reddish as i said i meant sometimes the pimples.But it’s hormonal acne on the chest&back and my face
If you have oily skin and acne no, that will lead to more breakouts; it is too heavy for the skin. I recommend using a light moisturizer such as Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel or a hydrating toner or essence. That works best for me. But no matter what, you do not use these heavy, greasy moisturizers afterwards.
It also exfoliates the skin, so there is no need for it. Also, I do not recommend following up with an AHA or BHA since it will dramatically increase the risk of irritation. From my experience, it does not work well and often just causes the skin to react with more breakouts. So if you have both and want to use them, I suggest using them on alternate days.

@@muhmmadakbar33 Yes, it is the one that I usually use! The formulation is gentler and works just as good.But if you only have Panoxyl or CeraVe, then I suggest Panoxyl 4%; it is also not bad! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you. Can I use the benzoyl peroxide foaming cleanser and a salicylic acid moisturiser at the same time in the routine?
Is it alright if I use foaming facial cleanser then wash my face then use the acne foaming cleanser? Then the next morning only use the foaming facial cleanser and then use daily moisturizing lotion? Or is that too much?
Yes, that's fine :) Use CeraVe Retinol Serum in the PM. You can use it in the same routine when using this cleanser. Have a look at the video below: How to use CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum: ruclips.net/video/t3oen72zdZw/видео.html
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet but is it alright if u use the foaming cleanser then acne cleanser at night but in the morning use foaming cleanser and only the daily lotion
This one! :) You can also just a normal Cleanser all over your face, then wash it off and use the BP Cleanser around your chin to specifically target your acne on your chin.
It depends on your overall skin tolerance, but I could use it once daily. When I used it more often, I got sensitivity (redness) or experienced dryness which I then tried to balance with a moisturizer, but that led to other issues. Here is a little routine for acne, which helped me to reduce it. You could use CeraVe Cleanser instead of PanOxyl.

Just finished with the toner last night. I just used facial wash only this morning and no kojic acid content found on the ingredients of the set I've used. The peeling was finished i think a week ago and I just bought cerave acne foaming cleaner as my new skincare since I've read good reviews about the product including yours. I have oily skin & no pimples just because of the peeling effect of the rejuv set. There's little bumps on the face and. Just want to prevent acne in the future.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet just finished the set consumable for only 1 month. its a little harsh to the skin if you continuously use it as a skin care in more than a month so just needed to switch to a mild skincare for maintenance. I'm still worried if I can use cerave acne foam cleanser with benzoyl peroxide after peeling. Should I use it or rest my skin first? really appreciate you helping me. Just subscribed to your channel for more videos about skincare 🫶
@@ynnahgstd Since you finished the Peeling a week ago, you should be able to start with CeraVe's BP cleanser. However, do not use it the same day or even the day after you're using the Peeling.
This could work, yes. CeraVe's Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser isn't as intense/irritating as others. However, if dryness or Irritation occurs, keep them separate.
Depending on the amount of oil on your face, it may not foam very well. You can try this alternative method instead: ruclips.net/video/hdZKPkiwx7U/видео.htmlsi=QV66xoRbSbFqPQtN However, I wouldn’t recommend using the Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser twice in a row since it's a treatment cleanser.
@@Dominic7449 If it's due to the oil on your skin, it can act like a protective barrier, which may or may not reduce the effect. I mean, you have to try it! :)
Can you use this acne foam cleanser even if you don’t have acne? Is that okay? My face is pretty much clear and I do believe I have sensitive skin. I used this cleanser twice . If not can you recommended me a daily moisturizer
Hey! :) What are your skin concerns? What's your skin type? If you do not have any acne, there is no need to use it. You can use a regular that's suitable for your skin type :)
Would it be okay to double cleanse with oil and then a hydrating cleanser before going in with the benzoyal peroxide wash? or do you think that coulld still be too much for the skin? im scared to not use a hydrating cleanser bc of how dry my skin is in the winter but i really need to incoorporate something a bit stronger for my acne
Why do you double cleanser? To remove sunscreen and makeup? If so, how stubborn is your sunscreen and makeup? Using '3 cleansers' can be quite a lot for the skin.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet yes! i double cleanse because i use spf! and also a lot of times i wear a lot of moisturizer because in the winter my skin has been super dry! i recieved the cleanser and ive just been doing my normal cleanser and then using the cerave on just specific places. it doesnt seem to be drying me out so far
@@channingr7438 If it works for you, keep on doing it. However, I'm pretty sure that you do not need to wash your face 3 times...just use your oil or balm cleanser or even micellar water to remove your sunscreen and then using Cerave's BP Cleanser :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet okay i will try it both ways and see what works but so far i have been having good results with just using the cerave as a spot treatment wash
Thank you very helpful viedo! would i be able to use my normal night stuff that I use after using this face wash such as paula's choice Discoloration Repair Serum or The INKEY List Beta Hydroxy Acid or even Hyaluronic Acid?
The BHA may cause some irritation when combined. It won't happen right away, but based on my experience, it's best to use only one exfoliating product per routine, especially if you plan on doing it regularly, but if you only use it occasionally, it will likely work yes. Example: PM: CeraVe Foaming Cream Cleanser Hyaluronic Acid Discoloration Repair Serum or Gentle Cleanser BHA Discoloration Repair Serum
Hi! Can I really use Cerave Hydrating cream to foam cleanser before using Acne foaming cream cleanser? Some says that acne foaming cleanser cannot be combine with salicylic acid , however Cerave Hydrating cream to foam cleanser has it. Thank you!
The Salicylic Acid amount in that cleanser is so little that it does not matter. However, I wouldn't use them together since this can be pretty drying.So, you can alternate between those two cleansers :)
Omg I have a very important question can I leave acne foaming cleanser for the whole night cause I have been leaving it for two nights already because my mom told me to leave it so can you please tell me if it okay and I have the two products the acne control cleanser and acne foaming cleanser so witch one I leave for the nigh?hope you respond me 🙂🙂
This is a Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser which is a rinse-off product. So, when using it, wash it off the skin. You can use CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser in the morning and Acne Foaming Cleanser in the evening (or vice versa). This way you can use both cleansers but at different times.
@@nisaelochoa8276 No. CeraVe Acne Foaming Cleanser and Acne Control Cleanser are your soaps to wash your face but it also contains 4% of Benzoyl Peroxide and the other one contains 2% of Salicylic Acid which helps to reduce acne. You can leave it on the skin for 1-2 minutes and then rinse it off.
Could I use the cerave acne foaming cream cleanser and cerave acne control gel in the same routine? Since the cleanser is benzoyl peroxide and the cream is salycylic acid?
It can work; yes, I do that sometimes, but it drys out my skin if I do it repeatedly. So keep the frequency in mind and adjust it accordingly to your skin response.
I am not sure about that; my tattoos on my back are still there;😉 it did not bleach it, and I used it for several weeks. But I am unsure how it performs on tattooed eyebrows; still, you do not have it on the skin for that long, so it will likely not affect it. Or maybe just leave that area.🤔 Or ask in your local pharmacy or the tattoo studio.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet uhhh...oily skin and I use eucerin pro acne before, and after I using cerave acne foaming cream cleanser, I'll use effaclar duo plus.....is it too bad to use tis both at the same time? Since salicylic acid and benzol peroxide is too strong
@@williamjung6064 Ok. Yes, I think you're overdoing it a bit. Avoid using your Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide products together. Just use one of them, either one in the AM and the other in the PM, and then follow with something hydrating afterwards, like a Hyaluronic Acid serum, instead of the Effaclar DUO+
The bottle didn’t explain how to use it. The directions were just warnings. Thank you so much for such a detailed video! Great information 👌🏻
🥰
This is honestly so true when I started I had no clue what to do leave it on my face wash it off put moisturizer on or anything this video was so helpful especially because I’m more of a visual learner
it’s 2 lines under “children” in bold
It does have directions you are blind
Literally though lol I had to learn from chat gpt. The bottle didn’t even mention leaving it on for 5 to 10 minutes
Thank you so much Melissa! I just bought this and wasn't sure how to use it. You are seriously a life saver! ❤
Wow! This is a very good video, thank you so much! I'm new with Cerave's products (just bought them yesterday lol) and watching videos like this really help me
Hope you enjoy! 🥰 And thank you.
You can actually leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes. I’ve personally been leaving it on for 10 minutes since the benzoyl peroxide doesn’t give my skin a bad reaction. This stuff works great. Be patient though if it doesn’t seem like it’s working at first. It takes about 8 weeks to get FULL results and for your acne to be completely gone. The first couple weeks might seem like your acne’s actually getting worse, but it’s not. You may experience white heads, but this is because your skin is purging out all the bacteria from your pores, which again.. will “look” like it’s getting worse at first, but that’s just cause the bacteria has risen to the surface before it’s ready to come out. 10 out of 10. Just be consistent with it and try not to miss any days of using this product.
Yeah, but I wouldn't use a benzoyl peroxide cleanser on the skin for that long. In that case, a benzoyl peroxide cream or gel may be more helpful. Still, getting to the root cause of your acne is important so that it doesn't return after you stop using the treatment. I've been experimenting with this approach, and so far, I can tell you that it's very likely diet-related because I don't use any skincare products on my face whatsoever. I just changed my diet, and my skin has never looked this good! :) See here: www.youtube.com/@MelissaVanDijkOfficial/community

Hi, I have 2 questions:
1. In the ingredients list, there is a glycolic acid. I think it is not safe to mix benzoyl peroxide together with glycolic acid and use it at the same time. What do you think?
2. Based on your experience, between panoxyl benzoyl 4% and cerave benzoyl 4%, which one work the best for you?
Thx...
If a Benzoyl Peroxide product contains an acid like Glycolic Acid, it's usually well-balanced to offer mild exfoliation, hydration, or to balance the pH of the formulation. So, in that case, it's not a concern. I prefer PanOxyl's Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser or Differin's Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser.
I have the 10% Acne Foaming Cream Wash. I started today June 13th, and left it on my chest for 7 minutes before washing it off on the shiwer. I didn’t have any negative sensitivity effects. But is this recommended? Or should i only leave it on for 3 minutes, is that enough for it to work ? 🤔
Yes, this can work too. Personally, I couldn't stay in the shower that long - to wait, haha, so I just go with about 3 minutes.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Imagine being in the shower for 15 minutes 😅 I appreciate your confirmation that 3 minutes is good. I thought it should be enough to penetrate the skin. Plus like you said everyone should be on lookout for sensitivity effects and act accordingly. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you.

Hello,
i was wondering if it can cause breakout cause i had been using acne control cleanser from cerave and it was good ... then i tried this one and it made my face worst and i dont know if it tries to bring all the crap from under the skin or what.....
no irritation no redness nothing just the acne getting worst..
I use it morning and at nights
mornings with : Acne Control Gel: Targeted Treatment. and spf moisturizer
nights with : Resurfacing Retinol Serum - Skincare - CeraVe and moisturizer
It could be that your skin responds better to Salicylic Acid than Benzoyl Peroxide, yes. However, it could also mean that you're overusing these treatments, as you are using a Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid-based Cleanser along with a Retinol Serum. So, you could either completely stop using the Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser, or just use that one and stop using the Salicylic Acid cleanser to see what works best for you :)
Thank you for your very detailed videos. I'm in my 50s and have acne prone oily skin with very large pores and hyperpigmentation mainly around my cheeks. I just started using this cleanser. After washing, I use a toner with hyaluronic acid before applying niacinamide and then my moisturiser. Is this routine okay??
Hey! :)
This sounds good! You do not necessarily have to use a moisturiser if you have oily skin unless dryness occurs.
Thanks for your reply. I use the cerave ultra light moisturising lotion because of the sunscreen. As a Nigerian sunscreen has never been my "thing" but reading up and listening to so many people talk about the benefit of sunscreen, that's why I decided to give it a try. But I found out that I react to the ones I've bought and more importantly, they leave an unsightly white film on my face! Any recommendations on sunscreen for a girl of colour so I can ditch the moisturiser??

Hi, I have white heads, black heads & pores.. which of the cerave cleanser should i use? The Acne control cleanser or Acne foaming cream cleanser? Whichever you recommend how often should i use it ? …I have combination skin
You may have success with the Acne Control Cleanser since it contains 2% Salicylic Acid. However, depending on the depth of your blackheads, it's advisable to have them extracted professionally. I also recommend investigating the root cause of your whiteheads and blackheads. Regarding your pores, it's normal to have them.

I can just use this in my routine?
1.acne foaming cream cleanser
2. HA
3. Niacinamide
4. Salicylic
5. Moisturizer
Or isn't it necessary?
Also is it better to also use foaming facial cleanser or acne control cleanser before the acne cream cleanser? Or rather just use them at separate(am/pm) routines?
That sounds like a very irritating routine. I suggest keeping benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid separate, especially if you are planning on using them more often. Here is a better routine:
Acne foaming cream cleanser or control cleanser
HA
Niacinamide
Moisturizer (only if it is a gel and non-comedogenic, avoid creams or heavy lotions!)
It may also be good to have a gentle foaming cleanser to use when not using the acne control cleanser or foaming cream cleanser to balance it, such as CeraVe Foaming Cleanser or Cream-to-Foam Cleanser.

Hey please i want to know that can i use salicylic orifalme pure skin facewash after using this cerave acne foaming cleanser?
No, only use one of them. You can use this cleanser in the morning and Oriflame Pure Skin Salicylic Acid in the evening, or vice versa. However, do not use both at the same time, as that can lead to dryness and irritation over time.
After I wash off the cleanser do I have to dry it off with a rag?
Can I just let it air dry?
And you can just let it air-dry if you like; it's a personal preference.
Does this product bleach hair/eyebrows/facial hair? What if i plan to use it in the shower? Will i be at risk?
I have been using Benzoyl Peroxide cleansers for some time, and it has never bleached my hair or so. However, it can easily bleach towels and fabric, so make sure to either use white towels or old, clean towels that you don't mind getting bleached. :)
Hi melissa thanks for the video, one question, since BP is known to bleach, has this every bleached ur eyebrows by accident? Its only 4% so i dont think its strong enough but has it happend?
No, but I have a lot of towels with dots. I think it needs more time, so if you let it sit on your brows for 10-20 minutes, it may do this. But of course, you should not do that! 🤣 So the answer is no.
Hi girl I have question can I use another acne cream after wash my face with cerave cream cleans thanks 🙏
Hey! :)
What other acne cream do you have?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yea I have the keeva tea tree oil acne cream just I want know if can I use
@@bryanlopez1266 Hmm... it may cause excessive dryness and/or sensitivities. This mainly depends on the formulation of the cream, your skin tolerance, and how often you're doing this combination.
Can it also be used for granites?
I don't think it's a good idea to use benzoyl peroxide on granite, as it could potentially discolor or damage the surface. 😉
My acne is clear now i have just acne scars . Is acne foaming cleaner is good for inactive acne which cerave cleaner is best for in active acne or acne scars
Hey! :)
What skincare products do you currently use?
What did you use to reduce your active acne?
Do you have physical scars or only dark spots?
What’s better, this one or the acne control one
Hey, how are you managing your acne? For me personally, benzoyl peroxide has been the only treatment that has shown a reduction in my type of acne. All the other treatments were somewhat ineffective, but it might depend on how well your skin reacts to the different ingredients. So, the other cleanser is salicylic acid!
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet the acne foaming crème cleanser make my skin so dry but I think it’s working
@@Dominic7449 Well, it's not a bad thing. I mean, if you can target the acne and temporary dryness when treating it, that's not an issue for me. I'd rather have that than use hydrating products that constantly give me new acne. Although, I think it's more about the other ingredients in these formulations causing it. But, as I already told you, if it's not severe and your skin is not on fire, it's not an issue, at least not from my experience, and only for the time you are using the product.
Melissa, can I use this and the Effaclar Duo Plus on my face? For starters, I'm thinking once a day. But a bit concerned about using both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide at the same time. I have closed comedones on my forehead and occasional whiteheads on my chin and cheeks.
Essentially, you've already pointed out the potential issues. I also believe it might be too much for the skin to tolerate. Therefore, you need to adjust this to your needs. Start slowly and alternate use!
Thank you for this video❤️🙏
Can one apply a toner after using the acne foaming cleanser🙏?
The toner has zinc and Salycilic acid🙏
It may work for some time, but generally, I think it will become irritating after a while. So it is not a good idea. Better to just add hydrating toners.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Alright🙏👍

I started using the acne foaming cleanser for the first time today. I avoided my eye area but used it all over my face. After washing, my acnes on my cheeks feel a bit warm and itchy. Is this normal cause my forehead doesn’t feel anything. Is this how this works or is it an allergic reaction?
Is it just a little and then it goes away? If so, then I assume this is because it's dry. So, in this case, if the problem persists, a moisturizer would be ideal, ideally a gel type. Something like CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion, pure aloe vera gel, or The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA.
Here’s what to do:
Clean your face with the benzoyl peroxide cleanser.
Pat your face dry.
Apply a bean-sized amount of the gel all over your face.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Yup it went away like in 15 secs. 🙌🏽 Thanks alot!! 💛
@@HashiniNavodhaPerera So, it shouldn't be an issue. However, the more you use it, the drier your skin may become, so the gel might still be necessary. But wait and see how things go over the next few days before deciding to purchase it.

Does this bleaches the eye brows if used for a long period of time?
I haven't had any issues with my eyebrows; however, based on the comments that I get in general on Benzoyl Peroxide, some have experienced it.
its been almost 3weeks that im using this product at night time. Initially, it cleared out the acne growths but with continuous use, i observed new growth daily. i usually experiance acne around the chin but it has now spreaded to the cheek area.
The product does not irritate my skin, i feel just a mild tingling sensation which resolves in 2-3mins. Kindly advise me.
Hey! 😊
Do you use this cleanser daily in the AM and PM? Also, do you apply it to your entire face? If so, you may want to consider using it less frequently and/or only on the affected area. What other products do you use? While a BP cleanser can help reduce acne, it's important to determine the underlying cause of your acne for a lasting cure.
i used it at night time.
when the acne started spreading i limited it to the affected areas only.
Yes, i think it would be better to use it off and on.
kindly suggest some good sunscreen for acne prone skin.
Thanks alot Melissa❤
@@noorulainarshia7476 Okay, good! I also recommend looking deeper into your acne concerns, such as identifying potential triggers like hormones, stress, genetics, your diet (including food intolerances), or the presence of preservatives, antibiotics, and other toxins in your food.
As for a sunscreen, have a look at Good Molecules Sheer Mineral SPF.
as far as i noted, diet and stress are the triggering factors for my acne, anyways, im really grateful for the advice 😊
So, look into these factors to reduce your acne :)
For how many minutes did you say we leave it on the face?
7:30 :)
Can i continue to use the cerave acne foaming cleanser if my skin is clear already ?
I personally wouldn't, because Benzoyl Peroxide can also cause some 'damage.' That's why I only recommend using it when you're experiencing acne. I would switch to a regular cleanser now.
Still, I also recommend looking into the root causes of your acne, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), and especially your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, spices, milk, bread (wheat/gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).

@@kristaninocencio8638 Yes, that's fine.
Here's what I'm thinking , but idk if it's the right way. I'm thinking of using Vichy salicylic acid acne treatment daily deep cleansing gel in the shower. Then using CeraVe acne foaming cream cleanser in shower as well. Then finishing it off with CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum in shower as well. Thoughts on improvements or is that how you use it?
Hey! :)
I recommend using either CeraVe's Acne cleanser or Vichy's Salicylic Acid Cleanser. You can use one of them in the shower or above the skin. However, do not use CeraVe Retinol serum in the shower; use that one after the shower (after washing your face) and leave it on.

hi i found this video super helpful! i just have one concern. i have the cerave acne control cleanser (salicylic acid) that i normally used but i was recommended to start using the cerave foamimg cleanser (benzoyl peroxide). however, i was wondering if i can i use the acne control cleanser for my entire face and then the foaming cleanser for the affected areas as i am unable to afford another cleanser? or can i use one in the day and the other at night?
The CeraVe acne control cleanser is very drying, not because of Salicylic Acid but because of the overall formulation; now, when using the Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser the same day, it really can accelerate the already dry skin. Therefore I suggest not using them on the same day. Instead, you can use them in different areas and try to see if it works.
The best solution would be getting your hands on the CeraVe foaming cleanser, Cetaphil Daily Facial cleanser, or another foaming cleanser that you could use when it gets too irritated.
You need to try the different methods; just don't overdo it, and if you experience too much irritation and dryness, you can skip them for 1-2 days and rest your skin.

Hi Melissa! I've been using cerave acne foaming cleanser in a week now together with retinoic acid (brand my derma gave). But I am experiencing super dryness and flaky skin. Is this normal? How long will this take?
Hello :) are you using them in the same routine? Because that is usually not how it is done, but instead, using them at alternate times. But also, from my experience, that can cause severe redness or dryness, which will not go away. I solved that issue by only using one treatment at a time and adjusting to that before introducing the other. But if your dermatologist told you to do so, I recommend getting in touch with him to check what you can change :)

Do you experience dryness? If so add one. If not, no.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I also recently just started using this, normally I have oily skin but while using it I have dry skin, should I get a non-comedogenic dry skin or oily skin moisturizer?
@@I_Like_2_Laugh You can look into a hydrating toner or essence at first before thinking about a moisturizer, as those add hydration to the skin without feeling too heavy.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thankyou!
if i use this in the shower, is it best to use it before or after i use shampoo and body wash?
It depends. If you want to leave it on the skin for a moment (like a minute or so), you can start with the cleanser and then move on to your shampoo and body wash. Once you're done with it, you can rinse everything off in one go. You have to test it. It primarily depends on your shower routine..like do you only use shampoo, maybe conditioner too?... :)
I have simple refreshing face wash and i also have the cerave acne foaming cream cleanser can i use the simple refreshing face wash in the morning then cerave acne foaming cream cleanser at night?? Because i dont want to be using it the cerave acne foaming cream cleanser two times a day
Yes you can!
Hi. You ask me try benzoyl peroxide. Can i use this wash and follow with my normal routine of the ordinary? No conflict with these products? Niacinamide, Alpha arbutin, retinol 0.5, peeling solution, caffeine solution, lactic acid. Can i do all my am and pm routine the ordinary after i use this eash? Cuz i have active acne. Also can i incorporate pauls choice salicylic acid? I have some active acne and so much dark spot. Thanks
If you tolerate Lactic Acid well you can use CeraVe's BP cleanser in the AM and PM! Otherwise I just recommend using it when not using Lactic Acid. So, if you use Lactic Acid in the PM, just use CeraVe's BP in the AM.
No, I wouldn't add PC 2% BHA to your routine since you are already using Lactic Acid.

@@MingchinLu Hm...what has changed during that year? Both should help to reduce acne; however, if the root cause of your acne comes from stress, a wrong diet, etc., it won't cure your problem. It really depends on what your skin responds to best. For example, in my case, Benzoyl Peroxide tends to work better.

@@Sovortey Yes, it's best to avoid AHA/BHA exfoliating acid, Retinol/Retinoid or Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) products in the same routine as your BP product to avoid/reduce dryness and sensitivity. So, use you BP Cleanser in the AM and one of the other treatments in the PM with a regular cleanser :)

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you
if i don’t have the lotion can i use the moisturising cream?
No, it's too rich for that purpose. I'd recommend opting for their gel formulation. Alternatively, you can try the method I use: ruclips.net/video/ZAqfCERnwkc/видео.html
Can i apply salicylic acid serum after cleansing with this cleanser?
No, use them at different times, or simply choose one of them, as using both could become too much at some point.

Hey :)
Before you use the cleanser, I wonder if you changed anything in your life/diet?! Because sometimes that can already be the cause of it, so that you may not need to use a product :) So that would be the first to look at.
But overall, you could use this cleanser, but the better alternative would be Panoxyl 4% Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser.
And you could follow this guide:

I'm going to try this, i used to use differin daily deep cleanser it's was good not sure this will be the same.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet do you recommed to buy this ?
@@justin4652 no, only if the other one is not available.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Why ? And how bad this cleanser compare to differin cleanser could you explain more specific to me, thank you.
(i kinda afraid this cleanser will make my acne worst too because the previous product of this brand does )
@@justin4652 It's not a bad cleanser. However, out of all the BP cleansers that I have tried so far, the one from Differin feels the best on the skin and isn't as aggressive (I mean in terms of how it feels on the skin when having it on the skin) and I don't get a 'weird' feeling when using it. I sometimes get this with certain products, not sure why. Benzoyl Peroxide is always a bit aggressive, but the formulation of a BP product makes a huge difference.
Hi, I struggle with acne/blackheads and i am planning to get the acne foaming cleanser. I also have acne scars (i’m brown skinned and was told i can’t use acid which would cause hyperpigmentation). I actually have The Ordinary- Niacinamide + Zinc (it has caused breakouts - i have been using it for a week/less) and i was also told to use The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin (which i haven’t gotten my hands on them). What would you suggest to use to reduce/clear scars if i am also using acne foaming cleanser? I have also read that dark/brown skinned should use retinoids to help with scars, i don’t know what to use
Hey! :)
Do you have physical scars or just red/brown spots?
What's your skin type?
You can use this cleanser for active acne. As for your dark spots, you may need to get a Niacinamide serum with a lower %.
I do not recommend using an exfoliant if you already use a Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser. However, you can use a Retinol or Retinoid (like Differin Gel) in your evening routine. Use a gentle cleanser instead of the BP cleanser when using your Retinol or Retinoid.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Hi! I don’t have redness, it’s more like a dark spot/scar after a pimple subsides/if it’s popped lol. I tend to have oily skin. Do you have a specific brand for Niacinamide? 😅
@@yashsl_24 Ok, so you can go with the recommendations above :)
I haven't used a lower % Niacinamide serum. However, some brands offer them like; Good Molecules or Be Minimalist.

@@fjmeghna926 Yes, this can work! :)
Hi melissa!, I have a question and I was wondering if using the cerave cream to foam cleanser first and using the acne foam cleanser after on my routine is good to do? And I was wondering is hydrating cleanser is good for combination skin or is it only the cream and foam cleanser ?
No, do not do that. This can really cause irritation. Only use one cleanser or alternate between them. If you have normal to oily skin, you can use a gentle foaming cleanser. If you have normal to dry skin, use a hydrating cleanser.
My suggestion would be to follow the benzoyl peroxide cleansing step or salicylic acid cleanser with a lightweight, hydrating hyaluronic acid serum or gel, such as Neutrogena Hydro Boost or G&G Hydration Station. Keep the frequency of the cleansers in mind and alternate with the gentle versions to avoid over-drying your skin.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ooohhh well good think I haven't started to do that thank you melissa. Oh and I was wondering another think even if you suggest not doing it both at the same time because of irritation would it be posible that even if I still continue on using the hydrating or foam cleanser but I want to add the acne cleanser and use it ones a week would it create change or more irritation or do I just stick on using one cleanser ? And if hydrating facial cleanser better that hydrating cream to foam cleanser or both work differently?
@@jen-9444 I think I may have mixed it up a bit. Do you have the Acne Control Cleanser (with Salicylic Acid 2%) or the CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser (with Benzoyl Peroxide 5%) ? Or do you have both? Additionally, do you want to use both the Hydrating Facial Cleanser and the Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser, as well as the Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser once a week?
@@jen-9444 But also if you have dry, sensitive skin, you may prefer the non-foaming texture of the Hydrating Facial Cleanser, as it is less likely to cause irritation or dehydration. If you have combination or oily skin, you may prefer the cream-to-foam texture of the Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser, as it provides a more thorough cleanse and helps to control excess oil.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I have the hydrating facial cleanser but I just barely got the acne foaming cream cleanser. Sorry if I confused you😅 by adding both the hydrating facial and the hydrating cream-to-foam I was suggesting either one if I use it for the routine as an example. Oooh, and I was wondering if continuing to use the hydrating facial cleanser but I want to add the cerave acne foaming cleanser to my routine only using it once a week would make it worse, or just only use the hydrating facial cleanser only is just okay?
Does it make hair fall off? For example, my eyebrows because that would be the only area I would apply it since I have fungal acne.
If you have fungal acne, you need to see a doctor and get medicine.
Can i use ordinary niacinamide after cleance my skin cerave acne foaming...?

Hi! Can i use Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser to get rid of Spf before using this Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser? or is it not necessary?
Yes, still, it will not work if you use water-resistant sunscreen or heavy mineral sunscreen; for that, you need to use an oil or balm cleanser. But yes, that is how you should do it. Remove the sunscreen properly before using this cleanser.

Or none of these?Or take another? or Can I use Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser to remove blackheads? Please advice me.....
CeraVe's Acne Foaming Cleanser or SA Renewing Cleanser can help to reduce active acne; it also may help to reduce blackheads. However, if they are too deep into the skin, I suggest getting them extracted by a professional or extracting them yourself with a tool at home.
Overall I prefer Differin's 5% BP Cleanser or Panoxyl's 4% BP cleanser over CeraVe's Acne Foaming Cleanser, but it depends on what cleanser you can get in your area or online.

Also which one would you recommend ? This cleanser by Cera Ve or the one by panoxyl or they are (with) the same (result)?
Yes, you can use it on your chest and back. However, I wouldn't use it on your face as it can make it redder. Where do you get acne on your face? Do you know what's causing it? Do you have rosacea?

@@gv5281 You can try it. However, have you ever tried a Salicylic Acid Cleanser instead?
So can I use the cleanser then the cetaphil moisturizer twice a day and that will work?
If you have oily skin and acne no, that will lead to more breakouts; it is too heavy for the skin. I recommend using a light moisturizer such as Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel or a hydrating toner or essence. That works best for me. But no matter what, you do not use these heavy, greasy moisturizers afterwards.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet so you don’t think the cetaphil moisturizer is good?
Not if you have oily skin. If you should come across dryness, you can always add it but otherwise, no.
hi can i use the cerave acne prone facial wash and glycolic acid toner of the ordinary together with niacinamide serum as a skin care? thankyou
Yes, that's fine! :)
thankyou
Can I exfoliate my skin while using the product?
It also exfoliates the skin, so there is no need for it. Also, I do not recommend following up with an AHA or BHA since it will dramatically increase the risk of irritation. From my experience, it does not work well and often just causes the skin to react with more breakouts. So if you have both and want to use them, I suggest using them on alternate days.
Which one is best cerva benzoyl peroxide or panoxyl 4% benzoyl peroxide??

Discoloration Repair Serum or The INKEY List
Beta Hydroxy Acid or even Hyaluronic Acid?
The BHA may cause some irritation when combined. It won't happen right away, but based on my experience, it's best to use only one exfoliating product per routine, especially if you plan on doing it regularly, but if you only use it occasionally, it will likely work yes.

This is a Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser which is a rinse-off product. So, when using it, wash it off the skin.
You can use CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser in the morning and Acne Foaming Cleanser in the evening (or vice versa). This way you can use both cleansers but at different times.
Yeah but is it ok to leave it in the face for the whole day? And the two of them are soaps right?
@@nisaelochoa8276 No. CeraVe Acne Foaming Cleanser and Acne Control Cleanser are your soaps to wash your face but it also contains 4% of Benzoyl Peroxide and the other one contains 2% of Salicylic Acid which helps to reduce acne. You can leave it on the skin for 1-2 minutes and then rinse it off.
Could I use the cerave acne foaming cream cleanser and cerave acne control gel in the same routine? Since the cleanser is benzoyl peroxide and the cream is salycylic acid?
It can work; yes, I do that sometimes, but it drys out my skin if I do it repeatedly. So keep the frequency in mind and adjust it accordingly to your skin response.

Do you have to put on moisturiser after?
No, but you can if you feel the need.
I just started using this cleanser and my face is breaking out...is tat normal?
What is your skin type, what are your skin concerns before using this cleanser, and what other products do you use?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet uhhh...oily skin and I use eucerin pro acne before, and after I using cerave acne foaming cream cleanser, I'll use effaclar duo plus.....is it too bad to use tis both at the same time? Since salicylic acid and benzol peroxide is too strong
@@williamjung6064 Ok. Yes, I think you're overdoing it a bit. Avoid using your Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide products together. Just use one of them, either one in the AM and the other in the PM, and then follow with something hydrating afterwards, like a Hyaluronic Acid serum, instead of the Effaclar DUO+
Hi, Can i use this The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin after using this cleanser?
Yes you can!
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank youuu :)
