Review: Effective acne medicine for sensitive skin - I do not have a terrible all over acne but get the occasional pimple and sometimes those deep ones that live under the skin for a long time and hurt but never comes to a head. I have been using this daily for 2 years now. I still get the occasional mild pimple which I can use a patch on but my cluster of pimples and the deep ones only happen 1-2 times a year instead of monthly as they used to. A combination of using this plus washing my face one time per a day with soap and one time with just water has really changed my complexion. I also have very sensitive skin and tough acne creams cause my skin to get red and flakey. This is gentle enough since it does not have alcohol in it.
Review: Strong acne fighter - I have nothing but positive things to say about every CeraVe product I’ve ever used. This stuff works super well when you have a few pimples or a full blown breakout. Dried pimples up in a day or two without over drying your skin, but do be cautious. Only use when you need it and only until the breakout is gone. This is not an every day use product. It doesn’t hurt, despite being alcohol based on a sensitive area of the face. It’s got all the good stuff in it to fight the breakout while still working to restore your skins barrier and prevent future breakouts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally! Face doesn’t dry out
*by D***O on January 7, 2026*

Quick acting product that doesn’t dry me out even using twice daily. No burning, no bad smell. Wish I tried soon. Note: only used on small spots here and there. Can’t vouch for cystic acne.
