CeraVe Acne Control Routine

The CeraVe Acne Control Routine is a simple three-step set for acne-prone, oily skin: a 2% salicylic acid cleanser, a 2% salicylic acid gel with AHA and BHA, and an oil-free night moisturizer. Every step is non-comedogenic and fragrance-free, with ceramides and niacinamide to keep the skin barrier calm while you treat breakouts.
