CeraVe Acne Control Gel is a targeted treatment designed to help clear and prevent acne breakouts. Follow these steps for optimal use.
Steps for Optimal Use:
Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin: Start by cleansing your skin with a gentle cleanser like CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser. Pat your skin dry.

Tips for Effective Use:
-
Patch Test: Before applying the gel to your entire face, perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any adverse reactions.
-
Avoid Overuse: Using too much acne treatment can lead to dryness, irritation, and potentially worsen acne. Use only the recommended amount.
-
Moisturize: Follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to help hydrate and soothe the skin.
-
Sun Protection: Acne treatments may increase sensitivity to the sun, so it's essential to apply sunscreen daily, especially when using them during the day.
-
Be Patient: Results may not be immediate. It may take several weeks of consistent use to see improvements in acne.
