FAQs

Is 10% Benzoyl Peroxide too strong for daily use?

While 10% Benzoyl Peroxide is a high concentration, CeraVe's formula is buffered with ceramides and niacinamide to help mitigate irritation. We recommend starting with once daily application and gradually increasing to twice daily as tolerated. Always listen to your skin and reduce frequency if excessive dryness or peeling occurs.

Can I use this product if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, the formula is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for many with sensitive skin. However, Benzoyl Peroxide can be potent. We advise performing a patch test on a small area of skin before full facial application. If irritation occurs, consult your dermatologist.

How long does it take to see results?

Results can vary, but typically, you may begin to see improvements in your acne within 2-4 weeks of consistent use. For optimal results, it's crucial to use the product regularly as directed.

Will this product dry out my skin?

While Benzoyl Peroxide can be drying, CeraVe's unique formula includes 3 essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to help restore and maintain the skin's natural barrier and retain moisture. Following up with a CeraVe moisturizer, especially a non-comedogenic one, is highly recommended to combat any potential dryness.

Can I use this with other CeraVe products?

Absolutely! This wash is designed to be part of a comprehensive skincare routine. We recommend pairing it with a non-comedogenic moisturizer like CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion or CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion, and always using a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.

Is this product safe during pregnancy?

If you are pregnant or nursing, it is always best to consult with your doctor or a healthcare professional before introducing any new skincare products, especially those containing active medications like Benzoyl Peroxide.
