Clogging AND irritating

Ppl seem to love this. Not sure if it’s the coconut derivative cleaner or the glycerin, but this clogs my pores horribly. I can’t use any similar cleansers. 

This also left my skin itchy. I tried so hard to make it work. Second step after oil cleanse. Second step after my usual cleanser. I never get clogged pores bc I have such dry skin. Only hormonal cysts during certain times of the month. But this def clogged pores. 

 

Ive read others have similar experiences, so the list of comedogenic ingredients needs to be updated. I know when i use glycerin & water I get bumps. So my skin can’t breathe or something with glycerin cleansers. 

If you want a great cleanser, try the cetaphil gentle foaming cleanser. That has helped my teenage daughter w oily skin & horrible blackheads. She uses that & persa gel & her skin is soooo much better. 

If like me, you can’t stand the film these leave, try the cetaphil gentle cleansing bar. I can’t usually tolerate fragrance & it doesn’t bother me. Still on the hunt for a fragrance free version tho. But my skin stays clear with this & cerave lotion.

What happened?
I used to kinda like this cleanser, I first used it last year so I could clear my acne but it never really did, it never broke me out though. I stopped using it and I've been using the dr.bronners soap and now I came back to this to see if it'll clear my skin up. But for some reason I broke out with Whitehead's all over my forehead and my face was itchy and it broke out in hives. My nose was swollen and I've used this for two extra days and my Whitehead's came to the point that it hurt to even wash my face. Now I have more Whitehead's, shiny face, and itchy red bumps on my face. What's happening?

AVOID - immediate cystic acne/skin rash that was red and irritated beyond belief
CeraVe foaming facial cleanser contains Sodium laureth sulfate which is a documented toxin. It has also been shown that SLES causes eye or skin irritation. it is a cheap foaming agent that will irritate your skin beyond belief. I gave this the benefit of the doubt so that I could save money and tried it for one week with the CeraVe lotion. By the 7th day I woke up with cystic acne 2cm wide and skin rashes so bad I couldn't cover them with makeup. I will return to using my HG Kheil's products even though I am a student and can barely afford them! :( if anyone has cheap alternatives let me know but this product ruined my face for the year.

nope
I did not care for this cleanser. I've heard how cerave is like fancified cetaphil since they have some pretty nice ingredients in their products. I used this cleanser and liked it but had skin color bumps show up around my jaw the next day. I didn't continue to use it.

Never again.
I'd like to say, prior to using this my skin wasn't even bad. I'd get one or two pimples here and there but it was never bad.. until I ran into this. This product has messed up my skin so bad and I had no clue where it was coming from. It gave me god awful painful cystic acne and I was really embarrassed to walk outside because it was THAT bad. I will admit it worked for the first couple of months but was it worth all the damage it caused? Hell no. I can't even begin to explain how depressed this crap made me but I'm actually making a recovery from the breakout with Dove. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, not even my worse enemy.

Can't get over the smell.
I didn't smell this in the store before I bought it as I didn't think a gentle cleanser like this would have any fragrance. However, once I got home and tried to use this, I could not get over the smell! It smells so strongly of the bubbles you play with when you're a little kid in a bad chemical kind of way. Not sure if this was just me, but I couldn't even use this product and I'm not typically so sensitive to smell.

worst product ever
I had oily skin and 1 pimple now and then, but i wanted completely clear skin. I heard so many good reviews about this product so i gave it a try. I broke out so badly all around my cheeks right away, i still continued to use it for a couple of days and my acne started getting worse, used it for 5 days and now i will have to deal with that acne for months.

Clogs pores
I decided to try this out just to try something new because I'd been using neutrogena ultra gentle face face wash for a couple years. I used Cerave for a few days but it gave me lots of small pimples speckled all over my entire face. I looked into the ingredients and found "sodium chloride" which is really pore clogging. That was a waste of my $10 and I will never use it again.
