A: Hello Petra H! We appreciate you reach out about CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser. Since individual's skin concerns differentiate, we recommend consulting with your medical doctor to see which products are appropriate for your skin concerns and will best benefit you. We hope you find this information helpful.

A: Hello there! While CeraVe Acne Face Cleanser with 2% Salicylic Acid and Purifying Clay is formulated for oily, acne-prone skin, its suitability for your specific situation depends on a few factors. Salicylic acid can be helpful for managing oiliness, but it can also be drying. Since you experience dryness on your chin, using this cleanser might exacerbate that dryness. It’s generally recommended to patch test any new product, especially one designed for acne, on a small area of skin before applying it to your entire face. This can help you see how your skin reacts. If you're unsure, consulting a dermatologist is always the best approach. They can accurately diagnose your skin concerns and recommend the most appropriate products for your specific needs.
