Hello @Jada Thank you for sharing, You can cleanse with the Foaming cleanser which will help to remove excess oil am + pm then follow with spf 50 lotion to moisturise and protect. Then in the pm after cleansing the new gel to cream oil control moisturiser to rebalance excess oil 💙💚

Hi I have type 2 diabetes and my skin is very dry sensitive and I suffer from cellulitis. I get so down as my doctor just says it's because of your diabetes I have tried lots of creams and nothing. And now I was hope CeraVa is my answer to my dreams. He gives me dermal for using in shower and had others from doctors but I could scream at him he doesnt listen.

It is your right to request an appointment with a dermatologist. Finding the right product could be a lengthy process. Start with clean hands. I do know that CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser will help dry skin. Advanced Repair Ointment applied at night will help too. I personally think that wearing a hair bonnet at night to keep the hair off your face can be beneficial. I use a mulberry silk pillowcase which I swear by. All effort put in is a good thing.

The Hydrating Cleanser would be great, you can use this on your face+body. Then for your face the AM Facial Lotion SPF50 for morning and the Moisturising Cream for evening will help to target the dryness. For the body, use the Moisturising Cream (we do have a bigger tub in this available) 💚💙

I have spots around the bottom of my face. Along the chin outline and can’t get rid of them. Wondering if it’s menopause acne

I prefer the hydrating cleanser as I can find cleansers that foam quite drying for my skin. However, I haven’t tried this particular Cerave cleanser. Let us know how you get on.

Hey! I recommend the Blemish Control Cleanser, AM Facial Lotion SPF50 then the Blemish Control Gel for your evening moisturiser - or if you feel like you need more hydration, layer the PM Facial Lotion first then the Blemish Control Gel as a spot treatment 💙(edited)

Hi I have dark circles on my face from spots but I’m finding it hard to find a product that helps without me breaking out more and drying my skin any tips?

I use this currently but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be strong enough if that makes sense xx

Hey! Try using the Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum, this helps to target pigmentation. Then use the AM Facial Lotion SPF to prevent futher pigmentation on the skin! 💙

Hi, I have many sun damage dark spots on my face. Which product would really help to get rid of them? I mean, is it even possible to get rid of them? Thank you.

First and most important, if you don't already, use CeraVe AM moisturiser with spf50 - this will help to prevent melanin overstimulation in the areas of concern and reduce risk of more irregular Pigment. The experts will be back on Monday to help.

Hiya, start incorporating the Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum in the morning, followed by the AM Facial Lotion SPF50. You could also try the Resurfacing Retinol Serum in the evening, start using 2x weekly then increase every 2 weeks to avoid irritation and dryness 💙

Ideally, I would love to reduce puffiness and dark circles from beneath my eyes. I would also like advice around skin care routines on my face; combination skin - prone to dryness and eczema - I prefer anti aging to maintain my skins suppleness & elasticity. Would a hyaluronic acid based serum be advised? And an spf anti aging moisturiser perhaps? 😌
