Hey, I used to use the CeraVe foaming cleanser normal to oily a couple of years ago, and it was amazing! It worked so well. But then I started breaking out into whiteheads, which made me stop using it. Do you think i can start using the cleanser again to see if it will clear my skin?

Hey! Yes absolutely, try using this in your routine again, you could always try the blemish control gel too in your evening routine! 💙

Hello! I recommend the Resurfacing Retinol Serum. This helps to fade pigmentation which is great for post blemish marks 💙 Remember to use SPF50 daily!

I have a basically oily skin especially around the nose area. I have milk spots over my nose and slightly to the side. Most of the products I’ve noticed are for either normal skin or normal to dry so I’m quite confused as to which to use

Hey Chrissy, milk spots occur when there’s a build up of dead skin cells. Try using a lightweight moisturiser, such as the AM Facial Lotion and then PM Facial Lotion for evening. I recommend using an exfoliant a couple of times a week to remove dead skin cells, this can be a scrub or a chemical exfoliant like the Resurfacing Retinol Serum. 💙

The AM Facial Lotion SPF50 would be perfect for the morning to protect your skin against pigmentation. For the evening, I suggest using the Resurfacing Retinol Serum to create an even skin tone 💙

I love 10 of my CeraVe products. My skin improves weekly. However, I am unable to use the two products I have with sunscreen. I cannot get them to blend in, no matter what I try. My skin is now beautifully moisturized, but I need a sunscreen. I have ordered the Sunscreen Sick from Amazon in hopes… Can you advise me, as I am a pensioner and cannot have products I can not utilize. SSH-B

Hi @SSH-B 🌹 , I would recommend the AM Facial Lotion SPF50 over the Skin Renewing Day Cream (purely because I’m not sure if that has SPF in it, this isn’t available in the UK so I don’t know!) Cleanse, AM facial lotion and then PM would be Cleanse, Resurfacing Retinol (leave this on for 20 minutes) then apply your PM Facial Lotion. Hope this helps 💙
