🫧To double cleanse or not? I have seen so much contradicting info about double cleansing! What is the correct answer? Does it depend on your skin type and/or ingredients you’re using, or is it the same advice for everyone? My skin is combo, oily forehead and slightly sensitive. I am using the foaming cleanser in the morning and I have slowly introduced the blemish control cleanser after micellar in the evenings. Let me know if this sounds ok! I follow up afterwards with the oil control cream and SPF cream during the day and the hyaluronic serum in the evenings. Thanks in advance for your help! 💞

Hello @Unfiltered_411 This is a great question and It does depend on your skin and also if you are wearing make-up , regularly reapplying your SPF throughout the day and also your skin concern factors. Just to double check your skins main concerns? This also does sound like a good skin cleaning routine 💙💚

I have a bit of discolouration around the bridge of my nose. It’s not that much but it bothers me. What CeraVe product can I use to target it. I have tried a couple of vitamin C serums but I don’t seem to achieve the result I am looking for.

Hi Jenny, Thank you for sharing. I understand you have applied vitamin C before, however I do Recommend the skin renewing vitamin c to brighten and even out skin tone in the AM. Then following with the spf 50 lotion to protect. You can also in the PM apply the Resurfacing retinol serum to the bridge off your nose to help reduce the discolouration 💙

Hello @Intotheglamor A great way to know , is if you are having are break outs in areas of your face you don’t normally have. Then this would be a good time to avoid using the product and then see how your skin is 💙

Hello @Ashanta Thank you for sharing your body skin concerns. You can cleanse the blemish areas with the blemish control gel,leave on the skin for a minute the wash off https://www.cerave.co.uk/skincare/moisturisers/blemish-control-cleanser Then apply the S A smoothing moisturiser this will help with exfoliation and hydrate the skin barrier https://www.cerave.co.uk/skincare/moisturisers/sa-smoothing-cream-tube 💚

Hello @Merves Thank you for sharing. I reccomend the SA smoothing range, this will help to exfoliate the skin whilst also helping to protect the skin barrier. As @Michelledb mentioned the S A smoothing cleanser. Then the Cream 💙https://www.cerave.co.uk/skincare/moisturisers/sa-smoothing-cream-tube

Hello @Monip Thank you for sharing this could be many factors. But making small changes can make a difference. I Recommend adding vitamin c in your morning routine , to help prevent oxidative factors. https://www.cerave.co.uk/skincare/serums/skin-renewing-vitamin-c-serum Also double cleansing in the PM , will help. What is your skin type and current skin routine? 💙

Hi as part of my am skincare routine I use the oil control moisturiser after that do you use the facial spf moisturiser? Secondly Do you use oil control moisturiser at night or do you use the pm facial moisturiser? Sorry I’m a bit confused where the oil control moisturiser comes in the am and pm skincare routine

Hello @Emma thank you for sharing, This is great you are applying the oil control moisturiser in your routine, this can be applied AM + PM. This will help to control excess oil. In the AM, apply the spf 50 over the top to protect your skin 💙
