Cetaphil Gentle Clear Pore Clearing Acne Cleanser

Product Information

If you have breakout-prone, sensitive skin, you need a cleanser that is strong enough to clear blemishes but gentle enough not to cause irritation or dryness. Cetaphil Gentle Clear Pore Clearing Acne Cleanser delivers exactly that. This foaming gel cleanser is formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid – the maximum strength over-the-counter (OTC) formula – to help reduce breakouts by gently exfoliating and clearing blemishes.

What makes it different? It contains an Advanced Moisture Blend that provides 24-hour dryness relief, so your skin stays hydrated and comfortable while acne-fighting ingredients do their work. This cleanser treats the underlying causes of breakouts without over-drying sensitive skin, visibly improving skin tone and texture to reveal healthier-looking skin every day.

It is clinically tested on sensitive skin and can be used on both your face and body. It is fragrance-free, paraben-free, hypoallergenic, and won't clog pores – because clear skin shouldn't come at the cost of comfort.
