This moisturizer was created especially for skin that is prone to blemishes. This CeraVe line, which was created in collaboration with dermatologists, uses calming chemicals to fight imperfections without compromising the skin's natural defenses. This face moisturizer not only makes blackheads and pimples less noticeable, but it also makes pores and skin texture look better. However, the mix of alpha hydroxy acids such lactic acid and glycolic acid with salicylic acid (2%) gives this moisturizer an exfoliating effect as well. Consequently, this moisturizer aids in the removal of dead skin cells that can block pores and cause imperfections.
