CeraVe Acne Skin Care Set — 4-piece acne kit with 5oz 4% benzoyl peroxide cleanser, retinol & SPF 30 moisturizers

CeraVe Acne Skin Care Set is a four-piece routine that cleanses with 4% benzoyl peroxide, resurfaces with encapsulated retinol, and protects and hydrates with AM and PM moisturizers.

This kit combines dermatologist-developed actives and barrier-supporting ingredients across a simple morning and evening regimen. The set includes a 5 oz Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser with 4% benzoyl peroxide to address breakouts, a 1 oz Resurfacing Retinol Serum to refine texture and post-acne marks, a 2 oz AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30 for daytime hydration and UV protection, and a 2 oz PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion to restore moisture overnight. Each product is formulated with CeraVe’s three essential ceramides to help maintain the skin’s protective lipid layer, plus calming and hydrating agents like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.

How does the cleanser target acne without over-drying skin?

The Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser delivers a 4% benzoyl peroxide dose in a unique cream-to-foam texture that cleanses and treats active breakouts. Instead of stripping oils, it also contains hydrating and soothing ingredients to support the skin barrier while it treats blemishes.

• 4% benzoyl peroxide to help clear pimples, whiteheads and blackheads
• Cream-to-foam formula for effective cleansing with less tightness
• Includes hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to help retain moisture and calm skin
• Daily use design suitable for acne-prone skin when used as directed

What results can I expect from the resurfacing retinol serum?

The Resurfacing Retinol Serum uses encapsulated retinol plus calming actives to help smooth skin texture and reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and enlarged pores. It’s formulated to be lightweight and fast-absorbing so it layers easily under moisturizers and fits into evening routines.

• Encapsulated retinol targets texture and surface irregularities
• Niacinamide helps soothe and even skin tone
• Licorice root extract contributes brightening support for post-acne discoloration
• Fast-absorbing serum texture works well under night moisturizer

How do the AM and PM moisturizers fit into a daily regimen?

The AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion provides lightweight hydration with broad-spectrum SPF 30 to protect against daily UV exposure, while the PM lotion replenishes moisture overnight using humectants and ceramides. Both formulas are non-comedogenic and designed to support the skin barrier so treatments can work effectively.

• AM: Broad-spectrum SPF 30 with InVisibleZinc™ technology plus ceramides
• PM: Ultra-lightweight night lotion with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide
• Both contain CeraVe’s three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) for barrier support
• Non-comedogenic formulations suitable for layering with acne treatments

How should I layer these products for morning and evening?

In the morning, cleanse, apply the AM Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30, and follow with any makeup. In the evening, cleanse, apply the Retinol Serum to targeted areas or all over as tolerated, then follow with the PM Moisturizing Lotion to lock in hydration overnight.

• Morning: Cleanser → AM Moisturizer with SPF → optional makeup
• Evening: Cleanser → Resurfacing Retinol Serum → PM Moisturizer
• Introduce retinol gradually and use sunscreen each morning
• Avoid mixing strong exfoliants with retinol without professional guidance
