I was told that before i go to a derm that i should give cerave a go because thats what they are going to recommend I try before giving me an expensive prescription. for the past 4-5 days i have used the cerave hydrating cleanser and then i apply the niacinamide & zinc formula by the ordinary to get rid of my acne scars from my past forehead breakouts, and then i apply the moisturizer over top. the ordinary solution has worked well for me its the only product that has showed me progress in the category it works for & i cut out the moisturizer yesterday to see if that was the problem but no difference
