Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CeraVe Acne Quiz?
The CeraVe Acne Quiz is an interactive digital tool designed to help you navigate our specialized range of acne treatments and cleansers available in Canada. By answering a few simple questions about your current acne concerns (like breakouts, individual pimples or post-acne marks) you will get a personalized recommendation of a CeraVe acne routine for your specific needs. -
How long does the quiz take?
We know that managing acne requires patience, but finding the right product shouldn't. This quiz is designed to be quick and efficient, typically taking less than 1 minute (2–5 questions) to provide your personalized acne-fighting recommendation. -
Why should I use the Acne Quiz instead of just picking any spot treatment?
Acne-prone skin has a compromised natural barrier. While many treatments can be harsh, all CeraVe acne products contain three essential ceramides (EOP, NP, AP) to help restore the skin’s protective barrier while treating acne. The quiz helps differentiate between CeraVe solutions such as:
Acne Foaming Cleanser: Formulated with Benzoyl Peroxide to clear acne pimples and help prevent new breakouts.
Resurfacing Retinol Serum: Ideal for post-acne marks and visible pores to help resurface the skin without drying it out.
Salicylic Acid (SA) Formulas: With 2% Salicylic Acid to target clogged pores and reduce blackheads.
Anti-Spot Barrier Patches: To target individual spots in 3 hours. -
Can I buy the recommended products immediately?
Yes. Once the Product Finder suggests your ideal match, we provide direct links to our authorized retail partners in Canada. -
Does this replace a consultation with a dermatologist?
This tool is intended for educational and informational purposes only. While CeraVe is the #1 dermatologist-recommended acne brand in Canada*, acne can be a complex medical condition. If you have severe cystic acne, persistent scarring, or a specific medical concern, we always recommend consulting a healthcare professional or dermatologist for a personalized clinical diagnosis.
