CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser 237ml is a gentle, fragrance-free exfoliating face and body wash that uses salicylic acid to smooth rough, bumpy texture while protecting your skin barrier. Developed with dermatologists, it sweeps away dead cells, oil, and buildup without harsh scrubs, leaving skin clearer and softer. Three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide keep skin comfortable and hydrated, so you exfoliate without the tight, stripped feeling.

Why CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser Works

Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble BHA that gently dissolves the bond between dead skin cells and clears out pores, which helps soften rough patches, blackheads, and the bumpy texture often linked to keratosis pilaris. Because the formula pairs this exfoliation with barrier-restoring ceramides and hydrating ingredients, it refines skin over time without the irritation or dryness that harsher acid washes can cause.

Ideal For

This cleanser suits anyone dealing with rough or uneven texture, clogged pores, mild breakouts, or the chicken-skin bumps of keratosis pilaris, whether on the face or body. It works especially well for normal, oily, and combination skin that wants gentle daily exfoliation. Very dry or highly sensitive skin should ease in slowly and follow with a ceramide moisturizer. It is a maintenance and prevention cleanser rather than a treatment for severe acne.

Each ingredient plays a role in smoothing and supporting the skin:

• Salicylic Acid (BHA): an oil-soluble exfoliant that clears pores and refines rough, uneven texture

• Three Essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): help restore and maintain the skin's natural protective barrier

• Hyaluronic Acid: draws in moisture to keep skin hydrated and smooth

• Niacinamide: helps soothe and calm the look of the skin

• Vitamin D: an antioxidant that supports overall skin condition

The formula is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and allergy-tested, so it works for the face and body alike.

Use morning and evening, or as directed by your dermatologist. Massage a small amount over damp skin in gentle circular motions on the face or body, then rinse thoroughly. For rough, bumpy areas like the backs of the arms or thighs, let the lather sit for a minute before rinsing. If your skin is sensitive or new to acids, start three to four times a week and build up gradually.
