The CeraVe SA Cleanser is a gentle exfoliating cleanser developed with dermatologists to help cleanse the skin while improving the appearance and feel of rough, uneven texture. Formulated with salicylic acid and three essential ceramides, it helps remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells while supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier. CeraVe lists this cleanser as suitable for both the face and body, including normal and acne-prone skin.
Powered by salicylic acid, this foaming gel cleanser provides gentle chemical exfoliation to help smooth rough and bumpy-feeling skin. Unlike abrasive scrubs, the formula is designed to exfoliate without harsh microbeads or grains that can scratch the skin. The addition of ceramides helps maintain the skin barrier while cleansing, making it a practical option for regular skincare routines.
The formula also contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Hyaluronic acid helps the skin retain moisture, while niacinamide is included as part of the formula to help support a comfortable skin feel. The cleanser is non-comedogenic and fragrance-free, and CeraVe describes it as suitable for sensitive skin.
Available in 237ml and 473ml sizes, the CeraVe SA Cleanser can be selected according to your preferred quantity. The 473ml size is convenient for regular home use, while the 237ml bottle offers a more compact option. Official CeraVe product information confirms both sizes for the SA Cleanser.
For use, wet the skin with lukewarm water, apply the cleanser and gently massage it over the skin in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly. As with other salicylic-acid products, follow the product packaging directions and adjust frequency according to your skin's tolerance.
