The CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser (237 ml) is a gentle yet effective facial cleanser formulated to exfoliate and hydrate the skin. It is specifically designed for individuals with rough or bumpy skin, such as those dealing with conditions like keratosis pilaris, and can also help with acne-prone skin. Here’s a closer look at its key features and benefits:

Key Features:

• Salicylic Acid (SA): The cleanser contains salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that helps to exfoliate the skin. It gently removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and helps to smooth rough or bumpy skin textures, such as those caused by keratosis pilaris or acne.
• Ceramides: CeraVe products are known for including ceramides, which help restore and maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier. This ensures that, while the cleanser exfoliates, it doesn’t overly dry out or irritate the skin.
• Non-Foaming Formula: Unlike traditional foaming cleansers, this product has a non-foaming gel formula that gently cleanses the skin without stripping its natural moisture. It’s suitable for sensitive skin and can be used daily.
• Fragrance-Free: This cleanser is free of added fragrances, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin or those prone to irritation.
• Gentle Exfoliation: The formula exfoliates while keeping the skin hydrated, which makes it suitable for individuals with conditions like keratosis pilaris (KP) or those who want to improve skin texture without irritation.
• Oil-Free: This cleanser is oil-free, which makes it suitable for those with oily or acne-prone skin.

How to Use:

1. Wet your face with lukewarm water.
2. Apply a small amount of the cleanser to your hands or a cleansing tool.
3. Gently massage the cleanser into your face in circular motions.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
6. Follow with a moisturizer (CeraVe’s PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion or AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion is a good option).

Benefits:

• Smooths Skin: The salicylic acid helps to smooth rough patches, reduce bumps, and clear pores, improving skin texture over time.
• Hydrates and Protects: While exfoliating, it also replenishes the skin’s moisture with ceramides, keeping the skin soft and hydrated.
• Suitable for Sensitive Skin: The gentle, non-foaming, and fragrance-free formula makes it safe for daily use, even for those with sensitive skin.
• Fights Acne: It helps to prevent breakouts by keeping pores clear and preventing the buildup of dead skin cells.
