CeraVe

Renewing SA Cleanser

SUMMARY OF REVIEWS

CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser has a lightweight gel-cream texture that feels smooth and cushiony, not stripping. Salicylic acid in a rinse-off formula lowers overexfoliation risk, and ceramides plus niacinamide support the skin barrier. Use once nightly or every other night during breakouts, but avoid overuse if skin is very dry or compromised.
