CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser for Normal, Dry & Rough Skin, 236ml

CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser uses salicylic acid to loosen the bonds between dead cells at the skin surface, improving rough texture without the mechanical abrasion of a physical scrub. Ceramides and niacinamide sit alongside it so the exfoliation happens without stripping the barrier, which is what makes it usable daily rather than as an occasional treatment.

Specs

• Active ingredient: Salicylic acid (BHA)
• Also contains: Ceramides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid
• Form: Cleansing wash
• Volume: 236ml
• Use: Face and body, for rough or bumpy skin
• Brand: CeraVe

Benefits

• Chemical exfoliation is gentler than scrubbing. Scrubs work by abrasion, which rough dry skin does not need more of
• Commonly used on the rough, bumpy skin of the upper arms and thighs, where an ordinary body wash makes no difference
• Ceramides support the barrier during exfoliation, which is what stops daily use turning into irritation
• Niacinamide helps with the mild redness that exfoliating actives can bring
• Give it four to six weeks. Texture changes slowly and nothing here works overnight

How to Use

• Apply to wet skin, face or body, and massage gently in circular motions
• Rinse thoroughly with water
• Use once or twice daily, depending on how your skin responds
• On rough body areas, leave it on for around 30 seconds before rinsing
• Always follow with a moisturiser, and use SPF during the day
• Cut back if dryness or irritation develops. Avoid the eye area
