CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser 236ml

The CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser (236 ml) is a gentle yet effective exfoliating cleanser designed to help improve the texture and appearance of the skin. It’s specifically formulated for individuals with rough, bumpy, or textured skin, as well as those dealing with conditions like keratosis pilaris (KP), which causes small, rough bumps on the skin.

This cleanser combines salicylic acid, a proven exfoliant, with ceramides and other moisturizing ingredients to smooth the skin while maintaining its natural moisture balance.

Key Features:

• Salicylic Acid (2%): The active ingredient salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that helps exfoliate the skin by penetrating deep into the pores to remove dead skin cells, dirt, and oil, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of bumps. It also helps to prevent clogged pores and breakouts.
• Ceramides: Contains ceramides (1, 3, and 6-II) to help restore and protect the skin’s natural barrier, ensuring hydration and preventing moisture loss while exfoliating.
• Non-Foaming: The formula is cream-based, which is gentle on the skin and less likely to cause irritation or dryness, even while exfoliating.
• Fragrance-Free: Safe for sensitive skin, this cleanser is free from fragrances, reducing the likelihood of irritation.
• Non-Comedogenic: Will not clog pores, making it suitable for acne-prone skin as well as those with textured skin concerns like keratosis pilaris.
• Gentle for Daily Use: Although it contains an exfoliating acid, the cleanser is designed to be mild enough for daily use on the body or face to smooth and refine rough skin.

Key Ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid (2%): Exfoliates the skin by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, helping to remove rough, bumpy texture and clear clogged pores.
• Ceramides (1, 3, and 6-II): Help to repair and maintain the skin’s protective barrier, ensuring that skin remains hydrated and protected during exfoliation.
• Glycerin: A humectant that attracts moisture to the skin, helping to prevent dryness and keep the skin soft.
• Vitamin D: Known for its skin-soothing properties, vitamin D can help calm irritated skin and support overall skin health.

How to Use:

1. Wet your face or body with lukewarm water.
2. Apply a small amount of the cleanser to your damp skin.
3. Massage gently in circular motions, focusing on areas with rough texture or bumps.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water, and pat your skin dry with a towel.
5. Follow up with a moisturizer (such as CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion) to lock in hydration after exfoliating.

Benefits:

• Smooths Rough, Bumpy Skin: The salicylic acid exfoliates the skin, improving the appearance of rough or bumpy skin, such as that caused by keratosis pilaris (KP) or other textural issues.
• Hydrating: The inclusion of ceramides and glycerin ensures the skin stays hydrated and doesn’t become dry or irritated during the exfoliation process.
• Non-Irritating: Unlike harsher exfoliating scrubs or acids, this cleanser is formulated to be gentle on the skin, making it suitable for daily use without causing irritation.
• Improves Skin Texture: Regular use of this cleanser can help improve the skin’s overall smoothness and appearance, leaving it looking more even and refined.
• Versatile: It can be used on both the face and body, making it a great option for treating bumpy skin on the arms, legs, or back as well.

Packaging:

• The 236 ml (8 oz) size is compact yet long-lasting, and it typically comes in a bottle with a pump dispenser for easy and hygienic use.
