CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser 236ml

The CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser is a multi-tasking, gel-to-foam wash designed for both the face and body. It is specifically developed with dermatologists to address rough, bumpy, and uneven skin texture while protecting the skin’s natural barrier. Unlike traditional physical scrubs, it uses chemical exfoliation to soften the skin without causing micro-tears, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin or conditions like keratosis pilaris.

Benefits

• Gentle Exfoliation: Effectively removes dirt, oil, and dead skin cells to alleviate rough texture and small bumps.

• Deep Pore Cleansing: Penetrates deeper than surface cleansers to unclog pores and reduce the risk of breakouts.

• Barrier Restoration: Infused with essential ceramides to ensure the skin’s natural protective barrier remains intact.

• Hydrating Finish: Formulated to leave skin feeling soft and refreshed rather than tight, dry, or stripped.

• Non-Irritating: Contains no harsh microbeads and is fragrance-free, allergy-tested, and non-comedogenic.

Key Ingredients

• Salicylic Acid (BHA): Acts as a chemical exfoliant to loosen the bonds between dead skin cells and clear out buildup.

• 3 Essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): Critical lipids that help rebuild the skin barrier and lock in essential hydration.

• Hyaluronic Acid: Attracts and retains moisture to keep the skin plump during the exfoliation process.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps calm the skin, improve texture, and reduce transepidermal water loss.

How to Use

• Application: Wet skin with lukewarm water. Massage the cleanser into the skin in a gentle, circular motion.

• Duration: Work into a light lather for a few seconds before rinsing thoroughly.

• Frequency: Suitable for daily use, morning and evening. For drier skin, start with 2–3 times a week.

• Caution: Always follow with a moisturizer and apply SPF during the day, as chemical exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity.

Quick Comparison: Smoothing vs. Blemish Control

While both cleansers contain Salicylic Acid, they serve different primary goals. The SA Smoothing Cleanser focuses on texture and hydration, making it ideal for rough or bumpy skin. In contrast, the Blemish Control Cleanser contains a higher concentration of Salicylic Acid (2%) and oil-absorbing clay specifically for targeting active acne and blackheads.
