CeraVe SA Cleanser

Developed with dermatologists, this cleanser gently exfoliates while maintaining the skin's moisture barrier. Enriched with three essential ceramides and salicylic acid, this smoothing formula gently exfoliates and softens even the roughest and driest skin.

Great For: Normal to dry and dehydrated skin.

Customer Review: “As a cold, windy, dry winter sets in, I found that my skin was getting very dry and flaky, but that the peeling exfoliator I'd been using (which used cellulose -- plant pulp) to scrub away dead skin was no longer working the way I wanted. I was getting small, inflamed bumps in tricky areas of my skin and dryness everywhere else. I'd never tried a chemical exfoliant before but, after trying this out a couple of times, I was content to throw out the remainder of my physical exfoliant. It dissolves away the clinging dead skin without damaging the healthy skin... 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
