CeraVe SA Cleanser | Salicylic Acid Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide & Ceramides| BHA Exfoliant for Face | Fragrance Free Non-Comedogenic | 8 Ounce

The CeraVe SA Cleanser is a gel face wash formulated with salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid also known as BHA. It leaves the bottle as a clear gel and works into a light foam when lathered. The formula pairs the salicylic acid with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin D, and the three ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) found across the CeraVe range. There are no beads, grains, or microbeads in the mix, so the texture stays smooth from start to rinse. It can be used on the face and body, and it was developed with dermatologists. The bottle holds 8 ounces.

• Size: 8 ounce bottle, gel format

• Fragrance free and non-comedogenic
• Suitable for face and body

To use it, wet your face or the area you are washing, apply a small amount, and work it into a lather before rinsing thoroughly. Because salicylic acid can be drying for some people, starting with once a day or every other day gives skin time to adjust before using it more frequently. Patch testing on a small area first is a reasonable step if you have sensitive skin. The gel format rinses cleanly without leaving a residue, which makes it easy to follow with a moisturizer or other steps in a routine. Store the bottle upright at room temperature and away from direct sunlight or heat to keep the formula stable.

When comparing cleansers of this type, the concentration and form of salicylic acid matters, as does whether the formula includes supporting ingredients that offset dryness. The inclusion of hyaluronic acid and ceramides here is intended to balance the exfoliating action. The 8 ounce size is on the larger end for a face cleanser, which is practical if you plan to use it on the body as well, since body application uses product more quickly than face washing alone.
