Q: How much Salicylic Acid does this contain? Label should show %, usually 1% or 2%. This is important to me. Thanks.
A: This is the info from CeraVe - "This product is a facial cleanser which contains 2% salicylic acid; it is comparable to other over-the-counter anti-acne face washes, though this product does not specifically claim to be anti-acne."
submitted byTricia - 4 years agoA: The reason the label doesn't show how much Salicylic Acid this contains is because 1) the ingredient is pretty far down the list, meaning it only contains a small, insubstantial amount (probably less than 1%) and 2) Salicylic Acid is better as a leave-on exfoliant. In a cleanser, it is rinsed off before it can begin to work, and in this case, the pH is outside the ideal range to be effective. This is a good cleanser, especially for oily skin, but not for exfoliating purposes or for anyone looking for the benefits of salicylic acid. You'll need to buy a separate product for that.

Q: I have very sensitive skin, and an oily t-spot. Would this be a good facial wash to try? I've tried the CeraVe foaming facial wash, but it only made my skin burn with no results.
A: Hey friend I have lived this. There is a good chance your natural skin barrier needs to heal before you use these kinds of products. Try the moisturizing wash and the moisturizing cream for two months and a good sensitive spf. Give your skin a chance to heal and rebuild the barrier. Your skin will rebalance and then you can lean into more "harsh" products. This is what I was told to do from a dear friend who is an esthetician. Seriously saved my skin. Such a huge difference! Good luck!
