Q: Is this for nightly use only? Can it be used daily to replace my normal face cleanser?

submitted by Bobby C - 3 months ago
  • A: Hi there! The CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser is formulated for daily use and can certainly replace your normal face cleanser. While it contains Salicylic Acid to gently exfoliate, it is also enriched with three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid to help maintain the skin's natural barrier without being overly drying. Most users find it gentle enough to use both morning and night. However, if you have particularly sensitive or dry skin, you may want to start by using it once a day or every other day to see how your skin adjusts before moving to twice-daily use. Always remember to follow up with a moisturizer and, if using it in the morning, an SPF, as exfoliating ingredients can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.

Q: can I use it every night?

submitted by michelle - 1 year ago
  • A: Hello michelle! Thank you for asking about using our Renewing SA Cleanser every night. Our Renewing SA Cleanser is formulated with salicylic acid, which is a gentle exfoliant designed to help smooth and soften skin. While it is designed for daily use and to be non-irritating, the frequency that works best can depend on your individual skin type and sensitivity. Many people can comfortably use it every night. However, if you are new to salicylic acid or have particularly sensitive skin, you might consider starting with every other night and gradually increasing to nightly use if your skin tolerates it well. Always observe how your skin feels and reacts. If you notice any excessive dryness, redness, or irritation, it would be best to reduce the frequency of use. We recommend following up with a good moisturizer to support your skin barrier.

Keeps my pores clear without drying out my skin

I had very oily skin with acne for most of my life so it was an adjustment when I no longer had oily skin but still had occasional acne. Acne products are too harsh for me now. After trying countless products, this was the first that was just perfect for my skin. Please don't ever discontinue it!

Excellent smooth flavor and perfect for everyday cooking.

I really like this olive oil because it has a very smooth and light flavor that doesn't overpower the food. I use it mostly for dressing salads and for healthy everyday cooking. Also, the bottle size and design are very convenient to use in the kitchen. I completely recommend it.

Great inexpensive SA cleanser

I added this product to my routine a good 5+ years ago and haven't thought of switching it out once. It's really gentle on the skin and I like that it doesn't feel like there's a leftover residue after you rinse it off. The Salicylic acid does it's job of dealing with my combination skin tone without leaving me feeling dried out after ward. The fact you can get this in a handful of sizes is also great.

**Phenoxyethanol does not suit many people.

**Phenoxyethanol does not suit many people. It can cause rashes and even hives for some users. It is also used in the CeraVe SA Renewing Cleanser. Please consider replacing this preservative with alternatives such as Ethylhexylglycerin and 1,2-Hexanediol. Please kindly consider this request. Thank you. 🙏We're not asking CeraVe to remove Phenoxyethanol from all of its products. We only kindly request that you remove it from the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser and replace it with another suitable preservative, such as 1,2-Hexanediol or another effective alternative. This small change would make the cleanser much more suitable for people who are sensitive or allergic to Phenoxyethanol while maintaining the product's quality and effectiveness.If you're sending this to CeraVe, this version is polite and clear.It gently exfoliates and helps a lot for people with sensitive, highly comedone-prone, and damaged skin. However, the preservative Phenoxyethanol causes very bad reactions for some people. Please consider replacing this preservative with a gentler alternative.We sincerely request that you😅😖pls request

Hello Snigdha! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we understand how important it is to find gentle products when managing sensitive, comedone-prone, or compromised skin. We use phenoxyethanol at highly controlled, safe concentrations to ensure our formulas remain free of harmful bacteria and mold during use, but we absolutely hear your request for alternative preservatives and will share this directly with our formulation and development teams. A helpful tip when managing extreme sensitivities is to always perform a small patch test on your inner forearm for twenty-four to forty-eight hours with any new skincare product before applying it directly to your face.

Outstanding CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser product

Very outstanding facial cleanser. It deep-cleans the skin, removing oil and dirt and it works on removing acne breakouts. It leaves the skin feeling clean and soft and I really like that it doesn't make the face feel dry. I am happy I bought it. I think that all CeraVe products are great. I have tried other CeraVe products, but Renewing SA Cleanser better fits my cleansing needs, so I am staying loyal to it. I like that the Salycic Acid is controlling acne breakouts.
Love CeraVe!

Keeps my acne in check

I've got oily skin, plus the occasional breakout, and this has become my go to. It helps with my breakouts and clogged pores, and my skin feels noticeably cleaner and smoother after using it. No irritation, no scent, no fuss. It's mild enough for everyday use, though I stick to just using it at night, and it never irritates my skin. It's affordable too for the whole tub you're getting. My only complaint is it doesn't foam as well as I'd like

100% Amazing-ness!

While I prefer the foaming cleanser, my teen uses this product DAILY! She loves the quality of this cleanser and the effectiveness of acne. It doesn't leave her skin feeling dry or lacking. The suggested amount to use allows for longevity, which means less money out of my pocket! The overall durability and amazing-ness of this is par-none!

Keeps my skin smooth and bright!

This is one of my favorite cleansers. My skin is used to salicylic acid so it works well for me. It cleans my pores making them less visible and makes my skin smoother over time. It also helps reduce spots and clears up my skin making it look brighter.

Gentle, Yet Effective

I asked my dermatologist for a good facial cleanser to also help with my aging skin. He recommended this product, and I love it so far! It lathers really well, and I can also use it as an eye makeup remover. I don’t feel like I need two different products. I like the feeling of how clean my face feels. I can feel the makeup actually come off, where some cleansers feel like makeup is left over if I did a second clean. It’s also gentle on my skin, which is great because sometimes I do have sensitive skin issues.

Got rid of my clogged pores. It helped me so much with my skin, and it feels like it's hydrated all day. It helped my skin so much; I have such sensitive skin, and it didn't irritate me at all.

Good cleanser

This blender does a great job of removing makeup and oils from my skin and is unscented. Because it has salicylic acid it can be very drying to your skin, so make sure to moisturize after using it. Bottle lasts forever and great value for the price.
