CeraVe exfoliating face wash effectively cleanses to remove dirt and oil
Salicylic acid (SA) is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), an effective exfoliator that removes dead skin cells and promotes radiance. Salicylic acid acts as a chemical exfoliant which feels less harsh than physical ones like face scrubs
Foaming cleanser dispenses as a clear gel and transforms into a foaming face wash as you lather
Facial cleanser contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin D to help cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate skin without leaving a stripped & tight feeling
Face exfoliator & face cleanser provide skin relief to dry skin, sensitive skin, rough and bumpy skin, and all other skin types. Suitable for acne prone, oily skin and even those with psoriasis
Ceramides are found naturally in the skin and make up 50% of the lipids in the skin barrier. All CeraVe products are formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to help restore and maintain the skin’s natural barrier
Developed with dermatologists & #1 dermatologist recommended skincare brand, CeraVe Skincare is developed with dermatologists and has products suitable for dry skin, sensitive skin, oily skin, acne-prone, and more

Q: How much Salicylic Acid does this contain? Label should show %, usually 1% or 2%. This is important to me. Thanks.
submitted by Blublood - 6 years ago
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 - 3 years ago
A: 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.
submitted by Riley - 2 years ago
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!

It worked for my boyfriend, just not for me. My skin is super sentiment, and after the first use notice, I was getting small pimples I've never had before.

This is the perfect face wash. I wanted something light but not too light and that wasn’t gonna dry me out or make me oily. I need something that will also prevent acne. This does all those things for me. It says un scented but it’s got a very light smell to it.

This has been a really good product for my oily skin, I used to use the oily skin cleanser by CeraVe, but this one worked so much better for me and helped eliminate my blackheads as well ! I love using this everyday and it feels so nice and non-drying ! I would definitely recommend if you didn’t like the oily skin foaming cleanser !

This face wash has made the most improvement to my skin out of all the CeraVe face wash products. It makes my skin feel clean and makes my pores look a-lot less oily. This should be a staple in everyone’s skincare.

This is hands-down my favorite cleanser ever. The salicylic acid in this cleanser has helped to clear my face from dark spots tremendously. A little goes a long way with this product I’ve had it for over a month and haven’t even waste a quarter of the bottle. I love it so much especially pairing it with my favorite moisturizer and oil
