A: Hello CG. Thank you for sharing your concerns with CeraVe SA Cream for Rough and Bumpy Skin, Moisturizer Unscented - 12oz. Parabens are a group of commonly used ingredients that act as a preservative in cosmetics and personal care products. They are highly effective in preventing the growth of fungi, bacteria, and yeast that could contaminate and degrade products. As part of our commitment to deliver high-quality, effective products, certain parabens are used in some of our formulations to ensure the safety of our consumers. Extensive research spanning decades has confirmed the parabens in our portfolio are safe at the concentrations we use. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates the personal care industry, upholds these findings. While we take great care in evaluating each ingredient we use and are confident in our products’ safety, we know there is public conversation encouraging consumers to avoid certain ingredients, as is the case with some parabens. Based on growing demand for products that do not include parabens, we substituted them for other preservatives in some of our products. Consumers can look on our products’ labels to see what ingredients are included. Additionally, as part of our innovation strategy we are developing packaging systems and new product formulations that are less vulnerable to microbiological contamination, which will limit the use of preservatives in general. As we have for over the past 100 years, we will continue to take a rigorous approach to product quality and safety, while monitoring consumer insights and preferences. If you would like to learn more about parabens and how they protect your safety, we encourage you to visit: https://inside-our-products.loreal.com/ingredients/parabens.

A: Hello Miller! The CeraVe SA Cream for Rough and Bumpy Skin is not the same as the SA Renewing Foot Cream. While both contain salicylic acid (SA) to exfoliate, they are formulated with different ingredient combinations and concentrations for specific areas of the body. The SA Cream for Rough and Bumpy Skin is generally used for body areas prone to keratosis pilaris or rough patches, whereas the SA Renewing Foot Cream is specifically designed for the thicker, tougher skin of the feet. You can find more information on the CeraVe website by comparing the ingredient lists of each product.

A: Hello Aa, Thank you for your interest in CeraVE SA Cream For Rough and Bumpy Skin, Moisturizer Unscented-12 oz. We do not test this product specifically on the under arm area therefore we are unable to make any claims regarding this product's safety when applying to that specific area of the body. Salicylic Acid is an exfoliant and it is possible that it might contribute to irritation on the skin in this particular area, but we do not have conclusive research on this subject at this time. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for reaching out to CeraVe!
