Gentle, refreshing ,and leaves my skin feeling clean without feeling dry or tight
I really like this CeraVe cleanser. It feels gentle and refreshing on my skin,and it cleanses well without making my skin feel dry or uncomfortable . The scent is very mild and clear, which I really appreciate because I don’t like strong fragrances in skincare products After washing, my skin feels soft,fresh,and clean. I don’t experience that tight or dry feeling that some cleaners can cause .It leaves my skin feeling renewed and refreshed without stripping away too much moisture . Overall,I”m very happy with this cleanser and would definitely recommend it for everyday use.

1000% YES!!!
My son and I both suffer from keratosis pilaris on the back of our arms. I have “suffered” with this my entire life until I started using this about a year ago! We use this religiously every day in the shower, and we went from having rough and bumpy arms to smooth skin. While we still get occasional bumps here and there, they are smooth instead of rough, dry and red. We do not follow up with any special skin care such as lotion, and we have not had any issues with dry skin. I will NEVER stop using this product! Absolutely life-changing!

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.

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
