A: Hi Brooke O Thank you for your question the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser. For combination skin we would suggest trying the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. Thank you for choosing CeraVe!

A: Yes but don't overdo it! I have combo skin and I use this 2-3x per week in the mornings. Love this cleanser.

A: Yes! It's recommended for combination skin

A: Hi! The answer is yes, you can use this twice a day, but some people’s skin finds salicylic acid a bit harsh, so make sure to only use it in moderation and not scrub to hard, because rot does act as an exfoliate as well.

A: Hey Cheryl, Great question! Yes you can! However, if you have sensitive skin, we recommend to use 2-3x a week first to ease into your skincare routine.

A: Hello there - Thank you for reaching out to us about CeraVe Renewing Face Wash for Normal Skin with Salicylic Acid. Except for active ingredients, information regarding the function and percentage of specific ingredients in our products is proprietary.

This website contains safety information about cosmetic products, their ingredients and how they are tested and regulated. We hope this information is helpful and we wish you great success with our products.

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.

A: Great question, Lucy! It's excellent for daily use to deeply cleansing pores, smooth skin texture, making it a great choice for acne-prone or textured skin. It will also remove light makeup such as foundation, blush, etc.

A: Hey, Great question! Yes, you can use a salicylic acid face wash and a retinol product, but it is best to use them at different times of day (example: salicylic acid in the morning, retinol at night) to avoid irritation. Both are exfoliating ingredients, so starting slowly and introducing them one at a time is crucial.

A: Hello Aleene! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns about milia and finding products that don't over-dry your mature skin, especially after using strong treatments. We understand how delicate this balance can be. At CeraVe, our philosophy centers on developing dermatologist-backed formulas that support and restore the skin's natural barrier. For addressing issues like milia, gentle exfoliation is often beneficial, but it's crucial that this process doesn't compromise your skin's hydration or protective layer. Our SA Cleanser incorporates salicylic acid for a mild, yet effective, exfoliating action, designed to help improve skin texture and address concerns such as milia. What makes it particularly suitable for more mature or sensitive skin is its unique blend of three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. This combination works to cleanse and smooth while simultaneously helping to maintain and restore your skin's vital barrier function, aiming to prevent the dryness and discomfort you've experienced with other products. It's designed to provide purification without stripping, offering a gentle approach to improving skin appearance while ensuring sustained hydration.

If you have very dry or sensitive skin, you may find that the salicylic acid in this cleanser is too drying.
