Q: Can I use this twice a day?

submitted by Cheryl - 2 years ago
  • 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.

    submitted bytrufflefluffle44 - 11 months ago
  • 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.

Q: How much Salicylic Acid does this contain? Label should show %, usually 1% or 2%. This is important to me. Thanks.

submitted by Blublood - 8 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 - 6 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.

  • A: Hello there! SA Face Wash is generally suitable for normal to oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types. However, individual reactions can vary, so it’s always best to test a small area first. If you have very dry or sensitive skin, you may find that the salicylic acid in this cleanser is too drying. In this case, you might consider a gentler cleanser like the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. While CeraVe products are generally well-tolerated, it's always a good idea to consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations tailored to your skin type and concerns.

    Okay face wash. I don’t see much of a difference when I’m using it or after. Maybe it’s because it only stays on my skin for like a minute. For SA to work it needs to stay on the skin for a longer period of time. Can’t use it as a mask it is very drying and my skin is already dry. Won’t buy again.

    Hi soukiithehijabi_2135, thank you for reaching out about Renewing SA Cleanser. We are sorry to hear you did not get the results you had expected with this cleanser. We recommend trying our Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser. Those with dry skin can enjoy the benefits of both a cream cleanser that hydrates and foaming formula that provides a refreshing skin feel—without having to choose between the two. Hope you give it a try!

    From the first week of use I noticed cleaner skin, with fewer blackheads and a much more uniform texture. Salicylic acid works deeply in the pores, helping to reduce imperfections without drying or irritating the skin. Its foamy formula is light, rinses easily and leaves a very pleasant feeling of freshness

    The texture is very thick, you need your face and your hands to already be wet for it to move. I would suggest for it as a deep cleaning cleanser. It’s not a gentle cleanser. If you want something more gentle, I would suggest their micellar water, the Hydrating Micellar Water they have, really is great for sensitive skin and it smells very clean and not over powering.

    CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser is one of my go-to options when I want gentle exfoliation without going overboard. I especially tend to gravitate towards it in the summer when I usually have some backne, it does wonders for it. It’s a gel‑like formula that foams into a light lather and rinses off clean—no sticky residue, no harsh microbeads. It’s fragrance-free and feels pretty mild on the skin.
