Q: Can I use this twice a day?
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 agoA: 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.
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 agoA: 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.

submitted byTarget Beauty Consulting - 9 months agoBrand expertA: 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.
