CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser

CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser

CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser is a gentle, gel-to-foam face and body wash infused with 2% salicylic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, ideal for tackling dry, rough, or bumpy skin textures like keratosis pilaris. This dermatologist-developed, fragrance-free formula from the 236ml pump bottle (as shown in your photo) cleanses without stripping moisture, making it a Nairobi favorite for sensitive skin routines.​

How to Use CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser 

Wet skin with lukewarm water, dispense a coin-sized amount, and massage gently in circular motions for 30-60 seconds on face, body, elbows, or knees. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry; follow with a moisturizer like Eucerin Urea Lotion. Use 1-2 times daily or 2-3 times weekly for sensitive skin to avoid over-exfoliation.

Benefits of CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser

Gentle Exfoliation: Salicylic acid dissolves dead skin cells and unclogs pores, smoothing rough patches without irritation.

Barrier Restoration: Three essential ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) rebuild the skin's protective layer for long-lasting hydration.

Deep Hydration: Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, while niacinamide calms redness and strengthens skin.

Versatile & Non-Comedogenic: Fragrance-free, suitable for acne-prone, dry, or bumpy skin on face and body—no pore-clogging.
