As a guy in my 30s, I figured it was time to stop washing my face with whatever body wash was lying around and upgrade to something legit. Enter this CeraVe SA Cleanser, which somehow made me care about skincare without overwhelming me with 47-step routines. This cleanser is a game-changer. It’s gentle but effective—I can feel it working without my face feeling like I just sandpapered it. The salicylic acid handles the occasional breakout like a pro, while the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated. No tightness, no dryness, just clean and smooth. What I really love is that it’s fragrance-free and non-irritating. My skin can be weirdly picky, but this cleanser keeps it happy and balanced. And at 16 ounces, the bottle is massive, so I don’t feel like I’m burning through it every month. If you’re looking for something simple that actually works, this is it. No frills, no over-the-top promises, just solid skincare that does what it says. My face and my confidence thank me every day.

decided to try the CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser after my previous CeraVe bottles arrived with broken pumps, and I’m so glad I did! This cleanser is gentle yet effective, leaving my skin feeling thoroughly clean without any irritation. The combination of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides works wonders for my skin, helping to keep it hydrated and smooth while gently exfoliating. I’ve noticed an improvement in my skin’s texture and clarity since using it. Highly recommend this product—definitely a keeper in my skincare routine!

I've been using this product for a long time. Recently I switched to a different cleanser of the same brand due to running out, and I could see the effects of what the SA cleanser did for me in less than a week! My skin is currently so riddled with acne and black heads. The only thing that I switched was using a new cleanser, so I threw that new bottle out and reordered this! I've always bought it in stores but I needed to get this pronto! I love the design, it fits in well anywhere since it's a rectangular bottle, and it has a pump to dispense. It comes out like almost like shampoo, and as you're washing it doesn't really foam, it just gets sudsy. The value size bottle lasts forever even with daily use between my Fiancé and I, using one pump, so it is most definitely a budget friendly cleanser. The bottle says non-drying, but it does a little bit with daily use so I always pair it with a moisturizer since I don't have oily skin. It's Salicylic Acid the helps to exfoliate the skin to remove buildup of oil and dirt to make your skin soft and clear. Plus it's made in USA!!

The CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser has become a cornerstone in my skincare routine, especially for managing breakouts and improving skin texture. Formulated with salicylic acid, it deeply cleanses and exfoliates without stripping the skin of its natural moisture, thanks to the inclusion of essential ceramides. Upon first use, I noticed that it lathers nicely and rinses clean, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and not overly dry. The non-comedogenic formula means it doesn't clog pores, which is crucial for those prone to acne like myself. What sets this cleanser apart is how it manages to soothe the skin while also providing a thorough cleanse, aided by niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to calm and hydrate. Over a few weeks of consistent use, my skin appeared less congested and noticeably smoother. Redness and blemishes have diminished, and my complexion looks healthier overall. It's also fragrance-free, which is a huge plus for sensitive skin types.

I did a lot of Dr. googling to figure out what would be the most direct (and affordable) route to help with my hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and terrible skin texture. The answer was always salicylic acid. I’ve done that loads of times in the past—for decades— and it makes my skin absolutely freak out. It would feel sensitive to the touch, like a sun burn, and peel NON. STOP. Even with twice a week usage, SAcid makes my skin soo peeely I cannot use foundation or powder— and any less than twice a week is useless for SAcid. Anyone who has terrible acne scarring understands that’s simply not OK. I need my full coverage. Thxbye. One awesome YouTuber suggested that I try this product instead of leave-on topicals. 🤯 This way I’m still getting the benefits using it everyday, even twice a day, however I’m not a flake monster because it’s not being left on my skin. 🤯 bruh. So simple. Why didn’t I think of this???????? This is just a really great cleanser. Im legit shocked every damn time I use it. The GA also leaves your skin feeling like you've had a moisturizing mask on for an hour!?! After one wash??!? Overall it’s a freaking GREAT product. It’s a lot of product. It’s super affordable. I’m not even an inch down and I use it twice a day for the past three weeks. I also wash my face twice at night so Im using more product than you’d normally use (full coverage makeup) I think I’ve finally found my forever face wash. The other one I enjoy using if I don’t have make up on is the “fresh“ soy face cleanser. But good lordt it’s expensive and doesn’t remove makeup thoroughly. If they made THIS stuff smell like THAT stuff? I’d but a vat. Two vats. To go. A surprising 10/10. If you’re wondering if you should take a gamble or not, look at the price and read the reviews. Then purchase your amazon cart you’ve sat on for a week or two. Yolo. Buy the cute jars for your spices. Get the sexy pumps. And above all else, BUY THIS FACE WASH. It’s a brand name that every GD dermatologist has suggested to me. And Ive seen a lot of them. I’m just gonna have to get over the fact that my face doesn’t smell like fresh produce But TLDR: my SKIN. IS IMPROVING. For UNDER TEN DOLLARS. Priceless.

I love the texture the mild exfoliation, which is what you are suppose to use mild to protect skin all makeup came off and my fa and neck feel great i keep touching it , it feels so good! Thank you!

Muy buen producto, sirve mucho a la piel maltratada.

Yo tenía muchos puntos negros que me empezaron a salir hasta en los cachetes, llevo aproximadamente 2 semanas usándolo y veo una mejora, mi piel ya no tiene puntos negros y mi cara está lisita!

As soon as the weather got warmer my face started breaking out like crazy. More than usual. As soon as I started using this cleanser in combination with a sunscreen moisturizer (cetaphil oil control), cerave retinol serum, I saw results within days. Mind you I haven't used a cleanser or any products on a regular basis for years, so it was probably just newbie gains. But so far so good. I also use cerave acne foaming cleanser behind my ears where I get painful cystic acne and that appears to be working too. I just picked up cerave PM moisturizer and am adding that to my routine. This SA cleanser is good for my mild acne on my face. If you have a more sever case I would use the cerave acne foaming cleanser 4% benzoyl peroxide. But make sure to moisturize cuz it will dry you out.

I love ❤️

A gift!
