CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser
Non-stripping exfoliating gel cleanser combining low-dose Salicylic Acid and Gluconolactone (PHA) with Niacinamide and 3 essential ceramides. Clears follicular sebum plugs and smooths rough, bumpy texture without collapsing the epidermal acid mantle.
Contains concentration-dependent ingredients (Salicylic Acid (BHA) (WATCH)). Rinse-off formulations are often cleared by OB-GYNs, while leave-ons should be verified.
Contains zero lipid esters or fatty acid chains that feed Malassezia yeast.
Texture: Gentle non-abrasive clear foaming gel with mild micro-exfoliation. Apply strictly in order of thinnest water to thickest cream.
