CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser

Reveal smoother, healthier-looking skin with CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser, a gentle daily foaming cleanser designed for rough, bumpy, and dry skin.

Suitable for both the face and body, it helps improve skin texture while leaving skin feeling clean, soft, and hydrated. 

The formula is enriched with three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to maintain the skin barrier, replenish moisture, and soothe the skin. It is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and allergy-tested, making it ideal for daily use on rough or keratosis pilaris-prone skin.
