Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between CeraVe SA Smoothing and Renewing Cleanser?
Both products utilize the same core technology and salicylic acid concentration to exfoliate and smooth the skin. The name Renewing SA Cleanser is used for the United States market, while SA Smoothing Cleanser is the name used for the European market. They serve the same purpose for rough and bumpy skin.

2. Can I use this cleanser on my face and body?
Yes, the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser is specifically formulated for use on both the face and the body. It is highly effective for smoothing textured areas on the arms and legs while remaining gentle enough for facial use.

3. Is this cleanser suitable for acne-prone skin?
