Review: Smoother skin, fewer clogged pores, and not that tight stripped feeling - I have been using this CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser pretty regularly for a while now, and I really like it. I have combination skin, so I appreciate a cleanser that can help with oil, texture, blackheads, and clogged pores without making my skin feel overly dry or stripped. What I like: • Gentle exfoliating cleanser • Helps my skin feel smoother • Leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight • Seems to help with blackheads • Seems to help with clogged pores • Helps with excess oil without overdoing it • Good for my combination skin • Nice option for skin texture concerns • Important to me as I get older and pay more attention to texture and smoothness • Contains salicylic acid • Also formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides • Fragrance-free • Non-comedogenic • Pump bottle is easy to use • Works well as part of a regular skincare routine • Good for both men and women • Does not feel harsh when I use it consistently and follow with moisturizer Things to be aware of: • This is still an exfoliating cleanser, so I would not overdo it if your skin is very dry or very sensitive • If you are new to salicylic acid, I would start slowly and see how your skin reacts • Very dry or sensitive skin may want to start with occasional use instead of daily use • Moisturizer afterward is important • I think this works best when paired with a good moisturizer • It is fragrance-free, so do not expect a scented face wash • Results with clogged pores, blackheads, and texture take consistent use Overall: This has become a regular cleanser for me because it leaves my skin feeling clean, smoother, and not overly dried out. I have combination skin, and it seems to help with excess oil, clogged pores, and blackheads while still being gentle enough for regular use when I follow with moisturizer. I also like that it includes ingredients like salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides, because I want something that helps with texture but still supports my skin as it ages. For me, this is a solid everyday-style exfoliating cleanser that works well without feeling harsh.
Review: Holy Grail Cleanser - My Skin Has Never Looked Better! - CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser has become my absolute holy grail skincare product! I've been using it for three months now, and the transformation in my skin has been nothing short of miraculous. This cleanser has earned a permanent spot in my daily routine, and I genuinely can't imagine my skincare regimen without it. I've always struggled with rough, bumpy skin texture and occasional breakouts. I'd tried numerous cleansers that were either too harsh and left my skin feeling stripped and tight, or too gentle and didn't effectively address my concerns. CeraVe has struck the perfect balance. The salicylic acid gently exfoliates and unclogs my pores without causing irritation or over-drying, which is exactly what my skin needed. What sets this cleanser apart is the phenomenal ingredient combination. The hyaluronic acid keeps my skin hydrated and plump, the niacinamide has visibly improved my skin tone and reduced redness, and the ceramides strengthen my skin barrier. I can actually see and feel the difference - my skin is smoother, clearer, and has a healthy glow that I never thought was possible for me. The texture of this cleanser is perfect - it's creamy but not heavy, and it foams up nicely without being stripping. I use it morning and night, and my skin feels thoroughly cleansed but never tight or uncomfortable. It removes all traces of dirt, oil, and even light makeup without any harsh scrubbing. My pores look visibly smaller and cleaner, and I've noticed significantly fewer blackheads on my nose and chin. Within the first two weeks, I noticed my skin texture becoming smoother. The rough patches on my forehead and cheeks started disappearing, and my overall complexion looked more refined. By week six, friends and coworkers were asking me what I'd been doing differently because my skin looked so radiant. That's when I knew this product was truly special. I also love that it's fragrance-free and developed with dermatologists. My skin is somewhat sensitive, and I've never experienced any irritation, redness, or adverse reactions. The bottle is a generous size and lasts for months, making it an incredible value for the quality you're getting. This cleanser works beautifully with the rest of my skincare products and has actually made my other products work better because my skin is properly prepped and exfoliated. I'm absolutely in love with CeraVe, and I recommend it to everyone!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What % of Salicylic Acid is in this product?**
A: My dermatologist, from their product information, states it's less than <1%. If using this product, 0.5-1% would affect the skin in the same way. A >2% level is considered a damaging peel, rather than developing a natural slough of dead skin cells that .05-1% will do  This exfoliates gently, and gradually, avoiding skin damage, thus aiding in healing and repair. FYI - Zote bar soap drastically controls demodex mites which is the #1 cause of skin issues. The mites eat but do not 💩, They live to hang out in damaged skin, they die with all their waste in them, Their water becomes bacteria, and can further develope into a fungus infection.

**Q: Does anyone use the SA cleanser for your body? I only see reviews saying people use it for their face.**
A: Yes i do. I have had Lynne disease, chronic Lynne disease, for over 10 years now. I have a bacterial infection that's in my blood that can't be control. Any cut, abrasion, bug bite, or ingrown hair becomes a horrible mess, and can become a deep infection. Prednisone, 5mg twice a WEEK, keeps the information from making things worse. SA products, as well as the liquid wart remover destroy the bacterial infection faster than everything, and i do man e everything, that's out there. Zote bar soap is the other blessing. It kills Demodex mites, and repels blood sucking insects from biting me. It's wonderful for your skin and hair.

**Q: Can this be used daily? Since it says it exofoliates.**
A: I have very very sensitive skin and rosacea and this is my daily cleanser (I don't use it just for exfoliation). I've been using this cleanser 2x daily (AM & PM) for over 3 years. Currently I use it before +thayer's witch hazel, the outset serum, Cerave or Humanrace moisturizing cream, supergoop tinted sunscreen or cerave tinted sunscreen). there's nothing else like it. No break outs (pimples etc), no irritation or inflammation, no dryness. Just calm skin. If you want "glowy" skin you'll want to add a serum and/or moisturizer. If you want an exfoliator that's more like a peel, this isn't the right product. It is the only product in my skincare regime that I will not change or replace. For others with sensitive skin or rosacea, I started out with this 1-2x per week and built up frequency to daily and phased out Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (Cetaphil was great, but for me this was better b/c it exfoliated & cleansed so significantly reduced clogged pores). I find that when I don't use it for more than a week or 2 (like when I forgot it while traveling), my pores around t-zone area are clogged. Doesn't help with rosacea (I have to take dermatologist Rx), but it DOES NOT make it worse which most SA and other exfoliating products do.

**Q: Which would be better for my son's acne - the foaming cleanser or renewing SA cleanser?**
A: The foaming cleanser will remove excess oil and refresh the skin without over-stripping it or leaving it feeling tight and dry that is ideal for normal to oily skin. The SA cleanser is safe to use on the face and body as well as acne-prone and psoriasis-prone skin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We Both Use and Love It — Great Everyday Cleanser
*by H***I on January 5, 2026*

My husband and I both use the CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser, and we absolutely love it. It’s become a staple in our skincare routines because it really works without irritating the skin. The formula feels gentle but effective. The salicylic acid helps exfoliate and keep pores clear, while the hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides all help soothe and hydrate, so our skin doesn’t feel stripped or tight after washing. It’s definitely softer and smoother compared to other exfoliating face washes I’ve tried. We both have different skin types — mine leans combo and his is more normal — and this cleanser works great for both of us. It’s fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, which is a big plus since neither of us likes heavy scents or anything that clogs pores. I appreciate that it’s effective enough to tackle dullness and congestion, yet mild enough for daily use. The 8-ounce size lasts a while too, so it’s good value. Overall, this cleanser hits the sweet spot between gentle and effective, and we’ll definitely keep repurchasing.
