CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream - 340g

Salicylic Acid is a Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that acts as a gentle chemical exfoliant. In this cream, it helps to loosen and shed dead skin cells, smoothing rough skin and reducing the appearance of bumps without harsh physical scrubbing.

Ceramides are lipids (fats) that are naturally found in the skin barrier. They play a vital role in keeping moisture in and irritants out. The 3 essential ceramides (1, 3, and 6-II) in CeraVe products help to restore and maintain the skin's natural protective barrier.

Yes, the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream is formulated to be gentle. It is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and free of physical exfoliants, making it suitable for many individuals with sensitive skin. However, always perform a patch test if you have extreme sensitivities.

For best results, apply liberally as often as needed, especially after bathing or showering, to areas of dry, rough, or bumpy skin, or as directed by your dermatologist.

While primarily designed for dry, rough, bumpy skin on the body, it is non-comedogenic and gentle. If considering use on the face, especially if you have sensitive facial skin, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist.

MVE (MultiVesicular Emulsion) Technology is a patented delivery system that continuously releases moisturizing ingredients over time. This ensures sustained, 24-hour hydration, helping the skin stay soft and smooth throughout the day.

No, the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream is fragrance-free, which reduces the potential for irritation, particularly for those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies.

Keratosis Pilaris is a common, harmless skin condition that causes small, hard bumps on the skin, often on the upper arms, thighs, or buttocks. The Salicylic Acid and Urea in this cream help to exfoliate and smooth these bumps by reducing the build-up of keratin in the hair follicles.

A mild tingling sensation can be normal when first using products with active ingredients like Salicylic Acid and Urea. If irritation is severe, persistent, or accompanied by redness and discomfort, reduce frequency of use (e.g., every other day) or discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Ensure your skin is clean and relatively dry before application. Try applying a thinner layer of cream. Allow a few minutes for the product to fully absorb into the skin.

Consistent daily application is crucial for optimal results. It may take several weeks of regular use to notice significant improvements, especially for conditions like Keratosis Pilaris. Ensure you are applying it liberally as often as needed.

While formulated to be gentle, individual sensitivities can occur. Discontinue use immediately if you experience itching, swelling, or a rash. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
