CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser 237ml — Salicylic Acid Face Wash for Skin Renewal
The CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser is a dermatologist-developed facial cleanser that does more than just clean: its 0.5% salicylic acid (BHA) concentration gently exfoliates the skin surface at every wash, removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and progressively refining skin texture. Combined with CeraVe’s signature ceramide and hyaluronic acid complex, it cleanses and renews without stripping or disrupting the skin barrier — a balance most exfoliating cleansers fail to achieve.
Renewing SA — Not the Smoothing SA
CeraVe makes two SA cleansers and they are not interchangeable. The Renewing SA Cleanser is a facial cleanser for normal-to-oily facial skin — designed for daily skin renewal, radiance, and pore clarity. The SA Smoothing Cleanser (a separate product) is formulated at a higher concentration for bumpy/keratosis pilaris body skin. This is the face version — the everyday gentle renewer. Find it among our CeraVe cleansers in Pakistan.
Triple Active System
- Salicylic Acid (0.5% BHA): Oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid that penetrates into pores, dissolves sebum plugs, and exfoliates dead skin from the surface and within pores — improving radiance and pore appearance with daily use
- 3 Essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): Restore and maintain the skin’s protective lipid barrier, preventing moisture loss and sensitivity caused by exfoliation
- Hyaluronic Acid: Retains moisture at the skin surface so the cleansing and exfoliating steps don’t dehydrate the skin
- Niacinamide: Calms post-exfoliation redness, regulates sebum, and supports barrier recovery
Why Salicylic Acid in a Cleanser?
While SA serums and toners have a longer contact time, a well-formulated SA cleanser provides a consistent, low-level exfoliation at every wash without the risk of over-exfoliation from multiple active products. For those with salicylic acid-sensitive skin or those new to chemical exfoliation, a daily SA cleanser is the safest, most controllable entry point. Explore the full BHA collection.

How To Use
1. Wet face and hands with lukewarm water.
2. Apply a small amount of Renewing SA Cleanser to palms and work into a lather.
3. Gently massage onto face in circular motions — avoid the eye area.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
5. Pat dry with a clean towel — do not rub.
6. Follow with toner, serum, moisturiser, and SPF as part of your routine.
7. Use once or twice daily — morning and/or evening.
Tips:
- For new users: start with once daily (evening) to allow skin to adjust to BHA.
- Always follow morning cleansing with SPF — salicylic acid increases mild photosensitivity.
- Do not combine with other strong BHA or AHA products in the same routine step without patch testing.
FAQs
What is the difference between CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser and SA Smoothing Cleanser?
The Renewing SA Cleanser is formulated for the face — gentle daily exfoliation, skin renewal, and pore clarity for normal-to-oily facial skin. The SA Smoothing Cleanser is formulated at a higher SA concentration for body use, targeting keratosis pilaris (bumpy skin) and rough patches on legs and arms. They are different products for different body areas.
Can I use this if I have acne?
Yes. Salicylic acid is a proven BHA for acne-prone skin — it unclogs pores and reduces blackheads and whiteheads. The ceramide complex prevents the barrier damage that can worsen acne with harsh cleansers.
Is 0.5% salicylic acid strong enough to make a difference?
Yes for a leave-on cleanser used daily. The cumulative daily contact over weeks delivers consistent gentle exfoliation. Higher SA concentrations in a rinse-off cleanser would be harsher with diminishing marginal benefit.
Do I still need a separate toner or exfoliant?
For most normal-to-oily skin types, this cleanser provides sufficient BHA exfoliation. Adding a separate BHA toner may be appropriate for oilier skin with persistent congestion but introduce gradually.
How long does 237ml last?
Used once daily, 237ml typically lasts 3–4 months. Used twice daily, approximately 6–8 weeks.
