Good Stuff
It’s CeraVe so what can you say….it’s good stuff! A repeat buy, got it on subscription but I always check prices before as it can sometimes be cheaper elsewhere.
Nice produc
This was nice to use but didn’t improve my KP at all. Everyone has different skin though so maybe mine just didn’t take to it. It didn’t make my skin any worse!
Okay
The packaging made the item extremely dusty and quite messy so I had to clean it before using it but that was the only issue. This was also was my first time using this product and I think its alright however if you have sensitive skin like me I probably wouldn’t recommend.
Not sure its good for sensitive ski
Unfortunately this product wasn’t great for me as I found out a while after use it was the reason for my acne breakouts but it could partly be my fault for using this daily. I wouldn’t recommend using this daily since its an exfoliator its very irritating which can lead to more breakouts and never ending cycle because you’re damaging your skin barrier. Probably best for moderate use for those with blemish prone skin.
Amazing face wash. Cleared both of my teenagers skin and anytime I’m breaking out I use this and it clears it up. It is a bit drying but not in the way of clearasil etc.
Good produc
The only reason for the 4 starts is because I have tried this product before and this formula seems more watery. I don’t like it so much but I think it still does the job.
I really like this face wash and it is the second time in buying it.
However, I received it today I used it and a load of brown stuff came out, when I put the lid back on the brown stuff leaked into the white liquid and wasn’t good to anyone.
So I took picture’s of the top of the pump to show what’s happened in the second purchase.
As you can see it doesn’t look pleasant it smelt and I was advised to bin the product. It may be that it had just been sitting around for a long time and the spring inside rusted.
I have followed these instructions to bin it and because I like this product so much I will try and order an other one, hope for the best (fingers crossed).
Amazon was very helpful in helping me with this situation and I’m hoping it was just a one off.
But please don’t be put off by this brand because this product is really good. Its fragrance free and very good for sensitive skin.
his product is genuinely LIFE CHANGING!! My forehead used to have very bad tiny bumps all over and i was soso insecure about it so i decided to do some research and came along this product so i decided to purchase it and when i tell you after two weeks of using i started to see a difference in my skin it cleared up my forehead and i wasnt insecure about my forehead anymore because my forehead was not itchy, red or textured which made me really really happy and i will forever be using this product !!!!!
work really good
i received item and using it since a few days. only issue is bottle arrived not full , only %75 of it was full no idea what happened other %25 ..it seems someone used it and returned it and then amazom sent me this bottle again .. overall its really good , my skin doesnt feel dry and i feel that it is clearing problems areas slowly, i mostly used it after shaving and i dont see shaving rush at all.so far so good. i think i will order it in the future as well.
My staple skincare product! I’ll never use another cleanser, I’ve tried and always come back to this. I even use it as a body cleanser so it’s great if you get back/chest acne too! It’s gentle for sensitive skin, throughly cleans makeup and impurities without drying your skin out or compromising your skin barrier. I rarely get spots anymore and it has the perfect mix of salicylic acid and ceramides – 100/10 recommend to anyone struggling to find a good facial cleanser 🙂
Good for kp
I have started using this in the shower as I suffer from kp on my arms, it’s definitely made a difference my arms and no where near as red as they use to be.
Noticable difference
Simple cleanser, noticed a great improvement in my skin when I used this regularly , great base cleanser and gentle. Will be repurchasing , its my number one go to cleanser now and is affordable.
4.0 out of 5 stars Increase price
Good product really helped my daughter.
Tried to re purchase, checked this morning and the price has gone up massively ridiculous!
This was in good condition 👏
I haven’t used the product yet but I did see some reviews about how it wasn’t full and it looked different to the actual cleanser. However, I think this is the real brang and is in good condition I have also put photos so you can see it is full like other cerave cleansers hope this helped I will edit when I use it to see if it is good. Bye x

5.0 out of 5 stars Custome
Great item always use this, easy to use and skin feels so clean. Great price and delivery
AMAZING
I love this cleanser , I used to have horrible rough and bumpy skin. However ever since I’ve been using this cleaner about 2 weeks my skin became so clear, no more annoying bumps on my face .I definitely recommend !!!
4.0 out of 5 stars Great!
So far I have only been using this product for 2 days but it’s pretty good.
I have been using the CeraVe SA Smoothing Face and Body Cleanser for Dry, Rough, and Bumpy Skin for two weeks now, and I am truly amazed at the results I have seen. I have struggled with acne scars for a long time, and this cleanser has been a game-changer for me.
First of all, I appreciate that this cleanser is specifically formulated for dry, rough, and bumpy skin. My skin tends to be on the drier side, and finding a cleanser that effectively addresses my skin concerns without stripping it of moisture has always been a challenge. However, CeraVe’s cleanser has proved to be the perfect solution.
From the moment I started using this product, I noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my skin. The roughness and bumpiness that I had been dealing with began to smooth out, and my skin started feeling much softer and suppler. I was thrilled to see such quick results.
One of the most remarkable effects of this cleanser has been its ability to fade my acne scars. I had tried various products in the past, including serums and creams, but none seemed to have the same impact as this cleanser. After just two weeks of consistent use, I noticed a visible reduction in the appearance of my acne scars. They were noticeably lighter and less prominent, which was incredibly satisfying.
Another aspect I appreciate about this product is its gentle yet effective formula. It contains salicylic acid (SA), a known ingredient for treating acne and exfoliating the skin. Despite its potency, the cleanser doesn’t cause any irritation or dryness on my skin. In fact, it leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed, and hydrated.
The packaging of the CeraVe SA Smoothing Face and Body Cleanser is also practical and convenient. The pump dispenser makes it easy to control the amount of product I use, preventing wastage. Additionally, the bottle is sturdy and travel-friendly, allowing me to take it with me wherever I go.
Overall, I am highly impressed with the CeraVe SA Smoothing Face and Body Cleanser for Dry, Rough, and Bumpy Skin. It has been a game-changer in my skincare routine. The improvement in my skin’s texture, the reduction of acne scars, and the overall effectiveness of the product have exceeded my expectations. If you’re struggling with dry, rough, or bumpy skin and want to see visible results, I highly recommend giving this cleanser a try. It has truly made a difference in my skin’s appearance and has become a staple in my skincare regimen.
5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT OMG
I honestly love it so much! It cleans my face and makes it feel so smooth 5 stars f
Best facewash
I have used a number of face wash. My old fav was body shop tea tree facewash but realised its not good for dry cold uk weather. Tried soap and glory which was average but didnt do wonder to my skin. Used cerave normal skin facewash but hated it and was wondering why is it so hyped! My skin is normal to combination . Then decided to try this one and now this is my fav. Ordering 2nd bottle and i dont think i will ever switch to something else
5.0 out of 5 stars Cleanses really well
Really cleanses the pores on the face after a long day of working, sweating and being exposed to the elements.
Leaves skin so smooth!
This is my favourite cleanser! I use it daily and it keeps my skin so smooth and clear. I use it for both my face and body and it’s very light and gentle on my skin. Highly recommended!
Skin smoother than eve
The real deal, was sceptical from other sellers as reviews had said was copies however this is the proper stuff, clear skin since using this combined with hydrating foaming cleanse
Affordable cleanser with simple ingredients
This is my go to cleanser. Very good for sensitive dry skin. My skin feels really good immediately after and also the next morning. The price is really good. I wish they had a travel size so i can take it with me when travelling.
Best face wash I've used to combat skin issues
At 33 I’ve finally found a skin care routine that keeps my face blemish and spot free. I use this and the freederm moisturiser and my clean has never been clearer – coming from an acne teenager who used to be on roaccutane. It’s important you moisturise as this does make you face feel tight/dry when used on a daily basis but mixed with freederm moisturiser like I said, I’ve finally got perfect skin!
Basic body showe
Leaving skin soft and hydrated, didn’t notice any miracle change comparing to basic market shower gels which sometimes are very good, I have mild keratosis and for me did not improve anything in combination with SA Cerave smoothing cream. Used for 3 weeks regularly, possibly better for other conditions.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good cleanse
Great for cleansing your skin.I use this with a silicone scrub brush and follow up with the cerave skin routine.
Not For Me
I have pretty bad acne and I wouldn’t say that this doesn’t work for someone else who also has bad acne it just doesn’t work for me But I would say that it definitely worked on my back acne as it did a great Job clearing my back acne.
Great for KP
My partner has KP and I have blemish prone skin and we both use this. It works amazingly well for both of us, we have it on S&S now. This combines with the SA Cerave moisturiser has made a huge difference to my face.
Great cleanse
Really lovely cleanser, no scent and lathers up nicely. Very reasonably priced. Have since bought a second one for my hubby and his skin is great with it too, even though his is sensitive.
So gentle
I was worried that this would be too harsh on my skin but it’s been a game changer. I started using it last year just on my face and it made it so much smoother and really helped with oiliness. And a few weeks ago I started using it as my body wash as well.totally changed my skin. It’s so smooth and soft. No bumps or irritation.
Acne
I have struggled with acne for a very long time and no cleanser has ever suited my skin apart from this one! It leaves my skin looking glowy and more healthy and has reduced a lot of my acne! Highly recommend for acne prone ski
Skin so smooth I could die
PROS
-Gave me smooth clear skin
-Paired with glycolic acid toner and really sorted my skin out
CONS
-Can be a little drying so make sure to moisturise always after
– Bit pricy for what it is
Out of all of the products I’ve tried, this one has been the best at clearing up my skin. I use it on my entire body and I’ve never looked smoother, I think it may have gotten rid of acne scars as well! I love that it has no fragrance and that it moisturises and exfoliates at the same time. I’ve been using it for months and it only took a couple of weeks before my skin cleared up. I don’t intend on using anything else for the rest of my life 🙂
After I wash my face with this, my skin feels squeaky clean but COMFORTABLE. Gone are the days I would practically run to put my moisturiser on because my skin felt so tight after washing.
Turns into a really nice foam which goes a long way.
Will be purchasing again.
I can’t count the number of products I have had to give to friends on account of my sensitive skin. So to find a product that works and is none irritating is always a good day. This product is just that, light and fresh on the face and removes makeup and grime beautifully. Love it so much I have it on repeat order.
I have waited 9 weeks in order to give my honest and unbiased review.
After reading that this product contained salicylic acid, I thought that this would be the holy grail for my keratosis pilaris… street name, strawberry skin.
It came on the 4th of March and I originally used it everyday for about 3 weeks with a loofah sponge during my daily showers. I now use it twice a week. The last picture was before I started using it.
As time went by, I noticed that I started to get a lightened complexion on my legs but didn’t really mind as the dots were fading (2nd pic 23/04/2021). The scar on my left leg also started to fade.
With continued use, I did notice that the appearance of my skin was rather dry. This was extremely weird for me as I am OBSESSED with using lotion. On average, I use two bottles of 200ml of lotion per month. Nonetheless, I still continued to use it as I desperately want clear legs. Only this time, I’ve mixed olive oil with the lotion to really moisturize it to combat the excessive dryness.
The first picture is what my legs look like after 9 weeks. I must say I do see a difference but I feel that the massive change was brought about with an exfoliating glove which I’ve now incorporated into my shower routine twice a week.
I also no longer shave my legs. I instead use hair removal cream (NAIR; a godsend actually)
Verdict: I do see a difference and as a woman of colour I would recommend this to those within that bracket as finding products that will work for us isn’t easy without having horrible side effects (STAY AWAY FROM DIFFERIN). I’ll just say use at your own risk and discretion.
