Fake Product or Formula Change
I bought this product and either they changed their formulation or I received a fake product. The original one has light blue font in the main areas, and the one i received it is all one colour. The texture is also different from the original, and it foams a lot more.

Go to acne cleanser
Whenever I have an acne flareup, this is my go to product for cleansing. I’m a big fan of the SA line from cerave . This cleanser is a little drying compared to their other options but it’s highly effective.

Response from Staples :
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Renewing SA Cleanser. We are so glad to hear that it has become your go-to solution for managing acne flare-ups. You are correct that because this formula contains Salicylic Acid to effectively exfoliate and smooth the skin, it can feel a bit more active or drying than our more creamy cleansers. To help balance that effectiveness, our formula is enriched with three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to help maintain the skin's natural barrier while it works. To help minimize any dryness, we recommend following up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer, such as our CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable. Thank you for sharing your experience with our community!

It doesn’t irritate your skin
It’s developed with dermatologists. It feels like fresh and helps smooth out texture and little bumps. It’s a gently exfoliates with salicylic acid that keep a glowy texture in your skin. Also, I enjoy that this product is fragrance- free and it doesn’t irritate my skin.

That any one can used it.
Omgg this product has helped me with my acne , and the best thing is not expensive products that you can get anywhere. And the application process is the best part you don’t feel anything and it doesn’t irritate your beautiful face . Last of my favorite about this wash face is that absorption is very fast .

MIRACLE CLEANSER! Works like magic!
MAGIC!!! Whatever is in this cleanser works like a charm. I’ve had pretty normal to combination skin most of my life, but a couple of months ago I developed a red, dry rash under my nose/upper lip that lasted for weeks and would not go away.
I spent money trying multiple products that didn’t work, and I was honestly starting to lose hope. Then I tried the CeraVe Renew...

General Cleanser
This cleanser works well in terms of removing dirt and makeup, but unfortunately it seems this brand dries out my face a bit. I do have perioral dermatitis though, so a perfect cleanser is a hard find for me.

My go-to cleanser
I’ve been using this CeraVe cleanser for years, it’s truly my go-to. It keeps my acne under control without stripping my skin dry. I’ve experimented with other cleansers, but always find myself coming back to this one.

Very good!
This is one of the best cleansers I’ve used, it’s very effective, it doesn’t dry out your skin. It lathers well and the size is great for the price. It did spill a little so I think it could be packaged a bit better. Other than that, it’s great.

I used this cleanser daily for about 2 months. I originally purchased it to help calm my hormonal acne, which had been flaring up more than usual.

Slightly drying
This is a decent cleanser for the price. the ingredients are pretty good and it does leave my face feeling clean. I will say it is a little drying so make sure you moisturize after. Cerave products have always worked well with my skin and help keep it clear.

One-Line Summary: An effective, fragrance-free exf
Overall, my experience with this cleanser has been excellent due to its high level of effectiveness in smoothing out my skin without being harsh. The product has a gel form that is clear and offers a pleasant experience due to its lather. The product also has a very neutral smell, which is important to me, and makes me feel like my face has been deeply cleaned.

Gentle cleanser and exfoliation by ceraVe
It’s exactly as the bottle says…this is a gentle cleanser that’s non-comedogenic non-drying (honestly doesn’t dry my face) and non-irritating. It’s inexpensive. It has salicylic acid so it also helps prevent acne by exfoliating and no fragrance which I prefer so it’s less chemicals added

Response from Staples :
Hello lizzr8_5227! It is wonderful to hear that the Renewing SA Cleanser has lived up to its reputation for you, providing a gentle yet effective cleanse that keeps your skin feeling soft and clear without any dryness or irritation. This formula is specifically developed with three essential ceramides and salicylic acid to provide a dual-action approach—gently exfoliating and refining the skin's texture while ensuring your natural protective barrier is replenished and maintained. By using a non-comedogenic and fragrance-free gel, we ensure the skin remains calm and perfectly balanced for all your daily activities. A helpful tip to further enhance the smoothing benefits you've noticed is to massage the cleanser into your skin for at least sixty seconds before rinsing with lukewarm water, which allows the salicylic acid enough time to effectively clear your pores and soften any rough areas. This ensures your complexion remains fresh, healthy, and beautifully refined every single day.
