I LOVE the SA renewing cream. It's phenomenal. Even though it's 3% SA, I can still put it on nightly with zero irritation. Super soft skin, no bumps, no acne and really has smoothed out fine lines. It also has niacinamide (unlike the lotion). Appearance of my pores have totally shrunk and the blackheads on my nose are finally almost invisible. Skin needs change throughout life (I'm 42), and I have been so thankful for CeraVe the past few years.

Am experiencing lots of breakouts at the moment, don't know if it's the "60 second cleanse" routine I have adopted or the massive change in my diet for health reasons. Who knew that eating more fruit and vegetables could cause zits!

[@hilarylock3285]

@@ginacolvin3185 Hi. Tx 4 responding! I think its the body's way of getting rid of toxins, now that u've changed ure eating habits. Have u also increased ure water intake? That should also help with flushing out the toxins as well. Ive noticed too that i always experience a breakout along my jawline and neck area about 2 days afta having a good laser facial. Thats normal since the laser is designed to bring the gunk to the surface of my skin. I had very oily skin and acne as a teenager. My skin is normal now but i use anti-aging skincare lines. Cerave has bcome so popular on UTube that i really want to try the range - both the SA range for breakouts and also the foaming cleanser for when i dont have breakouts. I don't want to chance drying out my skin too much. I want to try the series of Vitamin serums too, but as i say, here in South Africa we don't have a large range to choose from. So online it will have to be, with massive delivery costs!!! So will try the 2 SA products first, and if im happy with them, i will consider purchasing the serums and facial creams online. Regards from sunny South Africa 🌞 Still in lockdown, but on Level 2 at least....

Started using these two and the Foaming cleanser and Hydrating cleanser, Cerave is the best. My dry flaky skin transformed in three days. The first day was great, the second day my skin purged and then third day all clear and baby smooth x If anyone uses it and initially breaks out , dont worry its bringing everything to the surface and then it clears up.

[@AdamRobertLamb]

[@Stephywyatt]

Love that result! I just purchased every cleanser above, do you mix using the cleansers everyday? So one day SA the next hydrating and then foaming? 🥰

[@educatingmelanie4411]

Stephywyatt yes I use them depending on what my skin needs - I like to use SA if I need a deep clean and when I’ve work makeup or during my period / usually use hydrating in the mornings or on days I’m using a mask or treatment / foaming as my regular cleanser

[@ZacMalone]

The SA cleanser is an oily acne skin dream, but I still find it to be a little drying but never sensitizing

[@ayxmi.x1428]

I really want to try this on my face because I’ve been noticing when I wake up in the morning my skin is quite dry and my mum always loves to point it out lmao! 😭 plus it has salicylic acid which I think would be great for my skin since I do suffer from breakouts which are improving due to me actually having a skincare routine and not just washing my face with water (I know, you probably cringed) 💀 I am also a teenager so breakouts are common for me.

[@AdamRobertLamb]

Go for it!!! ☺️

[@somnolentverve2183]

Hey there, I know I'm imposing for giving you tips, but if you are to use this cleanser, it's best to use it at night. I have very oily and acne prone skin, I use it nightly, and I don't cleanse at all some days in the morning. If your skin is dry, and feels okay when you wake up (as in not greasy), you can just splash your face with water, and use your moisturizer while your skin is still damp (in order to prevent trans-epidermal water loss). I also really recommend having two cleansers. I have this Cerave cleanser, and a hydrating hyaluronic acid cleanser. I alternate between the two depending on how my skin feels (like I use the hydrating one on some nights when it feels dry, or in the morning when it feels oily). I think using a salicylic acid cleanser twice a day is too much, and would in fact dry out your skin. I also really recommend you to check DR. Dray's channel, she is a dermatologist here on youtube who makes really helpful and educational videos, and often recommends affordable products (she actually really doesn't like overpriced stuff).

[@ayxmi.x1428]

Somnolent verve hey!! Thank you so much for your advice, I only just saw your comment so my apologies for the late reply. I recently changed my routine, I bought two facial cleansers (which is what you recommended in the paragraph you wrote me so I’m happy I made that choice). One of them is the CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser which is what I use in the morning and the other cleanser is the CeraVe foaming cleanser which is what I use at night and I love it! My skin looks and feels a lot better however I still do have breakouts but I know I have to give the products time to work plus, I’ve only been using the products for 3 days so I can’t expect a drastic change haha! I’m planning on trying the SA cleanser by CeraVe as well to see if it helps to improve my breakouts so thank you for giving me some information on that product because if I do try it I won’t use it regularly like you said since I do have dry to oily skin! I recently bought SA rough and bumpy cream and it broke me out when I used it on my face for about a week and unfortunately it was very drying and not moisturising at all however, I do use it on my lower back since I have keatrosis pilaris ( or however you spell it) and it’s helped. I do also watch Dr Drays channel as well as Hyram, James Welsh, Cassandra Banks and a few others! Thank you once again for your comment, it was very helpful :)

Today I learned that CeraVE is made out of two words LOL this video is awesome. Thank you for this! Btw, any idea how much Niacinamide is in the Smoothing Cream?

Absolutely it should help. You have a really great formula in both the cerave salicylic acid products that target all your skin concerns. Maybe put in an oil in your evening routine like rosehip and maybe another step in your day routine like vitamin c or Niacinamide - whatever your skin is comfortable with!

According to Dr. Dray, the SA cream shouldn’t be applied to the face since it contains ammonium lactate. A google search also confirmed this. Hmmm 🤔 Now I’m confused because I was definitely considering getting this and using it on my face. She seemed VERY insistent when she made this statement too. She was like “no way would I put this on my face”. Just wanted to share what I heard

[@AdamRobertLamb]

Hey! Yes I understand your frustration but when this launched here in the UK, the CeraVe website and also online retailers labelled the directions as can be used on face and body. So with that, It’s totally up to you. I’m not saying Dr Dray is wrong but it’s difficult to fully know when the manufacturer is stating otherwise. It is very very thick so if you aren’t dry skin then small amounts and only at night would be my suggestion xx

Since both products contain Salicylic acid at low concentrations (0,5%) would it be necessary to exofoliate with products targeted towards strictly exfoliation, or is the 0,5% at everyday use enough

[@AdamRobertLamb]

I use these two as well as Paula’s Choice BHA or an AHA product. I vary it but I have no irritation come from layering up the acids as long as I’m not too potent with it

[@parism5212]

You said you use these two products every evening. What do you recommend to use for the morning as far as cleanser and moisturizer?? Any good suggestion for combination skin with large pores on the nose

[@AdamRobertLamb]

Hey yes I do! I have the same skin type as you and I go in with a cleanser that isn’t too harsh so like a foam or milky texture which will add hydration and moisture into the skin but won’t overly strip. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm etc I’m currently using Glossier Milk Jelly Cleanser x

[@cyliefields1620]

I LOVE the SA lotion but want to try the cream. My skin literally never breaks out anymore! 😄

I have oily skin , sensitive skin, acne prone and eczema with bumpy skin. What could I use for this

[@susannalovisolo507]

I am following because our skin it 's similar

[@zain4494]

Susanna Lovisolo same

[@katherinenin713]

I would use the SA cleanser because it's gentle and removes excess oil and should help with the bumpy skin. I would use their regular moisturizing *lotion* (the cream formula tends to break out those that are acne-prone) because it's super hydrating and light. The lotion is super good for those with eczema, too!

[@grosserpanda2609]

Everytime I use the cream it makes my face red and it slightly burns. Are these normal symptoms? I was really looking forward to introducing salicylic acid into my skincare routine, but I'm not sure if this is the right product for me.

[@ahhhhhhhh9783]

WOAH IF SOMETHING BURNS U SHOULD NEVERRRR PUT IT ON UR FACE!! Unless it’s apart of the process. I j got the cerve renewing sa cream. First time i tried it and i did not feel any burn ir see any redness

[@grosserpanda2609]

@@ahhhhhhhh9783 thank you for your reply I saw someone say you should mix it with a gentle moisturizer if you've never used acids before which is the case with me. I tried that and the burning and redness went away. I'm still not sure if it's working for me, but I'll use it for a week and see if I'll continue.

[@ahhhhhhhh9783]

Grosser Panda I actually just put it on, what I realized is that i felt a little burning too but it went away within a few mins.

[@frozenbreeze]

I just got it a few days ago and I experienced the same! 😥😥 My skin is very sensitive and I suffer from keratosis pilaris, so I decided to try it out. As soon as I put it on my face it feels like I poured alcohol on it.

Thankyou so much for sharing your opinion on the SA cream. Can I use it for my face? And is it for every single day? I am thinking of using it at night (but not when I apply retinol). Thankyou again.

[@mai92225]

Hi i have oily combo, have irritated acne and whiteheads maybe malassezia on the circle of my face idk, and kinda sensitive, but would u recommend me using a cleansing balm and cerave pm moisturiser and suncream in the morning and this cerave routine at night? btw your vids r lifesavers😫😌

[@jemm2196]

Amazing explanation! Can i use the SA cream every night? I have normal skin btw.

[@juliaveatrice]

Hi this is my skin care routine that I’m planning to do, can you check them out? Ill update you guysss. Morning: - Cerave SA smoothing cleanser - The ordinary niacinimide serum - Cerave Daily moisturizing lotion - Sunblock with spf 50 Night: - Cerave SA smoothing cleanser - The Ordinary Glycolic toner - The Ordinary Lactic Acid - The Ordinary Niacinimide - Cerave SA Rough and Bumpy Skin lotion

[@nct4867]

I think using the cleanser 2 times a day + the glyconic toner and lactic acid will be TOO much 😳 i would recommend using the hydrating cleanser in the morning (or no cleanser) and then in the evening the sa cleanser BUT you should‘t use lactic acid and then niacinamide.. you should only use it with the hyaloronic acid or only the lactic acid by itself.

[@juliaveatrice]

N C T , okay! Ill remove lactic acid on my skin care, would it be ok

[@LesterGomes]

Very informative video! Can both of these products be used daily day and night? As I have dry acne-prone skin with acne scars and blemishes.

[@tasiabethea201]

i have the acne cleanser but i just got it . just wondering which one would you recommend for better results ? the acne cleanser or the sa cleanser ?

[@kay19977]

I used the cleanser and by the end of the day a pimple popped up that had not been there at all. I’m hoping it’s purging 😬

[@AdamRobertLamb]

Hopefully your skin gets better with continued use of it. Let me know how it goes ☺️

[@Queenyly]

Is there a difference between the Smoothing and the Renewing Cleanser?

[@deborahmateta8903]

They’re the same both have saylcic acid

[@bouchraakacem450]

In Europe it’s the smoothing cleanser and US is the renewing but there are the same

[@Torihappyness]

I have oily skin, acne prone,yet after two days if using this product,my eyes were swollen, my skin was irritated and rough to tge touch. I'd never use it again.

[@saarax4299]

can both of these products be used in the morning and night?? Love your videos btw x

[@user-pr5jy5bj7y]

I just wanted to ask if its normal for the SA smoothing cream to sting my face

[@giadalucia8287]

hmm.. maybe you aren’t used to salicylic acid. if it burns, that’s not good and don’t use it. but if it stings maybe it’s because you’re skin doesn’t like salicylic acid or you’re not used to it.

[@flxwercxrpse1871]

if you have another cleanser that doesn't have SA maybe mix it with that so put a little bit and see how it works. It's not suppose to sting.

[@fabiodalessandro961]

Hey, a stinging effect directly after applying an AHA/BHA product (SA) is normal. If the stinging doesn't disappear after 5 minutes, you should try to get your face used to the acid by mixing the moisturizer with another product. You could use an oil or Squalan. :)

[@sairarahim9052]

Hi Adam thank you for all the amazing videos. I'm using 2% bha toner and niacinamide in the mornings with the cera ve moisturizer and sunscreen. Can I use the sa moisturizer in the same routine instead of the regular cera ve moisturizer please guide me .thanks 😊

[@michikwan]

I just bought the lotion today! Hoping results soon~

[@lovelyb5493]

Notice any good results?

[@kayleewille]

I really wanted to try this combo because I thought it would be good for my combination skin but also for my eczema on my hands because of the urea and hyaluronic acid and all the other great ingredients. Unfortunately the cleanser is sold out everywhere :(( I kinda like the cream but I feel like I'd love it more in combination with the cleanser. I also noticed the cream has tiny white specs in it and when you use it, you can still see them on the skin. Do you have any idea what these are? Would they have purpose? Great video!! xxx

[@ximenarodriguez4100]

I’ve been trying the cream for a month now on my arms with keratosis pilaris and although I feel it did soften a lot, my skin has started to peel, like dead skin cells coming out, has anyone experienced this by any chance?

[@frieda1471]

hey :) SA is an exfoliant so the dead skin cells should rise and be removed

[@wahid1228]

I use creave and inkey list products. Perfect combination. Did wonders for my oily skin

[@hi-ec6lr]

Quick question: I get a few breakouts each month on my skin and I have a problem with a bit of fungal acne on my forehead, would you recommend using the cream or the face wash? And also is there a certain percent of SA in the cleanser and cream?

[@AdamRobertLamb]

Fungal acne is a tricky one to get on top of because it’s certain ingredients and treatments that can get rid of it. I’d suggest speaking to a doctor or dermatologist before a drug store cleanser on the area if you haven’t done already! ☺️

[@margotrobbie8582]

Is the cream made for face???? Thought it was for body

[@amybeattie8074]

my skin is slightly oily and not really dry, i am prone to breakouts often and also have loads of blackheads and blocked pores, i already use the ordinary’s niacinamide, would you recommend either of these ceraVE products or would something else be better?

[@lucenandyadventures]

Hey! Love your channel. I have just bought the SA Smoothing Cream to try help the red bumps on my legs. How does it exfoliate? Should I put it on wet skin/damp skin or dry skin? And then do I wash it off or scrub it off? I’m really stuck 😂🙈 thankyou!! Lucy xx

[@Hurricanetongue]

Lucy J Hi how did it work for you? Did you put it on damp skin?

[@aliciawroblewska1904]

Hiya! Great review, my skin is sensitive however I have bumpy, textured skin. I’m concerned about the SA, do you reckon I should use it just once a day rather than twice?

[@AdamRobertLamb]

alicia wroblewska Yeah absolutely. Try and get a feel for how your skin reacts to the products. Generally Salicylic Acid is gentle enough for any skin type but each skin is different. I only use the cleanser and cream in the evening and this works perfectly for me. Doesn’t dry my skin out and I can have more of a free reign with other products for my other skin concerns :) hope this helps! Let me know how you get on with the products!

[@Amy-kd6db]

I have normal skin with the odd breakouts on my Tzone (it’s not too rough or bumpy). Would you recommend this cleanser with SA or just the hydrating cleanser?

[@AdamRobertLamb]

Amy Fletcher Hey! That is the same as my skin. Either my forehead or my mouth get the full force of breakouts. I’ve used the hydrating cleanser and I find this to be perfect for the colder months as it really gives you that added hydration kick your skin needs. You said your skin is normal so it should be totally fine with the foaming effect the SA cleanser has. Start off using it in the evening and if your skin is happy, try it in the AM as well. It’s totally up to you. I personally use this only in the evening and then go in with a more gentle delicate cleanser in the morning (like the hydrating cleanser). Hope this helps and let me know how you get on with it :)

[@heathergustafson4237]

I would use the foaming cleanser, then when your breaking out switch to the SA line. See if using the SA moisturizer can be used all the time. If not go back and forth with their moisturizer

[@vlerak260]

Hi! I was wondering if you know the difference between the CeraVe SA renewing cleanser and the CeraVe SA smoothing cleanser?

[@fairyblueberry03]

They are the same except for 1 or 2 ingredients, it’s confusing because they’re called differently in the US (renewing) and in the UK (smoothing)

[@philwalker7189]

Congested / pores / blackheads .la roche posay duo seems to burn like crazy not sure their 2% salicylic wash maybe to harsh ..what's your expert advice ? Much appreciated

[@AdamRobertLamb]

Hey, I’m not an expert just a passionate skincare enthusiast who has had a lot of skin problems in my teens and early 20’s. I personally find this cleanser to not be overly stripping on the skin and the formula is fantastic at targeting blackheads, blemishes and textural irregularities whilst being gentle at the same time. However each skin is different and can react in different way but with CeraVe they are usually a safe option

[@philwalker7189]

Can you use this on sensitive skin? I have rosacea and I am looking for a chemical exfoliant that isn't going to make it worse

[@AdamRobertLamb]

Salicylic Acid is consider a safe chemical exfoliant and is a lot more gentle than some AHA’s. I don’t have your skin type and don’t suffer from rosacea so I can’t say from personal opinion however, you can find Salicylic Acid in varied percentages in a lot of cleansers!
