CeraVe SA Smoothing Exfoliating Cleanser for Rough & Bumpy Skin 473ml

CeraVe SA Smoothing Exfoliating Cleanser is a lightly foaming face and body wash designed to cleanse and gently exfoliate dry, rough and bumpy skin.

The gel-to-foam formula uses salicylic acid to loosen built-up dead skin cells and improve uneven-feeling texture. Three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide help support hydration and maintain the skin’s protective barrier while cleansing.

Use it on the face or body to target rough texture, visible bumps and areas prone to clogged follicles. Unlike a physical scrub, it provides chemical exfoliation without harsh microbeads that can irritate the skin.

Key benefits 

• Cleanses away dirt, excess oil and everyday impurities
• Gently removes built-up dead skin cells
• Helps improve rough, bumpy and uneven-feeling texture
• Leaves skin feeling softer, cleaner and smoother
• Supports the skin’s natural protective barrier
• Exfoliates without harsh physical scrub particles
• Suitable for use on both the face and body

The salicylic acid formula removes built-up dead skin cells while ceramides help maintain the skin barrier, leaving skin feeling cleaner, softer and smoother.

Best for

Ideal if you want:

• A cleanser for dry, rough or bumpy skin
• Gentle chemical exfoliation without a physical scrub
• A face and body wash containing salicylic acid
• Help smoothing visible bumps and clogged-feeling areas
• A cleanser for skin prone to keratosis pilaris-like texture
• A fragrance-free exfoliating cleanser
• An easy first step in a smoother-skin routine

Consider another option if: your skin is highly sensitive, irritated, peeling or already being treated with several exfoliating products. A non-exfoliating cleanser may feel more comfortable when your skin barrier is compromised.

Key ingredients

Salicylic acid
A beta-hydroxy acid that gently loosens built-up dead skin cells, supports clearer-looking pores and improves the feel of rough or bumpy skin.

Three essential ceramides
Ceramides NP, AP and EOP help maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier and reduce moisture loss.

Hyaluronic acid
Helps attract and retain moisture, supporting a hydrated and comfortable skin feel after cleansing.

Niacinamide
Vitamin B3 that helps support the skin barrier and contributes to a calmer, more balanced-looking complexion.

Melas approved because…

It combines daily cleansing with gentle salicylic acid exfoliation, helping address rough and uneven-feeling skin without relying on abrasive scrub particles.

The face-and-body formula makes it a practical choice for areas prone to visible bumps, built-up dead skin and clogged follicles.

Three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide help balance the exfoliating action by supporting hydration and the skin’s protective barrier.

It works particularly well as the first step in a texture-focused routine when followed with a suitable moisturiser, such as CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream.
