Review: Saved my skin! - To make the long story short, this is great for dry, sensitive skin, and it really helps clear acne! Full review: I've had acne since I was 10, and back in the summer of 2016, I was prescribed birth control and a few months of Retin-A cream. Retin-A cream can be really harsh, so I initially only used it for my body acne and not my face. Eventually I started using a tiny amount a few times a week to help my remaining facial acne as the birth control continued to clear it and to help smooth some wrinkles and maybe fade my acne scars. However, I was still using St. Ives apricot scrub with salicylic acid and some roc retinol cream a few nights a week also. Add in some time in the sun with no sunblock, and I ended up with a terribly burned face. This, along with the dryness from a Colorado fall/early winter made my skin extremely dry and painful. I couldn't even apply moisturizer without it burning. Needless to say, I had to stop using any face wash. The dryness also started to make my skin break out, and I couldn't treat it with anything. After desperately googling remedies for my dry skin and forming acne, I started using a mixture of tea tree, argan, jojoba, rose hip, and sometimes castor oil on my face along with frequent honey masks. This fixed my dry skin, which store bought moisturizers for extremely dry skin couldn't do, but I still had terrible acne, like the worst I've ever had in my life. I started using a bar of Cerave moisturizing soap because it was on clearance at walmart for like $1 and I'd heard of people using it for acne. This helped to make my face feel cleaner, but it didn't really help my acne. I knew I needed something that could exfoliate my skin, but there was no way I was going to use something as harsh as the St. Ives scrub again. I decided to try this because I did like the Cerave bar soap even though it didn't help my acne, and this has at least some salycilic acid for exfoliation. When I first used it, I didn't think it was really going to help my acne because the consistency is so smooth and it doesn't seem like it could really exfoliate. However, after 1-2 weeks, I started to notice my skin clearing up. Slowly but surely, this face wash helped to almost completely clear my skin. I had also started taking my birth control more regularly, added a probiotic supplement, and started using vitamin c on my face, so I can't say this is the only thing that helped my acne, but it certainly contributed a lot. I also eventually started using an electric face brush to help exfoliate, and I think that could've helped. I still get acne around my period, and because I'm a college senior, so I'm always super stressed, don't get enough sleep, and don't always eat right. Also, you can't tell from the pictures, but I have quite a few blackheads on my nose. The face wash has helped clear some of those and make them smaller, but I have yet to find a product that actually completely gets rid of them, and I've tried many. Even with the blackheads, my skin is so much better now. This face wash saved my skin, and I think it's worth every penny! Pictures: Picture 1- The right side is a picture from February 14, 2017 without any makeup after starting my oil treatment. The left side is from April 7, 2017 with makeup, but you can still see how awful my skin was. I didn't start using the face wash until around the end of April. Picture 2- The left part is from July 7, 2017, and the two on the right are both from July 17, 2017. I am wearing makeup in all of these pictures, but you can tell that my skin had improved significantly. Few pimples, but lots of acne scars from the breakout. Picture 3- Both were taken August 21, 2017 with make up. Once again you can see I don't have many pimples, just terrible acne scars. Picture 4- The left part was taken December 12, 2017. I was testing a BB cream, so it is cover the bottom half of my face, but you can see that my skin looks pretty clear. The top right side was taken December 13 with the BB cream on my entire face. The bottom right picture was taken today with no makeup. As I said previously, I still get pimples from stress and periods, but they are usually small and mild instead of the giant lumps I was getting before, and they go away really quickly using cosrx pimple patches (definitely check those out) and vitamin c serum. Also, please note that I do have freckles, so most of the spots on my face are just freckles or dark marks from old acne I am still trying to get rid of. Sorry for the long review, and all the pictures with makeup (I didn't take many without makeup when my skin was that bad), but I hope it helped!
Review: A Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser - I really love this cleanser! It’s actually exfoliating and helps with clogged pores and blackheads. It’s gentle, doesn’t leave my skin dry or greasy, and has a mild scent. I almost finished the whole bottle and definitely recommend it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What % of Salicylic Acid is in this product?**
A: My dermatologist, from their product information, states it's less than <1%. If using this product, 0.5-1% would affect the skin in the same way. A >2% level is considered a damaging peel, rather than developing a natural slough of dead skin cells that .05-1% will do  This exfoliates gently, and gradually, avoiding skin damage, thus aiding in healing and repair. FYI - Zote bar soap drastically controls demodex mites which is the #1 cause of skin issues. The mites eat but do not 💩, They live to hang out in damaged skin, they die with all their waste in them, Their water becomes bacteria, and can further develope into a fungus infection.

**Q: Does anyone use the SA cleanser for your body? I only see reviews saying people use it for their face.**
A: Yes i do. I have had Lynne disease, chronic Lynne disease, for over 10 years now. I have a bacterial infection that's in my blood that can't be control. Any cut, abrasion, bug bite, or ingrown hair becomes a horrible mess, and can become a deep infection. Prednisone, 5mg twice a WEEK, keeps the information from making things worse. SA products, as well as the liquid wart remover destroy the bacterial infection faster than everything, and i do man e everything, that's out there. Zote bar soap is the other blessing. It kills Demodex mites, and repels blood sucking insects from biting me. It's wonderful for your skin and hair.

**Q: Can this be used daily? Since it says it exofoliates.**
A: I have very very sensitive skin and rosacea and this is my daily cleanser (I don't use it just for exfoliation). I've been using this cleanser 2x daily (AM & PM) for over 3 years. Currently I use it before +thayer's witch hazel, the outset serum, Cerave or Humanrace moisturizing cream, supergoop tinted sunscreen or cerave tinted sunscreen). there's nothing else like it. No break outs (pimples etc), no irritation or inflammation, no dryness. Just calm skin. If you want "glowy" skin you'll want to add a serum and/or moisturizer. If you want an exfoliator that's more like a peel, this isn't the right product. It is the only product in my skincare regime that I will not change or replace. For others with sensitive skin or rosacea, I started out with this 1-2x per week and built up frequency to daily and phased out Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (Cetaphil was great, but for me this was better b/c it exfoliated & cleansed so significantly reduced clogged pores). I find that when I don't use it for more than a week or 2 (like when I forgot it while traveling), my pores around t-zone area are clogged. Doesn't help with rosacea (I have to take dermatologist Rx), but it DOES NOT make it worse which most SA and other exfoliating products do.

**Q: Which would be better for my son's acne - the foaming cleanser or renewing SA cleanser?**
A: The foaming cleanser will remove excess oil and refresh the skin without over-stripping it or leaving it feeling tight and dry that is ideal for normal to oily skin. The SA cleanser is safe to use on the face and body as well as acne-prone and psoriasis-prone skin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser
*by J***A on September 6, 2026*

I really love this cleanser! It’s actually exfoliating and helps with clogged pores and blackheads. It’s gentle, doesn’t leave my skin dry or greasy, and has a mild scent. I almost finished the whole bottle and definitely recommend it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smoother skin, fewer clogged pores, and not that tight stripped feeling
*by N***K on July 22, 2026*

I have been using this CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser pretty regularly for a while now, and I really like it. I have combination skin, so I appreciate a cleanser that can help with oil, texture, blackheads, and clogged pores without making my skin feel overly dry or stripped. What I like: • Gentle exfoliating cleanser • Helps my skin feel smoother • Leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight • Seems to help with blackheads • Seems to help with clogged pores • Helps with excess oil without overdoing it • Good for my combination skin • Nice option for skin texture concerns • Important to me as I get older and pay more attention to texture and smoothness • Contains salicylic acid • Also formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides • Fragrance-free • Non-comedogenic • Pump bottle is easy to use • Works well as part of a regular skincare routine • Good for both men and women • Does not feel harsh when I use it consistently and follow with moisturizer Things to be aware of: • This is still an exfoliating cleanser, so I would not overdo it if your skin is very dry or very sensitive • If you are new to salicylic acid, I would start slowly and see how your skin reacts • Very dry or sensitive skin may want to start with occasional use instead of daily use • Moisturizer afterward is important • I think this works best when paired with a good moisturizer • It is fragrance-free, so do not expect a scented face wash • Results with clogged pores, blackheads, and texture take consistent use Overall: This has become a regular cleanser for me because it leaves my skin feeling clean, smoother, and not overly dried out. I have combination skin, and it seems to help with excess oil, clogged pores, and blackheads while still being gentle enough for regular use when I follow with moisturizer. I also like that it includes ingredients like salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides, because I want something that helps with texture but still supports my skin as it ages. For me, this is a solid everyday-style exfoliating cleanser that works well without feeling harsh.
