Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser

Product Information

If you want smoother, more radiant skin but physical scrubs leave your face red and irritated, Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser is the answer. This foaming gel cleanser gently cleanses and exfoliates to promote surface skin cell renewal – revealing smooth, even, and radiant-looking skin after just 1 use.

What makes it so effective? It is formulated with a unique triple acid blend of Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid, and Gluconolactone that gently removes excess oil, improves skin tone, and retains moisture while exfoliating. Unlike harsh physical exfoliators, this gentle chemical exfoliator works without disrupting your skin barrier.

It also contains a blend of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), and Glycerin to hydrate and moisturize your skin while helping to soothe and preserve your skin barrier. In fact, daily use can help improve the resilience of sensitive skin over time. This cleanser reveals softer, smoother skin and a more even skin tone in just 1 week – and it is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and won't clog pores.
