Cerave Renewing Sa Cleanser For Oily Skin 237ml

We put the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser to the test after receiving a complimentary sample from the brand. Keep reading for our full product review. 

When I was 27, I went to see a dermatologist. Even though I was approaching 30, I told her, I still couldn’t seem to get rid of those pesky breakouts, which popped up every month. She prescribed me a sulfur-based cleanser that smelled horrible, but I decided to give it a shot. Miracle of miracles, within a few months my face had stopped breaking out entirely.

Then pregnancy—more accurately, postpartum—hit, and suddenly I was dealing with monthly breakouts again, mostly along my jawline. When I went to a dermatologist, she told me that my skin had likely stopped responding to the sulfur-based cleanser and that in addition to a few topical creams she prescribed me, I should get back to cleanser basics with a brand like Cetaphil or CeraVe. 

When I got the opportunity to try the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser, I was excited. I’d used CeraVe bar soap and been happy with the results, and this one has salicylic acid in it, a famous acne-fighting ingredient.
