Where It Fits In Your Routine
How to Use
Cleanse First
Use CeraVe SA Body Wash or a gentle cleanser in the shower. Pat skin dry with a towel, leaving skin slightly damp.
Apply Generously
Take a generous amount and massage into rough, bumpy areas - upper arms, thighs, elbows, knees, and any KP-prone zones.
Use Daily
Apply once or twice daily (morning and evening) for best results. Consistency is key - allow 4-8 weeks to see significant improvement.
Protect from Sun
Apply sunscreen to treated areas when going outdoors. AHA/BHA can increase sun sensitivity.
Skin Type Compatibility
Perfect match! Rich formula with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and urea deeply hydrates while exfoliating dry, flaky patches. Ideal for xerosis.
Specifically designed for KP (chicken skin). Dual AHA/BHA exfoliation dissolves keratin plugs while moisturizing. Best-in-class for bumpy arms and thighs.
Great preventive care for maintaining smooth texture. Non-greasy finish works well for everyday body moisturizing.
Works well on different body zones. May feel slightly rich on naturally oilier areas but absorbs well overall.
May feel heavy for very oily skin types. Consider the lighter SA Lotion version instead for a less occlusive finish.
Fragrance-free and allergy-tested. Niacinamide calms irritation. May cause mild tingling initially - patch test first. NEA accepted.
Accepted by National Eczema Association. Ceramides restore barrier function. Avoid applying on active flare-ups or broken skin.
Non-comedogenic formula with salicylic acid helps with body acne (bacne). However, not fungal acne safe - avoid if prone to malassezia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pregnancy: Yes, with precautions. This product contains 2% Salicylic Acid which is considered safe for topical use during pregnancy by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Avoid high-concentration peels or oral salicylates. Always consult your healthcare provider before use.
Breastfeeding: Generally safe. Topical salicylic acid at 2% concentration is unlikely to be absorbed into breastmilk in significant amounts. Avoid applying to areas that may come in direct contact with your baby's skin during nursing (chest area). If concerned, consult your doctor.
No, this product is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients known to potentially feed malassezia yeast:
- Fatty alcohols (Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol)
- Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter
- Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil
- Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil
- Various esters and glyceryl compounds
If you're prone to fungal acne/pityrosporum folliculitis, consider alternatives like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (regular version is more FA-friendly) or look for oil-free, malassezia-safe options.
This product already contains both AHA (lactic acid) and BHA (salicylic acid), so layering additional acids may cause irritation and over-exfoliation.
Recommendations:
- Retinol: Use on alternate days/nights to avoid irritation. Don't layer directly.
- Vitamin C: Can be used, but apply vitamin C in the morning and SA Cream at night for best results.
- Other AHA/BHA: Not recommended - risk of over-exfoliation, irritation, and compromised skin barrier.
If you experience redness, peeling, or stinging, reduce frequency of use or discontinue one product.
Best suited for:
- Dry to very dry skin
- Keratosis pilaris (KP) / "chicken skin"
- Rough, bumpy, or scaly skin texture
- Normal skin wanting smoother texture
- Body acne (non-fungal)
May not be ideal for:
- Very oily body skin (try SA Lotion instead)
- Fungal acne prone skin
- Facial use (too occlusive)
Timeline for visible results:
- Week 1-2: Softer, smoother feel. Dry patches improve.
- Week 3-4: Visible reduction in KP bumps and rough texture.
- Week 5-8: Significant improvement - smoother, healthier-looking skin.
- Ongoing: Continued use maintains results.
Key to success: Consistency! Apply daily (once or twice) for at least 4-8 weeks. KP is a chronic condition - stopping use may cause bumps to gradually return.
Body Routine Order:
- Cleanser (in shower) - try CeraVe SA Body Wash
- Pat skin dry (leave slightly damp)
- CeraVe SA Cream - apply to rough/bumpy areas
- Sunscreen (morning/daytime only) on exposed areas
Timing: Can be used morning and/or night. Most effective when applied to slightly damp skin after bathing.
Note: This is a body cream - use separate facial products for your face routine.
Comedogenic Rating: 1/5 (Low)
CeraVe SA Cream is labeled as non-comedogenic and is formulated not to clog pores. The salicylic acid actively works to unclog pores and prevent buildup.
However, individual reactions vary. Some ingredients like fatty alcohols and shea butter have low-moderate comedogenic potential for certain people. If you're highly acne-prone on specific body areas, patch test first.
Note: Not recommended for facial use regardless of comedogenicity - the rich formula is designed for body skin.
Period After Opening (PAO): 12 Months
Once opened, use within 12 months for best efficacy and safety. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
Tips for extending freshness:
- Use clean, dry hands when scooping from jar
- Close lid tightly after each use
- Don't introduce water into the jar
- Consider using a small spatula for more hygienic application
If the product changes color, smell, or texture, discontinue use.
Not recommended for facial use.
While technically you could, this cream is specifically formulated for body skin which is thicker and less sensitive than facial skin. The rich, occlusive formula with shea butter and oils may:
- Feel too heavy and greasy on the face
- Potentially cause breakouts or congestion
- Be too intense for sensitive facial skin
Better alternatives for face:
- CeraVe SA Renewing Cleanser (face wash)
- CeraVe Renewing SA Lotion (lighter formula)
- Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
CeraVe SA Cream:
- Richer, thicker texture
- More moisturizing and occlusive
- Better for very dry, rough skin
- Comes in a jar
CeraVe SA Lotion:
- Lighter, more fluid texture
- Absorbs faster, less greasy
- Better for oily/combination body skin
- Comes in a pump bottle
Both contain: Salicylic acid, lactic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid - same key active ingredients, different vehicle.
Final Verdict
CeraVe SA Cream is one of the best drugstore options for treating keratosis pilaris and rough, bumpy body skin. The dual AHA/BHA exfoliation paired with barrier-repairing ceramides, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and calming niacinamide creates a comprehensive formula that addresses both the symptom (bumps) and underlying cause (keratin buildup + dry skin). While not fungal acne safe and too rich for facial use, it excels at its intended purpose: transforming rough, textured body skin into smooth, soft, healthy-looking skin. At under $20 for a large tub, it offers exceptional value compared to premium alternatives like Paula's Choice. Highly recommended for anyone with KP or chronically dry, rough body skin.
Pros
- Excellent for keratosis pilaris treatment
- Dual AHA + BHA exfoliation
- 3 ceramides for barrier repair
- Fragrance-free and NEA accepted
- Affordable drugstore price
- Dermatologist-developed formula
Cons
- Not fungal acne safe

Silicone-Free
Silicone-Free
Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
