CeraVe Exfoliating Moisturizing Cream for Body with Salicylic & Lactic Acid, 12 oz — Fragrance-Free Hydration & Barrier Repair

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream with Salicylic Acid is a fragrance-free body cream that exfoliates rough, bumpy skin while delivering long-lasting hydration and barrier-supporting ceramides.

This cream was developed with dermatologists to smooth and moisturize areas prone to dryness and texture, like legs and upper arms. It combines salicylic and lactic acids to gently remove dead skin cells, while a blend of niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin D and three essential ceramides helps hydrate, calm, and support the skin’s natural barrier. The formula is non-comedogenic, allergy-tested, and designed to be tolerable for sensitive skin types.

How does this cream smooth rough, bumpy skin?

Salicylic acid (a BHA) and lactic acid (an AHA) work together to loosen and shed dead skin cells on the surface and within pores. This controlled chemical exfoliation reduces visible bumps and helps the skin feel softer without manual scrubbing.

• Salicylic acid gently penetrates to help remove dead cells and clear rough texture.
• Lactic acid renews the surface for a finer skin feel and improved appearance.
• Non-abrasive, suitable for areas with stubborn roughness like arms and legs.

Will this cream keep my skin hydrated all day?

The product uses CeraVe’s MVE delivery system to release moisturizing ingredients over time, promoting sustained hydration. Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture, while ceramides help lock that hydration into the skin barrier.

• MVE technology provides extended release of humectants for up to 24 hours of moisture.
• Hyaluronic acid draws water to the skin’s surface for immediate softness.
• Ceramides rebuild and reinforce the lipid barrier to reduce moisture loss.

Is this formula gentle enough for sensitive skin?

The cream is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and allergy-tested to minimize irritation risk. Niacinamide is included to soothe and calm the skin, making the product a considerate choice for those with reactive or easily irritated skin types.

• Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic formulation to reduce potential irritants.
• Niacinamide helps to calm visible redness and supports tolerance.
• Developed with dermatologists and suitable for many common skin concerns.

How should I incorporate this into my body care routine?

Use after cleansing, ideally on towel-dried skin to help lock in moisture. For best results on rough or bumpy areas, apply once or twice daily; pairing with a salicylic acid body wash can enhance exfoliation but space out strong actives if irritation occurs.

• Apply to clean, dry skin—focus on textured or dry patches.
• Start with once daily; increase frequency if tolerated and needed.
• Combine with gentle cleansers; avoid layering multiple strong exfoliants at once.

Who is this for: This cream is suited for people dealing with persistent dry, rough, or bumpy skin on the body who want both exfoliation and long-lasting moisture without fragrance. It fits users seeking a dermatologist-developed option that supports the skin barrier, including those with sensitive or acne-prone skin who prefer non-comedogenic, allergy-tested products. If you have severe skin conditions or are using prescription exfoliants, consult a healthcare professional before combining treatments.
