Reddit mentions of CeraVe SA Cream | 12 Ounce | Renewing Salicylic Acid Body Cream for Rough and Bumpy Skin | Fragrance Free

It's ok. I find the casual term misleading too. It should be more specific, as Cerave has two tub creams, one with salicylic acid (if you have bumpy or super dry skin) and the regular Hyaluronic acid. The term refers to the latter.

Hey man try "CeraVe SA Cream" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D7BZNT2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ao5MAbD837WBR

You can also find it at your local CVS or Walgreens.

I just started using it for 5 days now and it cleared up my dermititis almost completely on the sides of my nose. I've been applying it once at night after splashing my face with water and it does wonders. At first the flakes didn't go away but on the 4th day after washing my face in the morning and seeing the annoying flakes visible after I went to try and pick some off and instead of them being hard and crusty like usual and painful to peel off, they came off very easily and gently to reveal healthy skin underneath. It's amazing. I'm just hoping it'll keep working.

I think what makes it work so well is the Salicylic Acid which helps to exfoliate the flakes and hydrate your face.

Hope you give it a try and it works as well for you as it did for me! Because your dermititis looks very similar to mine so I have hope!

P.S. shaving also helps a lot too. And try using an electric razor to not irritate your face.

Yes, it looks like psoriasis. As my derm says, "moisturize, moisturize, moisturize." Fragrance free and with dimethicone and/or salicylic acid. Don't pick or scratch at it, and try to avoid fragrance in soaps, etc.

I also benefit a lot from injections she gives me directly into the affected areas when they're particularly inflamed, and I alternate a few prescription steroid sprays.

Other things work for other people. That's just what I've found helps me. As for the joint pain - maybe it's psoriatic arthritis, but you should see a doctor about that. No idea about the tongue.

Good luck!

Moisturize! My skin gets like that in the winter too, including my hands. I have to use a richer moisturizer in the wintertime. Cerave in the tub is highly recommended, I use this one in the winter at night, since it is heavy (as in thick) and does wonders for my skin.

Im not sure on the % but Cerave has a SA bodywash that you could try:

And also a SA body lotion:

Have you tried any Salicylic Acid products? I've used various things over the years, but any SA product seems to work for me. Right now I'm using Cerave Renewing SA Cream

I use AHA a couple of times a week, I notice the effects of it pretty much right away. However after I posted this I remembered that one of the bigger things that helped get rid of my forehead bumps was my CeraVe SA Renewing Cream (this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D7BZNT2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that really helps to smooth out your skin and get rid of bumps. The AHA is great for exfoliating and smoothing your skin in general, but I think that the Cerave SA cream helps a lot more. I use both of them regularly so I think the combination of the two helps as well. I probably use AHA a couple of times a week (don't overdo it with exfoliating), and the Cerave I use daily, usually at night, and in the morning I'll use a lighter moisturizer (my personal favorite is the Cerave Moisturizing PM Lotion, despite the fact that is says "PM" you can use it any time, it's super lightweight). But yeah, I highly recommend the SA Renewing Cream for bumps as well as AHA. Best of luck!

cerave makes a lotion with salicylic acid for kp. I just started using it so i dunno if it works 100% or not but it seems to help. KP takes a while to go away, just FYI.

Ok, ready yourself for product review bombardment! Also, I thought a fun Christmas idea this year would be to give stockings to my close girlfriends with my favorite new products I've tried out this year.

Tend Skin Aftershave - I actually just recommended this product on the post asking about razor bumps. I will never go without this product again in my life. MY GOD it burns! And it smells like pure rubbing alcohol, but it delivers as promised. I've been using in conjuctions with...

Cerave Renewing SA Cream - I use this all over my body because I get crazy razor bumps AND I have keratosis pilaris (chicken skin) on top of a thyroid problem (so I get dry as the desert skin).

Aquaphor - I realize for some people this is an obvious, but I've always had chapped lips, nonstop, and this seems to be keeping them moisturized better than anything I've tried. It's also helping with my psoriasis on my elbow, when I remember to apply.

Stila Stay All Day Lipstick - I don't know who this stays all day on. I can't even make it to lunch without being lipstick-less. Do I need to set it with something?? I've tried applying different amounts to see if that changes the outcome but nope. Sadness.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - This one I'm kind of on the fence about. I don't hate it. It hasn't broken me out. It's not oxidizing. I still have a nice enough complexion when I take it off at night. But there's just something...thick? pore-y? about it. When I look at myself close up, I see 'bad skin' instead of flawless finish that I want to see...And I don't even feel like I really have bad skin, so much as I just have dry skin.

Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo/Conditioner - sigh. I wanted to like this. I needed it to be my holy grail shampoo/conditioner. Sadly it's not anywhere near. My hair somehow managed to feel dry and greasy at the same time after using. Only my hair could accomplish that!

Aussie Moist Conditioner - Frankly I don't know if this does anything good for my hair, but it gives it good slip and it smells AMAZING.

Tresemme Flawless Curls Mousse - I decided to give this a shot for my coarse, dry, wavy hair because I read that alcohol-free mousse helps when you have wavy hair and air dry. SIGH. My hair seems to be...frizzier on top of my head now? I don't know how this happened. The first time I applied, I did just from about my ear/shoulder level down - no good. The next time I did full hair length - no good. Next I waited just a bit so my hair was a little more air dried (not long, maybe 5 minutes longer) - no good. This product is just not for me. Also it leaves a gross residue that doesn't scrunch out.

NEXT UP, I'll be trying out Loreal Air Dry It Spray to see if I can tame the beast!

I also just ordered Joico Ironclad Heat Protectant for when I give up on the poofy beast and straighten it.

I've used Cali White Teeth Whitening Kit for two nights now, technically three, but I paused after the first night to wait for my remineralizing gel to arrive. I will review after enough time has passed to determine if it's working. I chose it because I have crazy sensitive teeth and it doesn't contain peroxide like most teeth whitening systems.

Let me know if you have any questions/want more detail about any of these products!



EDIT: I forgot about my new deodorant! I've been using Donna Karan Cashmere Mist for a few weeks now and love it! I feel so feminine wearing it instead of sharing my husband's deodorant. It works pretty well too cause I'm a sweaty, sweaty girl. It's a very firm texture compared to most solid deodorants, and the scent is sort of baby powder-ish, sort of old-lady, sort of moroccan amber (which is my new fave scent I found thru Nest home stuffs).

I recently discovered I have KP on my legs as well. I tried Tend Skin a few years ago with no results really. I started using CeraVe Renewing SA CREAM. This is the stuff that comes in a tub instead of a pump. It's so thick and creamy. It's amazing. I've been using it daily for about a month now. The bumps completely disappeared in about a week or two. The dark spots are lightening, but not completely gone yet. Honestly wish I had taken a before picture because I'm really happy with the results so far. I can't recommend this enough.

Drink lots (LOTS) of water. Try taking fish oil capsules (1000mg) everyday. It'll help with joint pain, if you do experience some. I haven't tried this, but a lot of people online said that CeraVe SA Renewing Cream helped with dry, itchy patches on their body. I guess that's it :) Good luck!

How should salicylic acid be regulated and how well would it work to clear up an oily and bumpy nose? My nose can get super oily at times, and has had these small bumps around it for the longest time. I don't think they'd count as full on pimples, as they're pretty small and only visible up close, but I can feel them because there're so many. I was suggested to try Stridex pads to clear it up because of the salicylic acid

 

I checked out a store a few days ago and found the Cerave SA cream. The label itself suggests that it helps dry and bumpy skin, so I picked it up since I couldn't find any Stridex. I tried it out a couple times on my body(the rest of my body is extremely dry) and once on my nose. It worked great on my body! Of course it's not instantly super soft to touch, but the cream did instantly remove flaking from my dry skin and made my hands much softer over two nights than Vaseline and moisturizer did over weeks. I haven't noticed any change in my nose, but since I've only tried once, I'll keep trying. But after researching salicylic acid a bit(I know, I should've done this before trying it out), I found out that it could be harmful if used too much and for certain skin types. I'm a 4 on the Fitzpatrick scale, so I'm a little worried, could this stuff actually cause harm if used every night?

My current routine has been to use Cerave facial cleanser ,Cerave SA cream, and Cerave Moisturizing lotion+sunscreen. In the A.M. I apply the cleanser, exfoliant, wait for the exfoliant to dry out and then apply some moisturizer.In the P.M. I apply the cleanser and moisturizer, then right before I sleep I put on some more facial cleanser.This routine has worked for me for the past month up until last week, when I started realizing I got a little more prone to breakouts. I'm just looking for routine advice. Anything would be highly appreciated.

Check out r/SkincareAddiction, and I've had great results with CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser (SA = salicylic acid - is good stuff!) and the corresponding cream. There is also a lotion available, which is a little lighter consistency from the cream, but I like the cream better.

I'd try the following:

• Use a cuticle nipper to remove any loose, dead bits of skin and hangnails
  
  
• Use a hand lotion with acids to promote chemical exfoliation of dead skin. I use this one every night: https://www.amazon.com/CeraVe-Renewing-Cream-Salicylic-Moisturizer/dp/B00D7BZNT2/
