What Else You Need to Know: The Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser is a clinically proven daily chemical exfoliating cleanser specifically formulated for sensitive skin that needs effective yet gentle exfoliation without disrupting the skin barrier. Its unique triple acid blend of Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid, and Gluconolactone removes excess oil, improves skin tone, and retains the skin's moisture while exfoliating — promoting surface skin cell renewal for smooth, even, and radiant-looking skin after just one use. Clinically proven to defend against 5 signs of skin sensitivity — dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier — and gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin. Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic.

Why It Works — Key Ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid (BHA): A beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates the skin to remove excess oil, decongest pores, and gently exfoliate the skin's surface — promoting surface skin cell renewal for a smoother, clearer, and more even-toned complexion after just one use.
• Mandelic Acid (AHA): A gentle alpha-hydroxy acid derived from almonds that exfoliates the skin's surface and improves skin tone and texture — particularly well-tolerated by sensitive skin types for effective daily exfoliation without irritation.
• Gluconolactone (PHA): A polyhydroxy acid that gently exfoliates the skin's surface while simultaneously retaining moisture — ideal for sensitive skin that needs effective exfoliation without disruption to the skin barrier or moisture levels.
• Triple Acid Blend (Salicylic Acid + Mandelic Acid + Gluconolactone): A unique combination of chemical exfoliants that work synergistically to remove excess oil, improve skin tone, promote surface skin cell renewal, and retain the skin's moisture while exfoliating — gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin without disrupting the skin barrier.
