What Else You Need to Know: The Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser is a clinically proven gentle daily exfoliating face cleanser specifically formulated for sensitive, normal, and combination skin that needs effective chemical exfoliation without irritation. A unique triple acid blend of Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid, and Gluconolactone removes excess oil, improves skin tone, and retains skin's moisture while exfoliating — promoting surface skin cell renewal for smooth, even, and radiant-looking skin after just 1 use. Gentle and non-irritating, suitable for daily use on sensitive skin without disrupting the skin barrier. Defends against 5 signs of skin sensitivity — dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier. Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic for all skin tones.

Defends Against 5 Signs of Skin Sensitivity:

Dryness. Irritation. Roughness. Tightness. A weakened skin barrier.

Why It Works — Triple Acid Blend:

Salicylic Acid: A clinically proven chemical exfoliant that penetrates pores to remove excess oil and dead skin cells — promoting surface skin cell renewal and improving skin texture and tone without irritating sensitive skin.

Mandelic Acid: A gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from almonds that exfoliates the skin's surface to improve skin tone and texture — delivering effective chemical exfoliation that is gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin without disrupting the skin barrier.

Gluconolactone (Polyhydroxy Acid / PHA): A next-generation polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that gently exfoliates while simultaneously retaining skin's moisture — providing effective surface cell renewal without the dryness or irritation associated with traditional chemical exfoliants, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
