What the community says

Pros

  • 1% salicylic acid exfoliates pores and smooths bumps
  • Creamy texture less stripping than foaming BHAs
  • Can be used daily once skin adjusts to tretinoin

Cons

  • Can worsen dryness and damage skin barrier if overused
  • May cause irritation or stinging especially with rosacea or sensitive skin
  • Not hydrating enough to replace a dedicated moisturizer

I've been using the CeraVe salicylic acid body wash in the shower
Yes, it helped me soo much with the strawberry skin on my arms! I'm currently peeling my skin 1-2 times a week and spray glycolic acid on my arms (and salicylic acid on my back for bacne) after every shower.
This routine helped even more than the stuff my derm gave me years ago.

AM routine: cerave SA cleanser
PM routine: oil cleanse with baby oil cerave SA cleanser
the first couple of months yes it did sometimes but to be fair when it was irritated, everything (even just splashing water on it) made it sting/burn. when that happened i took a break from tret for 1-2 nights and just used the same SA cleanser and cerave moisturiser. nowadays my skin is adjusted to tret the cleanser doesnt irritate me at all

for SA wash i use the CeraVe SA Cleanser.
It's great but not as hydrating as cerave cleanser so there's that but I think it's helping my skin a little bit with exfoilation and I need that sometimes because tret just leave dead skin on sometimes.
for centella i use the Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule and for SA wash i use the CeraVe SA Cleanser.

introduce a benzoyl peroxide cleanser and the cerave salicylic acid one.
You can use the active cleansers at night and use a more hydrating one in the morning.
