SA Cream for Rough & Bumpy Skin — Reddit Reviews
by CeraVe
Updated October 29, 2026
Salicylic acid smooths keratosis pilaris and strawberry legs; heavy, deeply moisturizing cream.
What the community says
A heavy salicylic-acid cream for rough body texture, especially convincing on keratosis pilaris and strawberry legs. It suits dry skin needing exfoliation plus moisture, but oily or irritation-prone skin can find the finish too occlusive.
