CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream is a rich, dermatologist-developed moisturiser that gently exfoliates while providing intensive hydration to dry, rough and bumpy skin. Suitable for both the face and body, it is specially formulated to improve skin texture without compromising the skin’s natural protective barrier.
Powered by salicylic acid, urea, three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, this fragrance-free, non-comedogenic cream helps soften rough patches, smooth uneven texture and replenish moisture. Its fast-absorbing formula provides long-lasting hydration, making it ideal for keratosis pilaris, rough elbows and knees, and dry skin that needs both exfoliation and barrier repair.

Key Ingredients
Salicylic Acid – gently exfoliates dead skin cells to smooth rough skin and improve texture.
Urea – deeply hydrates while softening thickened, rough skin.
Three Essential Ceramides (Ceramide NP, AP & EOP) – help restore and maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier.
Hyaluronic Acid – attracts and retains moisture to keep the skin hydrated.
Niacinamide – helps soothe the skin and support barrier function.
Apply generously to clean, dry skin once or twice daily, paying particular attention to rough or bumpy areas such as the upper arms, thighs, elbows and knees. Massage gently until fully absorbed. If using on exposed areas during the day, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
“For rough, bumpy skin, hydration alone is often not enough. Combining gentle exfoliation with barrier repair helps restore smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.”
