Cetaphil SA Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser is a foaming gel that relies on a three-acid blend—salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and gluconolactone—to exfoliate. This combination dissolves dull surface cells and loosens the bonds between the outer layers, providing a gentler alternative to physical scrubs. Suitable for daily use, including on sensitive skin, the formula is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and paraben-free. It also includes Niacinamide, Panthenol, and Glycerin to moisturize and calm as it cleans, leaving skin softer, brighter, and more evenly textured from the very first wash.
