CeraVe SA Lotion for Rough & Bumpy Skin, 8 oz Fragrance-Free — Exfoliates & Hydrates with Salicylic + Lactic Acid

CeraVe SA Lotion for Rough & Bumpy Skin is a lightweight, fragrance-free body lotion that exfoliates and hydrates to smooth dry, rough patches while supporting the skin's barrier.

This dermatologist-developed formula combines salicylic and lactic acids to gently remove dead skin cells while delivering lasting moisture through CeraVe’s MVE delivery system. The 8-ounce pump bottle is non-comedogenic and allergy tested, making it suitable for daily use on legs, arms, and other areas prone to rough or bumpy texture. Key actives—ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin D—work together to soothe, hydrate and help restore the skin’s natural protective layer without clogging pores.

How does this lotion smooth rough, bumpy skin?

The lotion uses two exfoliating acids—salicylic acid (a BHA) and lactic acid (an AHA)—to loosen and remove dead skin cells from the surface and within pores. Exfoliation is paired with moisturizing and barrier-supporting ingredients to prevent rebound dryness and maintain a softer skin texture.

• Salicylic acid helps dissolve keratin buildup for smoother skin.
• Lactic acid refines and renews the skin’s surface for even texture.
• Ceramides rebuild and maintain the skin’s protective lipid barrier.
• MVE Technology provides a controlled, 24-hour release of moisturizing ingredients.

Will the lotion hydrate without feeling greasy?

Yes—CeraVe SA Lotion is formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy while delivering sustained hydration. Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture to the skin’s surface, and the MVE delivery system gradually releases emollients so skin stays hydrated longer without a heavy residue.

• Hyaluronic acid draws and holds moisture on the skin.
• MVE delivers hydration continuously for up to 24 hours.
• Non-comedogenic formula avoids pore blockages and shine.
• Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic for minimal irritation risk.

Can I use this on sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The lotion is allergy tested, fragrance-free and developed with dermatologists to be gentle on sensitive skin types. While salicylic acid can help clear and smooth rough patches, users with active, inflamed acne or very reactive skin should patch test and consult a dermatologist before broad application.

• Niacinamide helps calm and soothe the skin.
• Fragrance-free reduces risk of irritation for sensitive skin.
• Non-comedogenic labeling makes it appropriate for acne-prone areas when used as directed.
• Patch test first on a small area if you have reactive skin.

How and when should I apply the lotion for best results?

Apply daily after bathing or whenever skin feels dry to lock in moisture and support exfoliation. For best results, smooth a thin layer over rough areas once or twice daily; consistent use helps improve texture over several weeks.

• Use after showering on damp skin to maximize absorption.
• Apply to legs, upper arms, and other rough patches as needed.
• Avoid broken or severely inflamed skin; consult a clinician if unsure.
• Pair with CeraVe cleanser for a complementary exfoliating routine.
