Salicylic acid cream can exfoliate, soften and smooth very dry skin Ð from scaly skin on your legs to bumps on the backs of your arms (and all the rough skin in between). CeraVe SA Cream for rough and bumpy skin is designed to improve skin texture and soften very dry skin. Formulated with salicylic acid, lactic acid, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, our fragrance-free cream for rough skin helps improve skin texture by exfoliating, hydrating and calming your skin while restoring its natural barrier with three essential ceramides. To help keep your skin hydrated, CeraVe SA Cream also features our patented MVE Delivery Technology for continual release of moisturizing ingredients over the course of 24 hours.
