CeraVe SA Smoothing Body Cream is a dermatologist-developed body moisturiser that gently exfoliates and hydrates rough, bumpy and dry skin. The 177ml formula combines salicylic acid, lactic acid and 10% urea with three essential ceramides to leave the skin smoother, softer and visibly more even.
About CeraVe
Developed in the United States in 2005 with input from dermatologists, CeraVe was the first brand to introduce essential ceramides into its everyday moisturisers. The line is built around the MultiVesicular Emulsion (MVE) delivery system, which releases hydration gradually throughout the day to support a healthy skin barrier.
Key ingredients
- Salicylic acid & LHA: gentle BHA exfoliants that smooth rough patches and refine the skin's texture.
- 10% urea & lactic acid: humectants that soften and resurface rough areas like elbows, knees and feet.
- Three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): help restore and strengthen the skin's protective barrier.
- Hyaluronic acid: attracts and retains moisture for long-lasting hydration.
- Niacinamide: helps calm and soothe the skin.

- Apply daily to clean, thoroughly dry skin.
