Resurfacing Retinol Serum

This is probably one of my favorite products for skincare! I can’t tolerate a stronger retinol yet postpartum, because I’ve been off of it for a while. This is a great segway product to get me back to a stronger product. It does not irritate your skin at all, leaves a beautiful glowy finish and feels great on the skin. I can even put it on my neck without bothering my skin, which is huge. I would recommend this for anyone in a similar situation, anyone that has never used a type of product like this before and wants to start or has very sensitive skin. It’s fantastic and very easy to use.

I had horrible cystic acne in my early teens that left a lot of scarring and hyperpigmentation on my face; mostly my cheeks, but small dots here and there on my temples too. I use prescription clindamycin for the occasional cystic acne now, but of course that doesn't do anything for scarring so I decided to branch out. I'm scared of needles so microneedling, while arguably not THAT scary, wasn't an option both because of my fear and because of the price... Hence, this product. I chose this one because it had a lot of reviews honestly, I am definitely a victim of the "oh, this product has close to five stars and blah blah so many reviews, that must mean it'll work on me!" mentality sometimes, I will admit, so I was a bit skeptical because I've taken this approach before with some products in the past and it didn't go well. THIS is the best choice I've ever made for a skincare product. While the scarring on my right cheek is still there, it is very minimal now and way less noticeable. As for my left cheek, it's literally almost completely gone. It's crazy. I've only been using this for like maybe 2 months, and just like that, bad acne scarring is gone. I didn't even know that was possible. That being said, just because this worked super well for me doesn't necessarily mean it'll work super well for you, everyone's skin is different! I will also add that the serum itself works very well on my oily skin. It's not drying, sticky, and it seems to absorb into my skin well, which is an issue I have with other products. A few minutes after applying it, I don't feel it whatsoever, both in feeling and appearance. You don't need very much of it either, which is pretty common in retinol, to my knowledge, but I really like that I can use just a teeny tiny bit every so often and still have results. Definitely worth a try if you're considering it for acne scar reduction.

No skin irritation. Ingredients such as retinol help with wrinkles and are very effective. 2 pumps is all you really need as the consistency isn’t thick, so it spreads easily and the product will last longer.

This retinol serum has a lightweight texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly into the skin. It layers well with other skincare products and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy after application. With regular use, my skin started to look smoother and more even in tone. The formula feels fairly gentle for a retinol product, although it can cause slight dryness at first, so using a good moisturizer alongside it is helpful. Overall, it’s a well-formulated retinol serum that works well as part of a consistent skincare routine, especially for those starting with retinol products.

This product, along with four others recommended by ChatGPT to help fade sun and aging spots, has worked remarkably well. One of the other products I use with it, which is an essential product, is Timeless 20% Vitamin C. Along with it, I alternate between CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum and Paula'sChoice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant for my nose. This combination has worked better in 3 weeks than anything my dermatologist has given me. The lineup of products or perhaps $50 in total, all purchased on Amazon, adds a good price, and 3 weeks later, I can't begin to tell you how an 85% lightning of age and sunspots on my face and arms, feel so good.

This stuff is amazing and not just for the price point! I saw my skin clearing and texture improving within a week…I used it every day first week and definitely got some drying out . But also got some nice smoothing and even a little glow. Will switch now to every other day, but do not sleep on this product!

This stuff is incredible! I use this in the morning under my makeup and a retinol serum at night and the results are fantastic. I hardly ever get zits and my skin tone is so much better that I feel like I don't need to wear foundation. I'm 42 and have dealt with acne since I was 10 - this product has helped completely change how I feel about the skin on my face.

I gave this 3 stars because I still believe it's likely a good quality product. However, for me, the 2 stars I deducted are because it broke me out. A lot. I followed the suggestions on not using it too frequently to start, especially since it did immediately give me one, then 2 acne bumps. I tried it 3-4 times over the course of a couple of weeks with several days between each application, but ultimately ended up with at least 5 very red, very visible pimples -- one on my right cheek, left cheek, chin, upper lip, and between my eyebrows. Now, how do you hide that? And they came after I stopped using it. On another note, I read more on it and found that it can happen because of a "purge" type effect, but (a) when is a good time for multiple, big pimples, and (b) when I get them, they aren't simple. They fester and are angry, and they don't just calm down and go away. They're problematic for weeks. For reference, I have had off and on issues with adult acne over the years, but I figured out what bothers my skin and haven't had pimple issues for about a year now, so I know it's this and possibly this along with another CeraVe product I tried -- PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion. (I'll note here that I got a couple of other items but didn't apply them to these areas, so I'm pretty sure it's not those. Those others include CeraVe Renewing Vitamin C Eye Cream and Renewing Eye Cream for Wrinkles.) I've used the PM Lotion before and had an occasional breakout, but wasn't sure if it was that or other acne issues I had during that time. However, I can say with almost certainty that this Serum is a or the reason for my current breakouts. I've attached 6 pictures to show the breakouts/pimples I have that are still healing over a week after discontinuing use so you'll get an idea and see that these aren't typical acne, breakout-area bumps but instead, are in spots you don't usually get individual, stand-alone bumps. No makeup, of course. Vulnerable and full face disclosure, so no gasps! lol If you want to try this, definitely do only one area for a week or so to see how you'll react, rather than risk acne all over your face. Perhaps try your forehead only, or your chin only, etc. I really wish it didn't affect me like it did. I don't have super-sensitive skin; only somewhat sensitive skin, with only a few products. So take that into account when you consider this product for yourself. I really wanted to embrace this one because with my aging skin, I would love to find a product that can help smooth things out. If this review helps you, please go ahead and give it a like! God bless and have a great day. We're all beautiful in our own way -- lotions, potions, or no-tions. ;)

I recommend for sensitive skin and who start to use retinol cerave retinol is best for sensitive skin

Great product and results are noticeable within 10 days

Very good quality for skin improvement and clarity

Good product, but do not over use. Apply a pea size amount of product in your cleansed and moisturised face 2 to 3 times in a week. Apply at night.
