Affordable, Quality & Non-Irritating
Let me just say that this retinol is simply amazing. Aside from being affordable for the average person, it is irritating which is perfect because my skin can be sensitive to AHAs/BHAs & Retinol type products. This does not leave my skin feeling dry or red. Also, I have noticed it helps with dark marks and fine lines.

Great product at a great price
I recently decided to introduce retinol into my skincare routine, and love my other cerave products so figured I would look to them first. I wasnât disappointed. This serum has quickly minimzed dark spots from previous breakouts and has actually helped smooth the keratosis pilaris bumbs on my cheeks too (not gone but definitely less rough). I never expected any miracles but I have definitely noticed a more even skin tone since adding this to my nighttime routine. It is pretty lightweight, absorbs quickly thought it does leave a bit of a sheen so best to use at night. Itâs an effective and affordable choice.

Good for an OTC retinoid
A few years ago, this product was just a penny in the fountainâa glimmer of hope for my skin. My face and body were ridden with scars, and I wasnât sure this product could help. But I underestimated it.It takes time to see results, and although I initially doubted the product, it only takes a minute or two to apply. And as a secondary incentive, it absorbs well and brightens your skin just a tad. I distinctly remember it felt good on my skin â it wasnât thick or heavy and felt almost like a moisturizer.After a few months of daily use, the retinolâs collagenic effects began to shine. Some of my surface level scars were already smoothing over. And eventually, even my deepest scars became marginally less definitive.It gave me hope that treatment was possible, so I saw a dermatologist. Iâve since been on tretinoin, but I couldnât have gotten here without this product.

Not a bad OTC Retinol product, but results are questionable
I bought the CeraVe Retinol Serum because I wanted a retinol product in my skincare routine and I trust this brand. I have it all, combination super oily skin that can also get dry/flakey, textured, acne scarring, uneven tone, large pores, acne prone, sensitive skin. This is my honest review after using the whole bottle.The price is fair, the product isn’t too thick and goes on evenly/smoothly, dries well on the skin without any residue, unscented, and didn’t irritate or overdry my sensitive skin.I personally didn’t notice any drastic results, but my skin didn’t have any negative reactions either. My texture and scarring is pretty significant so I ended up switching to a stronger Retinoid which helps me better.All in all, this might be helpful for minor skin resurfacing but it just wasn’t strong enough for me. I would recommend it still though if you only need some minor improvements since it is much less harsh on the skin than Retinoids and is easier to access.Hope this helps!

Works right away UPDATE!
Updated review: People of EVERY age need this product! I’ve officially been using it for three months, and not only did it literally erase the freckles off of my face, but I no longer have the deep 11 lines between my eyes anymore. Not to mention that when I started using this product, I had terrible breakouts of acne in my T-zone due to hormonal changes related to peri-menopause and for at least the last month, I have not had a single pimple or blackhead anywhere on my face despite having made no changes to my diet, activity level, medications, etc. Acne was the reason I started using it, but getting rid of wrinkles is an absolutely acceptable side effect!All that said, I did have a long purge period (about 6 weeks), where I had to use blotting papers every couple of hours due to shine, and my breakouts were worse in the first couple of weeks of use. When I first reviewed it, the breakouts hadn’t started yet. I didn’t know what I was in for. I would wager it’s not suitable to those who are sensitive to retinol. But, if you’re willing to tough it out, you WILL be rewarded with smooth, acne-free, less wrinkled, even-toned skin.While it is heavy duty stuff, the formulation is not painful and does not burn or aggravate on contact. It’s actually kinda silky. It isn’t sticky or oily at all, and soaks in fairly quickly. I would highly suggest an oil-free moisturizer though, because as I said, the purging of oils is fairly extreme, but you need to moisturize or you’ll have dry spots/textured areas and redness. I would also suggest washing your face twice a day – when you wake up and before bed. Also, try to avoid getting it in the under eye area, because it’s probably too harsh for that area (though I have accidently got it there and nothing happened, but the skin in that area is likely too sensitive for something this strong being frequently applied).No exaggeration, the skin on my face is so smooth that after my routine, I have to use setting powder on my forehead because it is SO shiny! It’s not oil, though; it’s just that smooth. I also no longer have freckles on my face. If you can handle acne issues getting worse before they get better and you stick with it, you won’t be sorry. My skin looks better than it has since before puberty, and I’m almost 42. This serum is definitely under-rated considering its price and effectiveness. Everyone needs to know about this stuff!! Don’t forget the foaming acne face wash, and I would also recommend a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment for those early weeks, but definitely not absolutely necessary, because I no longer need one. It will eventually improve just by using this product.Unless you already have perfect skin, you definitely need this serum!Original review: I paired this with the Cerave foaming acne cleanser. I have very oily skin – especially since peri-menopause has kicked in, and just washing my face twice daily isn’t enough to keep it smooth and clean…until now. These two products used together are my new twice daily ritual. I could probably even get away with just using them once a day, and may do that if they become drying or irritating, but so far, after three days, this has been the perfect combination for my face. Now, if I can only find an under eye serum, my entire facial routine will be all set. lol

Review of CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum
The CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is a game-changer for anyone dealing with post-acne marks and uneven skin texture. After a few weeks of consistent use, Iâve noticed a visible reduction in the appearance of dark spots and smoother, brighter skin overall.This serum is formulated with retinol, licorice root extract, and niacinamideâan impressive combination that works to fade marks, reduce redness, and improve the skinâs barrier. Itâs also non-comedogenic, so it doesnât clog pores, which is crucial for acne-prone skin.One of the things I appreciate most is how gentle it is. While some retinol products can be harsh, this one feels hydrating and doesnât cause irritation, thanks to its inclusion of ceramides. It absorbs quickly and layers well with other skincare products.If youâre looking for a lightweight, effective serum to tackle post-acne concerns and improve overall skin tone, CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is definitely worth trying.

Realmente se siente la diferencia desde la primera aplicación, la piel se siente más suave y lisa, tiene concentraciones muy bajas de retinol que no irritan la dermis, lo recomiendo para quienes no toleran el retinol ni siquiera al 0.1% , este es un buen comienzo
