    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.

    Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    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 wasn’t 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. It’s an effective and affordable choice.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good for an OTC retinoid
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025
    Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    A few years ago, this product was just a penny in the fountain—a glimmer of hope for my skin. My face and body were ridden with scars, and I wasn’t 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 — it wasn’t thick or heavy and felt almost like a moisturizer.

    After a few months of daily use, the retinol’s 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. I’ve since been on tretinoin, but I couldn’t have gotten here without this product.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Review of CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum
    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024
    Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    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, I’ve 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 niacinamide—an impressive combination that works to fade marks, reduce redness, and improve the skin’s barrier. It’s also non-comedogenic, so it doesn’t 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 doesn’t cause irritation, thanks to its inclusion of ceramides. It absorbs quickly and layers well with other skincare products.

    If you’re looking for a lightweight, effective serum to tackle post-acne concerns and improve overall skin tone, CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is definitely worth trying.

    I’m a 50+ year-old woman who’s been dealing with both fine lines and dark spot marks, and I’m really impressed with the results from the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum. After using it for a few weeks, I’ve noticed my skin is smoother, my pores look smaller, and those stubborn dark spots are slowly fading.

    The serum has a lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. It helps brighten my complexion without causing dryness or redness. Plus, I don’t have to worry about clogged pores, which is a big concern for me.

    Overall, this is a great option for mature skin looking to address signs of aging. I’m excited to keep using it and see even more improvement! Highly recommend it for anyone in their 40s or 50s with similar skin concerns.

    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
