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.

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.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
The first order of this facial serum I received was damaged; the box was smushed and there was no seal on the item. I requested a return/replacement of the same item, hoping it was just a one time fluke, and indeed it was. The replacement I received arrived fairly quickly, the packaging was much better and in good shape. Upon opening the box I was glad to find the product didn't look as though it had been used this time.

As for the serum itself, I've not been using it for very long, BUT it does actually seem to be making a difference on my skin already! The fine lines around my mouth and between my eyebrows are a little less noticeable- to me at least. My pores look a bit smaller too, which is nice. And I really like that it doesn't leave an oily sheen to my skin like some similar products I have tried in the past; whenever a product makes me look so oily and shiny, it makes me only want to use it at night. And while I do think products like this are best applied at night anyhow, at least if it's something one would only want to use once a day, I like that I can use this one in the morning if I prefer to. It feels good on my skin and I actually feel a little more confident with it.

Note: A little goes a long way. No need to go wild with it. I recommend trying a pea sized amount to begin with, give yourself a minute to let it absorb and THEN if you feel like you need a little more, find what works for you.

And lastly I'll add that I'm always a little skeptical of retinol products when I look at the ingredient list and 'retinol' is not within the first 5 ingredients. So I was a little hesitant to try this because it's like the 16th or 17th ingredient! I have avoided trying products in the past solely because of things like that. BUT I gave it a go because I've happily been using Cera Ve face wash and moisturizers (facial and body) for quite a while now and I do trust the brand. *I swear that ever since I stopped my old & complicated multi-step skin-care regimen (that consisted of 8,000 different products and brands), to a simple and clean Cera Ve routine, my skin has thanked me for it! I think it's one of those "less is more" things.*

Anyway, I am very glad I gave it a chance and didn't let the first product arriving damaged deter me from trying it altogether, as I'm often wont to do.

Geez. This is like, the longest review I've ever written. I guess I just want some people to know that it *can* sometimes be helpful to your skin when you go the simple and gentle route.

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.
