CeraVe Anti Aging Retinol Serum | Cream Serum for Smoothing Fine Lines and Skin Brightening | With Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and Ceramides | 1 Ounce

I've used all the retinol creams on the market.... Trinny London (£69)... Paula's choice (also expensive but U can get a tiny bottle - a week's worth of treatment for £14).. The Ordinary's latest retinol cream which is great but, due to being used at night it stained my pillows! And, I've used prescription retinol from Skin & Me. This is a milder formula but, it absolutely does the job, it isn't expensive, irritating or staining! This is the 2nd time I've bought it and I'll continue to buy it as well. It isn't greasy or thick, it has a pale yellow colour (as retinol SHOULD have). It doesn't dry my skin out like all the other retinols did, and that's probably due to the Hyaluronic acid in the formula. It's creamy and easy to apply.... after cleansing and toning. It totally prevents spots and my skin is glowy and healthy looking. It's really smoothed out my uneven skin tone and at 47yrs old my skin is the best it's ever been in my life! I used it every night with a rich nightcrr over it then, in the morning I use cleansing balm to remove it but, I don't double cleanse as I feel that might irritate my skin. I then apply a veramide serum, am Alpha Arbutin serum (which totally takes away the slight redness caused by the retinol) followed by a vitamin C serum, a light moisturiser then SPF50++++ which is essential after retinol as retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. I use for 28days as that's how long it takes for the epidermis to heal and repair itself, then I take a 2 week break where I'm using collagen sheet masks and turmeric masks at night before Hyaluronic acid serum and my night cream. I also do micro needling during my break time from retinol followed by a collagen serum and then ceramidesm This gives your skin a boost and makes your skin noticeable plumper. I do this to give my skin a break from the retinol and so I can focus on moisturising and helping collagen stimulation Soooo, this retinol will remain part of my skincare routine cos it's absolutely brilliant and great value for money. And retinol DOES erase fine lines with persistent use I took this photo yesterday, there is no filter on it and I'm 47 years old. I recommend this 100% and will be totally gutted if it's ever discontinued! Took this photo earlie

Very good rentinol serum, even i am allergic skin, it suits me and i can see the effect of brightening skin.

I really like this serum. It’s lightweight, absorbs well, and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. After a few weeks, I noticed my skin looking smoother and more even. It’s also great that it has hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it feels very gentle for a retinol product. The only downside is the size. It’s quite a small bottle for the price, so it runs out quickly if you’re using it regularly. Still, it’s a good product if you’re looking for something that works without being too harsh.

-Been a fan since day one. Very good product

I'm a huge fan of retinol. l do try to be consistent in using skin care products, but life happens, and i often find i sometimes am in a rush so can, and often do, go for a few days without applying skin care products. After recieving the CeraVe retinol i made an effort to make sure i use it daily. After 3 weeks of applying daily, i noticed some changes in skin texture and fine lines, i must say, i am pleasantly surprised with the results. I would suggest that in order to see any favourable results, there definitely needs to be consistency in usage. Overall, happy with the product and will re-order once finished.

I never seen any results but everyone is different. I’ve very intolerant skin so maybe that’s the reason. I just think there’s better for a better price.

This product is the best retinol I’ve used! I’ve used other known brands and had trouble with dry skin around my eyes and no obvious results; I’m talking over a five year period so I’ve given them some time! Brought this to try due to the fore mentioned irritated skin but wasn’t expecting anything different than previous brands! Well I’m blown away ! The next day my skin looked almost like it was airbrushed/had blurry filter on .. that’s the only way I can think to describe it! It’s light absorbs almost instantly and doesn’t leave a slick residue on my hands! The scent is light and two pea sized pumps do my face and neck so I’m also using less ! I still have a tiny bit of dry skin at the corner of my eye but hardly any compared to previous products so worth a try if you’re sensitive to retinol! Just feels more gentle than previous brands and hardly any yellow transfer ! Arrived super quick so I would highly recommend seller and product!!

After 2 months of using the product daily I didn't notice any difference at all. So I moved onto a different retinol that was just a 0.05% concentration and my skin began purging. After 2 months of using cerave retinol with no irritation, the fact I started purging leads to me to believe this retinol is below a concentration of even 0.05% as skin should only purge when increasing your retinol percentage. So cerave must be below 0.05%. Cerave also refuses to share the percentage of retinol on their products saying "its proprietary" which is very suspicious as retinol percentage is something you want to advertise, except of course when it's very very low. The product label also says it can be used twice a day, retinol should not be used twice a day as that would be irritating to the skin, unless again there's hardly any actual retinol in the product. I did experience no irritation when using this product despite being new to retinol, I experienced no purging when using cerave, despite being new to retinol. All of this and the fact I haven't seen any results after 2 months of daily use makes me think the retinol percentage is ludicrously low and thus ineffective, and the fact cerave refuses to share that information doesn't clear anything up.

Nice product and great texture !! Perfect Packaging !

Added this to my skincare routine and it’s playing well with my other products. I am seeing brighter skin. I like that the retinol is encapsulated. I recently learned that retinol degrades fairly quickly after opening products that aren’t encapsulated. It’s non-greasy and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and soft. The pump works fine, so far. The consistency is good. Not too thin but not too thick. Priced comparable to similar products. It’s fragrance free which is a plus.

A penas llevo un mes de uso y tengo entendido que este tipo de productos lleva su tiempo para poder ver mejorías. Por ahora puedo comentar que soy de piel sensible y no me ha irritado. Me gusta que se siente ligero y además no tiene aroma. Lo he estado usando solamente por las noches, la primer semana lo usé sólo una noche y a partir de la segunda me animé a usarlo dos noches a la semana alternando con otro serum que es de ácido salicílico. No he tenido problemas, aunque alguna vez he llegado a sentir la cara un poquito sensible (nada preocupante) y esa noche prefiero aplicar solamente mi crema reparadora. También he procurado evitar usarlo si tengo planeado exponerme mucho al sol al día siguiente y todos los días uso protector solar reaplicando cada 3 horas. Hasta el momento no he notado mejorías con este producto en específico, pero como dije, llevo poco tiempo de uso. Actualizaré la reseña si veo cambios. Edición: Van para 11 meses con la misma botellita su uso ha sido gradual por eso ha rendido bastante bien, actualmente lo uso de 3 noches por semana y ya está por acabarse. Ahora con tantos meses de uso sí que puedo asegurar que el producto funciona. Al inicio tenía un poco de miedo porque es el primer retinol que utilizo y soy de piel sensible, pero siento que fue un gran acierto empezar con éste porque ha sido muy noble con mi piel y he visto muy buenos resultados. Aunque alterno el uso de ese serum con otros, siento que en definitiva éste si ha hecho una gran aportación para tener una piel más lisa y con vida, además las manchas que tengo se han disimulado. Pienso que volveré a comprarlo antes de intentar con otro más potente.

This has earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine. I use it a few times a week and the results have been genuinely noticeable, smoother skin texture and a general improvement in how my face looks and feels over time. The formula is gentle enough that I haven't experienced any irritation or sensitivity, which was a concern going in since retinol can be harsh. The encapsulated retinol approach seems to release it gradually rather than hitting your skin all at once. It absorbs quickly, isn't greasy, and layers well under moisturiser. At around $40 for a 30ml bottle, it's significantly more affordable than many retinol serums on the market while delivering the same active ingredient backed by CeraVe's ceramide-based formulation. If you're looking to add retinol to your routine without spending a fortune, this is a smart starting point.
