CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum For Post Acne Marks, Formulated With Licorice Root Extract & Niacinamide, Brightening Serum & Pore Minimizer For Face, Post Acne Skin Barrier Repair, Non-Comedogenic

I’ve been using this retinol serum for a while now and I really like it. With regular use, it has helped make my skin look smoother, more even, and improved the appearance of post-acne marks without being too harsh. The texture is lightweight, absorbs nicely, and layers well with the rest of my skincare. I also like that it feels hydrating and has not irritated my skin. It’s a great beginner-friendly retinol and has worked very well for me. I would definitely buy it again.

Amazing product. It’s helped my skin so much. The redness from healing zits have gone way down to almost completely gone and my skin feels amazing!

This product has given me fantastic results after just a little over a week of use. I’ve been dealing with random breakouts and stubborn visible pores on my nose for a couple of years now and nothing seemed to help. I started using this retinol daily after my shower and I have had no breakouts, my pores are no longer an issue, my complexion seems more even and smooth in general, and even the faint lines starting to appear on my forehead have almost disappeared entirely. I was not expecting such dramatic results this quickly so I am very pleased and will be using this product religiously from now on. Just for context, I use a biore charcoal face wash in the shower, I apply the retinol immediately after getting out, and just a few minutes later I follow up with a face moisturizer/sunscreen combo. The retinol does not take long to absorb completely and does not leave any oily or greasy feeling. Love this product and it’s not overly expensive!

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.

I’m a guy and I have somewhat oily skin. I don’t normally put any products on my skin because I don’t like the way that they feel. But I’ve developed a couple of dark spots from being in the sun a lot so I wanted to try this. The good thing is I don’t really feel this product on my skin after it dries so that is a major plus for me. I was not expecting much from this product but about 10 days after I started putting it on I really noticed an improvement. The main thing is that I can hardly see the pores on my face anymore. I couldn’t believe it - I thought that was just the way my skin was. And my skin just looks better overall - more even and less blemishes. So this will definitely be a part of my daily routine. I will say that it didn’t do much for the dark spots from what I can perceive so I started dabbing on some fade cream with a Q-tip on those specific spots - and I’m not sure that’s even really working. Guess they’re pretty stubborn.

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.

I've only been using this product for 1 week and can already see a significant lightening of my dark spots! It's light-weight, non-greasy, and my skin looks smoother and more even without any irritation or sensitivity. I've paid $40+ for other products that didn't work as well and highly recommend giving this one a try!

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

I was hesitant to order it at first as I'm not sure if it will work with my oh so sensitive skin. But it really is effective! Been using it just over a few days and I can definitely feel that my face is more smooth and pores has shrunk! I guess it really is worth the hype!!

Very good quality for skin improvement and clarity

Skin friendly and good wuality
