It’s okay. Very gentle and doesn’t irritate my ski
No scent, which is nice. Feels slightly tight at first but nothing bad. The texture is smooth and lightweight, though it can pill if you use too much or layer too quickly. Consistency is thin and easy to spread, but overall it’s just okay—nothing wow.

One of my go-to budget retinol serums
I’ve been using this retinol serum consistently at night, and honestly, it’s one of my favorites when I want results without irritation. The formula uses encapsulated retinol — meaning it delivers the retinol more slowly so my skin doesn’t freak out on me — and it’s paired with hydrating hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides to keep my skin calm and moisturized while the retinol gets to work. When I first started, I eased into it a few times a week, and that really helped with the slight dryness you can get with retinol at first. Over a few weeks, I noticed my skin started looking smoother, a bit more radiant, and my fine lines seemed softer — without the redness or peeling that other retinols have given me. What I like: Lightweight, non-greasy texture that layers well under moisturizer. Helps refine skin texture over time. Great for retinol beginners or if you want something gentle. What I don’t love as much: You do need sunscreen every morning when using this — retinol makes skin more sun-sensitive. Results are gradual, so patience (and consistency) are key.

Good but pills
I think that this a good cheaper retinol product. My skin is sensitive and I haven’t had any reactions. However, this product pills with the rest of my skincare so I’ve avoided using it

Good retinol
This retinol cream is awesome. I actually ran out a little while ago and need to re-purchase. It worked really well getting rid of the texture and red bumps on my forehead. It absorbs quickly and has a mild scent. You do need to wear a good sunscreen with it.

Very effective retinol
I use a small drop of this every night and it works wonders for my skin. It feels very gentle but effective on my skin and does not cause any peeling. It is extremely effective and lasts for a very long time, and the cheaper price makes it of extreme value. It making my previously bumpy skin very smooth.

Great serum with retinol 🍃
I love this serum. You can feel the instant glow on the skin after using it. Helps with breakouts and pores. And it’s perfect to use before applying makeup on your face. With just one squish it’s enough for the whole face.

Get rid of those fine lines!!
I’d give this product a solid four stars. This product delivers real results, but there’s definitely a learning curve. When I first started using my skin experience and irritation and dryness so easy in slowly as key. Once my skin adjusted, I noticed smoother texture and more refined look overall. I appreciate the fragrance free and includes Sarah to support the skin barrier. It’s a great affordable option for beginners willing to be patient and intentional with usage and moisturizing.

Not for me
I'm in my 40s with dry skin, and honestly? Meh. I prefer the cerave skin resurfacing retinol serum. I tried this and didn't really like it. It was sticky, and my skin was oddly a little irritated after use. The resurfacing retinol serum was great, even though I never really had bad acne.

beautiful skin
I’ve been using the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum for several weeks, and I’m really pleased with the results. I started using it only a couple of times a week to avoid irritation, and that worked perfectly—no peeling, burning, or extreme dryness. Over time, I noticed my skin looks smoother, less textured, and a bit more even in tone. My pores also look slightly minimized. I really appreciate that the formula includes niacinamide and ceramides, because it keeps my skin hydrated while the retinol does its job. It’s not a miracle product and it doesn’t give overnight results, but if you’re consistent, you will definitely see improvements. For me, it’s a great option if you’re looking for a gentle, affordable, and effective retinol.

The CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum has been a great addition to my routine. The packaging is simple and easy to use, and the texture applies smoothly without feeling greasy. I really like how gentle it is compared to other retinol products — it absorbs well and doesn’t cause redness or irritation. After using it consistently, I noticed improvements in my skin texture and overall brightness. Fine lines look softer and my skin feels more refined. It’s an effective retinol option for beginners or anyone with sensitive skin who still wants visible results.

I've been using the CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum for a while and I like that it feels lightweight and absorbs fast. It doesn't have a strong scent, which I prefer. It can pill a little if | layer too many products under it, but when I keep my routine simple it wears nicely. I didn't get major breakouts, just a tiny purge at first. Overall, it made my skin look smoother and more even over time.

Not an Anti-Aging Skin Product; the Word "Retinol" for Marketing, not Actual Results
I have been using this for 3 months as a cheaper alternative to Caudalie, and there has been no change in my skin. If anything, I feel like some of the fine lines on my face have gotten deeper. I also read on here and other websites that there's not enough retinol in this to do anything. On CeraVe's own website, the retinol ingredient doesn't even appear until way later on the list.
