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 been using Cerave products for years on the recommendation of my dermatologist, and figured it was time to buy my first night serum, and decided to go with this trusted brand. What I love about this retinol containing serum is that it is gentle (re: mild) and it has an encapsulated retinol which is slowly released in the skin. I do eventually want to transition to a prescription retinoid, but am weary of some of the harsher side effects such as peeling and burning that their strength may cause, so wanted to build up gradually with this product. I really love it so far. My skin is visibly firmer after just a few weeks' usage and has a more even tone. This serum absorbs nicely into the skin, and the ceramides make the skin instantly supple. Love this product and would recommend it especially for those looking for a milder introduction before an eventual transition to a prescription product. Price is amazing for the high quality ingredients.

works great and it is a good price

I tried this as a sample that came with the CeraVe nighttime face lotion. In just the few times that the sample provided, I was impressed with the results, so I have already purchased two more containers. I have purchased many beauty products and I can say that this one provides results. I have a few wrinkles around my eyes, I'm not really worried about them, but what I am worried about are the spots on my face left by the desert sun. They are diminishing. I only use this at night but my results have been great for an over the counter product. I hope they do not change the ingredients any time soon. Thank you for making such great skin care products, CeraVe.

This cream is not magic in a bottle but it is probably the best thing on the market under 100 dollars (if not more). It is certainly the best thing you could possibly buy at a drug store (belive me-I tried so many things). In fact, it is likely that it is better than most things at ANY store! I have a lot of chemical sensitivities to smells and to anything I put on my skin and Cerave products (including this serum) not only do not break my skin but also actually work! The fact they don't have a scent is an added (and for me/important) bonus! After doing a lot of research I knew I would need a face serum with retinoids for exfoliation and for combatting age (early 30s). I am fortunate to have good genetics (and a mother that made me use sunblock all the time growing up) and after using this, and other Cerave products, actually have gotten compliments and statements about looking quite a bit younger (a whole decade even) than I really am! I really believe this cream has HELPED me to look younger. I have used Cersve moisturizer for awhile so it seemed natural that I would try this. It was a great decision! My skin looks great and just glows. I use it every night and a tube has lass almost 3 months (one application is the size of a large pea). I'm not sure exactly what MVE technology is, but it works! Ceramides are a sort of fatty acid in the cell so I suppose it helps plump the skin-what ER they are they must work well in this cream too. If you are on the fence about buying this product I would really recommend that you go ahead and try it (FYI-it's 3 dollars cheaper on Amazon thanI have seen it anywhere else)! Next to just a horrible skin reaction(spot test first!) you won't be disappointed! I pair this product with Cerave PM Moisturizer at night and a Vitamin C serum during the day along with the Cerave AM Moisturizing Lotion. I also use the Cerave eye cream, and Cerave moisturizing Face Wash and the regular Cerave Mosturizimg Body lotion! For tt price point, and after years of trying different things, as well as reading about different ingredients I am sold on these products. I have a new niece and nephew due in March and he/she will receive a basket of the Cerave baby products! I wish Cerave would make a product with Vitamin C in it and Masks with Glycolic Acid, that way I would be able to use just their products!

This is the best skin product ever. I have signs of rosacea and this totally takes the redness away!! Don’t ask me how, but all I know is, it works! I actually found this product by accident. My Dermatologist gave me a prescription for Rosacea and when I went to fill it at the Pharmacist, he said it was going to be $108.00 for a small tube! I said never mind. I happened to buy this CeraVe Serum and put it on for my face, for the fine lines on my face. Not only did it help with that, but my signs and of the Rosacea had disappeared as well! Now I use it just for that. I apply it only to the areas where I need it. Love it!!! Thank you CeraVe for saving me A LOT of money!

I brought this product after seeing a YouTube video recommend it as the anti-aging serum that that most affordable, and this is my third tube. Immediately after applying, the serum does leave a layer on your face that takes a while to absorb. It doesn't leave any particular feeling (not greasy, not dry) after. I am at my early thirties and starting to show signs of aging such as crows' feet, sunken cheeks, eye bags, and enlarged pores. So far I have not noticed any particular impact but I was also told that effect is subtle and slow. I guess the product lives up to that description for now. But we shall see what happens when I get to the 10th tube!

I have rosacea and I've tried so many products that I've lost count. They either made my face more red or there was no noticeable difference. Now, I've finally found a brand that works for me :) Not only do I have the redness from rosacea, but also the extremely dry, flakey skin and red bumps. I use four of the CeraVe skin products: Renewing SA Cleanser for normal skin, Skin Renewing Night cream, Skin Renewing Cream Serum, and the Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30. No more dry, flakey skin, red bumps, and only minimal redness. I apply this serum after cleansing and before I apply my makeup. I wait about 20 - 30 minutes before applying my makeup and it goes on flawlessly. I am so happy that I finally found a product that works with my sensitive skin!
