I’ve been using the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m impressed with how gentle it is—especially for a retinol product.
👍 What I Like: DISCLAIMER EVERYONES SKIN IS DIFFERENT!
Gentle on my skin. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, and this serum didn’t sting or cause irritation, even when I used it a few nights in a row.
Helps fade post-acne marks. After consistent use, I noticed old acne scars looking a bit lighter and less angry. It's not instant, but it works over time.
Niacinamide is a plus. It seems to calm my skin while helping with texture, and I think it helped reduce redness around old breakouts.
No fragrance. Huge bonus. Doesn’t smell like anything weird, and didn’t clog my pores (non-comedogenic as promised).
Lightweight texture. Absorbs quickly and layers well with moisturizer or other products in my nighttime routine.
👎 What Could Be Better:
Slow results. You definitely have to be patient. This isn’t a magic overnight fix—it took about 3–4 weeks before I noticed real improvement in my skin tone and texture.
Not super hydrating. If your skin is dry, you’ll need to layer a solid moisturizer on top.
Pump design can waste product. The pump dispenses a bit too much sometimes—makes it easy to overuse, especially with a 30ml bottle.
If you’re new to retinol or want a reliable serum that helps with acne marks, uneven tone, and skin texture—without burning your face off—this is a great pick.
I am purging rn so I do have acne we will see how it is!
