Good for acne
I loved this serum, I used a whole bottle of it and if I hadn't switched to retinal instead of retinol, I'd probably still be using this. I found best results using it every other day but it definitely depends on the skin type. I'm not sure how different it really is from other retinol serums, but it works and is quite affordable.
Resurfacing and gentle
CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is gentle serum to reduce wrinkle and dark spots and without irritation and drying effect on skin
Not the best retinol
This is an ok entry level retinol and felt ok when I was using it but I noticed that my fine lines and wrinkles started to get worse rather than better when using it, after I switched back to my original retinol my skin improved immediately. I would not recommend this.

Great
Really helps smooth texture and fade marks over time without irritation. Lightweight, layers well, and keeps skin looking clearer.
Gentle but effective
Another great product from a reliable skincare brand. This retinol is great for anyone starting out on their retinol journey or with sensitive skin. It’s gentle and never caused me and skin issues when i started using it, but gave brilliant results, after a couple of months my skin looks so much better and I’ve been asked a few times what I’ve been using, and I think it’s all down to this product
Good starting point
If you’ve never used retinol before then this is a good product to try out to see if your skin likes it and is able to tolerate it. This product is gentle yet effective. You can see and feel the difference from using it. I use it on my face and neck.

CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum
CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is a fantastic option for improving skin texture and reducing the look of post-acne marks without being too harsh. The formula combines encapsulated retinol with ceramides and niacinamide, which helps smooth and refine the skin while supporting the skin barrier. I noticed my skin feeling softer and looking more even after a few weeks of consistent use. It’s gentler than many other retinol products I’ve tried, making it a good choice for beginners or those with sensitive skin. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly and layers well under moisturizer. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that results take patience — it’s not an overnight fix, and you need to commit to regular use to see noticeable changes. Also, if your skin is extremely sensitive, you may still experience some mild dryness or purging at first. Overall, it’s a well-formulated, dermatologist-recommended serum that delivers real results over time without the intense irritatio
