The CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum is a super gentle retinol, perfect for someone who hasn't used any retinol products before, or someone who doesn't like anything too harsh. I currently use a prescribed high strength retinol so my skin is very used to it BUT I found this to be surprisingly good. It's definitely a lot more gentle but as an every night retinol, it was very nice to use. The pump is great. It dispenses just the right amount and doesn't splurt the product out. The product itself is light weight and absorbs very quickly into the skin and doesn't leave any nasty residue. After several weeks of use, in conjunction with other CeraVe products (I stopped my other retinol entirely over this time) overall, I was very happy.

My skin looks nice and bright in the morning and after moisturiser and a good SPF, I feel like my skin is nice and plump and hydrated. My fine lines don't look anywhere near as harsh as they used to either. Overall a very nice product for a fraction of the price of other retinols. Definitely a good product to add to your nighttime skincare routine.

I at in my mid 20s and live in a hot climate near the beach and with such high amounts of sun exposure, anti-aging skin products are very important to me. I like my skin products to let me skin breathe and to not be sticky during the day. I have used this CeraVe Skin renewing retinol serum every night for four weeks as part of my nightly skin care routine. I usually use this cream in the middle of my regimen and I am not an expert in skin care, it’s the just regimen that I have found works for my skin.

It seems to all work well together and I wake up in the morning with nice, clear and plump skin. At first I saw the small tube and thought it was quite small, and that maybe it wouldn’t last very long. However I only use about a pea size every night, and after one month I have really used much. I am imagining it will last quite a few months. I chose to use this small amount as I find that its enough to cover my entire face and neck effectively. The serum itself is very smooth and moderately thick, more of a creamy texture than I expected with a serum (I am used to them being a little less viscous, a little less creamy and a little more sticky in consistency). Nevertheless, it was very smooth and went on to the skin beautifully. It didn’t make any of my other products pill or react weirdly with the other products and I have had occur with different products in the past. It absorbed quickly into the skin and didn’t leave any stickiness or residue. I found that the serum did not at all irritate my skin or give me any reactions. I usually don’t have sensitive skin though; however I would say this serum would be good for sensitive skin compared to other retinols as they can be notoriously irritating. I did trial a small amount of the product on my hand to ensure I got no reaction. I liked it because it also didn’t have any fragrances (at least that I could smell) or any strong colouring – it was just an off yellow colour and I think it just lets the ingredients speak for themselves. The tube itself consists of simple packaging with a little pump top. It allows you to easily control the amount of product to use. It probably is too soon to tell if it has had any anti-aging or anti-wrinkle effects (I would say four weeks is too soon to tell) but I will keep using this serum as part of my daily routine regardless in hopes of getting the long term benefits that come with using retinol products. I will continue using this product and would be happy to recommend it to friends and family!

I was lucky enough to receive this serum along with the vitamin C serum and night cream from the CeraVe range to trial and review. I have an existing retinol serum that I love, and others that I have tried haven't really compared, so I was really interested to try this one, especially as it contains ceramides as well, which my skin loves. I've got dehydrated, oily-combo skin with texture and hyperpigmentation that is blemish-prone, and can be quite reactive, and was so glad that this product didn't dry me out or irritate my skin. I stuck to my existing frequency of use, using this every third night, same as I did my existing serum, and in terms of results, it does compare to my considerably more expensive serum. My skin feels a tiny but less smooth in the mornings ... MoreI was lucky enough to receive this serum along with the vitamin C serum and night cream from the CeraVe range to trial and review.

Given my existing retinol has gone up in price and is acft8now just over double the price, I'll definitely repurchase when I can't quite justify my expensive one, because this is a great serum.

Wow another CeraVe product that has been developed well for the skin. This is the second product in the CeraVe range that I have tried and have had great results with. I am in my early flurries and needed to seriously start thinking about a good retinol product to keep my skin hydrated, smooth and plump and this product definitely won me over. The packaging is plain and simple but definitely don’t judge this book by it’s cover. The pump bottle the product comes in is fantastic and not only a great size to fit in your travel bag but easy enough to store at home without any fuss. The pump bottle generally dispenses enough for each use with one pump. I sometimes do two pumps to saturate the skin a bit more but it is not necessarily needed each time I just wanted a bit ... MoreWow another CeraVe product that has been developed well for the skin.

The pump bottle generally dispenses enough for each use with one pump. I sometimes do two pumps to saturate the skin a bit more but it is not necessarily needed each time I just wanted a bit more some evenings. The serum is lovely and light and not too thick for an evening product. I used in the evenings on a daily basis and found it spread evenly across my face and neck area and didn’t leave a greasy feeling afterwards. My skin absorbed this serum very well. I have sensitive skin however usually like something with a scent as I am lucky the scent doesn’t normally irritate my skin. This product doesn’t have a scent though which would suit most people it’s just a preference for me that I like. It certainly didn’t take away how well this product is performing. I used this product for a block of two weeks each evening after a hot shower and a face free of any other products. My face definitely is showing an even tone now and my skin is smooth and silky. Some of my fine lines around my lip area have reduced. I took photos for this one and could see a slight difference which was amazing. Although I received this product as a trial with the Beauty Crew I definitely feel that the price point for this serum matches what the product delivers. I feel CeraVe have put a great amount of effort and research into this product to ensure it backs up what it says it’s doing. I will continue to use this serum in the evenings and hope to see even better results as the nights go on. I would highly recommend this product for women of my age and skin type. Thank you CeraVe you have delivered another great product that will continue to be an addition to my daily routine and the life of my skin.
If you're semi lazy like me and don't have an extensive skincare ritual then this product is perfect! I used to just use a washable makeup remover pad and a supermarket brand moisturiser but did not see any improvement but kept on up because it was ingrained in me as something that you 'had to do' I am so pleased I got to trial the 3 piece CeraVe skincare set and I tell you what my skin has never looked better! I'm 47 but often get mistaken for a 30ish year old which is great. But since Covid my skin hasn't been the best with lack of care on my part The CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Retinol Serum is absolutely gorgeous. No wierd smell. Love the pump and it absorbs quickly and is not oily at all. And you don't even need to use much at all so the container will last ages ... MoreIf you're semi lazy like me and don't have an extensive skincare ritual then this product is perfect!

And you don't even need to use much at all so the container will last ages My 'other' moisturiser used to pill my skin shortly after application but this totally did not do that I can visibly see the redness being improved! Whilst I did have a few small breakouts as always with new products they cleared up quickly and revealed a beautifully soft even and dare I day it...glowing face! Please be aware that retinol does make your skin more susceptible to the UV rays so don't forget to add in SPF50 to your regime Go get it! 100000% totally worth it!
I've trialled this product for around four weeks now and am quite pleased with the results. My skin feels smoother in texture and more radiant with a reduction in the appearance of fine lines in my face. Easy to apply from the handy little pump pack - I much prefer my skin care products in either a swizzle tube or a pump dispenser as they protect the product inside from air and contamination from handling. Nice, silky textured serum which I smoothed into my face every second evening prior to using the CreaVe Skin Renewing Night Cream. It absorbed into the skin quite well without leaving a sticky residue and it is fragrance free, which is a bonus for me as my skin is sensitive and prone to rosacea.

I found trying it every second night was helpful in easing into the use of retinoids due to my sensitive skin, can cause some irritation and peeling otherwise in those with very sensitive skin. Thankfully this was not the case here! Important to note that it is recommended to use a SPF 50+ sunscreen with the use of retinoids as they can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Overall, a nice, silky serum to use that was beneficial in smoothing and brightening my skin whilst improving the texture. Happy to recommend!
I am a first time user of retinol so I was so excited to trial the CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum. I felt that this product was a good starter for first time retinol users because it is gentle on the skin and contains other beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid to plump and smooth the skin and niacinamide to help calm the skin. It’s a win win for me! In addition I had heard great things about retinol and its benefits but was always hesitant to try it due to my sensitive skin. I have been using this Retinol Serum for approximately one month and I am so impressed with results so far! I am in my 50s and I have a sensitive skin that reacts to highly perfumed products. I am also a combination skin type with an oily t zone and dry cheeks as well as an uneven ... MoreI am a first time user of retinol so I was so excited to trial the CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum.

It’s a win win for me! In addition I had heard great things about retinol and its benefits but was always hesitant to try it due to my sensitive skin. I have been using this Retinol Serum for approximately one month and I am so impressed with results so far! I am in my 50s and I have a sensitive skin that reacts to highly perfumed products. I am also a combination skin type with an oily t zone and dry cheeks as well as an uneven skin tone and pigmentation. I have a good skin care regime but I always felt I needed that special product to help with my wrinkles and mature skin and I think I found it! I started to introduce the retinol gradually to let my skin get used to this ingredient. I used it every second night for a week and then every night the second week gradually building up to every morning and night. I must say that the results have been quite impressive and so far there has been no irritation or reaction. So far so good! Firstly, I love the consistency of this product and the way it glides on and it absorbs beautifully into my skin leaving it feeling silky smooth. It has visibly improved the appearance of my fine lines and wrinkles. It has also improved my skin’s texture leaving it hydrated and looking smoother in appearance. People have actually commented on how radiant and smooth my skin looks and want to know what I’m using! I can honestly say that I will be using this product as a permanent part of my skin care regime. I also notice that it is quite hydrating but I still use my facial creams and always apply sunscreen after and it does not interfere with these products. I have definitely noticed a vast improvement in the texture and appearance of my skin. My skin has a firmer appearance and feels smoother and more plump. My wrinkles and fine lines also appear faded. I find an enormous difference when I use the retinol at night and wake in the morning to my skin that appears renewed, stronger and more youthful looking. My skin loves this product and the way it feels. The packaging is another big plus for me. It’s compact and convenient for travel and I love that it has an eco friendly pump. The pump bottle makes it super easy to control the dosage. I would 100% recommend the CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum for my age group and skin type.
I'm 39 with fair skin and my pores and skin texture is not what it used to be. I get some rougher dry skin around my mouth and my skin isn't as smooth, the pores larger. I have a cabinet of skin care and have tried a heck of a lot of brands and ingredients. I generally move towards proven well researched actives including retinol. CeraVe is generally a great brand and I'd trust putting any of their products on my skin unlike other brands that contain weird perfumes and preservatives that can irritate. So I'm very glad CeraVe brought out a product with retinol. It also contains niacinamide which is something I always use in my skin care routine as it helps unblock pores as well as the retinol. The ceramides in addition to those ingredients reality help hydrate and ... MoreI'm 39 with fair skin and my pores and skin texture is not what it used to be.

The ceramides in addition to those ingredients reality help hydrate and smooth the skin. I'm really happy with the texture of this product. I have no issues with absorption, stickiness, greasiness or pilling. If I have any of those issues with my skin care I'll generally not use them up. I'll be happy to use this product up though! The little mini pump bottle is very cute too. I like the packaging. This product layers well with the other ceraVe products as well as my other skin care. I have no problem there. This serum has helped smooth out my skin, unblock pores and congestion and help slightly with those fine lines. I find retinol doesn't make a huge difference when you first use it, it generally takes a long time to start working on those fine lines but you'll see pores reduce and smoothness increase pretty quickly. I do tend to get teething issues with retinol, because it unclogs skin, it might raise one of the black heads for example. It unclogs though and that really is the point of it including all the other benefits I've mentioned. This is a great addition to any skin care routine for ageing skin. I do find it's personally not my favourite anti ageing ingredient of all time though. I tend to go for others over this as they make more of a difference and suit my skin type more but the product itself is well made. The ingredients are tops! So if choosing a retinol you are definitely safe with ceraVe.
This retinol has really impressed me. I am an experienced retinol user and after 2+ weeks of trying this serum, it will definitely be a repurchase for me. I have also used the vitamin c from this range (will also be a repurchase) and have been using the retinol every night since I received it. I have experienced no irritation, reactions, dryness or flaking. This formula is beautiful - its thin, hydrating and spreads easily and evenly on the skin. It does not dry out or pill once absorbed. When I first started using retinol I wish this was on the market because its so easy to use, hydrates very well and is gentle! The packaging is great too - the pump bottle makes it simple to use and I get enough product to cover face and neck. If you try anything from the skin ... MoreThis retinol has really impressed me.

The packaging is great too - the pump bottle makes it simple to use and I get enough product to cover face and neck. If you try anything from the skin renewing range make it this retinol and the Vit C to get all the wonderful anti-ageing benefits. Since using the retinol I have noticed with consistent use, general overall brighter skin, even skin tone and fading of spots (I have also used the vit c in the mornings from this range) and have noticed great results with the two products. So impressed with this range and am glad to have found two key anti ageing products that are affordable and effective.
I decided to pick up Cerave's Skin Renewing Retinol serum back in November when I ran out of my previous retinol product (similar price point, also uses encapsulated retinol, seemed to be similar in terms of strength). I thought this serum would be better for my skin barrier during the winter given the ceramides, and I'd seen the brand's other retinol serum recommended. Final verdict after using 2-3 nights a week from November through April, though, is that it's a HARD pass and I can't recommend it. Like, I finally chucked it in the bin and switched to yet another similar retinol product from another brand and my skin is soooo much happier. First and foremost, there are simply better and more elegant retinol formulations out there in the $20-$30 price range.

First and foremost, there are simply better and more elegant retinol formulations out there in the $20-$30 price range. The texture is very watery, which did not feel pleasant to apply, and left behind a kind of tacky a dry feeling afterwards. I can't find any official info on the strength/percentage of this retinol dose, but I suspect it's much stronger than I thought, so the Cerave Skin Renewing retinol (blue) is probably a better one to try out first. So it's not something I'd buy again for those reasons - but also because using it has been an AWFUL experience for me personally. It wasn't ever painful upon application or anything, but it did still make my face feel somewhat more sensitized for a day or so sometimes. And despite sticking it out for so long to try and adjust to whatever exact dose this is, my skin simply didn't tolerate it or react well with it at all. For me, it's too harsh and drying (despite not actively feeling like it is?) or something, because the breakouts of persistent redness and whitehead clusters was REAL, and I could not keep under control while using this product. thankfully, within about a week of chucking it out, my face is finally returning to normal.
