CERAVE Resurfacing Retinol Serum 30 ml

This is truly amazing. I’m 41 and my face was looking old, my skin started to look dry and dull. I used this once and it completely changed my face, it was so smooth, I had an even texture and over and a georgous healthy glow. Honestly this is magic in a bottle

For someone with oily skin and early ageing signs, this is excellent. It’s helped my skin look and feel better. More even toned and looks brighter. Easy to use at night, feels lightweight. Will repurchase.

Non greasy, absorbed immediately, and I can see it's definitely left my skin smoother and has done a bit for the pores on my nose. I use it on my lips followed by castor oil and it's definitely made them softer. I think I'm ready for a stronger retinol as I didn't have any irritation from this one, even with daily use. My only complaint is that the little bottle is very small and it really doesn't last long, especially if you want to do your neck as well. So although it is inexpensive, there isn't much for the money. I'm going to try the Ordinary brand instead.

nice and very good serum

I have sensitive skin and used it once. It gave me a mild reaction. The bottle daus that if this happens then use it less often. I didn't want to mess around with my skin so use it as hand cream instead.

I’m converted to this stuff! I was a bit skeptical at first because of the lower retinol concentration and the price, but after just a few weeks of use I’ve already noticed a real difference. In summer I even use it as my moisturiser, so I don’t have to layer anything heavier on my skin. My red marks and blemishes have definitely reduced, and my skin looks overall more glowy and healthy. I have sensitive skin and haven’t had any issues with dryness or irritation, which is a big plus.

After applying this retinol serum, I noticed an effect on my face in less than a week. However a 30ml bottle costs £17.5, which is much expensive than The Ordinary’s retinol products.

Definitely makes your skin more firm and clearer. However, isn't really smoothing the appearance of some fine lines on my face. I would go with a stronger product, containing more collagen next time.

I recommend for sensitive skin and who start to use retinol cerave retinol is best for sensitive skin

Es un producto que hidrata sin dejar una sensación desagradable en la piel. Para quien tenga la piel grasa le va de lujo porque ayuda mucho con eso sin dejar sensación de sequedad

Excelente produto. Entrega dentro do prazo e veio bem embalado.

Ottimo, lo uso sotto la CC cream di giorno e sotto una crema idratante la sera Ultraidratante si assorbe bene e dalla consistenza si sente che non contiene porcherie Mi sta effettivamente aiutando anche a eliminare alcune crosticine di vecchi brufoli che non volevano lasciare il mio viso

One of the best budget-friendly retinol serums I’ve added to my routine! What I LIKE about it: 1) SMOOTHER, MORE EVEN SKIN — Within a couple of weeks, I noticed a visible improvement in texture. Little bumps looked flatter, post-acne marks started to fade, and the overall tone looked more refined. Nothing dramatic overnight, but the consistency pays off. 2) GENTLE BUT EFFECTIVE RETINOL — This is an encapsulated retinol formula, which basically means it delivers the active slowly and more gently. Great if you’ve reacted to stronger retinoids before. I get zero burning or peeling, just steady, controlled exfoliation. 3) NIACINAMIDE BOOST — I love that they paired retinol with niacinamide. It helps brighten, calm redness, and support the skin barrier at the same time. My skin feels more balanced and less “angry” on retinol nights. 4) CERAMIDES FOR REPAIR —Cerave always nails the barrier-supporting ingredients. While some retinols leave me dry around the nose or mouth, this one feels lightweight but still hydrating enough to prevent that tight, flaky feeling. 5) NON-STICKY, FAST-ABSORBING TEXTURE —It sinks in quickly, layers well under moisturiser, and doesn’t ball up under other products. Perfect for a simple night routine without feeling heavy or greasy. Not CONS really, just worth noting: 1) VERY GENTLE FORMULA —Because it’s mild, results are steady rather than fast. Great for beginners, sensitive skin, or anyone wanting maintenance, but if you’re used to stronger retinoids, you’ll need patience or it may feel too subtle. 2) CAN FEEL A LITTLE DRYING AT FIRST —This depends on your barrier. I had a tiny bit of dryness around week one, but it settled quickly with a good moisturiser. Overall: A fantastic entry-level retinol for smoothing texture, fading marks, and keeping the skin bright and clear without irritation. It’s reliable, affordable, and easy to slot into an existing routine. Perfect for those wanting consistent results without the drama of stronger formulas. I hope you found this review HELPFUL. Makes reviewing worthwhile. Thank you!
