Not Satisfied
I am greatly disappointed with this product. I love Cera Ve products but this product has made my skin irritated and has severely stained my cloths and my towel. I normally did not have this problem with the 4% version of this product. I am disappointed that I wasted money and now I have to waste mo...

This is a MIRACLE PRODUCT
I am a teen going through acne phases and this is the best product I have ever found. It is a wash, face mask, and spot treatment all in one and each feature works insanely well. I highly recommend for anyone going through acne.
Good lightweight retinol
This product works great. Noticeable improvement in my skin tone and color. Works, but it's not super strong so doesn't irritate my skin. Make sure to use a good amount of moisturizer with it to avoid peeling.
Not good for cystic prone individuals
I was out of my Tula acne heros kit and wanted to give something else a try (im 37yo and have had cystic hormonal acne around my jawline for the last year). I only used this for 2 weeks before going back to the Tula products. This serum re aggravated my cystic acne and even after ceasing use im still trying to get rid of the huge closed comedones on my jawline a week later. The reason Im giving this 3 stars is that it does work very well for lightening acne scars or other hyperpigmentation issues. Also I'm sure this would work well for other types of acne but for my hormonal acne thats only on the lower half of my face, this just broke me out all over again. My skin has been the clearest using the Tula acne set.
Worked for me!
I started using this product nightly on April 10. The after was taken on May 18. I saw a difference within a few days. This product worked really well for me and I'm happy about the results!


Yes being using this since 2020
This has helped with adult acne around the chin. I also use the Cerave retinol serum at night.
