Most Helpful Positive Review Part of my "Holy Grail" skin care routine This is my 3rd repurchase of this product. I apply 1 to 2 pumps to my face & neck until thoroughly absorbed (even around my eyes), right after cleansing. Then follow it with CeraVe Facial Moisturizing lotion & CeraVe Eye Repair cream. All 3 products apply & absorb so easily. No greasy feel. No fragrance. Great for my dry, "mature", and sometimes sensitive skin. I've noticed an improvement in the softness of my skin and decrease in fine lines. I use this at night & under my makeup every day. Compared to other "high end" products that contain retinal & ceramide, I think the price point is pretty reasonable. Love it!
Most Helpful Critical Review Gives results but pulls up on sljn I saw this product reviewed on YouTube by the user "hot and flashy." She has many videos and looks great for her age. I'm about 4 years behind her (49) and wanted to try what she was using, and I had a crepey neck from age and gradual weight loss (no surgery) that she didn't have. I started using this on my neck and forehead and saw some minor results, but after the product was on for about an hour it began to pill up even on clean non made up skin. It looked disgusting. Plus it was so tacky on the skin that it really felt sticky and nasty. I can't handle that feeling so I am trying some other products. If I figure out a way to use it where it won't pill up I'll continue using it since I did see some help for the lines and saw some firming, but for now I'm looking for another product.

This is an excellent first retinol serum--it was the first I could tolerate! It's important to start slow when introducing a retinol to avoid major purging, and also to protect your skin barrier as it adjusts. This is a gentle, affordable option. I used this just once a week for a couple months and have gradually worked up to using it 4-5 days per week. It is an excellent value! I am only now running out and looking for a stronger retinol serum to replace it with. However, I have seen results in fine lines and skin appearance since beginning this, both on my smile lines, forehead lines, and crepey neck skin. You can see how regular retinol use really does give a glow to your complexion over time. I lost a lot of fat/volume in my face after losing 100+ lbs and regular retinol use and excellent skin care/hydration and moisturizing have been improving the appearance and feel of my skin.

I love this products I have noticed such a difference in my skin since I started using it. My acne pigmentation scarring goes away much faster now and I have noticed that I have been getting less acne. Would recommend if you're struggling with discoloration due to acne!
I loved this because 5
rachelt157 from undisclosed
I loved this because the retinol is gentle enough I can use it day or night. Fragrance free so it doesn't cause irritation or redness. Cheap doesn't mean less in this case it is better than high end brands

I think this stuff is kind of a miracle. I have a skin condition and it helped with my scaly skin.
Just started using this 3
chembae from undisclosed
Just started using this product but so far I like it. I also have been using the resurfacing serum and THAT is the bomb! Like it's actually working, within a week to clear my spots but this product is for fine lines and just skin shaking so I'm not noticing effects right away. Maybe I'll update in about a month.
THIS ROCKS. I've noticed 5
merih3 from undisclosed
THIS ROCKS. I've noticed SUCH an improvement with my skin over the past two weeks it's crazy. It dries nicely, and if I want to put makeup on over it adds a nice glow. Maybe if you have oily skin though I would save it for nighttime. I use it morning and night and still have plenty left! So happy with this.

Ano from Garden city, ny
I should've listened to myself and invested in a better retinol. I know the formula isint good when my skin started breaking out! If you have sensitive skin , domt waste your money, invest in the good stuff
Good product and probably 4
anns76 from undisclosed
Good product and probably would love more but I tried one of the others first. It is a slight yellowish color and is smooth. It's light weight and your skin feels fresh.

I have only been using it for about a week but I do feel that I see a difference and I like the product! Has no scent and is easy to use/ apply. I will continue using this and probably buy it again. Affordable price and great product :)
I'm seeing results on 3

I'm seeing results on day 5 after taking it 3 nights in a row under my night moisturizer. I took a break and now two days later the texture of my skin is so smooth in comparison to before. But , having used retinol products before I always get irritation. It dissipates and after the irritation calms I'm left with hardly any texture. I used to have oily skin and cystic acne. Now I have dry skin. Maybe a tiny bit oily on my forehead. And a LOT of texture. Scars, bumps, flakes you name it. I do a short regime with this product and my pop up acne and overall texture improves by id say a good 80%. Stars taken off for skin irritation. I made my choice intentionally knowing the outcome but I'm worried someone might think this product will be gentle because it's Cerave brand.

anabellarroyo from undisclosed
I really like the texture of this product because it is very light and it is very easy to be absorbed by the skin. I have kinda mixed feelings with this product when I use it with moisturizer cuz it makes my face very oily but I have only been using for a week so I would give it more time to see what works better for me

I've not seen any major improvements in fine lines but I like the way this feels on my skin. This is a gentle product and I'm hopeful that overtime I'll see the benefits of continued use.

Major break outs 1
Lisa from Wisconsin
I usually use Cerave Resurfacing Retinol Serum but decided to try this one. I'm not prone to break outs but had terrible red, blistery breakouts. I love Cerave products but not this one.

Acorlew from Jackson Tennessee
I have been using this and the resurfacing retinol serum for over a year. I have yet to have to buy another bottle of either. A little goes a long way. I apply on my eyes, smile lines, and forehead. It has neqver broke me out. My skin glows. I hope this keeps me young!!
LOVE this serum. It 5
lexg9 from undisclosed
LOVE this serum. It has retinol AND hyaluronic acid. It's not drying and has been my holy grail for keeping the maskne away. It's important to keep your skin hydrated and balanced (bacteria) and this little guy does both of those things. I started using it twice a week and worked up to using it daily as a part of my nighttime regimen.
