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 fr...

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 t...

Horrible breakouts!!!
I've made it 30 years with fairly clear skin aside from the random zit here and there. I bought this wanting to love it. I used it 3 times in the last week and my face is now completely broken out.

I use all of CeraVe skin renewing. I absolutely love it all. My skin feels so much better, face and body! I get compliments all of the time :)

Great for my sensitive skin!
I have tried other retinol products in the past and would get a rash on my face. I've had zero irritation with this product. My skin feels so smooth and my dermatologist even complemented the texture and appearance of my skin at my last visit! That felt great almost being 50!

I have used this product in the past and like it. However, this bottle will not dispense any product no matter how many times I have tried to pump it. I am going to return it for another one.

I had cystic acne during my teens and most of my 20's. I spent thousands of dollars in Dermatologist and other treatments. My acne was mostly in my nose that left me with deep scars. The last dermatologist I visited recommended CeraVe Products and I have used them for the past 3 or 4 years, mainly the face wash and face lotion. After 2 pregnancies my skin has taken a toll so I have more attention into my face. I use this product combined with CeraVe PM face lotion and I am very happy with the results! I combine with other CeraVe products rotating during the week such as CeraVe Skin Resurfacing Retinol Serum (blue one).
