Review: Great Serum! My Skin feels Softer & More Even - I started using this retinol serum a few months ago and I’m really happy with how gentle it feels on my skin. It’s super lightweight and absorbs fast, there is no heavy or greasy feel, which makes it easy to layer under moisturizer and sunscreen. What’s surprised me the most is how my skin tone seems more even and those annoying redness in my face is slowly fading. My skin also feels smoother and softer, and makeup glides on so much nicer now. I appreciate that it’s fragrance‑free and doesn’t clog my pores and a big plus for my sensitive, acne‑prone skin. If you want a serum that helps even out texture, fade marks, and doesn’t feel harsh, this one’s a great pick in my book. Totally worth the price!
Review: Most effective product I’m using - I have gone through an entire bottle and I have found that my discoloration and fine lines have improved greatly. I really have found that this product has made a big difference in my skin. The overall texture, and brightness has improved so much. My lines have blurred if not disappeared. I was totally impressed with this and will surely be using this forever. I think it’s the combination of the peptides, retinol, and licorice root that everyone should be using on their skin.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What percentage of retino? Is it for ex. 1.00, 0.50, 0.25?**
A: The website Beautypedia estimates that the retinol in this product is probably around 0.01% . You can tell because ingredients are listed in order of largest to smallest quantity and certain ingredients like some preservatives are known to be used at a certain percentage so you can figure out what the other ingredients quantity may be relative to those known quantity ingredients in the list. Check out the Beautypedia review. They give it 5 stars and they also note that while this is a lower strength retinol it can still be very effective for skin texture and everything else the product claims. It just won't work well on deep wrinkles and more major issues that would need a higher strength retinol, but the product does not make those claims. Personally this is good for me, I cannot use much higher or mid-strength retinols. Do note the ingredient RETINOL (over-the-counter ingredient) is not the same as prescription (tretinoin/retin-A) so the percentages are not comparable.

**Q: What’s the difference between this serum and the Skin Renewing retinol?**
A: Hi there, thanks for reaching out to us. Our Resurfacing Retinol Serum reduces the appearance of post-acne marks and pores and helps restore the protective skin barrier. Our Skin Renewing Retinol Serum reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin texture and radiance. We hope this information was helpful!

**Q: Do i wash it off?**
A: Hello! Thank you for inquiring about CeraVe Retinol Serum for Post-Acne Marks and Skin Texture | Pore Refining, Resurfacing, Brightening Facial Serum with Retinol | 1 Oz! No, you do not wash the serum off. Allow the product to absorb into the skin and you will apply your moisturizer over top of the serum.

**Q: Should I use this in my 20s?**
A: I wish I had used it in my 20s! I HIGHLY recommend. What’s your reason for wanting to use this?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great purchase and works as well as the high end brands.
*by Y***5 on December 21, 2025*

I was afraid I would have a reaction to the retinol serum like i did when I purchased another brand but it has not bothered me. It seems to be doing a good job and I am very satisfied with it. It does a good job cleaning off my makeup and does not leave my face so dry. Does not take much to get all the make up off either. Easy to use and I am careful to not rub my face very hard and I am happy with this purchase. So much cheaper than other high end brands that do the same thing, Why pay more? You will love it is not so watery too.
