Anesha AReviewed 4 days agoThe Perfect “Entry-Level” Retinol for Glowy Skin!
If you’ve been avoiding retinol because you’re afraid of the peeling phase or deep breakouts, this is the one for you. Cerave has created a formula that is surprisingly gentle, but actually delivers on that smooth refreshed look. The texture is a dream. It’s a lightweight creamy lotion that feels more like hydrating serum than a harsh treatment. It’s spread effortlessly and sinks in within 10 seconds. The packaging is easily one of my favorite features, it comes in an airless pump bottle, which is a huge one. I noticed a difference in my effectiveness timeline around the 4 to 6 week mark. I have acne prone skin so I’m always weary of new actives causing breakouts. Would I recommend? Absolutely if you want a brighter more even complexion without the drama of peeling skin, this belongs in your routine.0 users found this review helpful.Originally posted on influenster.com- justwin_2249Reviewed 1 week ago
If you’re new to retinol or looking for something
I started using this serum on nights when my skin felt a bit dull and uneven, and I wanted something effective but not too aggressive. The first thing I noticed was the texture — it’s very light, almost lotion-like, and sinks in quickly without that heavy or oily feeling retinol products sometimes have. I have fairly sensitive skin, so I was cautious at first. I used it only a few times a week, and honestly, my skin handled it really well. No burning, no redness, no flaking — which was a big relief. After a couple of weeks, my skin started to feel smoother to the touch, especially around my cheeks and forehead, and my overall texture looked more refined. What I like most is how easy it is to use. It layers nicely under a simple moisturizer, and I never feel like my skin is overwhelmed. The results are subtle but consistent — my skin just looks healthier, calmer, and more balanced over time. If you’re new to retinol or looking for something gentle that fits into a real, everyday routine, this one feels like a safe and reliable choice.0 users found this review helpful.Originally posted on influenster.com - amandas2312_7710Reviewed 1 week ago
A gentle, affordable retinol serum that improves t
CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum has a lightweight, creamy texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. It has no noticeable fragrance, which is ideal for sensitive skin. The formula feels gentle compared to stronger retinols, yet with consistent use it helps improve skin texture, smooth fine lines, and brighten overall tone. I experienced minimal irritation when introducing it slowly into my nighttime routine. I apply a pea-sized amount after cleansing and follow with a moisturizer, making sure to use sunscreen during the day. Considering the quality ingredients like encapsulated retinol and ceramides, the price is very reasonable for the results it delivers.0 users found this review helpful.Originally posted on influenster.com - criselp_3039Reviewed 1 week ago
An effective, non-irritating retinol that’s perfec
I’ve been using the CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum for about a month now, and I’m impressed by how gentle it is. Unlike other retinols that caused major irritation or peeling, this one feels hydrating thanks to the ceramides. The packaging with the pump is great for keeping the product fresh. I’ve noticed a subtle improvement in my skin texture and fine lines, though you definitely have to be consistent to see the value. It’s a perfect 'starter' retinol for sensitive skin!0 users found this review helpful.Originally posted on influenster.com 
makennar_5215Reviewed 1 week agogreat for retinol beginners
I am not a huge retinol user (I need to get into it) but as a beginner, this face wash is great, It’s very soft and foamy, which is ideal for me when washing my face. I haven’t used it enough to show off guaranteed results, but I will come back and update once I do.0 users found this review helpful.Originally posted on influenster.com- allym212_6192Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Definitely repurchasing
I got this retinol serum to improve texture and post-acne marks, and it’s been a great addition to my skincare routine. It’s gentle, doesn’t clog pores, and my skin looks more even and smooth. I also appreciate that it feels hydrating and not harsh. Great beginner-friendly retinol!0 users found this review helpful.Originally posted on influenster.com - JennReviewed 2 weeks ago
Literally the only Cerave product to not purchase
I love all cerave products except this one. I have read and about the pilling and I am letting it absorb in then applying makeup and no matter what it has pills. The moisturizer causes pilling, clumpy, foundation to settle in lines, completely uneven application. My face is covered in flakes that look like dandruff. It may be for people who do not use makeup but my foundation and makeup look awful and it’s time consuming to try to get rid of all the flakes before I can leave in the morning.0 users found this review helpful.Originally posted on cerave.com
