Resurfacing Retinol Serum.

"CeraVe's Resurfacing Retinol Serum. I like this more than the purple air-tight pump. This blue one, much better, especially if you have hyperpigmentation. I had steered patients towards this direction if you have dark spots, melasma, and you want to gently work on those dark spots with a retinol. This one actually is targeting dark spots more effectively with niacinamide, but also licorice root extract. I like the texture of it. This blue one is still one of my favorites. And of course, you get the three essential ceramides in all CeraVe products, which is an essential component of your skin barrier, helps repair the skin barrier. So, for those with sensitive skin, CeraVe's great."

"CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum has licorice root extract, so if you have hyperpigmentation on your neck that's something you can consider. The retinol is preserved in these biodegradable capsules."

"Retinol is great, it's a vitamin A derivative. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles, and there's evidence backing this up. I've been using retinol for over 10 years, and it's the best decision I've made for my skin. CeraVe makes two different retinols that are very popular, and I have to say that I like the Resurfacing Retinol Serum more than the Skin Renewing Retinol Serum. The Skin Renewing Retinol Serum is good, it has hyaluronic acid and encapsulated retinol, but I like the licorice root extract in the Resurfacing, and it also has niacinamide, so just having those brightening ingredients is a nice touch. I feel like the texture is better on my skin with this one, so I use this one more often. Use this at bedtime, and only use a pea-size amount for your entire face. Just a pea-size amount, whether you're doing prescription or over the counter. Get that on your fingertip, break it up into dots on your face, connect the dots, and that will be all you need. If you put more than that, you will get a dry, peeling face or even red and swollen."

"I also like CeraVe's Resurfacing Retinol Serum. I like that more than the renewal, the skin renewing purple one. The blue resurfacing retinol has licorice root extract which is nice in helping with hyperpigmentation and that one's quite affordable. You can find it at Target, your local drugstore, online."

"If that's too harsh this winter you might want to consider something over the counter like retinol. You could consider CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol if you want to stick with a retinol option."

"You can do CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum if you have hyperpigmentation because it has licorice root extract and niacinamide."

"We talk a lot about these really fun products like Olay retinol, rock retinol, CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum. There are times when we have trouble with the skin irritation that comes with it. And we see a lot of TikToks of people having their skin pretty wrecked, irritated, inflamed, peeling, cracked when starting off on a retinol."

"I like this more than their skin renewing purple serum. I like the texture more in this. If you have hyperpigmentation, go for this because it has licorice root extract and niacinamide, both of those ingredients are great at brightening your skin and reducing dark spots. I feel like this is a great start to the world of retinol. I like this one over the purple."

"CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is a gentle over-the-counter option to start off with if you're a beginner, if you have sensitive skin, if you have rosacea. You want to use a small amount, a pea-size amount to your entire face and then moisturize afterwards with your favorite moisturizer."

"CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is one I like a lot. It feels nice and elegant, rubs in really well, and doesn't irritate my face. I was starting off on tretinoin, which I know is a little rough because I'd get dry and irritated in the winter time in Boston where it gets really cold, and it was nice to have CeraVe's retinol all during the winter and I could alternate, like one day tretinoin, other day CeraVe."

"I like the resurfacing Retinol Serum a lot. It has licorice root extract as well as niacinamide, and niacinamide is a jack of all trades that works on sebum but also helps brighten the skin. The licorice root extract in this is good if you have hyperpigmentation because that also works on decreasing melanin production and it helps with brightening your skin. This is a nice lightweight serum, you only need a little bit, a pea-size amount. It's about 20 to 25 bucks for one fluid ounce, which seems pretty standard. It is encapsulated so technically maybe it is photostable, but I always say just in case use your retinoids at bedtime on dry skin. You don't want it to be on damp skin because it will absorb too much and cause irritation."

"I like it mixed in with my retinol, say CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum. That Retinol Serum is great and it has licorice root extract as well as niacinamide to help brighten the skin."

"You can see it in Olay's products, CeraVe Resurfacing. Those retinols all have niacinamide which is great to pair with your retinol because niacinamide is brightening. It can regulate sebum production. This vitamin B3 analog can also work on barrier repair."

"The resurfacing retinol serum is wonderful because it's really formulated to address the needs of skin types that tend to lean to development of uneven skin tone, discoloration, persistent redness, but are also seeking that smoothing effect from a topical retinol and are also seeking the anti-aging benefits of improved collagen production. One of the reasons I always recommend this is that L'Oreal, they are doing so much R&D behind the scenes. It has ceramides, which are lipids that are naturally found in your skin, and applying them helps with the moisture barrier. So, it can ultimately help offset the dryness and irritation that you might experience with this, although it's going to be less than a topical prescription retinoid. But it's got licorice root and niacinamide. Both of those ingredients are amazing for dark spots and for redness."

"This particular product is inspired by CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum. It has licorice root and niacinamide. Licorice root is helpful for redness, and the niacinamide is also helpful for both redness and hyperpigmentation. So this can be really helpful for overlying surface changes and possibly subtly soften the appearance of depressed scars."

"The resurfacing retinol serum is a great retinol that has licorice root and niacinamide. Both of those are going to be good for dark spots and redness. And then the retinol is also going to be helpful for post acne marks like dark marks and red marks. And then it's got ceramides in there which are good for the moisture barrier."

"I like the resurfacing Retinol Serum better. It has other supporting ingredients like licorice root and niacinamide, and it's a really good starter retinol for somebody who's looking to start a retinol that wants something that's going to be gentle on the skin but it's also going to be effective. It's going to help with texture, it'll help with discoloration, and it will help with anti-aging benefits and large pores. The product has encapsulated retinol so it's more stable, you can in theory use it in the daytime, it plays better with other ingredients, better dispersion, less irritation, better absorption, plus licorice plus niacinamide. If you want to start a retinol and you have sensitive skin, for aging changes whether it's dark spots, fine lines, or texture, I think this is a great starting point. I still recommend it all the time for people looking to start retinol."

"It's got ceramides in it, that dimethicone base so it's going to be reparative as well, niacinamide in it, licorice root in it, of course it's got its retinol. I believe this is an encapsulated retinol at a .1% concentration, plus your hyaluronic acid in it. This is going to be one of those products that has quite a bit in it and it has that MVE technology that's going to keep your skin hydrated. Overall this is a winning product. This is not an advanced retinol, but for somebody who just simply wants clear skin, healthy skin over time, this is a really good starting point."

"I like it because we're talking about mostly maintaining and preventing photo aging and this is very budget friendly. It also has multiple ingredients so it has your retinol, your jack of all trades niacinamide, and then licorice for the third component, and then like all CeraVe products it has ceramides in it as well. I think it delivers as a very comprehensive retinol product. It's a great product, it's even good as a starter retinol for people that are first getting into retinol, affordable, widely available. I've used it for a long time, didn't have any irritation with it, and it's quite effective."

"One of my favorites is still the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol. It's just so budget friendly. It's kind of the OG of a skinimalist product because it's inexpensive. It's a retinol that also has some ingredients to help with really just most aging concerns, uneven tone, dark spots, etc. While it's probably not the most effective and aesthetically it's good but not like lights out, I wouldn't take the time to talk about how good it feels. The CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol is still one of my favorites."

"You can use a retinol at night, something like the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum. They pioneered retinol so they are the OGs in that category. Using a retinol is going to do a lot of the work and so I do think it's foundational to your nighttime skincare routine if you're trying to minimize the appearance of pores."

"The CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum here is like one of my favorites, it's budget friendly, it uses encapsulated slow release retinol, it's not expensive, and it keeps it very simple because it's like one product you just use this at night Monday through Saturday."

"This one's got retinol, will help brighten your skin as well as great for anti-aging and preventing breakouts, and then it's good for dark spots and hyperpigmentation issues as well because it contains licorice root as well as niacinamide as well as several ceramides, which is kind of their hook. This stuff is really wonderful and really affordable. If you're an experienced retinol user, I would probably recommend something stronger, but if you're newer to retinoids or looking for help with dark spots and things like that, this is a great two-in-one type serum."

"Both the ones from CeraVe are really good, the Skin Renewing Retinol Serum or the Resurfacing Retinol Serum, they're both good and very affordable."

"The CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is really nice. They have a couple different retinol products, and this one is my favorite, especially if you suffer from hyperpigmentation issues. It can help with brightening skin up, and the retinoids in here are great for anti-aging as well."

"The CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is really nice. They have a couple different retinol products and this one is my favorite, especially if you suffer from hyperpigmentation issues. It can help with brightening skin up, and the retinoids in here are great for anti-aging as well. I have two different retinoid products and this is my favorite of the two."

"CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is great if you don't struggle with acne anymore and are mostly concerned with pore congestion and post acne marks. This can be very helpful. It helps to improve the concerns of skin texture and skin tone but is also lightweight and fast absorbing."

"One of the most gentle ones I've talked about many times is from CeraVe, their Resurfacing Retinol, the one in that teal white bottle that contains encapsulated retinol that's gentle but yet effective as well as a liquid shoot that has anti-inflammatory as well as brightening properties so that's certainly something you can use on a nightly basis if tolerated."

"I like this formulation because it's great for beginners it has that encapsulated retinol. Now even though it has that encapsulated retinol it doesn't mean that it's not going to be as effective as another type of retinol that you might find at the drugstore. This is a great intro retinol to start off with to see how your skin does before you move to something stronger but the more consistent you are with it honestly you will see results you will. With retinol it has to turn into retinoic acid so once it's applied to your skin your skin converts the retinol to retinoic acid and it has to go through two steps which is why retinol is more gentle than tretinoin because tretinoin is retinoic acid right off the bat. This one also has hyaluronic acid in it and it has ceramides, ceramides help to strengthen and repair that skin barrier and I really like ceramides in actives like this because it really helps to keep that barrier nice and strong and then of course it does contain niacinamide as well."

"The CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum has to be one of my favorite retinols from the drugstore. This formula is quite gentle in my opinion and it's also very moisturizing. This product has an encapsulated retinol so this is going to be even more gentle. It has hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides, and licorice root extract. This product will help to improve uneven skin tone, so if you have post-acne marks or dark spots this can be lovely. This is great if you have texture and also signs of aging, and if you're acne prone then retinol can also be great to use as well. I really like the way that this applies to the skin. I do feel like this really is effective as well, especially when you're consistent with it. I've never had an issue with pilling either, and this always sits nicely with all of my skincare products."
