CeraVeAnti Aging Retinol Serum For Face, Encapsulated Retinol With Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide & Ceramides, Smooths Wrinkles & Fine Lines, Gentle Skin Brightening Serum, Fragrance Free, 1 Oz

From the very first application my skin already felt and looked better, the lines on my forehead have noticably reduced. There was a slight tingling sensation and my skin felt tighter (I think because the product is slightly drying) but this works well with my combination skin, especially on my oily forehead and nose. The texture isn't greasy, it smells okay (is unscented really) and it absorbs well into my skin. I only need a tiny amount else it starts to pill on my skin, especially if I use other products on top. This is an affordable retinol product that is gentle on my sensitive skin, however I would not use this in my eye area and use a different product for this

This is by far my favorite retinol when it comes to a beginner or anyone that has highly sensitive dry, raw irritated skin. Most people focus on the percent concentration of retinol or retinaldehyde or tretinoin, but the biggest problem with that is it matters more that you use the product on a daily consistent basis. Now, while some people are able to tolerate very high percentages of retinol and its other forms, I personally have a really hard time tolerating high dose retinol. I continue to come back to this product over the years. It’s definitely more expensive than I would like. I think if it was a $15 price point that would be perfect value for money that being said it does a great job of giving me glass skin and enhancing the overall clarity of my skin. The best part being that I can use is slightly over many thick layers of serums and creams without my face feeling like it’s being burned off the next morning. If you struggle like me with retinol, apply a medium to thick moisturizer of your choice. Wait, at least 10 minutes and then apply one to two pumps of this retinol at night time that buffering of moisturizer and thyme will help this retinal be tolerated better. It also has encapsulated retinol which slows the release. I doubt anyone is still reading this, but if you are, I used to be really upset that they did not disclose the retinol percent i’m assuming it’s below 0.3% that being said I notice a considerable change in my skin where I know it’s working. I also still do get a little bit of dryness if I don’t wait 10 min after skin care , which allows me to know that this is in fact having an impact on my skin.

Works great but really need to use a moisturizer in the spring, fall and winter.

I've used this product for a little while and enjoyed the results. I especially like the light feel on my skin, and I think it has improved my skin's brightness and resilience. I apply this product at night after cleansing my skin. I had to work up to applying a full amount because the retinol was a bit drying at first.Pros:Light feel, not to heavy on the skinA little goes a long way!Great companion product with my CeraVe cleanser and eye moisturizerHas helped improve my skin's brightness and textureCons:If you apply too thick a layer, it balls up when applying anything on topMay be drying if your skin is already prone to dryness
