To prescriptions, creams, the lot! I have acne quite bad when I'm on. So this is a life saver! It blemishes the skin, really good value of money and easy! I am just so frustrated I spent so much on treatment when this worked within a month. Review: Seems to be working... - I've been using this for just over a month and I'm really impressed. I haven't had any sensitivity and it's helping to clear some really stubborn blemishes. I've already bought another one as I'm going to stick with it. Watch out for offers as I think it's quite expensive at full price for the amount you get. ## Features - [Light Texture] Light gel cream texture that penetrates quickly into the skin for a non-greasy, non-sticky skin finish.

Suitable for sensitive skin. - [Instructions for use] Apply daily in the evening, evenly on the face on cleansed skin. One use per day is sufficient. Avoid contact with eyes and lips. In case of contact, rinse with plenty of water. If discomfort such as mild tingling occurs during the first application, space applications until the skin adjusts. Suitable for sensitive skin.

Ideal formula for blemished and acne-prone skin that suffers from persistent post-blemish marks. - Note A ceramide deficiency can contribute to dry skin on a daily basis or, in the most severe cases, to skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Skin naturally contains ceramides, which help maintain moisture, ward off irritants, and repair the skin barrier. Over time, ceramides are depleted, resulting in dry, dull, irritated, or cracked skin. The right balance of ceramides is essential for optimal skin barrier function and beautiful, healthy looking skin. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B913JC2W | | Active Ingredients | niacinamide,retinol | | Benefits | Reduces post-blemish marks, tightens pores, improves skin texture, restores skin barrier, brightens, soothes. | | Best Sellers Rank | 615 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) 23 in Face Serums | | Brand | CeraVe | | Brand Name | CeraVe | | Country Of Origin | France | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 12,177 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03337875829007 | | Item Form | Gel | | Item Volume | 30 Millilitres | | Item Weight | 1 Ounces | | Manufacturer | L'Oreal | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3337875829007 | | Material Features | Natural | | Model Number | 3337875829007 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Product benefits | Reduces post-blemish marks, tightens pores, improves skin texture, restores skin barrier, brightens, soothes.

The range is designed so that while you have blemishes you should use blemish control cleanser + gel moisturiser, then once blemishes are cleared you stop using those two products. Then to stop / treat any marks you should then start using the retinol serum in the evening after cleansing and before your moisturiser. We hope this helps. **Q: What strength % is it?** A: Hi dear thanks for ur questions is strength 0.3 **Q: does anyone find this serum has a gritty texture when you first put it on ?** A: No, i have personally never experienced that and i have used and repurchased this item at least 4 times on amazon alone. My guess is either it’s fake, it’s has spoilt by either air entering the packaging or being opened and used for a while, or somehow the vitamin A (retinol component) has not been fully emulsified (a batch error). Another completely valid theory is you have sensitive skin and notice certain sensations most people do not. **Q: Does make up go well on top of this?** A: I have not tried that yet because of what I have watched on Youtube from dermatologists, it is better to use it at night before you sleep. Pls. Watch Dr. Kay or a legit dermatologist about retinol use. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute LOVE *by L***W on 11 April 2026* After like a month of using this. WOW!!! My skin has cleared up! I have tried absolutely EVERYTHING you can imagine. To prescriptions, creams, the lot! I have acne quite bad when I'm on. So this is a life saver! It blemishes the skin, really good value of money and easy! I am just so frustrated I spent so much on treatment when this worked within a month. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to be working... *by A***R on 3 June 2026* I've been using this for just over a month and I'm really impressed. I haven't had any sensitivity and it's helping to clear some really stubborn blemishes. I've already bought another one as I'm going to stick with it. Watch out for offers as I think it's quite expensive at full price for the amount you get. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game-Changer Night Serum - Smooth, Brighter, Skin Every Morning! *by D***R on 15 February 2026* I purchased the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum and have been using it consistently at night for the past few weeks. I wanted something effective but not overly harsh, and this has honestly exceeded my expectations. The texture is lightweight and spreads easily across the face. I apply one pump after cleansing and follow with a moisturiser. By the next morning, my skin feels noticeably smoother, softer, and more refined. Over time, I’ve also seen improvement in overall texture and a more even look to my skin. What I appreciate most is that it delivers results without causing irritation. The inclusion of ceramides and niacinamide seems to help maintain the skin barrier while still allowing the retinol to do its job. Detailed Breakdown: Hydration: Although it’s a treatment serum, it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or tight. My skin still feels balanced and comfortable by morning. Pump Functionality: The pump dispenses the perfect controlled amount. No mess, no leakage, and hygienic compared to dropper bottles. Scent: Fragrance-free and neutral, which I prefer. There’s no strong chemical smell, making it suitable for sensitive users. Absorbency: Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or sticky residue. It layers well under moisturiser. Overall: This is a well-formulated, beginner-friendly retinol serum that actually makes a visible difference with consistent use. If you’re looking for smoother texture and a gentle introduction to retinol, this is a solid choice.
