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? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works right away UPDATE! *by on Reviewed in the United States September 4, 2024* Updated review: People of EVERY age need this product! I've officially been using it for three months, and not only did it literally erase the freckles off of my face, but I no longer have the deep 11 lines between my eyes anymore. Not to mention that when I started using this product, I had terrible breakouts of acne in my T-zone due to hormonal changes related to peri-menopause and for at least the last month, I have not had a single pimple or blackhead anywhere on my face despite having made no changes to my diet, activity level, medications, etc. Acne was the reason I started using it, but getting rid of wrinkles is an absolutely acceptable side effect!All that said, I did have a long purge period (about 6 weeks), where I had to use blotting papers every couple of hours due to shine, and my breakouts were worse in the first couple of weeks of use. When I first reviewed it, the breakouts hadn't started yet. I didn't know what I was in for. I would wager it's not suitable to those who are sensitive to retinol. But, if you're willing to tough it out, you WILL be rewarded with smooth, acne-free, less wrinkled, even-toned skin.While it is heavy duty stuff, the formulation is not painful and does not burn or aggravate on contact. It's actually kinda silky. It isn't sticky or oily at all, and soaks in fairly quickly. I would highly suggest an oil-free moisturizer though, because as I said, the purging of oils is fairly extreme, but you need to moisturize or you'll have dry spots/textured areas and redness. I would also suggest washing your face twice a day - when you wake up and before bed. Also, try to avoid getting it in the under eye area, because it's probably too harsh for that area (though I have accidently got it there and nothing happened, but the skin in that area is likely too sensitive for something this strong being frequently applied).No exaggeration, the skin on my face is so smooth that after my routine, I have to use setting powder on my forehead because it is SO shiny! It's not oil, though; it's just that smooth. I also no longer have freckles on my face. If you can handle acne issues getting worse before they get better and you stick with it, you won't be sorry. My skin looks better than it has since before puberty, and I'm almost 42. This serum is definitely under-rated considering its price and effectiveness. Everyone needs to know about this stuff!! Don't forget the foaming acne face wash, and I would also recommend a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment for those early weeks, but definitely not absolutely necessary, because I no longer need one. It will eventually improve just by using this product.Unless you already have perfect skin, you definitely need this serum!Original review: I paired this with the Cerave foaming acne cleanser. I have very oily skin - especially since peri-menopause has kicked in, and just washing my face twice daily isn't enough to keep it smooth and clean...until now. These two products used together are my new twice daily ritual. I could probably even get away with just using them once a day, and may do that if they become drying or irritating, but so far, after three days, this has been the perfect combination for my face. Now, if I can only find an under eye serum, my entire facial routine will be all set. lol ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and feels good on my skin *by on Reviewed in the United States August 5, 2026* I’ve been adding this serum to my nighttime routine, and so far I’m really enjoying it. The texture is light, it absorbs quickly, and it doesn’t leave my face feeling greasy or sticky. I also like the pump because it makes it easy to use the right amount. My skin feels soft and smooth afterward. Just start slowly if your skin isn’t used to retinol ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Significantly helped my acne scars *by on Reviewed in the United States December 3, 2025* I had horrible cystic acne in my early teens that left a lot of scarring and hyperpigmentation on my face; mostly my cheeks, but small dots here and there on my temples too.I use prescription clindamycin for the occasional cystic acne now, but of course that doesn't do anything for scarring so I decided to branch out. I'm scared of needles so microneedling, while arguably not THAT scary, wasn't an option both because of my fear and because of the price... Hence, this product.I chose this one because it had a lot of reviews honestly, I am definitely a victim of the "oh, this product has close to five stars and blah blah so many reviews, that must mean it'll work on me!" mentality sometimes, I will admit, so I was a bit skeptical because I've taken this approach before with some products in the past and it didn't go well.THIS is the best choice I've ever made for a skincare product. While the scarring on my right cheek is still there, it is very minimal now and way less noticeable. As for my left cheek, it's literally almost completely gone. It's crazy. I've only been using this for like maybe 2 months, and just like that, bad acne scarring is gone. I didn't even know that was possible.That being said, just because this worked super well for me doesn't necessarily mean it'll work super well for you, everyone's skin is different!I will also add that the serum itself works very well on my oily skin. It's not drying, sticky, and it seems to absorb into my skin well, which is an issue I have with other products. A few minutes after applying it, I don't feel it whatsoever, both in feeling and appearance. You don't need very much of it either, which is pretty common in retinol, to my knowledge, but I really like that I can use just a teeny tiny bit every so often and still have results. Definitely worth a try if you're considering it for acne scar reduction. ## Frequently Bought Together - CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum For Post Acne Marks, Formulated With Licorice Root Extract & Niacinamide, Brightening Serum & Pore Minimizer For Face, Post Acne Skin Barrier Repair, Non-Comedogenic - CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide, Ultra-Lightweight, Oil-Free Moisturizer for Face, 3 Ounce - CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser, Formulated With Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, & Ceramides, Gentle BHA Exfoliating Face Wash Smooths & Softens Skin, Non Comedogenic & Fragrance Free, 16 Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/151301207-cerave-resurfacing-retinol-face-serum-with-niacinamide-pore-minimizer-1oz](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/151301207-cerave-resurfacing-retinol-face-serum-with-niacinamide-pore-minimizer-1oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
