Description

CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is a dermatologist-developed serum designed to improve post-acne marks, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and early signs of aging. It features encapsulated retinol, which delivers retinol gradually to help reduce irritation while promoting skin cell turnover and improving overall skin appearance. The formula is also enriched with three essential ceramides, niacinamide, and licorice root extract, which help strengthen the skin barrier, soothe irritation, and brighten the complexion.

Its lightweight, non-comedogenic, and fragrance-free formula makes it suitable for oily, combination, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. Regular nighttime use helps smooth rough skin, reduce the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), refine pores, and improve skin texture without feeling greasy.

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin in the evening, followed by a moisturizer. Beginners should start using it two to three nights per week and gradually increase usage as their skin builds tolerance. During the day, always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, as retinol can increase sun sensitivity.

With consistent use for 8–12 weeks, CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum can help create smoother, clearer, and healthier-looking skin while supporting the skin’s natural protective barrier.
