Well I cant believe it. This works. Ive only used it a short time and yes its really plumping the wrinkles and Im totally stunned. And I just turned 77 years old. I decided to try the most economical approach instead of ridiculously overpriced retinols. Very good product. I use sunscreen everyday.  Carol

 

Im 37 years old and moved across the country to a much drier climate and my skin was like a lizard! I never had dry skin before but started to notice my face was looking dull and even flaky under makeup. I was curious about retinol and nervous since Ive had sensitivity to products in the past, but this one has hyaluronic acid which is meant to offset any reactions so I gave it a go. Started only applying at night and after only 3 nights Ive already noticed such an improvement in the texture and appearance of my face!! My ilia tinted serum now glides on smoothly and the flakes are gone. No redness or issues. Glad I opted for this trusted brand and didnt try to go for a pricier potentially harsher option.  TVG

 

I love all of Ceraves products, and this one is one of my all-time favorites. Yes, it may be a drugstore product, but that doesnt bother me Im not a skincare snob. I have been using Ceraves Retinol for a long time now and not only does it absorb quickly but is so soothing for aging dry skin. I apply it every night during my skincare regimen and this product is very soothing and moisturizing. It is extremely inexpensive yet has many good ingredients and no fragrance, scent, or smell so it is great for those with sensitive skin or scent allergies. Please do not be deceived by the low price tag, this is a very special product and will not only moisturize your skin but works to keep wrinkles at bay. I absolutely recommend this gentle yet effective product at a fabulous price point to anyone seeking an OTC retinol product that wont dry out your skin, you have nothing to lose except perhaps a few wrinkles, and who doesnt want that? I have used Tretinoin but I keep coming back to Cerave because my aging dry skin loves it:)  Amazon Shopper

 

Feels nice going on, smooth. I was surprised at the nearly immediate positive result. My skin looks brighter, less tired. Id never tried a retinol product, but at 67 and showing the effects of aging and life in general on my face, I am glad I did! I dont wear make up, preferring a natural look. I have been applying it morning and night for a few days and the positive effect is pretty obvious.  Susan E. Bickford

 

 

I have never used any retinol or hyluronic acid products. But for the last few months, I was stressing over the vertical lines around my mouth and even consulted with a dermatologist about a painful and expensive laser procedure. I happened to come across Dr. Sugai, a no nonsense dermatologist on YouTube, and after seeing his review of several retinol products, I went ahead and ordered his number one recommendationCeraVe retinol serum. He mentioned that retinol and the hyluronic acid that is part of the serum have a slight plumping effect but I thought it was just a bit of hype. But he seemed to know what he was talking about so I thought Id give it a try. Im so glad I did! After a couple of days of using the serum, I looked in the mirror and thought WHOA! this stuff really works! He was spot on re the plumping effect. It wasnt hype after all. For now Im holding off on doing any laser procedures. I only used a tiny amount around my mouth and had no adverse reaction to my sensative skin.  helen
