CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is formulated to fade post-acne marks, dark spots, and uneven skin texture. This serum has encapsulated retinol, which releases slowly to improve skin turnover while minimizing irritation. A great way to minimize acne marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and enlarged pores is by using a gentle resurfacing serum that smooths and refines the skin while maintaining its natural protective barrier.
The combination of niacinamide and ceramides strengthens the skin barrier, prevents moisture loss, and calms inflammation. These ingredients make it a retinol serum for sensitive skin while also helping reduce visible pores and prevent further breakouts. Licorice root extract and hyaluronic acid work together to brighten the skin and provide hydration. This makes it a brightening retinol serum that keeps skin soft and healthy, addressing both uneven tone and dryness in one step.
Lightweight and non-comedogenic, the serum is easy to layer under moisturizers or sunscreens. Regular use can help improve overall skin texture, reduce post-acne scars, and provide mild anti-aging benefits, making it one of the best retinol serums for uneven skin tone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I use CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum?
Apply a small amount at night after cleansing and before moisturizing. Start with 2–3 nights a week if you’re new to retinol. Gradually increase as your skin adjusts for the best results.
Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the encapsulated retinol and barrier-supporting ceramides make it gentle enough for sensitive skin. Niacinamide helps calm inflammation. Always patch test before full-face application.
Can I use this serum with other retinol products?
It’s best not to use multiple retinol products at the same time to avoid irritation. Combine it with non-exfoliating creams or hydrating serums instead. Let the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum work as your main treatment.
How long will it take to see results?
Some improvement in texture and hydration can be noticed within 2–3 weeks. Dark spots and post-acne marks typically fade with consistent use over 6–8 weeks. Regular nightly application ensures the best outcome.
Can I use this serum during the day?
It is designed for nighttime use because retinol increases sun sensitivity. If you use it in the morning, be sure to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen. Nighttime use allows the serum to work while your skin naturally repairs.
