About this item

[ RETINOL SERUM FOR FACE ] Anti-aging facial serum with Retinol to help improve skin’s texture including visible signs of aging for more radiant skin and Hyaluronic Acid to help retain skin’s natural moisture, and Niacinamide to help calm skin.
[ SMOOTH TEXTURE ] Lightweight serum with a gel texture and a non-greasy feel. If layering with an eye cream or facial moisturizer, apply Skin Renew Retinol Serum in a thin layer and allow to fully absorb into skin before applying additional products.
[ 3 ESSENTIAL CERAMIDES ] Ceramides make up 50% of the lipids in the skin barrier. As you age, studies show that ceramide levels decrease. CeraVe products are formulated with 3 essential ceramides (1,3,6-II) to help restore and maintain the skin barrier.
[ DERMATOLOGIST RECOMMENDED ] CeraVe Skincare is developed with dermatologists and has products suitable for dry skin, sensitive skin, oily skin, acne-prone, and more.
[ GENTLE ON SKIN ] Fragrance free, non-comedogenic, and non-irritating formula. As retinol can cause sun sensitivity, please apply Skin Renewing Retinol Serum at night or wear a facial moisturizer with at least SPF 30 sunscreen if wearing during the day.

Product Description

CeraVe Skin Renewing Cream Serum is designed to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while helping to repair and restore the skin barrier, resulting in brighter, smoother skin that looks healthy and radiant. It contains an encapsulated 1 percent retinol and ceramide complex, which stabilizes and delivers the retinol into the skin gradually over time so it won't cause harsh irritation like many retinols. The nongreasy and fast-absorbing formula, also contains vederine, a vitamin D analog known to provide epidermal and skin barrier support.

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

This cream is not magic in a bottle but it is probably the best thing on the market under 100 dollars (if not more). It is certainly the best thing you could possibly buy at a drug store (belive me-I tried so many things). In fact, it is likely that it is better than most things at ANY store! I have a lot of chemical sensitivities to smells and to anything I put on my skin and Cerave products (including this serum) not only do not break my skin but also actually work! The fact they don't have a scent is an added (and for me/important) bonus! After doing a lot of research I knew I would need a face serum with retinoids for exfoliation and for combatting age (early 30s). I am fortunate to have good genetics (and a mother that made me use sunblock all the time growing up) and after using this, and other Cerave products, actually have gotten compliments and statements about looking quite a bit younger (a whole decade even) than I really am! I really believe this cream has HELPED me to look younger. I have used Cersve moisturizer for awhile so it seemed natural that I would try this. It was a great decision! My skin looks great and just glows. I use it every night and a tube has lass almost 3 months (one application is the size of a large pea). I'm not sure exactly what MVE technology is, but it works! Ceramides are a sort of fatty acid in the cell so I suppose it helps plump the skin-what ER they are they must work well in this cream too. If you are on the fence about buying this product I would really recommend that you go ahead and try it (FYI-it's 3 dollars cheaper on Amazon thanI have seen it anywhere else)! Next to just a horrible skin reaction(spot test first!) you won't be disappointed! I pair this product with Cerave PM Moisturizer at night and a Vitamin C serum during the day along with the Cerave AM Moisturizing Lotion. I also use the Cerave eye cream, and Cerave moisturizing Face Wash and the regular Cerave Mosturizimg Body lotion! For tt price point, and after years of trying different things, as well as reading about different ingredients I am sold on these products. I have a new niece and nephew due in March and he/she will receive a basket of the Cerave baby products! I wish Cerave would make a product with Vitamin C in it and Masks with Glycolic Acid, that way I would be able to use just their products!

Affordable and Has Retinol

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

I like the product. Results are slow and steady. Finally have retinol in the serum. Plus other skin needing essentials. I have been using faithfully and skipping after I use the walnut scrub. I moisturize during the day. This is affordable and I have it in my subscribe and save.
But, as others have noted, the tube and tenny tiny hole is the one drawback. If you squeeze moderately night after night, you may experience the serum shooting out the crimped end. It happened twice. 1st time ended up on my ceiling. 2nd I had a handful and puddle on my pjs top. Some have taken off 5he nozzle and used that way. I cant get that end off. Hello CeraVe redesign the tube.

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've been using Cerave products for years on the recommendation of my dermatologist, and figured it was time to buy my first night serum, and decided to go with this trusted brand. What I love about this retinol containing serum is that it is gentle (re: mild) and it has an encapsulated retinol which is slowly released in the skin. I do eventually want to transition to a prescription retinoid, but am weary of some of the harsher side effects such as peeling and burning that their strength may cause, so wanted to build up gradually with this product. I really love it so far. My skin is visibly firmer after just a few weeks' usage and has a more even tone. This serum absorbs nicely into the skin, and the ceramides make the skin instantly supple. Love this product and would recommend it especially for those looking for a milder introduction before an eventual transition to a prescription product. Price is amazing for the high quality ingredients.

CeraVe skin renewing cream serum is your product. It really works.

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

A must have. If you have fine lines, deep lines, wrinkles around your mouth, eyes. ????? Get this product. I have purchased creams, serums from some of the highest end product lines at $120.00-$145.00. All with the promise that the fine lines aound my mouth and eyes will diminish. Never did. One cosmetic line ( higher end) has a product that actually has Ceramides. It will cost you at minimum $140.00 . So???? 14.00 or 140.00?
I have had fillers, botox, you name it. I used this product and in 2 days I saw tiny lines go away. The more I used the product, the deeper lines were fading away. Every night I apply around my eyes and mouth. Great results. I have purchased this product 2 times and have the 3rd on order. It works. It is inexpensive, and we need the actual contents of this product in our skin. You have nothing to lose but the wrinkles and fine lines.

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I brought this product after seeing a YouTube video recommend it as the anti-aging serum that that most affordable, and this is my third tube. Immediately after applying, the serum does leave a layer on your face that takes a while to absorb. It doesn't leave any particular feeling (not greasy, not dry) after. I am at my early thirties and starting to show signs of aging such as crows' feet, sunken cheeks, eye bags, and enlarged pores. So far I have not noticed any particular impact but I was also told that effect is subtle and slow. I guess the product lives up to that description for now. But we shall see what happens when I get to the 10th tube!

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018

After months of searching, I have finallly found a budget-friendly and EFFECTIVE facial serum. I am only 29 but have recently developed deep frown lines between my eyebrows and some fine lines in my forehead as well as skin unevenness/redness. I have been using this product for a week and am already seeing a dramatic difference in my frown lines and in my skins overall tone. My husbands dermatologist recommended this line to him years ago but we have only been using the face cleanser. I am so glad I made the decision to try this serum (I have been using Cerave night cream with it as well) and will certainly be a repeat buyer.

Es ist keine Augencreme sondern eine Serum-Creme für das ganze Gesicht! Die Beschreibung ist leider falsch. Auch finde ich den Preis übertrieben, über 17€ musste ich zahlen plus 8€ Versand; und nun ist es wesentlich günstiger. Ich hoffe nur dass ich mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden sein werde...
