CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum is an evening face and neck serum made with encapsulated retinol, for visible results with less irritation. Enriched with three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, it smooths the look of fine lines and wrinkles, evens out skin tone, visibly fades dark spots and refines skin texture. Suitable for all skin types, sensitive skin included.

Key Benefits

  • Smoother-looking skin: retinol softens the look of lines on the forehead, around the eyes and between the brows.
  • More even tone: supports skin renewal to fade the look of brown spots and refine skin texture.
  • Gentle release: encapsulated retinol is released gradually, which limits the risk of irritation.
  • Barrier and hydration: three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and MVE® technology keep skin hydrated.
  • Light serum-cream: fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, with a fast-absorbing, non-sticky feel.

Key Ingredients

Encapsulated retinol resurfaces and smooths the skin while being released slowly for better tolerance. Ceramides NP, AP and EOP help restore the skin barrier, and hyaluronic acid helps the skin retain its natural moisture.

How to Use

Use CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum in the evening only, on clean, dry skin. Press the pump once and apply evenly to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area, eyelids and lips. Let it absorb, then apply your moisturizer. Start with one or two evenings a week, then use it more often if your skin tolerates it well. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum be used on sensitive skin?

Yes. CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum uses encapsulated retinol, released gradually to limit irritation, in a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic formula. If your skin is sensitive, introduce it slowly, one or two evenings a week. Its three essential ceramides help protect the skin barrier.

Do I need a moisturizer after CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum?

Yes. Even though CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid, CeraVe advises applying a moisturizer afterwards to support the skin barrier at the end of the day. Let the serum absorb first, then follow with your usual night cream.

Why wear sunscreen the morning after CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum?

Retinol speeds up skin renewal, which makes the skin more sensitive to UV rays. Without sun protection the next morning, the skin is more exposed to redness after sun exposure and to brown spots, and can lose the smoothing benefits of CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.

Can CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum be used with vitamin C?

Yes, but not at the same time. CeraVe suggests using vitamin C in the morning and CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum in the evening. Keep the serum for the evening only, on clean, dry skin, and finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

How often should I apply CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum?

Apply CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum in the evening only. CeraVe recommends starting with one or two applications a week so your skin gets used to retinol, then increasing gradually if the formula is well tolerated. If you feel discomfort, space out the applications.
