CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum (30ml) is a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum designed to reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and visible pores. Unlike traditional high-strength retinols that can be drying, this formula focuses on skin smoothing and brightening while maintaining the skin's protective barrier.
Core Ingredients & Benefits
-
Encapsulated Retinol: A stabilized form of Vitamin A that is released gradually into the skin. This helps to resurface the skin’s texture and minimize the look of post-blemish marks without the intense irritation often associated with retinol.
-
Licorice Root Extract: A natural brightening ingredient known for its ability to help even out skin tone and improve overall radiance.
-
Three Essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): Work together to lock in moisture and help restore the skin’s natural protective barrier.
-
Niacinamide: Helps to soothe the skin and reduce redness, making the resurfacing process more comfortable for sensitive skin.

Application & Usage
-
How to Use: Apply a small amount (pea-sized) to the entire face in the evening after cleansing.
-
Sun Protection: Retinol increases sun sensitivity. It is mandatory to apply SPF 30+ every morning while using this product to protect your progress and prevent further discoloration.
-
Introduction: If you are new to retinol, start by applying it 2–3 times a week and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin builds tolerance.
Why It Is Unique
-
Encapsulation Technology: By encapsulating the retinol, CeraVe ensures the active ingredient penetrates deeply and works effectively while being significantly gentler on the skin's surface.
-
Non-Comedogenic: Formulated specifically for those prone to breakouts; it will not clog pores.
-
Fragrance & Paraben-Free: Minimalist formula designed to reduce the risk of irritation.
Pro Tip: This serum is specifically for "post-acne" marks (the red or brown spots left behind after a blemish has healed). If you have active, inflamed acne, you may want to start with the CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser before moving on to this resurfacing treatment.
