For beginners, it's not bad. Initially, it helped me, but after some time, its effectiveness decreased. At first, it worked well, but then I started getting breakouts. The acne subsided for a while, but after a couple of months, everything returned to how it was before I started using it. I used the product for about 5-6 months.
After using the products for the second week, I started experiencing some breakouts. I understand that this can be normal. Overall, I am pleased with the condition of my skin. I used a set from CeraVe which included a cleansing gel, retinol, and a mattifying cream. After two weeks, my skin became firmer and its tone improved. Although I did experience some minor breakouts, they dried up quickly. So far, I am satisfied with the results.
This is a great serum; I noticed results about two months after starting to use it. Although the percentage of retinol isn't specified, the serum does its job effectively. I did experience some tingling on my skin during the first two applications.
I purchased this product from a pharmacy along with the face wash gel from the same line. I use it in the evening after cleansing my face with the deep-cleansing gel. While experiences may vary, I've read many positive reviews, and I must say it works great on my skin too. I often struggle with deep, painful pimples that leave marks afterward. However, after just a week of using this, I noticed the first positive changes. The existing breakouts disappeared, and no new ones have appeared. I've been using it for a little over a month now, and during this time, I haven't had any new large, deep, painful pimples. Even the marks from previous breakouts have almost vanished. My skin tone has become more even, and I don't even feel the need to use foundation. I'm very pleased with the results.
Unfortunately, the percentage of retinol is not specified. However, I can tell that it's very low. There's no noticeable effect of retinol. The serum feels quite neutral.
I really like this serum and have purchased it multiple times. The delivery, as always, is THE BEST.
Girls, this is simply WOW! I first tried this serum in 2022 when I was 21, and as expected, I went through a "purging" phase, which I successfully overcame. By the end of this year, I faced the same skin issues I had two years ago, so I decided to use this serum again. Since I'm not a beginner and have quite a few products with different active ingredients, I started using it every evening. I've been using the serum for two weeks now (along with skin recovery, of course), and the results are clear. I have fewer breakouts, painful under-the-skin pimples, and closed comedones, and my post-acne marks are fading. My skin looks smoother, more radiant, healthy, and feels so pleasant to touch. Honestly, I'm thrilled! I didn't expect this serum to help improve my skin condition once again!
It dries the skin a bit, but doesn't reduce imperfections as advertised.
Could you please tell me if it should be used every day?
Retinol is simply amazing and perfect for beginners. I've been using it for two weeks, and my skin has already started to improve. My pores have reduced, and my skin texture has evened out.
It contains only 0.3% retinol, which is good for young women starting out. If you're over 40, look for products with 1% or higher.
I didn't quite understand it. I applied it on my face as instructed, especially on dry skin. However, it didn't remove acne marks, instead, it caused new inflammations. Inflammations even appeared after a month of using it, when my skin was supposed to adapt to it. I like this product line, just not this particular product.
I have freckles and a pigmentation spot. The serum with retinol quickly and noticeably reduced both the visibility of freckles and the spot. At first, the spot peeled a little, but only for the first few days. After that, everything was fine. I am satisfied, the effect is noticeable.
I have been using this product for two months. I had been treating my skin for about a year for acne with Effezel, and this serum with retinol was recommended to me by a dermatologist. So, as for the effect of the skincare routine, my pores are not enlarged, my skin is smooth, and the color of my skin was normal. It is claimed that it helps restore the protective barrier, and while my skin is not particularly sensitive, I sometimes experience slight dryness. However, when I apply moisturizer after half an hour, it goes away. In conclusion, if you follow the entire routine, which includes using the face wash and moisturizer from this brand, it all works together.
A very sweet product. It has almost no effect. I do not recommend it.
It helped reduce acne.
This is my first experience using it, and I have acne and post-acne. I had to choose between expensive products and this one, and I decided to start with Cerave. The effect was noticeable within one month, and it was quite good. Initially, a lot of it cleared up, and now it's much less. So, I recommend it.
I have been using this product for over two months and I have not seen any results. I am disappointed.
I am writing a review after completely finishing the "miracle" serum. The effect is simply zero! I have never experienced anything like this before. It's terrible, a waste of money!
I have purchased this product for the second time. My skin has become radiant and its tone has evened out. I still have occasional breakouts, especially during my menstrual cycle, but they are rare. I also have the cleansing gel and hand cream from the same brand, and I am satisfied with all of them.
After using this cream, my skin broke out and it did not alleviate the inflammation, instead, it caused new ones.
The cream worked well for me. By using it every evening, almost all redness and subcutaneous inflammation disappeared.
Good cream. I can't fully evaluate it yet, as I have been using it for about a month, but there are noticeable changes - my skin tone has become more even. I use it three times a week, in the evening, and always on dry skin.
After three months of using the relief, all the imperfections disappeared completely, and my skin became clean and smooth. I gradually started using it every evening without experiencing any irritation. I highly recommend it!
The skin feels smooth, but the imperfections remain just as they were... probably due to a low concentration of retinol.
There was only one effect - my whole face broke out. Whether it was a "cleansing" process or some side effect, I won't be using it anymore. I used the product for 2 weeks.
This is the best cream I have ever used. It is perfect for problematic skin. With it, I have forgotten what it's like to have clogged pores and enlarged pores. I highly recommend it
I have been using it for about a year, every 3 days. And what can I say - there is no special effect for me. The pores remained the same size as before, and the sebum production did not decrease. It seems like the breakouts have decreased, although there weren't many before. It doesn't help with hormonal acne (PMS) and they don't even go away faster. There is a slight moisturizing effect after using it, and that's all. Maybe it's just not for me or maybe it's the product... I'm 23 years old, with oily/problematic/sensitive skin.
I really liked this serum, I have been using it every day for a month now. I have problematic skin. It makes my skin smoother, but it doesn't absorb old scars. Additionally, I haven't experienced any irritations from this serum. It quickly absorbs into the skin, previously I used a night cream for moisturizing, but now I don't need it. In the morning, my skin is not dry and it looks natural. Together with another product containing salicylic acid, my persistent breakouts quickly disappear.
Pay attention to the cautionary reviews. After using it for 2 months, I can conclude that this product clearly doesn't suit me. After each use, it causes a burning sensation on the skin and leaves a greasy shine. Moreover, it causes the appearance of small subcutaneous bumps, which means that the number of pimples actually increases. It doesn't even out the color and texture, but rather the opposite. The packaging mentioned a possible adjustment period, but it seems that it has already been exceeded.
I have been using it for a year now and my skin has visibly improved. There are no more redness or breakouts, and I am extremely satisfied!
I have ordered this product for the second time now, and it is the perfect choice for oily skin.
I previously wrote a negative review because there was a period of cleansing, as well as when I applied the product to dry skin after washing, my skin would become excessively dry by morning, even though I would cover it with moisturizing cream. Now, after washing my face, I apply a lightweight moisturizing lotion and once it is fully absorbed, I apply this serum and after 30 minutes, I cover it again with a restoring cream. Then, the serum works amazingly well. I highly recommend it!
The first product that actually works. It's shocking.
I have been using this serum for over 7 months. During the adjustment period, it did dry out my skin, but this is normal when starting to use products with retinol. The serum contains a small amount of encapsulated retinol, which works wonderfully and delivers on the promises made by the manufacturer - it evens out the texture, reduces pores, and helps blemishes heal faster. I really like this product. Since I have dry skin, I only use it up to twice a week, but everyone's needs are different. Lately, I have been enjoying the cosmetics from this brand. They also have a cleansing oil and a face milk for skincare.
I didn't buy it here, but abroad. I didn't see any effect, maybe it had a low concentration of retinol. I've been using it for more than 2 months every evening. When the jar runs out, I will buy something stronger. I still have occasional breakouts.
I really like this serum. It has a very nice and gentle texture that easily absorbs into the skin in almost an instant. I definitely recommend it. I just need to find something for the skin around my eyes.
Great product. This is my first time ordering this product and my first impressions are very pleasant: it has a wonderful texture, a neutral scent, and it nourishes the skin beautifully (no breakouts or inflammations). Perhaps this product will become a staple in my cosmetics collection.
The skin has become dry, as if burned, tight, painful with redness. I don't know how to restore it now. Terrible product. I do not recommend it.
Good day, I have a question about the concentration of retinol in this product. And why was my review deleted?
It's too early to talk about the effect, but the first impressions are positive. I have a question for the brand: is it possible to combine this serum with the Cerave Blemish Control gel (Aha & bha)? Not on the same day, but on different days: for example, using retinol twice a week in the evening and the acid gel five times a week in the evening routine? I would be grateful if you could answer :)
I ordered this product based on the reviews. From the first use, a couple of pimples appeared, but after that everything was fine. I didn't really understand the purpose of this serum as I didn't see any significant effects.
I really like it! I also have a gel for oily skin with sulfur and niacinamide. The breakouts started to fade quickly, and the post-acne marks are lightening as well.
I really liked it, my skin tone became more even and small breakouts disappeared. The only downside is the opaque bottle, you can't see how much product is left. I will definitely repurchase it.
I have read many reviews, mostly positive, and decided to try this product because I have combination skin and closed comedones issues. I bought it at the pharmacy and after using it for over a month, I can now leave a review. Firstly, the serum really works. At first, I used it every day and for a week or two, there were no changes at all. But then, everything that was under the skin started to come out. Secondly, it evens out the skin tone and makes the skin cleaner and smoother. I will continue to use it periodically and recommend it!
I did not buy it here. Over the course of 3 months, I did not see any effect at all. It felt like just any ordinary serum.
I ordered it for the first time based on reviews. Overall, it's not bad. I only used it at night, and in the morning, my skin does look more even-toned. If there are any inflammations, they become less noticeable.
I really like this product. The skin feels refreshed and silky smooth.
Well, here it is. This is my first retinol that I have been using from August 13th until today. The impression - nothing. 1 month - no changes. 2 months - comedones started to get inflamed. 3 months - skin started to peel off and pimples became painful. As for what they wrote in the reviews: polished skin - not once. I used everything correctly, with SPF, every day. Some say you should use it for 6 months to 1 year. I don't know whether to buy a second jar or not.
It was suitable for me. I am satisfied with the result. It doesn't cause any allergies. The skin feels tightened. I can't say that it smoothed out wrinkles (I have a frown line between my eyebrows), but the tone is better, the skin is more elastic, and it gives the impression that it reduced puffiness.
This serum is fantastic. You can see the results in just 7 days. It evens out the skin tone and eliminates acne scars.
I really liked the serum. I have been using it for 2 weeks at night. My skin feels smooth, my pores have reduced, and my complexion looks more even. I am satisfied!
I didn't buy it here, but I'll share a positive comment.
I've been using it for a month, combining it with acids, doing what's called skin cycling. I notice very good healing properties of the serum. Currently, my skin is in the "cleansing" process, and the serum is doing a great job with breakouts. It's the perfect retinol serum for skin cycling, definitely will buy it again. And, of course, sunscreen is a must with it, I use CeraVe.
This is the best thing that could happen to my skin! It is the perfect product, with visible results from the very first use. It is lightweight yet effective, and on top of that, it comes at such a pleasant price! I absolutely adore it! ❤️
I have been using it for two months and I really like it!
I have been using this product for a month now, so I can give my review. The effects of the retinol were noticeable right away in the morning. My skin felt firmer and cleaner. However, I did experience a period of purging. I gradually increased the usage and also used a cleansing gel from Serave, a niacinamide serum, and of course, SPF. Now my skin is much better, and acne scars are hardly visible. I will continue using it.
I have been using this product for 10 months now, and I have been using Serave products for about 3-4 years, so everything was in a complex. I have combination skin, occasional breakouts, and closed comedones. The product did not remove anything that was promised, neither the traces of breakouts (although they are not severe) nor the breakouts themselves, nor the skin tone. I thought that maybe I just needed to give it more time, but it has been almost a year and it doesn't seem to be ending, which is the only positive thing about it - it will last for more than a year! However, this is all subjective, if it worked for others, that's great! But I will continue to search for my own product. I love all other Serave products.
The serum is really good. I can already see that I will be buying more.
For problematic oily skin with post-acne, this serum is perfect: quality, packaging, price, and effect/action. I will definitely buy it again. Serave, you guys are awesome! Thank you!
The product exceeded all expectations. I have been using it for exactly 6 months. Prior to using it, my skin had severe subcutaneous rashes and inflammations that had lasted for over a year. I had lost hope that anything would help. As a last resort, I decided to give this product a chance and I do not regret it. In the first month of usage, I experienced even more breakouts, which was very alarming, but I continued using it. I should mention that I paired the retinol with a good nourishing cream. The result: after 2-3 months of usage, the large subcutaneous pimples started to disappear, followed by the resolution of the inflammation. Currently, my skin is not perfect, but it is the best it has been since my teenage years (I am now 22). I am very satisfied with the effectiveness of this product.
