Dermatologist Reviews CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum | Dr. Jenny Liu

[@amandatucker6334]

I've been using it for about 3 or 4 months now. It has really improved the texture of my skin. I have oily sensitive skin. I even put it under my eyes. I tried 2 other retinols and they were irritating my skin and was painful. I love this. I use 2 pumps and use it on my neck too. I'm 41 years old.

[@NicePerson58]

It's great seeing a board certified derm using face product as a treatment for undereye area. Since eye cream can be pricey, this topical vitamin A is a great alternative.

[@rjsantics7156]

I've recently started with Cerave resurfacing retinol and I use it as an eye cream. It's actually helpful 😊 I don't even use it every night like it says on the packaging. Just use a little Vaseline around the corners of your eyes, mouth and nose and go for it!

[@muslim5067]

I did not know that you can use it as an eye cream?

[@rjsantics7156]

@muslim5067 It's been good for my eye area. Not every night, though 😊

[@kanerhaj9299]

I’ve been using it for a month and glad that It doesn’t give me any irritations

[@tD-oo2ox]

brilliantly explained, thank you. All of these ingredients have been a mystery to me as most of the messages out there are from people interested in selling their products. I appreciate an objective and knowledgeable explanation. I have been using this for a couple of weeks and now I know why! I'm using it for anti aging, not acne scars.

[@friedteabags6570]

Hello! Question: Can I use this together with my Adapalene 0.1% Gel? Thanks, great video! 🤗

[@muziklives101]

How come the percentage isn't listed on this product and is it important to know the percentage?

[@Itsgunjanjain_98]

Hello dr. I have turned 25 so can i use this serum to just get in use with retinoids? To start my retinoids / anti aging skincare journey…?????

[@larakhattar6257]

Hello Dr thank u for always helping us❤ I use as a morning routine: Cerave sa smoothing cleanser Vichy lift active vitamin c serum Cerave facial moisturizer Sunscreen Night routine: Cerave sa smoothing cleanser Vichy lift active H.A serum Cerave resurfacing retinol serum Cerave facial moisturizer Is it a gd routine?

[@sevenes7]

Yes very minimal but great stuff! This is kinda my routine as well

[@bryannatijerina1642]

yes! I love this product. it slowly but surely faded my red hyperpigmentation scars from acne. do i use a moisturizer before or after this? do you recommend the daily cerave moisturizer lotion

[@dzanalalic4908]

[@marcellef8302]

This was a great review, and very informative. Thank you 😊

[@beatrice9311]

Hello. I just bought this item and I'm very hopeful after hearing such positive comments from professionals like you. My issue is that, not a lot of budget friendly items with such good ingredients have all of their products in my country and we can't buy them from outside due to international restrictions. So this retinol serum is the only retinol serum from Cerave available to me where I live. My question is; while applying this to my overall face, can I use this under and on the corners of my eyes? If possible; I'd also like to know the difference between La Roche Posay's anti aging eye products; the Redermic R and Redermic C and if I can use one of these with their own Vitamin C serum in the same routine or should I not mix them at all. Thank you very much for your time.

[@xnicaisy326]

Can you also use this product if you're currently experiencing acne, or is this product mostly just for post-acne scarring?

[@thatgirlwiththeboyname3578]

I know this is an old video.. but I’ve been using this retinol for roughly a month now. I have been using it at night only after I cleanse. However the cleanser I use is CeraVe’s Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser w/ Benzoyl Peroxide. I’ve seen people say it’s okay to use these two CeraVe products together, but I’ve also heard you shouldn’t.. what’s right?!

[@traceysmvr]

Benzoyl peroxide is extremely drying. I would hold off on that

[@Ty-mu2on]

Foaming cleansers of any kind can also cause micro-abrasions so keep that in mind 👍

[@lanaofficiel4042]

Thanks Dr.Liu for all the work that you do in making these videos for us. I am a Nurse Practitioner and I always learn something new and useful from you every time I view your videos. Thanks again.

Hello ma'am. I'm 27. I started using retinol just few weeks ago. I'm using this one & I've no bad reaction. At my age how frequently should I use retinol & should I increase the strength anytime soon? I only have mild acne problem

[@paulpaul1644]

Hello! I really appreciate your review of the product. What do you think about the isopropyl myristate from ingredients list? Can it be comedogenic for someone with acne prone skin? Thank you!

[@omarosama5962]

Can u answer this?

[@lapharmacie98]

Hey, I’m a pharmacist. I wouldn’t worry too much about it since it’s pretty low on the ingredient list, and the formulation is specifically intended for oily acne prone skin so it was probably tested on such skin as well. Moreover, these comedogenicity test are done on rabbit ears, so they aren’t really accurate. Also it’s more about the formulation as a whole rather than looking at particular ingredients. Hope this helps

[@nidaafzal9389]

It works wonders for acne prone skin..result will seen after 6 months of consistent use

[@stgermainleo4643]

Does it help with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation? How do I apply it on my face? On the PIH spots or whole face?

[@mahnoorasghar1801]

I don't acne prone skin. I just want to use retinol for anti aging purposes , for my fine lines and wrinkles. Should I use this or any other one?

[@vvieites001]

Yes! This works for anti aging as well :) Dr. Dray on KZbin is a dermatologist with several videos on how to use retinol and it’s benefits. She loves this product

[@norhanachenabdullah-5285]

hello dr. can this resurfacing retinol serum be use in every night until 2-3 months ?

[@artsyfartsyme]

Is there a retinols product that’s safe for around the eyes? That’s where I need help the most. On the eyelids and under the eyes. Thank you. 😊

Hey, My age is 22 and ve so many scars on my face and before this i never use any such product so should I use this ??

[@joycej9415]

This is the best for my dry skin that does get milia. It has helped me get rid of them. I use a moisturizer afterward. Anything with fragrance makes me itch and this doesn't have fragrance. It seems to be helping my fine lines. I need something that helps more in removing my dark sun spots. This has lightened, maybe it will eventually get rid of them?

Hey so I have a lot of pustules and was wondering how effective this would be getting rid of it. I have been using it for 7 weeks and am starting to slowly see it working but is it really that effective or is it better to use BHA products.

[@Zetsumei_]

Hi! Maybe this information will help you🥰 As a person who’s struggling with acne and post acne marks, Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA, vitamin C, cycaplast and effaclar duo from La Rosh Posay really REALLY helped me. I use moisturizer and cleansing gel from CeraVe as well. I also gonna try this retinol serum. But if you have a lot of pustules I’d recommend you Tyrosur gel/powder and Sudocrem. Hope you’re doing alright🫶🏻

[@vvieites001]

It’s because retinol causes your skin to purge. You’ll go through what’s called the “retinoid uglies” before you start to see improvements in your skin. You have to use it consistently for months before seeing results. Start with once or twice a week and see how your skin tolerates it before using it daily. Also, use it with a moisturizer. Some dermatologists recommend the sandwich method-moisturizer, let it dry, then use a pea sized amount of the retinol serum, then add moisturizer on top again. That will prevent excess drying and redness that is normal with topical vitamin A. Hope this helps!

[@vvieites001]

Dr. dray on KZbin is a dermatologist who talks a lot about skin care and gas vids on how yo use retinol. A lot of ppl give up on it too soon so they don’t see the results. Consistency and moisturizer are key :)
