The only retinol my partner's skin can tolerate.
Their skin is extremely reactive and sensitive but this retinol has worked great.

Good product to introduce me to retinol. I used it both on my face and to treat my KP (keratosis pilaris). I quickly noticed improvement of texture in face, but not as much on KP.

Since it's not cruelty free (wasn't aware of this when purchasing) I won't buy it again.

This product smooths out my face everytime I use it, when I wake up my face looks more even and plump; I love this product!

Very good and not irritating at all, but that might be because it has too low percentage of retinol. Cerave doesn’t officially state how much retinol does this serum have, so that’s why I don’t longer use it.

Did nothing for me
Didn't do anything for me, but also didn't break me out. I was expecting it to help with my closed comedones.
