Is it for ex. 1.00, 0.50, 0.25?** A: The website Beautypedia estimates that the retinol in this product is probably around 0.01% . You can tell because ingredients are listed in order of largest to smallest quantity and certain ingredients like some preservatives are known to be used at a certain percentage so you can figure out what the other ingredients quantity may be relative to those known quantity ingredients in the list. Check out the Beautypedia review. They give it 5 stars and they also note that while this is a lower strength retinol it can still be very effective for skin texture and everything else the product claims. It just won't work well on deep wrinkles and more major issues that would need a higher strength retinol, but the product does not make those claims. Personally this is good for me, I cannot use much higher or mid-strength retinols. Do note the ingredient RETINOL (over-the-counter ingredient) is not the same as prescription (tretinoin/retin-A) so the percentages are not comparable. **Q: What’s the difference between this serum and the Skin Renewing retinol?** A: Hi there, thanks for reaching out to us. Our Resurfacing Retinol Serum reduces the appearance of post-acne marks and pores and helps restore the protective skin barrier. Our Skin Renewing Retinol Serum reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin texture and radiance. We hope this information was helpful! **Q: Do i wash it off?** A: Hello! Thank you for inquiring about CeraVe Retinol Serum for Post-Acne Marks and Skin Texture | Pore Refining, Resurfacing, Brightening Facial Serum with Retinol | 1 Oz! No, you do not wash the serum off. Allow the product to absorb into the skin and you will apply your moisturizer over top of the serum. **Q: Should I use this in my 20s?** A: I wish I had used it in my 20s! I HIGHLY recommend. What’s your reason for wanting to use this? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely recommended *by on Reviewed in the United States August 11, 2026* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Really happy with this product! It feels nice on my skin, absorbs well, and leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft, and comfortable. The quality is great, and I’m very happy with the results so far. Definitely worth trying! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fixed my skin barrier problems. *by on Reviewed in the United States August 30, 2026* Saved my skin. Love this product.I seen an improvement after 2 days of use. Definitely resurfaces, which is what I wanted. Skin barrier is healthier. Dry skin is gone. Stubborn red patch from rosacea is gone. Pores less visible. Smooth and easily blends.Works well after I use a cetaphil cream to foam facewash for normal to dry skin. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By The 3rd Day!! (Updated) *by on Reviewed in the United States October 18, 2025* I bought this product because I came across a YouTube short that claimed this exact CeraVe Retinol product could keep my pores clear. I'm a male in my late 30s and ever since I hit puberty my face became oily. A lot of my years since I became conscious of my oily skin I started to carry a piece of paper towel in my pocket to wipe my face throughout the day. Bounty absorbs my face oils way better than any of those face sheets meant to absorb oil. The summer heat is the worst for me, however, ever since the 3rd day of using this product my skin has stopped producing so much oil! I'm shocked!! It's like why did it take me so long to find a product capable of making my face soft and matte. It's not common for me at all to have a clean, fresh looking face in the summer. Usually I look like a hot, stressed greasy mess in the heat. I avoid going out as much as possible during the summer. This product is bringing my confidence back! I'm not having to wipe my face as much anymore. It's truly an unexpected blessing!! I was not expecting it to help my skin so much! Wow! I will be buying this product from here on out. It's truly amazing for problematic skin.November Update: I had been using this retinol every night but I started to back off. It was making my skin look nasty like dried out and shiny in some spots. My oily skin ended up returning unfortunately which was surprising. Seemed very promising at first. The good thing is I found another product that has been helping control my oily skin. It's actually meant to control oil. BLITHE Targeted Pore Serum with 22% Niacinamide for Oil Control can be found here on Amazon. Been using this product for a few days now and it is doing everything the retinol was doing for me at first but without the dry, flaky, shiny skin. It is no longer hot outside so I'm also not sweating as much. For now it is truly helping my oily skin but the real test will come by the time summer comes again. ## Frequently Bought Together - CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum For Post Acne Marks, Formulated With Licorice Root Extract & Niacinamide, Brightening Serum & Pore Minimizer For Face, Post Acne Skin Barrier Repair, Non-Comedogenic - CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide, Ultra-Lightweight, Oil-Free Moisturizer for Face, 3 Ounce - CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser, Formulated With Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, & Ceramides, Gentle BHA Exfoliating Face Wash Smooths & Softens Skin, Non Comedogenic & Fragrance Free, 16 Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/151301207-cerave-resurfacing-retinol-face-serum-with-niacinamide-pore-minimizer-1oz](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/151301207-cerave-resurfacing-retinol-face-serum-with-niacinamide-pore-minimizer-1oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
