Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the CeraVe Retinol Serum suitable for sensitive or blemish-prone skin?

A: Yes! The CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum is specifically formulated for blemish-prone skin, including sensitive skin types. It uses encapsulated retinol — a gentler form of retinol — which releases gradually to minimise irritation. Niacinamide further soothes and comforts the skin, while ceramides help maintain the barrier. It is also non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores.

Q: Can I use this retinol serum every day?

A: Yes, the CeraVe Retinol Serum is designed for daily use. If you are new to retinol, you may wish to start by applying it every other night and gradually increase frequency as your skin adjusts. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen during daytime use, as retinol can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.

Q: What does niacinamide do in this serum?

A: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is a multi-tasking skincare ingredient that soothes and comforts the skin, helps minimise the appearance of blemishes, and supports an even complexion. In combination with retinol and ceramides, niacinamide helps balance the skin while reinforcing the skin's natural protective barrier.

Q: How long does it take to see results with the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum?

A: Visible improvements in skin texture, tone, and pore appearance are typically noticed with consistent daily use over 4–8 weeks. As with all retinol products, patience and consistency are key to achieving the best results.
