CETAPHIL Gentle Clear Repairing Post-Acne Serum, Retinol Alternative, Oil Free Serum for Sensitive Skin, 1 Fl Oz, Bakuchiol, Improves Skin Tone & Post-acne Marks, Dermatologist Recommended Brand

I've used it literally only like 4 times, so far, and ALREADY seeing serious, skin tone differences and changes. Love love love this product, so far. I am so happy!!! I have these really dark or reddish pink large acne and skin scars, post-long COVID -triggered skin infection (took 3-4yrs to conquer, & was body-wide, too...and lingering major skin sensitivity. I had normal skin before my long COVID messed my body upppp. This product is helping me feel like me again, and at a rate I never would have believed possible again. Same with the Cerave SA body wash, which I have been pairing with the Dove melanin red letter label one... But that has taken 3mths, to show half the results this serum with my Neutrogena Hydro boost moisturizing gel is showing on my face. Holy hell.... So happy with Cerave so far, it is rly taking every product I otherwise use to a wholllllle new, amazing level!

The serum is light, love that the scent is not too much. So far it’s been doing great for my skin.

Skin is soft and not oily or dry

Unfortunately, it was too harsh for my sensitive skin. Possibly I was allergic to an ingredient as I broke out into a rash. Threw it away.

I bought this as a pregnancy-safe retinol alternative to treat the scarring I have left behind after all my first trimester breakouts. As long as I follow the bottle instructions of applying it every day, morning & night, I see a real difference in my redness and scarring…but if I forget to apply it even ONCE, I feel like all of it comes right back and my skin is left almost back where I started. I doubt I’ll repurchase.

It is a light weight serum. Not very heavy at all. After applying it, my skin does glow, but after half an hour, my skin feels very dry out. I'm effectiveness, I only used it for couple weeks, my old acne scar and some blemish look better, but still not seeing the big dark spot that I had during my pregnancy have any effect. I will keep using it though. The product does have a but of chemical scent, but disappear after couple minutes. It works well with my sunscreen since that is the only thing I put on after. Overall, I am going to try it to the end of this bottle, and hopefully I will see more even skin tone on my face.

This has been a good soap

Helped my face become a more equal color and reduced fine lines under my eyes. Much better than using Retinol which makes my face turn all red, itchy, and peeling.
