Oxidized
Despite the mechanism in the top to prevent oxidation in this product, it oxidized. I think it is not to be traveled with by plane. You can see in the photo how there was leakage from the cap.

Orange Residue
This product does work but as someone with pale skin, it leaves a horrible orange residue. I found myself always needing to wipe the edges of my face and brows to get any product completely off. There are other vitamin C products that work just as well that don’t require that extra step.

Less than one * — A v. strong DNB. Oxidizes post haste
"Smoothen" is not a word. Smooth/Smoothes is a verb. In spite of the L=-ascorbic acid—this is junk. See how many buyers are asking some online club whether it ought to be an ungly orange and smell like i-don't-know-what. As a melanoma-experienced person, I use a lot of this daily, and it went bad shortly—into the "do not use because it may be harmful category." Waste of money. Waste of time, Makes one doubt the value of other CeraVe products . . . . . .

Great product, Great price
I have used this product for many years. It is no longer available where I usually buy it so I looked at Target and found it at a great price! I bought two and hope to keep buying it at Target in the future!

Don't know if it works, do know it leaves your skin looking orange!
My dermatologist recommends Cerave products, so I was happy to give this one a try. While I didn't experience the burning others mention (and I have had that happen w/another line's Vitamin C serum), it definitely left an orange tint on my skin, so I've tossed it. Can't recommend this one.

Turns my skin orange
1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 2 months ago
Hello Judith! The Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum is formulated with 10% pure Vitamin C to help brighten the skin and restore its natural protective barrier. Because pure Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, it can oxidize when exposed to air and light, which may result in a slight yellow to amber color in the product or a temporary orange tint on the skin. A helpful tip to minimize this is to apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and follow immediately with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to lock in the Vitamin C and prevent its interaction with the environment. Ensuring the airtight tube is screwed on tightly after every application and stored in a cool, dark place will also help preserve the serum's potency and prevent further oxidation. We look forward to providing you with the brightening and nourishing benefits of this formula for a beautiful, refreshed appearance.

Tried and true vitamin C
This vitamin c serum is the perfect mix of affordable and quality. I noticed a difference within a day of using this easy to apply product. The serum absorbs quickly and leaves behind skin that feels and looks healthy. The packaging is well thought out to help keep the possibility of oxidation at bay.

High quality Vitamin C
I absolutely love the cerave vitamin c serum. Other vitamin C serums have caused allergic reactions to my face, but this one never has. I love that it’s fragrance free but appears to be just as potent as other leading brands. It’s thick enough to not drip everywhere but thin enough to absorb easily. I like that it is very easy to get out of the tube and does not make a mess. I will continue to purchase this vitamin C!

We take strict measures to guarantee our customers the most optimal and active product formulation, further protected by a precise packaging design. The color change is a good indicator that your serum is formulated with the most powerful ingredients, we do not add things like bleaching agents to stop this natural process from happening.

Love the formula! Not sticky, very light, absorbs quickly. The tube it comes in is horrendous. Taking the cap off is hard and placing it back on is even harder. Would love a change in the packaging to a bottle with a dropper.

My Derm Told Me to Buy
My dermatologist recommended this and said it’s the best she’s found—even compared to much more expensive options. She uses it herself, and I can see why. It has made a noticeable difference in my skin, and I’ll definitely keep using it.

Amazing
I've been using CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum in the mornings, and it fits into my routine more easily than I expected. The texture is lighter than I imagined for a vitamin C product and doesn't feel oily or heavy on my skin. It sinks in pretty fast and leaves my face feeling smooth rather than sticky. What I noticed first was how comfortable it feels. My skin usually reacts to vitamin C, but this one didn't sting or cause redness. After a couple of weeks, my skin started to look a bit brighter overall, especially on days when it usually looks dull or tired. It's not dramatic, but it's a steady, healthy-looking glow. I also like that my skin still feels hydrated after applying it. Some vitamin C serums leave my face feeling tight, but this one doesn't. It layers well with moisturizer and sunscreen, and I haven't had issues with pilling or irritation when I use it consistently. Overall, it feels like a dependable, low-effort vitamin C serum. It's not flashy or intense, but it quietly does its job, and that's why I keep reaching for it.
