CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Face Serum - 1 fl oz: Dark Spot Reduction, Skin Tone Improvement, Paraben-Free

A: Agree about the garbage response from Cerave for % of retinol! Fortunately there are other companies that do disclose that info. DO BETTER CERAVE!!

A: FYI, Neutrogena labels the percent quantity of retinol.

A: @Cerave Product Expert, in a product advertised as a Retinol Serum, Retinal should be an ACTIVE ingredient with the % disclosed

A: Found this on the web but cannot guarantee accuracy. "The Resurfacing Retinol Serum contains 32 ingredients. This CeraVe serum retinol percentage is 0.3% encapsulated retinol..."

A: Hello Ms1124! It's wonderful you're interested in our Resurfacing Retinol Face Serum! Regarding the use of a salicylic acid cleanser with this serum, both are active ingredients designed to address skin concerns. Combining them might increase the potential for dryness or irritation, especially if your skin is sensitive. We generally recommend a cautious approach: perhaps use the salicylic acid cleanser in the morning and the retinol serum in the evening, or alternate them on different nights to ensure your skin remains comfortable and balanced. Always observe how your skin reacts to new combinations.

A: Great question! Yes, you can use a salicylic acid cleanser with the CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Face Serum, but you should not layer both a leave-on salicylic acid product and retinol in the same routine to avoid irritation. To incorporate both, use the salicylic acid cleanser in the morning and the retinol serum at night.
