Disappointed
I bought this last month and the pump is flawed, it’s missing the tube that allows toy to pump it out of the bottle.

Back-up turned star player
Worked better than retinol for me. I started using it during one of my pregnancies as an alternative, but never went back! It’s gentle and effective, price point is perfect. It may take a little longer to show results, but worth it for me.

Awful packaging
The pump does not work. This is the 3rd Cetaphil serum I have bought thinking the pump problem was isolated but the pump never work. Love the product but wish the pump would be fixed for the face and eye serum.

Works well
Works. I noticed my skin looked healthier and more supple after using this product for a couple of weeks. The pump gets all the product out when you use it up. I dislike how much plastic there is but my face is too sensitive for other products. I have rosacea prone skin and this did not hurt my face.

Glowing skin acheived
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone with relatively oily skin, I’m always trying to make sure my skincare routine is holistic without globbing on so much onto my face. This serum truly is light weight and layers well underneath my gel face moisturizer. My face already looks refreshed after this first week of using it.

Could be great if the serum was thinner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cetaphil Healthy Renew Face Serum leaves my skin smooth, hydrated, and radiant—lightweight and perfect for sensitive skin! Very sticky, no scent and I really didn’t like the beads inside the serum. I did like the pump for the serum instead of the alternative liquid dropper.

Serum that works better than lotion alone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ingredients you can trust. I never believe in a serum before until trying this out. The effectiveness of the product is great compared to lotion. The scent is pleasant with a smooth texture. Really nice

Serum
It’s great for sensitive skin. I have rosacea and this doesn’t bother me at all. It’s the only serum I can use.

Great for over 50 skin
I’ve used Cetaphil products for about 30 years. It is so nice to see them offering products like this beyond just the basic cleanser and lotion. I use this serum in the mornings with the corresponding eye serum. They leave my skin feeling moisturized all day! I also like the way they feel under makeup—not too oily, not pilling, just refreshed and smooth. I have very sensitive skin, but this doesn’t irritate my skin at all (there’s no scent to it!). It’s a very effective alternative to other much more expensive options.

Golden Goodness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight to the point where it literally feels like nothing on my skin. It’s easy to apply and absorbs quick. It did not bother my sensitive skin in the least. The bottle is super cute and easy to use. I love the instant glow it gives my skin! If I’m using Healthy Renew Face Serum, I don’t need to use foundation or bronzer - it’s that good!

Rash Central
I typically love Cetaphil products but this one is an utter disappointment. It made not only my skin break out in a rash, blister and ooze, but also my sisters’. The only product we used after it was the cetaphil healthy renew night cream (after the serum had absorbed). We have no problem with the cream. Nothing in the serum ingredients list mentions anything we are allergic to. Sensitive folks beware!

Easy to use serum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This face serum is easy to use the pump works well to push out the perfect amount. The serum spreads evenly and smoothly. No strong smell to it and dries perfectly.

Caused acne on someone not acne prone
Caused acne while I am generally not acne prone. Texture leaves a sticky slightly tacky feel. Would not recommend for sensitive skin.

Didn't agree with my skin
I wanted to love this serum... This serum has a wonderful weightlessness on the face and feels great during application. It also feels very hydrating. Unfortunately, it breaks my skin out and causes multiple whiteheads within eight hours of application. I discontinue use and my skin quickly clears and have no issues until I (foolishly) try this product again. Which is such a shame because I love the feeling of it. :(

Must use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the best serums I’ve used. And for it being a drugstore brand it highly competes with premier brands like algenist which is my favorite.. loved it

Lightweight add to your routine...
Cetaphil is a blind trust for me. The lightweight formula replaces their facial moisturizer in the morning before makeup. Nice option & im a sucker for marketing. I'd buy again.
