Q: Hi, I'm 57 and recently lost weight and now have wrinkles under my chin. Is the hydrating hyaluronic acid the best product to use for that issue? what is the best regimen to use?

submitted by Diane - 6 months ago
  • A: HI There! The hyaluronic acid will focus mainly on maintaining hydration in skin. We would recommend to check out the Cerave Skin Renewing Retinol Serum that will help reduce the look of fine lines & wrinkles. About 50% of the outermost layer of your skin is comprised of ceramides.1 That’s why all of our CeraVe skincare products were developed with dermatologists and are formulated with three essential ceramides to help restore and maintain your skin barrier, thereby helping to lock in moisture and protect against irritants.

I use it at night, as a person who makes many facial expressions I find peace and reliability in this product. My face feels bouncy and lines are less and less visible while using this product over time. It’s a good beginning product for a young person feeling out the skin care world.

Too sticky, pulls up on skin

This serum is much too sticky and thick. It leaves my skin feeling greasy. When layerd with other skincare products, and even makeup, I’ve had issues with pilling. Which I’ve never had before. I have very dry skin, including eczema, so maybe it’s just the combination of the product with my skin, but I do not recommend.

Amazing

Lily - 1 month ago
Pros: Works wonders for my skin. It makes it look so glowy and healthy. It clears my acne/reduces inflammation, reduces the appearance of my pores, and eliminates my dark under eye circles. I use it every morning and 4 nights a week (I alternate it with my retinol). Cons: If you don’t moisturize after putting it on, it WILL most likely dry out your skin. Just be wary of that. It also burned my skin the first night I tried it because it reacted with other products I used, so I tend to use it by itself paired with a moisturizer.

This stuff is so good! I normally use the CeraVe Daily Moisturizer and that works well. However, I’ve noticed lately that my face has more dry patches and just looked dull. I tried this stuff hoping it might save my skin and OMG! Just after a week of use, my skin is more moisturized and so soft. Dark spots from old acne scars have lightened up and I’m glowing. I only use it at night so I can’t say anything about it pilling when other products are added on top.

I loathe looking at myself in the mirror so most of what I say is based on feeling/touch. This feels like a very good hydrating lotion. The perfect way to apply this is right after cleansing while the skin is damp followed by spritzing the face with rosewater/water after application and then a moisturizing cream or lotion. In this method, one pump covers my face and neck. If I add after my first product (like vit c or retinol), I skip the spritz until after applied so I don’t dilute or irritate step number one. In this method, it takes a pump to a pump and a half to cover face and neck. A bottle for me lasted a month to a month and a half at twice a day because I did use a bit more closer to the end of the bottle. Using just a pump twice you might be able to stretch it to two months. Is this hydrating? I honestly have no idea if it is. Yes, it is when applied but I always follow with moisturizer. CeraVe moisturizer. The kinds that also contain hyaluronic acid and niacinamide and ceramides and other hydrating ingredients. It does contribute to my face being hydrated but I can’t say that it plumps on its own. Would I buy again? I have! In my routine, working with the rest of my products, I feel that it does awesome things. A great addition for hydration. Why did I only give four stars? If this was a more common form of a serum where the HA would be more of the main ingredient instead of sharing the spotlight with all the other ingredients, it would be as expected. If this was an ingredient that causes irritation where the extra hydrating ingredients were used as a buffer, it would be expected (like their retinol and vitamin c). But it’s a great product overall and I feel it does it’s purpose very well.

Slopez76 - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
Initially I liked the product but that is because I washed my face and used it alone. Once you attempt to layer another product like lotion or sunscreen OMG!!! Pilling like crazy. It reminded me of when I was in elementary school and would put Elmer's glue on my hand and let it dry. Then I'd peel the layers of glue off as if it was skin. Well this coupled under a layer gives you the same effect. I had to take a clean/dry towel and roll the little white pieces off of my face. Disgusting.
1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 4 months ago
Hello Slopez76, We are so sorry to hear about the issue you are having with CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum. At times, if this very hydrating serum r is layered under or over another hydrating skincare product that has not fully absorbed into skin, it can cause the moisturizer to ball up or “pill”. To help avoid this, we recommend allowing the first product you apply in your skincare routine to fully dry and absorb into skin until it feels dry to the touch before layering on the next product. We hope this information was helpful and we will be sure to pass your comments along for further consideration. Thank you for trying CeraVe!

In combo with other CeraVe products, this has helped clear and soften my skin. I have been having so many skin issues due to stress and other factors and been so down about constant breakouts. After some research, I threw everything away and started using a CeraVe regime and in 5 weeks, my skin is almost completely clear! I promise I am not a commercial, this stuff just works.
