Q: is this a clear serum?

submitted by emesse - 19 days ago
  • A: Hello emesse. Thank you for your interest in CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum-1 fl oz. While most hyaluronic acid serums are purely water-based (and thus clear), CeraVe's formula is a cream-gel hybrid. The white, opaque appearance is due to the inclusion of: Three Essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): Lipids that help restore the skin's natural barrier. Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): A soothing and hydrating ingredient. Dimethicone: A silicone that gives the product its silky, creamy look and smooth application feel. We hope this information is helpful and that you can use our products with great success!

Hydrating, lightweight, and perfect for soft, heal

I’ve been using the CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum consistently and I really love how lightweight and hydrating it feels on my skin. The texture is smooth, non-sticky, and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy feeling. It contains hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which help keep my skin moisturized and soft throughout the day. I usually apply it morning and night after cleansing, and it layers well under moisturizer and makeup. After a few uses, my skin looked healthier, plumper, and more refreshed. This serum is perfect for dry or dehydrated skin and feels very gentle, even on sensitive skin.

good but not life changing

I really like it! Per the advice of Chatgpt, I apply this to damp skin right after cleansing and I've noticed a difference in my skins moisture retention! I have pretty sensitive skin and I'm acne prone.

Non-Irritating and Non-Comedogenic Serum Boosts Hy

This serum is very soothing and moisturizing. And it absorbs well. The ingredients have three essential ceramides, hydraulic acid and vitamin B5. This does not make you break out, and it adds the extra moisture you need for under your facial moisturizer.

Great

I've been using the CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum for a few weeks now, and it's become a really easy product to reach for in my routine. The texture is lightweight and silky, and it spreads effortlessly across my skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky or greasy feeling, which I really appreciate. As soon as I apply it, my skin feels more hydrated and comfortable. On days when my face feels tight or dry, this gives an instant plumping effect and makes my skin look smoother. When I use it at night, I wake up with skin that still feels soft and moisturized rather than dry. I like that it's fragrance-free and gentle. My skin can be sensitive, and this serum hasn't caused any irritation, redness, or stinging at all. It layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen, and I haven't had any issues with makeup pilling on top of it. Overall, it's a simple but effective hydrating serum that does exactly what I want it to do. It doesn't feel heavy, it works well with the rest of my skincare, and it keeps my skin feeling balanced and hydrated throughout the day.

A reliable, everyday serum for long-lasting hydrat

I’ve been using this serum daily and it has made a noticeable difference in how hydrated and smooth my skin feels. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any sticky or greasy feeling. It works great under moisturizer and makeup, keeping my skin feeling fresh and comfortable throughout the day. I also appreciate that it’s gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. After consistent use, my skin looks more plump and less dry, especially during colder or drier days.

Minimal changes but does hydrate

Dispenses easily. Product is the consistency of a light lotion. It was definitely hydrating when first applied. Did not leave your skin feeling sticky and there was no shine to it. It is also unscented. 4/5 because i saw minimal changes in my skins hydration after a month of use

Perfect at night before night cream

Recently changed my skincare routine on dermatologist recommendation due to sensitive skin. Switched away from retinols to this - love how it works with my sensitive skin. Effective but gentler. Use in the evening, alongside the ceraVe spf 30 in the morning.

Bigger package would be more effective

It is effective, I do use it every night and after every face wash. I also have to apply a few coats to fully feel moisturized and so you can’t see the dry skin. There’s no scent and my skin is very sensitive, it doesn’t cause redness or itchiness. In fact, if I forget to moisturize and my face gets red, it helps get rid of it after a few days. I wish the bottle was bigger because I usually have to apply a few layers at once.

More Cream Than Serum, But Super Hydrating

This product has been a lifesaver for my extra dry winter skin, especially while I’m on Accutane. My skin has been feeling tight, flaky, and sensitive, and this adds an immediate boost of hydration that actually lasts. That said, it’s not really a serum texture, it feels more like a lightweight cream, which I wasn’t expecting based on the name. Once I adjusted my expectations, I actually really liked how nourishing it feels. It absorbs well, layers nicely under moisturizer, and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. I do notice a slight stinging sensation right after applying, which I assume is due to my compromised skin barrier, but it fades quickly and hasn’t caused redness or irritation afterward. The only downside is the size. The bottle is very small, and with how often I’m reaching for it, I know I’ll go through it quickly. For that reason alone, I’m taking off one star. Overall, it’s a great hydrating product for sensitive, dry, or acne-treatment skin, and I’ll likely repurchase — I just wish it came in a larger size.
