I can’t tolerate a stronger retinol yet postpartum, because I’ve been off of it for a while. This is a great segway product to get me back to a stronger product. It does not irritate your skin at all, leaves a beautiful glowy finish and feels great on the skin. I can even put it on my neck without bothering my skin, which is huge. I would recommend this for anyone in a similar situation, anyone that has never used a type of product like this before and wants to start or has very sensitive skin. It’s fantastic and very easy to use. Review: Significantly helped my acne scars - I had horrible cystic acne in my early teens that left a lot of scarring and hyperpigmentation on my face; mostly my cheeks, but small dots here and there on my temples too. I use prescription clindamycin for the occasional cystic acne now, but of course that doesn't do anything for scarring so I decided to branch out. I'm scared of needles so microneedling, while arguably not THAT scary, wasn't an option both because of my fear and because of the price... Hence, this product. I chose this one because it had a lot of reviews honestly, I am definitely a victim of the "oh, this product has close to five stars and blah blah so many reviews, that must mean it'll work on me!" mentality sometimes, I will admit, so I was a bit skeptical because I've taken this approach before with some products in the past and it didn't go well. THIS is the best choice I've ever made for a skincare product. While the scarring on my right cheek is still there, it is very minimal now and way less noticeable. As for my left cheek, it's literally almost completely gone. It's crazy. I've only been using this for like maybe 2 months, and just like that, bad acne scarring is gone. I didn't even know that was possible. That being said, just because this worked super well for me doesn't necessarily mean it'll work super well for you, everyone's skin is different! I will also add that the serum itself works very well on my oily skin. It's not drying, sticky, and it seems to absorb into my skin well, which is an issue I have with other products. A few minutes after applying it, I don't feel it whatsoever, both in feeling and appearance. You don't need very much of it either, which is pretty common in retinol, to my knowledge, but I really like that I can use just a teeny tiny bit every so often and still have results. Definitely worth a try if you're considering it for acne scar reduction. ## Features - [ POST ACNE RETINOL SERUM FOR FACE ] With encapsulated retinol, this facial serum helps skin look smoother and more even-toned.

Is it for ex. 1.00, 0.50, 0.25?** A: The website Beautypedia estimates that the retinol in this product is probably around 0.01% . You can tell because ingredients are listed in order of largest to smallest quantity and certain ingredients like some preservatives are known to be used at a certain percentage so you can figure out what the other ingredients quantity may be relative to those known quantity ingredients in the list. Check out the Beautypedia review. They give it 5 stars and they also note that while this is a lower strength retinol it can still be very effective for skin texture and everything else the product claims. It just won't work well on deep wrinkles and more major issues that would need a higher strength retinol, but the product does not make those claims. Personally this is good for me, I cannot use much higher or mid-strength retinols. Do note the ingredient RETINOL (over-the-counter ingredient) is not the same as prescription (tretinoin/retin-A) so the percentages are not comparable. **Q: What’s the difference between this serum and the Skin Renewing retinol?** A: Hi there, thanks for reaching out to us. Our Resurfacing Retinol Serum reduces the appearance of post-acne marks and pores and helps restore the protective skin barrier. Our Skin Renewing Retinol Serum reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin texture and radiance. We hope this information was helpful! **Q: Do i wash it off?** A: Hello! Thank you for inquiring about CeraVe Retinol Serum for Post-Acne Marks and Skin Texture | Pore Refining, Resurfacing, Brightening Facial Serum with Retinol | 1 Oz! No, you do not wash the serum off. Allow the product to absorb into the skin and you will apply your moisturizer over top of the serum. **Q: Should I use this in my 20s?** A: I wish I had used it in my 20s! I HIGHLY recommend. What’s your reason for wanting to use this? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great retinol *by N***E on May 28, 2026* This is probably one of my favorite products for skincare!

Ingredients such as retinol help with wrinkles and are very effective. 2 pumps is all you really need as the consistency isn’t thick, so it spreads easily and the product will last longer. ## Frequently Bought Together - CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum For Post Acne Marks, Formulated With Licorice Root Extract & Niacinamide, Brightening Serum & Pore Minimizer For Face, Post Acne Skin Barrier Repair, Non-Comedogenic - CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide, Ultra-Lightweight, Oil-Free Moisturizer for Face, 3 Ounce - CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser, Formulated With Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, & Ceramides, Gentle BHA Exfoliating Face Wash Smooths & Softens Skin, Non Comedogenic & Fragrance Free, 16 Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/151301207-resurfacing-retinol-serum-for-post-acne-marks-formulated-with-licorice](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/151301207-resurfacing-retinol-serum-for-post-acne-marks-formulated-with-licorice) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
