CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum 30 ml

What I liked about this was the fact the retinol was encapsulated and so was less irritating than straight retinol. I'd used a few other brands of straight retinol before and had alot of peeling, including with a retinol eye cream which led to peeing under my eyes and on my browbone - not nice. I thought retinol wasn't for me but then I found this CeraVe one. It was lovely to apply and I started with a few times a week initially. It didn't give me any peeling, I just had the usual retinol purge of some blemishes over the first few weeks. What I didn't like about it was that the percentage of retinol is not disclosed, so I am not sure what I was putting on my face. I stopped using it after two months as wasn't seeing any benefits. Perhaps the retinol percentage is too low. I have moved on to a retinal now. I would recomened this product to smeone new to retinols or someone like me who'd had peeling from straight retinols before and wants to try sometihng less harsh.

I've seen a few reviews stating the retinol content is too low. It's 0.3%, which is great for daily use. "High Strength" retinol products use 1% and it's so harsh for mamy first time users you usually get a red trash, tingling/sensativity and peeling. You should not use a high strength retinol product every day. I'm 40 with dry skin and use this everyday in my nightly routine and use a 1%retinol product. 2x weekly.

Very harsh on skin. My face is burnt from the harsh chemicals in it.

This product or a combination of them all made my face break out into a rash

Didn't receive the product i ordered. Would have loved to receive it though.
