CeraVe Retinol Serum for Face — 1 oz Fragrance-Free Night Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide for Smoother Texture

CeraVe Anti Aging Retinol Serum is a dermatologist-developed night serum that uses encapsulated retinol, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to help smooth fine lines while supporting the skin’s moisture barrier.

This lightweight, fragrance-free facial serum combines time‑released encapsulated retinol with CeraVe’s three essential ceramides and MVE Technology to deliver hydration and renewal without over-drying. Formulated to be non-comedogenic and gentle enough for many skin types, the serum aims to refine texture and promote a more even, resilient complexion when introduced gradually into a skincare routine.

How does this serum work to smooth fine lines and wrinkles?

The serum relies on encapsulated retinol, which releases slowly to gently support skin cell turnover over time. That controlled delivery helps minimize irritation while allowing the active ingredient to refine texture and reduce the look of fine lines.

• Encapsulated retinol for gradual, steady delivery
• Supports surface renewal to improve texture
• Non-comedogenic formula reduces pore clogging risk

Will it keep my skin hydrated while I use retinol?

Yes — MVE Technology provides continuous release of moisturizing ingredients for up to 24 hours, while hyaluronic acid attracts and retains surface moisture. The combination helps offset dryness commonly linked to retinol use.

• MVE Technology for sustained moisture release
• Hyaluronic acid boosts surface hydration
• Ceramides support the skin’s natural barrier to lock in moisture

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The fragrance-free, non-comedogenic formula was developed with dermatologists and contains niacinamide to help calm skin. Because it contains retinol, introduce the product gradually—start with every other night or a few times weekly—to assess tolerance.

• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk
• Niacinamide helps soothe and strengthen resilience
• Start slow to build tolerance for sensitive or reactive skin

How should I add this to my evening routine for best results?

Use in the evening after cleansing and before moisturizing; allow the serum to absorb, then follow with a ceramide-rich moisturizer. Apply sunscreen during daytime, as retinol can increase sun sensitivity.

• Apply nightly or as tolerated, beginning gradually
• Layer under moisturizer to support the barrier
• Use daily SPF in the morning while using retinol products

Who is this for: CeraVe Anti Aging Retinol Serum is designed for people looking to address early signs of aging—such as fine lines, rough texture or uneven tone—while maintaining hydration and barrier support. It suits those who prefer dermatologist-developed, fragrance-free formulations and who are willing to introduce retinol progressively. Not intended for children or for use on compromised skin without professional guidance; patch test if you are highly reactive or using other active treatments.
