Yahoo Lifestyle This $15 retinol serum is the industry’s best-kept secret for clearing acne scars: ‘It’s like a magic eraser’
There are few things more satisfying than successfully clearing up a bad breakout. Whether you reach for pimple patches, your favorite spot treatment or a tried-and-true face mask, waking up to clear skin feels unbelievably good. That is, until you see that while the pimple in question is gone, a new acne scar has taken its place.
If you feel like you’re fighting a losing battle with hyperpigmentation and acne scars, you might want to add a retinol serum to your skin care routine. But if the buzzy skin care ingredient makes you immediately think of a hefty price tag, you’d be wrong. One of the top-rated retinol serums out there — developed with dermatologists — is just $15 now on Amazon.
This top-rated serum has more than 39,000 ratings on Amazon.
According to its product description, CeraVe’s Resurfacing Retinol Serum “helps refine skin’s texture over time and helps visibly reduce the appearance of post-acne marks.” This pore-minimizing serum is safe for all skin types and also works to repair your delicate skin barrier.
This serum is formulated with encapsulated retinol to resurface the skin and licorice root to help brighten. Plus, it’s packed with ceramides and niacinamide to soothe your skin and keep it looking its best. Additionally, it’s fragrance-free and non-comedogenic (which means it won’t clog your pores).
For best results, CeraVe suggests applying a pea-sized amount on your skin at night and waiting for the serum to fully absorb before applying your other products. If you are using this product during the day, be sure to follow it with a strong SPF!
And this serum is definitely worth the hype. CeraVe’s Resurfacing Retinol Serum has earned more than 30,000 five-star reviews and is a best seller.
One happy shopper dubbed the serum “magic” and shared, “I can literally see my hyperpigmentation fading away when I apply this, it’s like a magic eraser for hyperpigmentation.” Another reviewer said, “I have tried quite a few retinol creams and most are so strong and my skin ends up looking worse. This goes on smoothly and I have never had any irritation from it and use it daily.”
While some shoppers say that it works slowly, so you have to remain consistent with the product, you can rest assured it’s a gentle formula! Snag this skin care essential while it’s on sale.
