Blemishes banished without a broken barrier? Yes please!
The product
Are you ready to have a dermatologist take over your skin care routine? Aren’t we all! This blemish-busting wonder serum is specially designed to ensure your skin’s barrier isn’t disturbed while still fighting away all the unwanted congestion. It’s like CeraVe is reading our minds!
It’s formulated with barrier-protecting ceramides (three to be exact), licorice root extract (to calm, soothe and even heal acne scars) not to mention the HOT (we’re skincare buffs here) active niacinamide that pairs perfectly with (an oh-so-gentle form of) retinol for the ultimate acne-busting serum.
The consistency of the CeraVe Blemish Control Resurfacing Retinol Serum is a light gel-like meets traditional serum. It’s easy to apply, and quickly absorbs into the skin.
Here’s what our panel of Review Crew® testers had to say about the pore-refining, texture-smoothing serum.
The panel
BEAUTY/crew sent the CeraVe Blemish Control Resurfacing Retinol Serum to a panel of men and women aged 16-35 with various skin concerns and types ranging from blemish-prone to moderate acne and even normal-to-oily skin.
The panel
Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the CeraVe Blemish Control Resurfacing Retinol Serum.
It became their blemish-banishing bestie: When your serum promises to control your blemishes, you’re really out here hoping it will deliver. That’s why we handed it over to our Review Crew® to put it through its paces. And sure enough, they raved about its blemish-banishing ways. Not only did our members see a reduction in blemishes, but they also saw less frequency of new ones appearing! Tell us that isn’t magic!
The pore-refining finish: Our panel's main concerns were blemishes, however what goes hand-in-hand with blemishes? Pores. Yup, we all have them; can’t escape them at this point! Or can we? Our reviewers were shocked to find their pores minimising by the moment with use of this formula. That takes us on to point number three…
The texture-resurfacing capabilities: Sloughing away unwanted, uneven skin cells is all in a day's work for the CeraVe Blemish Control Resurfacing Retinol Serum. Once it refined our members' pores, they were able to see the texture of their skin looking more even and feeling much smoother! The members were able to feel all the added moisturising, skin-brightening goodness (without being left with oily skin). A win in our books!
