I want to start this review by giving you all a little history: I have had acne prone, oily, red, uneven skin ever since I was in middle school. I'm an attempt to feel more confident in myself, I have not left the house without a full face of makeup since I was 14 (I'm 22 now) but with this product, I went foundation free for the first time. I started using this product about two months ago, every night after I wash my face. It is lightweight and does not feel oily or sticky on the skin. My only complaint would be that the product itself is a little runny when I personally prefer more cream based products, but as a serum it is the expected consistency. And OMG has my skin changed. My skin is brighter, more even, and looks and feels so much healthier. If I could give one million starts I would. I am finally starting to feel confident in my own skin thanks to this product.

I have used the many Cerave products for over 15 years and my skin is quite decent for my age. This product is a great addition to the line. Ignore the "alcohol" whining reviews - you don't see it, feel it, or smell it in this serum. It takes very little - so a tube lasts quite a while. I use it morning and night - under my other Cerave products or foundation. I have seen a real and visible difference in my skin for the good - I'm hooked. Worth the money!

I can't get over how amazing this product is. My drab, tired dull skin is now vibrant, soft and looks 10 years younger. Please don't change I thing! I've been singing praises of this product and smile at the mirror every day because this turned it all around. I love all the products I have tried, but this is by far my fave. That beautiful skin I missed is back. Love love love.

I'm now in my 40s and my neck was starting to get that crepey skin. I was going to buy the really expensive serums, but checked out CeraVe's lineup first and found a product at 1/5 the price! I've never had a bad experience with CeraVe, so I gave it a try. I'm very happy with it. Too many reviewers are just reading the ingredient list and giving this a bad review without even trying it. Denatured is mostly ethanol. I bet the other reviewers have at least an occasional drink. Even fruit on the counter has some ethanol in it. It does not feel like an alcohol-based toner, it feels like a very light gel moisturizer. If you wear make-up, this is an excellent primer too. I use the vitamin A PM serum in the evening and this in the morning. I follow with make-up and/or sunscreen. I had a bit of sunburn on my upper chest from forgetting sunscreen one day and put this on and it seems healing too. I never write reviews, but I don't want people who have never used this product ruin it for me.

The reviews going on and on about the denatured alcohol are from people who know noting about product formulation and Vitamin C stability. It is NOT the same as rubbing denatured alcohol all over you face! As a Doctor, I understand the value of stable Vitamin C skincare and love this new product from Cerave! The product is outstanding straight out of the tube but I do wonder how long the potency of the Vitamin C will last. I wonder if they have done clinical studies of this.

Me molesta que las instrucciones de uso sean incompletas y que no vengan especificadas como en otros productos de vitamina c que he comprado de otras marcas… este no menciona si se puede usar en la mañana y noche… y tampoco los cuidados que se deben tener al aplicarla ni la forma de aplicarse …

It's a solid vitamin C serum but only in the beginning. Less than half way through the tube and it's oxidized! Cerave please reconsider the packaging. Your retinol serum pump tube is amazing. Please use it for vitamin C. Until it is changed, I won't buy again, sadly.

I like Vitamin C and have usually seen improvements to skin tone and evenness after using it. This one from CeraVe is no exception with the added bonus of being a company I trust. Price seems comparable to me to other Vitamin C serums that I've bought and which have been effective. The con for me of this product, and the reason I will *avoid* buying it unless this changes, is the packaging. The metal tube is brittle; it's not friendly to travelling; it is difficult to get every last bit of the serum out; and both times I've bought it, I've had to handle it VERY gently, otherwise the tube cracks, which wastes the product, and allows the product to oxidize. This stuff is comparable to other Vit C price-wise, like I said earlier, but it is not cheap enough for me to be okay with product spoilage. Now, I'd deal with this drawback if the packaging allowed for improved recyclability, but it doesn't even do that! A metal tube with a long plastic nozzle is not even recyclable around me, making this less recyclable than other options, which matters as someone who tries to be semi-conscious AND conscientious as a consumer :/ Keep it up with the formulas, CeraVe, but with this one, unless packaging changes, for me, it's not worth the investment and energy.

Denatured alcohol is the 6th ingredient which means this product contains a substantial amount. Denatured alcohol is very drying and can exacerbate sentive skin conditions which makes me question the purpose of this ingredient included in this serum especially at such a high level. Very disappointed :(

This is the best Vitamin C Serum I've used, and I've tried a few of them. I love the texture and how it absorbs into my skin easily. My skin also looks brighter and clearer. The only con is the packaging. The lid gets a little messy. I wish it was more of a pump bottle.
