I am so disappointed. I wanted to try a new vitamin C serum and I thought I couldn't go wrong by purchasing one from Cerave as I love all of their products. The packaging is great, because it protects the serum from oxidation. I started slow, as I do with any new product, so I decided to use the serum every other day for the the first 2 weeks. The first issue I had was that the product caused pilling of my moisturizer and makeup. I tried 2 different moisturizers to see if I could find a good combination, but to no avail. This in itself makes the product unusable. Currently, my face has broken out all over. I rarely even get a pimple and I haven't changed my face regiment other than adding this product. What a waste. Be careful if you start this product and you have a big event coming up!

I wish I could get a refund for this pricey serum, but Walgreens's return policy doesn't extend past a month. The worst Cerave product, and I love their other products. I kept it tightly sealed and stored in the dark, and the product went yellow/orange after a few weeks. Even a tiny bit oxidizes horribly on the skin, leaving horrible orange streaks after an hour or so. Do not use. Don't waste your money.

I love this serum. I used a much more expensive vitamin c serum and was hoping this would provide similar results while being gentle and more affordable. It is! Immediately gives you a glow and helps keep your skin vibrant and hydrated over time. I use it while my skin is still damp and then put lotion over it. Recommended.

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.

My husband, who hardly ever notices anything, told me out of the blue one day my skin looked “glowy” after using this Vitamin C serum (in conjunction with the CeraVe daily moisturizer) for a few weeks. If that doesn't deserve a 5 star rating, I don't know what does!

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. I started getting a lot of break outs around my cheek area and they would leave dark spots and I was so insecure and then I started using this with my skin care routine and it evened my skin tone! I recommend this to everyone every time they ask for my routine! Plus a little goes a LONG way. I have eczema and I get flare ups on my neck and it has never flared it up when I apply it there!

For those who are saying that it turns orange, I would offer that you use it at night instead of during the day. I've been using this at night (along with the nighttime moisturizer) and the retinol serum during the day, which is much more lightweight. I switched over to exclusively using CeraVe products (except for the cleanser), and I've had several people make comments about my skin when I've posted pictures on FB or IG, which hasn't really happened before. The texture has been improved as well. I'm using the retinol during the day with the lightweight spf 30 moisturizer. Really happy with it so far!

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.

This vitamin C serum is lightweight, gentle, and easy to layer into my routine. It absorbs quickly, doesn't feel sticky, and hasn't caused irritation or breakouts. With regular use, my skin looks brighter and more even while still feeling hydrated. Great option if you want vitamin C without harshness.

I've been using CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum in the mornings, and it fits into my routine more easily than I expected. The texture is lighter than I imagined for a vitamin C product and doesn't feel oily or heavy on my skin. It sinks in pretty fast and leaves my face feeling smooth rather than sticky. What I noticed first was how comfortable it feels. My skin usually reacts to vitamin C, but this one didn't sting or cause redness. After a couple of weeks, my skin started to look a bit brighter overall, especially on days when it usually looks dull or tired. It's not dramatic, but it's a steady, healthy-looking glow. I also like that my skin still feels hydrated after applying it. Some vitamin C serums leave my face feeling tight, but this one doesn't. It layers well with moisturizer and sunscreen, and I haven't had issues with pilling or irritation when I use it consistently. Overall, it feels like a dependable, low-effort vitamin C serum. It's not flashy or intense, but it quietly does its job, and that's why I keep reaching for it.
