CeraVe Anti Aging Retinol Serum is a facial serum formulated with encapsulated retinol, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and three essential ceramides. The encapsulated retinol is designed to release gradually, aiming to reduce the potential for irritation while supporting a smoother appearance of wrinkles and fine lines over time. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain the skin’s surface moisture, while niacinamide works to support an even skin tone and a gentle brightening effect. The inclusion of ceramides contributes to the skin’s natural barrier function, which can be beneficial for maintaining hydration and resilience.

This serum is fragrance-free, making it suitable for those who prefer products without added scents. It is intended for daily use on the face, typically as part of a nighttime skincare routine, and can be layered with other CeraVe moisturizers. The product is lightweight and absorbs without leaving a greasy residue. It is designed for individuals concerned with early signs of aging, such as fine lines and uneven texture, and may be appropriate for normal, combination, and dry skin types, though those with sensitive skin are advised to patch test due to the presence of retinol. Each bottle contains 1 fluid ounce (30 mL). The formula is developed with dermatologists and is non-comedogenic, meaning it is not intended to clog pores. The serum supports gradual improvements in skin texture and radiance without relying on aggressive active levels, offering a balanced approach for those new to retinol or seeking a milder option.
