    Works

    I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, morning and night, and I can see a difference. Fewer breakouts have appeared and my skin feels better. #lykoreview

    Smuuti face toner and retinol

    Can this be used together with Smuuti's face toner? And is there any age limit for using this, like can a 22-year-old start using it?

      Hey Viivi! 🤩 The anti-aging effects of retinol may not be visible on such young skin, as collagen production has not yet slowed down at your age. However, retinol can help to smooth out acne scars and pigmentation changes in the skin. It might be worth considering gentler alternatives if you specifically want to focus on acne scars and pigmentation changes! For example, this beauty is suitable for young skin: lyko.com/en/skin-care/face/serums/anua-niacinamide-10----txa-4--serum-30-ml ❤️ As for combining retinol with Smuutin's barrier toner, I wouldn't recommend it if you have sensitive skin. With retinol, I especially recommend hydrating and soothing products. For example, Smuutin's peach toner might be a better option! lyko.com/en/smuuti-skin/smuuti-skin-peach-barrier-toner-130-ml 🧡😊 However, if you still want to try retinol and the barrier toner together, start with a small area of skin and monitor the skin's reactions. Stop using it if irritation occurs 🩷

    Good

    I haven't tested this for long, and it's my first retinol product, so I don't know yet if it's good or bad. I feel that since I started introducing it into my routine, I've gotten a slightly more even skin tone and a bit smoother skin from bumps. Since the amount you should use is pea-sized, I think the product is affordable.

      Hey A😊 Thanks for your question✨ I do not recommend using CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum and Paula's Choice BHA toner at the same time in the same routine. Both contain active ingredients that can be taxing on the skin together and increase the risk of irritation and a compromised skin barrier. For the best results – and to be gentle on the skin – feel free to use them on different evenings. If you are new to retinol, try it on a small area first to see how your skin reacts to this and only 1-2 evenings a week to ease in. Always use sunscreen during the day. Wishing you good luck and a super nice afternoon🌞

    Usage

    Can this be used in combination with blemish control cleanser? How should they be used together in that case?

      Hi Maja😊 Thank you for your question✨ Yes, you can use CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum together with Blemish Control Cleanser, but to avoid irritation, we recommend alternating the evenings. So use the retinol serum 1–2 times a week in the evening (note, recommended from 20 years and up) and cleanse with Blemish Cleanser on the other evenings. Blemish cleanser is an exfoliating cleanser that can be too much to use daily. Always finish with a moisturizer and don’t forget sunscreen during the day! Start cautiously with retinol and gradually increase depending on how your skin reacts, and feel free to patch test on a small area first. Hope this helps and that you have a lovely day🌞

    Anti-age?

    Can this serum be used as an anti-age serum only? I don't have acne problems. I like Cerave otherwise.

      Hey Linda! Glad you like CeraVe 🤍 Yes, you can 🙏 A mild formula with retinol - but still good to ease into. There are also other brands with even clearer anti-aging focus if you want to mix it up going forward. Wishing you a continued nice day!

    Effects already after a few weeks

    I have been using this product for 2 years and I am honestly satisfied, to the point that I always buy it for my mom and sister for Christmas. The product is effective and you can definitely see a difference after a few weeks. It has worked 100% for me and I will always come back to it!

    Pretty okay

    No major noticeable effect, but also not irritating or anything for my sensitive skin. Good as a “first-time retinol” at a good price! However, I prefer A-game in about the same price range.

    More Serums?

    Hey! Can this be used as my only serum after application? Or do I need to have a complementary serum in addition to this? Right now I’m using toner from Klaris, then Vichy’s serum, then 345 skin cream. Cleansing with CeraVe hydrating cleanser. I would love to add a retinol product to my routine for a more even and pore-free surface... Does this work together then?

      Hi Engla😊 This can be used as a standalone serum in the evening after acclimation, but I always recommend alternating with moisture, so the best thing is to choose 2-3 evenings and then use a moisturizing serum on the other evenings so that the skin has a chance to recover in between. Experiment and see how your skin feels. Feel free to wait with retinol until autumn, as the skin can become sun-sensitive from this ingredient, also be careful with sun protection during the day regardless. Wishing you good luck with your skincare and a really nice day🌞

      Hi Nadja 😊👋 Both the cleanser and the blemish gel contain BHA. The cleanser can be used a few times a week to exfoliate the skin, but using it daily might be too much. Exfoliating with this type of cleanser one to two evenings before applying retinol can help boost the effects of the retinol, but this also depends entirely on your skin type, age, and sensitivity. Retinol also isn’t usually recommended during summer, as it can increase the skin’s sensitivity. The gel shouldn’t be combined with retinol either, as that might be too harsh. Instead, it can be used as a spot treatment when needed, on separate days or at different times. I’d really recommend trying our free skin test, it makes it much easier to recommend the right products in the right order based on your skin type 😊 Everyone helping you is a trained and licensed skin therapist or pharmacist 😍👌 You can find the test here: lyko.com/sv/beauty-scan2 All the best! 💛

      Hey Severine 💞 👉 First Resurfacing Retinol Serum 👉 Then Blemish Control Gel (once the retinol has had a chance to absorb a bit) 👉 Finish with moisturizer Feel free to start using them every other night or just one at a time at first, so your skin doesn’t get irritated. And most importantly – don’t forget sunscreen during the day! 🌞💫 Wishing you a great day ahead🌸
