Based on these TikTok reviews, users appreciate that CeraVe's Retinol Serum is gentler than prescription tretinoin while still being effective at fading dark spots and evening skin tone from acne marks. However, the product doesn't work for everyone, with at least one reviewer experiencing negative results and having to discontinue use. Most reviewers seem to recommend it for people dealing with post-acne marks who want a drugstore retinol option that's less irritating than stronger alternatives.
