I really like this brand but this product particularly I am not enjoying because the little glitter, I don’t want my face shiny in that way. The moisturizing is good, but I think the hydrating gel from this same brand suited me better.

Works really well and tighten the skin. I’ve used it for a year now and have totally seen a difference. It’s good for sensitive skin and lightly moisturized my face. I’ve used it alone for night time and paired it with my brighten serum and moisturizer. I do recommend to use once a day or day and night for better resul

Since I just started the second bottle, not enough time has passed to express an opinion on the results pertaining to its impact on wrinkles. I use two squirts 2X a day, and the first bottle lasted approximately one month. I have highly sensitive skin and experienced no burning of my facial skin or burning and/or watering of my eyes–a win-win in my book. I have noticed that the skin on my face looks brighter and has a smoother texture. I am 78, and this or any other product will have some heavy lifting to work on the wrinkles (craters) on my face. If this had been available about 40 years ago before I was too far gone, it may have had a shot. Who am I kidding? At that time I was a single parent raising two children with deadbeat dads, so I wouldn’t have been able to afford it anyway. IMO, this is a worthwhile reasonably priced product that I will continue to use.

I bought it on sale after Christmas, possibly Black Friday sale (so yay on price drop). It seems to be working well. I notice my skin is softer. I’m not sure i see any changes on dark spots yet, but I do have pretty bad/long time stubborn sun and acne marks. There doesn’t seem to be much heavy scent, which i like. It dries fairly quick, i give it a minute+. And I pair it with the Cetaphil Deep Hydration Fragrance Free 48 Hour Activation Serum, that has hyaluronic acid. Cetaphil could be my sponsor (haha), i have quite a few of their products at home including one of their moisturizing body lotions. And I have no complaints so far.

So far used half a bottle. liking it and seeing results enough so i just got a second bottle for after this one! you dont always see much from serums, this one actually has impressed me. im 32. i see a difference in radiance, and a nice smooth hydrated kind of look. it has no smell, i use two pumps to cover my face and neck. tbh it doesnt go that far but its a product that is doing something so its worth it. i put it on twice a day and it lays great under my sunscreen and foundation in the am and pm goes fine with my moisturizer. no pilling. has just made my face look refreshed and ill keep using it.

I love this. It is a small bottle and because it is so nice and makes my skin feel so good, you want to use it all the time, so it goes fast. It dries quickly, is not oily, and feels amazing.

I’ve been using the entire Cetaphil Healthy Renew line for about a year now, and while I’m pleased with all the products, this face serum is hands down my favorite. I use it both morning and night, and it’s become the cornerstone of my skincare routine.
Why this serum stands out:
After a year of consistent use, I’ve seen significant improvement in my skin. The combination of niacinamide and peptides has made a real difference in my skin’s overall appearance and texture. As someone who can’t use retinol, finding an effective alternative that actually delivers results has been game-changing for my skincare routine.
The serum absorbs beautifully into my skin without feeling heavy, sticky, or greasy. It layers well under moisturizer in the morning and works perfectly as part of my nighttime routine. The lightweight texture means I can use it twice daily without any issues.
Perfect for sensitive skin:
I have sensitive skin, and this serum has never caused any irritation, redness, or reactions. It’s fragrance-free, which I appreciate since added fragrances often trigger sensitivity for me. The formula is gentle enough for daily use – even twice daily – while still being effective.
How it fits into the Healthy Renew system:
While I’m happy with all the products in this line, the serum is what I notice the most difference from. It works beautifully with the other Healthy Renew products, and I think using them together has contributed to the overall improvement I’ve seen in my skin over the past year.
Worth noting:
Like any quality skincare product, this requires consistency and patience. The improvements I’ve seen didn’t happen overnight – it took several months of regular use to really notice the difference. But the results have been worth the commitment.
The 1 oz bottle may seem small, but because you only need a few drops per application, it lasts longer than you’d expect.
Bottom line:
If you’re looking for a retinol alternative that is cost effective and that’s gentle on sensitive skin but still delivers visible anti-aging results, this serum is worth trying. After a year of using it twice daily, I can confidently say it’s made a significant difference in my skin. It’s become my must-have product from the entire Healthy Renew line.

I’ve tried several anti-aging face gels in the past, and I have to say, the Cetaphil Healthy Renew Anti-Aging Face Gel has become my new favorite! As a working mom, my skincare routine needs to be quick, effective, and gentle—and this product checks all the boxes.
I’ve used the Meaningful Beauty Melon Gel in the past, and while I liked it, Cetaphil’s version is just as moisturizing, but without the higher price tag. The formula feels lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated without any greasy residue. My face looks brighter, and I’ve noticed a subtle improvement in the firmness of my skin after using it consistently for a few weeks.
The scent is light and refreshing—not overpowering like some other gels I’ve tried. Plus, it’s gentle on my sensitive skin, which is a huge plus! I also love that Cetaphil is known for being dermatologist-recommended and for creating products that are safe for all skin types.
Pros:
• Lightweight and absorbs quickly.
• Hydrates and firms skin without being greasy.
• Gentle on sensitive skin.
• Great value for the price.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, gentle anti-aging gel that delivers results, the Cetaphil Healthy Renew Anti-Aging Face Gel is a fantastic choice. It compares favorably to the Meaningful Beauty Melon Gel but at a fraction of the cost, and it’s perfect for busy moms who want to keep their skincare routine simple and effective! Highly recommend!

This is generally speaking a good product, but I think it is unethical to advertize a product as containing peptides when there are no isolated peptides included in the formula. They seem to be referring to the several plant extracts in the formula that may contain peptides. This is certainly NOT a retinol alternative and the benefits you may see from whatever peptides are in this product are minimal at best. I think this product is decently hydrating and moisturizing, but simply because of the added humectants like panthenol, not peptides. I enjoy Cetaphil as a brand and I think this product is good, but the marketing is very questionable. You can find better barrier repairing serums that contain peptides for less money from brands like Purito, Pyunkang Yul, and Skin1004.

❤4.5 Stars previously but updating to 5 stars because after finishing this serum I did repurchase during the spring sale because I love the results so far and my skin looks significantly better: smoother, healthier, plump, radiant, and glowy. My 5yo daughter said “Mommy, why is your skin so shiny” lol… I have not used retinol in 2 weeks because I ran out and have been researching for a new one. I continued to use this product consistently however and can confidently credit this product for some of my skin’s improvement. Was happy to be able to repurchase during a sale and am now subsribed to recieve it regularly. I previously complained about the price because my actives are the same price and I couldn’t really justify the price for a product that isn’t really a staple like Vit C or Retinol BUT again, I do appreciate the delivery, the design, the ingredients, and the results.
This is gentle enough to use on ‘repair day/ night’ of my skin cycling routine. I find it soothing and hydrating, and it layers well with other products. I love that it pairs well with my sunscreen too so I can definitely wear it during the day; unlike some products that begin to beed up when you put your sunscreen over it. I love the design and delivery but I wonder if those add a lot to the price. Maybe I shouldn’t complain as I would not want to see either aspect changed. I already use other somewhat pricey actives that are a must (Vitamin C & Retinol) so it would be great if this product were a little more affordable since it’s not a skincare staple (yet?). I would like to repurchase, but I’d also like to see the price come down. I would like to continue to have this as part of my skin cycling routine though so I hope it’s not one of those products that gets discontinued. I do think it will last me a while since I am currently using it at a rate of 2 days and 2 night per week. I am using other powerful actives and currently have no wrinkles or fine lines so it’s hard to say yet if I have had a reduction in those things due to this product, but I do credit it as a great preventative. (Actually I do have a line trying to form on my forehead near my hairline, and I have noticed a difference since using this for 4 weeks now) Overall, I would probably repurchase while staying on the lookout for deals on it. A good deal every once in a while and I would definitely repurchase.

I have really sensitive skin and I used this one time and broke out in a rash. I’m sure this is a great product despite my sensitivity.
I used to use Meaningful Beauty Serum and it was great. Then they got greedy and raised the price $50 more dollars and cut my shipments off when I refused to give them a credit card number that would be auto charged each shipment. This is after 15 years of using it. They don’t treat long time customers well at all.

Easy to apply; absorbs easily; was not impressed with effectiveness [for me, didn’t produce the results identified in the description].

Outstanding for menopausal woman women that have skin issues. I gotta tell you it’s one of those things that is cost-effective and it works. You need just a tiny bit on your middle finger and it works like a charm.

Seems to hydrate skin well. Have not used long enough to see any big changes but it does soften the skin and keeps it hydrated through the day.
