Overview

Cetaphil's serum is a 0.5 fluid ounce gel formula combining peptides and retinol, marketed as non comedogenic, unscented and paraben free.

Pairing retinol with peptides in a gel base sets this apart from a heavier cream-based retinol product, and the non comedogenic claim signals it is meant to be pore-friendly. Beyond those points the listing does not specify retinol concentration or skin type suitability.
