Danielle
This product was a total splurge for me but I’m so happy with it. My skin is bright and glowing. It is VERY light in texture and leaves my face feeling SO soft. KEY REASONS I purchased: Fights premature aging! Increases cell turnover! Strengthens the moisture barrier! Contains 5% niacinamide, 15% pure glycerin, firming tripeptide concentrate.

I love the product so much, I’ve been buying it since I discovered it. The only issue is their bottle, the tip part always starts to peeling off and I have had a couple bottles.
Eric W.
Worked for my husband but not for me. I was hoping this could be an everyday lotion but I had an allergic reaction days after using this. It works well for my husband.
Karen H.
I’ve noticed a significant increase in hydration retention.

I’ve been using Metacell Renewal B3 for a while now and honestly, it’s one of the best skincare products I’ve ever tried. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any greasy feeling at all. What really impressed me is how much smoother and more even my skin looks. It noticeably improves hydration, reduces dullness, and gives a healthy, refreshed glow. Over time, I’ve seen a clear improvement in skin texture and overall appearance. It works perfectly under sunscreen and othe...

This is a very smooth, creamy but also lightweight lotion to use anytime when you need moisturizing. I use another product as a night cream but after having some light laser done, I used this product day and night on my face with excellent results - no irritation (I have very sensitive skin) and kept my face completely moisturized. I dab on a layer beneath my tinted moisturizer and over my CE Fereulic on extra cold/dry days with really good results.
Sophie
Great Renewing Moisturizer! I really love this moisturizer, it's light and I feel as if it's regenerating my skin, I do notice a difference in the look of my skin. I use it under a face oil or another moisturizer at night because this is more of an active moisturizer (renews the cells). The only downfall is the packaging; the silver seal around the pump is coming off and there are little silver pieces every time I open the container. I ended up throwing it away because I don’t want that on my fa...
Grace
I have extremely sensitive skin and don't do well with active ingredients. I wanted something gentle to work with aging, but unfortunately, this made me break out terribly. My skin was bumpy and irritated for weeks. Do not recommend if you're sensitive.
Emma
This product feels extremely silicone-y, and you can definitely feel a film settle over your skin after using it. However, paired with retinol, it’s chef’s kiss. Using this before or after a retinol greatly reduced my irritation and dryness. It’s also super hydrating and lightweight but packs a punch. I believe it helped repair my skin barrier.
Katelyn
I have been using this line for years, but I had high hopes for this product. It leaves my skin feeling slightly tacky and I’m also breaking out. Nothing in my routine has changed but this. It does feel and smell wonderful when applying, but if I reduce the amount it’s not enough, and anything more is too much. My skin does feel smoother, but I’m not sure if I’ll purchase this again.
Donna
This serum is amazing! I call it my everyday magic! It melts into your skin and does not irritate or cause redness. After a few months of using it twice a day, I see a reduction in fine lines, and my skin texture is noticeably better. This is probably my favorite product, and I will never be without it!
Lindsey
I love love love this serum. It literally gives you glass skin after about 1 month. I can tell when I dont use it for a couple of days. This is a very light serum that dries on smooth. I use it in the morning after my vitamin C. Doesnt pill under makeup and lasts long. Will be reordering.
Hannah
It’s still too early to tell what the overall benefits of using this product are going to be, but it feels delicious and I love using it for the “sandwich” method when I’m applying my retinol at night. I apply it after my serums in the morning and evening and before my moisturizer. I like this formula a lot better than others I’ve tried. I’m hoping it will help with my hyperpigmentation from hormonal acne scarring.
Stella
I absolutely love this product! My skin began to feel smoother with less wrinkles and felt more youthful after maybe 1-2 weeks. I use it twice daily after cleansing, toning, and using a hydrating gel. It’s pricey but worth it!
Melissa
I've been using a vitamin C serum and a multi-acid serum on alternating days, and I realized I was missing out on the benefits of niacinamide, so I got this. I find that this product works as both a treatment and a moisturizer. I use it on days when I want a break from my other serums. It pairs well with retinol at night.
Catherine
Does a beautiful job hydrating, firming, and balancing skin. I have sensitive skin, and this is very gentle—no redness or breakouts. My only complaint is the packaging. It's impossible to know how much is remaining in the bottle, and I always disassemble the bottle when "empty" and find more usable product. Please change the packaging!
Kathryn
I got this after reviewing which moisturizer in the line would be most beneficial for my late 30s skin. I primarily have hyperpigmentation and very few fine lines. I love this product! It applies wonderfully, and by the end of the day, my skin still looks healthy and glowy as it works to even tone. I use a hydrating serum under this and/or my active treatments. Appreciate the science behind this brand.
Tara
I love all these products, and I get excellent results! This is great as a daytime moisturizer! It gives me the perfect amount of moisture for the day and blends well with my serums, sunscreen, and makeup. Great product!
Anna
I've used this as part of my morning routine for years. I use it as my moisturizer before I put on my makeup. I have tried some other serums with niacinamide but always come back to this one because it doesnt irritate my skin. I use it after my serum has absorbed into my face. The only thing bothersome is the bottle's design—it has measurement lines that are useless since you can't see inside. I started noting how long each bottle lasts to track it myself.
Sara
I have fair, slightly dry, sensitive skin with concerns about color correction and occasional hormonal acne. I used a small sample for four days, and it completely cleared up the zits on my chin and evened out all my redness. Since using it for over two months now, my skin has never looked so even and moisturized. I still suffer from occasional hormonal breakouts, but they clear up in a third of the time they usually would. The texture also works great as a primer under makeup.
Natasha
It’s a great product! I have oily skin, and it's hard for me to find a cream that works and doesn’t clog my pores. This cream is perfect. I used it in summer as a peel aftercare on top of serums, and now that it’s starting to cool down, I use it daily. It makes my skin so smooth and glowy, like a photoshop effect.
Lily
I haven’t used this long enough to see an effect on sun damage, but the high glycerin content in combination with niacinamide is hydrating, plumping, and smoothing. I don’t think it’s hydrating enough to use as a moisturizer on dry winter skin—I use a moisturizer on top. The price is steep, and the product can sting a little when applied to the skin, but overall, it's high quality, and I would recommend it.
Ava
I received this as a gift. I was previously using another niacinamide product and didn't notice much difference. This, however, evened out my skin tone in ways the previous one never did. I deal with a lot of red discoloration, and after a couple of weeks, I noticed it diminish. My complexion looks even and clear. I feel great, even without makeup.
Melissa
Love love love this lightweight moisturizer! My skin is super sensitive, and I have rosacea. This doesnt break me out or clog my pores. The product absorbs into my skin immediately. I have noticed my skin looks clearer and more evenly toned. My only complaint is the price, but I havent found anything close to comparison, so I put up with it for happy skin.
Ava
Loved the product—my skin felt moisturized, soft, and radiant. However, it’s expensive, and Im not sure I couldn’t get similar results from cheaper products. Also, the packaging wastes a fair amount when it seems empty. After the pump failed to dispense, I disassembled it and recovered three weeks' worth of product from inside. Do better with the packaging.
Roz
This product was backordered by the manufacturer, and I decided to be patient and wait for it to come in. I have been using it morning and night for nearly a month now. I had a special issue with my skin for over 5 1/2 months, and none of the 9 doctors I saw had any idea what to do. This lotion was recommended by a dermatologist I trust, so I am willing to give it some time. It takes very little to cover your face, so although the price is high, it spreads easily. I cannot say I see an amazing d...
Melissa
This is such a beautiful product. So smooth and feels wonderful. I can see results after a month of use…lines decreased and skin much softer. It’s one of those products that’s so enjoyable to use every day. Will definitely buy again.
Susan
First-time buyer! This product is amazing. I have been using it for about a month now, and my skin is plumper, and some of my discoloration is lightening. Although the consistency is a little sticky and it’s pricey, I will definitely buy again.
Clara
I am quite surprised by the efficacy of this product. I have a tendency toward skin tags, especially on my neck. I have had them professionally removed by a dermatologist, and thought I'd need to go back due to several new ones. I used this lotion for about a week, and the tiny skin tags either became refined or disappeared entirely. My entire face and neck feel smoother after using it. I would buy this product again.
Zoe
This was the first product I added to my skincare routine, and it changed how I thought about products. With this, I use just 1–2 pumps in the morning. It looks like a tiny amount but spreads beautifully and hydrates. It feels good, and my skin looks renewed. My skin is sensitive, so I use it in the evening before my retinol. This combination has reduced redness and helped me use retinol more frequently.
Sophia
I use all these products, so it's hard to tell which one is doing what, but my skin looks great! I am 55 and get compliments on my skin. This lotion works. I use it once a day along with other treatments, and it really makes my skin glow. Love it!
Steph
Finally back in stock and got to order this! Been waiting awhile. Glad I did as it lives up to the hype! Makes my skin happy! A little goes a long way, I made sure to rub it in all the way and use it with the HA intensifier under it. It's only been a few days, but I like the way it feels and the initial appearance of my skin since adding this. I follow up with a moisturizer. Can't wait to see what happens after a few weeks of use.
Wendy
Received a sample of this product when struggling with dehydration. Used it every other day for two weeks and noticed it made a difference to my skin. My skin felt more hydrated, brighter, and clearer. Then I purchased the full size and now use it four times a week. Definitely noticed an improvement in my skin clarity, tone, and hydration. The texture is great—it feels like a light balm that spreads easily.
Emily
I can't say enough wonderful things about this product! It is my obsession! My skin is brighter, smoother, and tighter-looking. A little bit goes a long way, and it melts into the skin when applied. I am so happy I bought this. I use it at night after washing my face, followed by moisturizer.
Diana
I am a longtime customer. I have been using this product for a few weeks now and have already seen a difference in my skin's appearance. My skin looks healthier and with a more even tone. There has also been an increase in firmness, especially around my eye area. I will continue to use this product to maintain the benefits.
Lauren
I have been using this product for two years, applying it morning and evening. Within the first two weeks, I noticed significant improvement in my skin. My skin feels smooth and hydrated without being greasy. The redness and discoloration I usually experience went away completely, and I haven’t had any acne since using this product. I plan on being a lifetime user.
Sarah
I have rosacea and very sensitive skin, and it’s hard to find products that don’t add to the redness. This absorbs quickly and isn’t greasy or oily, so it doesn’t impact my makeup. I believe it also improves the look and texture of my skin. It’s a great daily lightweight moisturizer.
Olivia
I got a sample of this product and loved it. I’ve since ordered a full size. It has a velvety texture that melts into your skin and leaves it matte. It’s moisturizing but not overly so. A little goes a long way. I haven’t used it long enough to see major changes yet, but my skin is improving and looking brighter and clearer.
Lori
I have been using this product for many years. I love the way it plumps and hydrates my skin. I tried to go without it but realized it was a necessity in my routine. I love this product and have been using these treatments for over 20 years.
Emily
I bought this to help with sunspots, anti-aging, and moisture. I love how smooth the product is, and it’s not heavy at all. It has helped make my skin glow. One downside is the packaging. I thought I was finished with the bottle, but after struggling to open it, I realized there was a clog. Be careful not to throw away your bottles without opening them first!
Susan
This is my first time using this product, and it glides on and offers my face a hydrated look and feel. It’s lovely. Another great product.
Fiona
This was my go-to moisturizer for sensitive skin. I ordered a new bottle and immediately started getting flushed and broke out. They added linalool at some point, and that’s a terrible ingredient for sensitive skin. I’m an aesthetician and not having a heads-up about the formula change is disappointing! Can’t and won’t continue using this.
Ashley
I absolutely love the lightweight, smooth, and velvety texture. It’s the perfect amount of moisture and doesn’t leave my skin greasy or shiny. For approximately 2 weeks, I have been using this with other treatments, and my skin has dramatically improved in texture, tone, clarity, and brightness. I get compliments all the time on how beautiful my skin is.
Milena
This is a nice moisturising face cream. Not sure how much it helps in regards to aging but it feels really nice on my skin and absorbs pretty fast too. Are there cheaper alternatives out there? Probably, hence why I bought it on sale
Laura
As someone who has tried many things for my skin and has not reviewed with equal enthusiasm, I can say I absolutely do not regret buying Metacell Renewal. I have combo skin with some occasional adult acne, which I treat with a routine of exfoliates, vitamin C and retinol. After awhile, all the products had me sensitive, dry, and at times irritated. Metacell Renewal changed all those symptoms-- and it appears it just helped my other products be more effective! I've noticed smoother, more glowy, a...
Amberlyn
Great Day Moisturizer I purchased this because I needed a daily moisturizer that wasnt as heavy as triple lipid. This is amazing for daytime to wear under makeup! Gives enough moisture, but not so much that it feels heavy throughout the day
Shauna
This moisturizer is light and kind of a satin texture so not overly greasy or heavy. My esthetician recommended this for my skin. You may need more moisture in the winter months. I switch to the Triple Lipid Restore when my skin gets really dry. The Metacell Renewal moisturizer has really helped my adult acne. I'm 34 with combination skin and have been struggling with adult acne for 5-6 years. This is the best my skin has looked! I still get breakouts but it's nothing like the cystic acne I was ...
Zoe
I just finished treatment with a medication to help my acne and improve my oiliness. I had very oily skin before starting treatment, and now have normal to dry skin. I used the B3 before, during, and after treatment. It's never felt heavy or greasy (even when my skin was oily), and makes my skin look hydrated. My skin doesn't appear as pink hued as it used to and looks brighter. It is pricey, but for me, it is totally worth it.
Danielle
This product was a total splurge for me but I'm so happy with it. My skin is bright and glowing. It is VERY light in texture and leaves my face feeling SO soft. Key reasons I purchased: Fights premature aging! Increases cell turnover! Strengthens the moisture barrier! Contains 5% niacinamide, 15% pure glycerin, firming tripeptide concentrate.
Emily
METACELL Made my skin glow!! After much research I purchased METACELL Renewal B3 because I wanted a product with vitamin B3. The first time I applied it I was sceptical about if it would help but continued to apply it in am and alternate nights over Hydrating B5 gel. After two weeks my skin texture started to improve!! Hubby even noticed and asked what gave my skin the subtle glow!! LoL. I just purchased two more!!! It is conveniently packaged in a tall narrow glass jar with a pump dispenser.
Emily
I went on an extensive search a few winters ago for a miracle product when my skin began peeling off in a dry cold panic, and I stumbled upon Metacell Renew. I have often used B gels/serums and hyaluronic acid so I was a bit skeptical at how effective it could be but this seems to work great! I layer in the winter with heavy overnight creams and hyaluronic acid and it had really reduced the amount of peeling on my face. When I ignore it, more flaking and peeling happens. I also really like that ...
Emma
Skinceuticals Metacell Renewal B3 is a lightweight moisturizer. Great for summer for any skin type. It is a superior quality product like all Skinceuticals products. It did not quite work for me. It gave me a breakout in my chin area. Though I found a new use for it as an eye cream. I usually put it on wet skin under my eyes and it works great! Very soothing and it fills in those tiny wrinkles from the sun. Overall I do recommend this moisturizer!
Karen
Does not irritate my sensitive skin. Extended use has lightened hyper-pigmentation. It has not prevented new spots. In my hot, humid climate it is all the moisturizer I need for most of the year.
Masha
Love this product - it hydrates my skin well, makes it look fresh and plump. The texture is not too thick but also doesnt feel watery. I use it together with retinol at night and under the primer and makeup in the morning.
Maria
My skin loves this! I have oily/combo skin and sometimes moisturizers—especially in the summer—can be a bit much for my skin. This lightweight, gel texture literally melts into my skin and gives it a taut, nourished appearance. The gel transforms into an almost serum-like liquid on the skin, so you only need a very little bit of this. I mix it with a drop of bronzer and it gives me a glow like nothing else.
Samantha
I'm giving Metacell 4 stars only because I have weird skin and I really have to be careful when I start new products. This is one that doesnt always work out meaning that if it breaks me out I have to wait until my skin is in a good mood to start using it but once I got past that stage I really liked it. Its very rich so I would definitely keep it as a night time moisturizer and only in the areas that you really want to see results, but it made the lines around my mouth fainter. The packaging is...
Leonora
After trying other Skinceuticals moisturizers - this is definitely the right one for me. I noticed results after about 2 months. Evened my skin texture and visibly reduced fine lines. Its very light which I like and works well under makeup. Highly recommend if you are looking for even skin tone.
Hannah
Amazing I have never used a better moisturiser in my life. Even though it's expensive and actual quantity inside is less, the product gives great results. I immediately noticed my skin was glowing and the dark patches on my face went away. When I stopped using, they came back. I just wish the quantity was more- because the bottle is not full, there is a bag inside that contains the product. This reduces the amount.
Teresa
Love this product! I've been using this product for about two weeks and I have loved the results. I only use it in the morning as it is a lighter moisturizer and it is all my skin needs. I've even stopped wearing tinted moisturizer and just put a light brushing of powder on my face in the mornings. I like that the product goes on more like a serum after you start to apply it to your skin. My skin has felt more supple and so much smoother. Definitely a fan.
Claudia
I've been in search of a moisturizer to replace Daily Moisturizer because I want something that wont pill when used over hyaluronic acid intensifier. Trying this after a recommendation from my aesthetician. I love how it goes on and sinks in immediately. I then cover with a tinted SPF, and I really dont need anything else for my foundation. So far, no issues, and no pilling.
Melanie
This has worked wonders for my skin tone. I have mild rosacea and I find combining Metacell with the Phyto Corrective serum has helped a lot. It also makes a great primer for makeup. The bottle says use 1-2 pumps, but I only need 1 (if that) for my entire face and neck; a little goes a long way. I deducted 1 star because of pricing and packaging—the frosted glass bottle makes it hard to see how much is left.
Jen
I have been wanting to try this for months, then went on vacation with my cousin who had this serum, and I was able to try it, and instantly fell in love. It immediately made my rosacea disappear and has done wonders for my skin's texture, tone, and fine lines in the 1 month that I've been using it. I will definitely be repurchasing this serum again, and can't wait to see how my skin continues to improve.
Michelle
Amazing product I first experienced this product when I had a facial at a resort about 5 years ago. I bought a bottle of it then and have been using the product ever since. It’s a great product for slightly sensitive, combination skin like mine - keeps everything in balance. I’m both acne prone and dealing with age, and this is an essential part of my daily routine. I use it in the morning after cleanse/tone/serum, then I apply moisturizer where needed and then sunscreen all over. It’s gentle bu...
Emma
I purchased this product in 2015. After reading the reviews and ingredients, I decided to take a chance. Glad I did! It took three applications to notice the difference on my skin. Much softer, smoother, and the brown spots on my face started fading in about 2 weeks. My husband even noticed the difference. My right cheek is almost clear, while my left has more sun damage, but its improving too.
Laura
Great for Post IPL Laser I love this product after an IPL laser or when I want to focus on my skin barrier. It has niacinimade and peptides and always leaves my skin feeling bouncy and soft. It comes out in a light gel that's a little bit rubbery-feeling. Very refreshing. Hope they restock it soon! My dermatologist recommended this one to me specifically. 5/5 stars!
Jackie M.
This stuff is magical. If I ever happen to skip this part in the process, the wrinkles around my eyes are VERY noticeable in the morning. But with it, I wake up looking fresh and my skin has so much moisture, without the greasy look or feel.
Olivia
Recommended by my derm's office. I've been applying this in the mornings after my serums and before my moisturizer and my skin tone is loving it. Full transparency, its only been two weeks and I know I would have quicker results if I used it both am and pm but for now just two pumps in the morning is my routine. Hoping in time this will help aid in my fight to repair/soothe my sun damage.
Chloe
My aesthetician introduced me to Metacell lotion several years ago and it’s been one of my favorites ever since. It has such a nice texture and it’s not harsh like some products I have tried. Love it!
Sarah
This is a nice, thick B3 product, best applied at night. It goes on easily and has good slip. It makes my skin feel softer and seems to reduce redness when used consistently. I put it on last in my skincare regimen. Because it is so thick, I can't add other moisturizer on top without it pilling. I prefer this one to SC triple lipid restore for the texture.
Olivia
This stuff is a great moisturizer, pretty lightweight and excellent for under makeup. I can see improvement in firmness, hydration, and even pore size. This is my go-to. My only complaint is the bottle design—its impossible to know how much you have left at any moment, and you can't unscrew it to check. The amount of moisturizer is only 1.7oz, but the bottle size makes it seem like more.
Maria
If you're looking for a lightweight moisturizer, look no further. I have combination/acne prone skin and with wearing a mask I was looking for a moisturizer that would hydrate but not clog my pores. My dermatologist recommended this product to me. At first, I was hesitant due to the price, but I am hooked, and its worth every penny. I use this in the morning and night, and my skin feels so hydrated. It also has niacinamide, which has helped even my skin tone and reduce dark spots from acne scarr...
Jenna
Purchased this after seeing the reviews once it was back in stock. Let me tell you this stuff was magic for my skin! No signs of lingering redness that I always have, which I assumed was very mild rosacea. Makes my skin super soft and clear. I pair it with other Skinceuticals products and will repurchase.
Ava
This tingles a little bit when I put it on. The smell is okay, and it is lightweight and absorbs well. This is my second purchase of this product. I was looking for something lightweight that would not break out my skin. I really love SkinCeuticals! I think this product is a bit pricey though, but I am still buying it!
Donna
Medical renewal B3 is my favorite product from SkinCeuticals! I have an extra bottle on hand in case it goes on backorder again. Such a smooth, soft serum that is definitely making a difference in my skin for both fine lines and texture as I use it longer. Will never be without!
Rachel
Perfect moisturizer with niacinamide This stuff is great. I'm ordering it for the second time so I don't have to go a day without it. The serum consistency glides on smoothly and a little goes a long way. The niacinamide helps my sensitive, rosacea prone skin. It's non-greasy, non-irritating and a perfect moisturizer for my combination skin in the humid Florida summer.
Carter
My skin is combo - dry in winter but very sensitive to moisturizers that are overly heavy/dense. This strikes that balance for me and if I stop using for any time I immediately see the difference. Worth the splurge and for me lasts a while.
Natalie
I do seem to like this product so far. I have very sensitive, reactive skin, so I did find that it caused a few tiny breakouts in the beginning, but I feel like it is helping to give my skin a smoother, more even look. It is a very light cream, so I find I am using an additional moisturizer as well. It feels a little too early to give it a full 5 stars, but my brown spots seem to be fading slightly.
Lisa
So I went to see an esthetician after my week at the cabin. I was out in the sun all day every day. When I got back home, I noticed some hyperpigmentation around my forehead and left cheek! They were light spots like I didnt get tan in those areas. My esthetician recommended this product, and it worked! I use it once a day during my nighttime routine, and now my spots are gone. This is preventative, but it definitely helped! I would really recommend this product!!
Hannah
So far, so good... I've been using this forever but wanted something to use at night. I live in the Mojave Desert so didn't want anything that would make me too sun sensitive. I also tend to break out with a lot of products. I recently received a generous sample of this, liked the texture of my skin while using it, and didn't seem to break out. So I ordered some! So far, so good. I always have some acne—I'm 48 and the hormones are bonkers, wrinkles and acne at the same time is just unfair—but it...
Lisa
Visible reduction in fine lines I purchased this as recommended by my aesthetician, whom I trust impeccably. I’ve been using it for just a short while, but so far I feel that it is helping reduce my fine lines as well as adding firmness to my skin. As a bonus, I’ve been able to put my hyaluronic acid aside, because of the 15% non-occlusive glycerin attracting a hydration to my skin. I like to use this in the am, prior to my moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup.
Lisa
Recommended If you buy nothing else, buy this. Apply twice a day, morning and night to clean skin. Moisturize after application. Recommended by my skin specialist doctor and I have to say, it absolutely works a treat on my 60 year old sensitive, normal/dry skin.
Sue
Great new product for my skin regimen I am currently on my second bottle of the Metacell Renewal and really like the results! The peptides have made a big difference in the appearance of fine lines and the serum works well on my combination skin as a light moisturizer. I was in the market for a new anti-aging serum after stopping use of another serum because of the poor packaging. This serum is just as effective and I am so pleased to have found it!
Emily
Fine gentle correction moisturizer Great Product. Purchased when recommended by my Dermatologist. I use it at night. It goes on easily, and a little goes a long way. It does not feel greasy at all. My one complaint is the bottle. It has marks on the side as if to show how much is left, but you cannot see through the glass. Consequently, you dont know when to reorder. This is silly and will cost you a star!
Olga
Not moisturizing I used whole bottle of product and didn’t see any difference. It makes my skin super dry and not make up friendly for several days. I use this under my night moisturizer and in the morning. I don’t know how it works for other people, for me it’s just waste of money.
Laura
Wonderful First purchase saw on video last month. So pleased I purchased and my Botox doctor said I could use this post procedure for facial photo procedure. Very pleased!
Lisa
Great for the day time because it’s lightweight and my skin is visibly more bright after. Niacinamide, peptides, along with hydrating ingredients help to even out skin tone and texture where I’ve seen the greatest improvement. Overtime my skin looks more firm, glowy, and supple.
Frida
This works I have been using Metacell Renewal B3 Lotion for a few weeks now, and am delighted to say that it is doing wonders for my skin. I'm in my early 70's and have noticed a clarity and freshness that wasn't there before. This is another wonderful product I will continue to use.
Lisa
Really great product I got 2 samples of this and used them back to back so I could get a better sense if this would work well on my skin. Well, it definitely did! This product feels like a gel-lotion hybrid and soaks in quickly. My dark spots on my forehead and cheeks diminished significantly. While my dark spots are not completely gone, they are barely shadows now. The clarity of my skin is fantastic and it looks great without any makeup. I highly recommend this product.
Mitchell
Tones My Skin and Evens Skin Clarity I first purchased this product a few years ago and returned it after about two weeks because I didn't see any results. This time, I used the product more consistently and saw great results! My skin tone evened out from a lot of hyperpigmentation and appeared brighter to me. The texture is very thin and pleasant, especially during these summer months. Definitely recommend!
Joanna
Essential! I cannot live without this product. I love the texture and how my skin feels afterwards. Ive seen an improvement in evening out skin tone. Also I have seen a reduction in fine lines around my eyes. Very happy and will buy this in bulk.
Emily
New Summertime Favorite I was nervous to try this as I generally use a thicker moisturizer for my dry middle-aged skin. I was surprised to find it still gave me the moisture I wanted despite being lightweight. Full disclosure I did mix it with my facial oil and I use it after applying their B5 hydrating gel. No breakouts. No sticky feeling just soft hydrated skin. Glad I gave it a try.
Lisa
Skin Most Important Organ I have used SkinCeuticals in the past and always stay with high quality products. I am 58 years old and because I use these products religiously, I get mistaken for being in late 30s. I tried Metacell renewal for the first time this past month and I can see that my skin is softer, crow lines around the eyes have decreased and even where sebaceous cell plugging had shown some signs of white bumping they have decreased in size. I am totally in love and will not be without...
Maria
Moderately Benefit for Retinoid Irritation Started using the Metacell B3 serum at night following application of a topical retinoid and noticed moderate improvement in skin sensitivity after about one week of regular use. The retinoid previously caused my skin to peel and turn red during warm weather even with religious sunscreen application. With the addition of this B3 serum, the redness disappeared and the peeling improved but didnt entirely go away. For the price, I had hoped for more effect...

So far, so good I recently turned 40 and wanted a cream that would hydrate and help the overall appearance of my skin. I apply this cream in the mornings before sunscreen and makeup application. It absorbs nicely and my skin feels hydrated and soft. I have noticed a difference already in that my skin is smoother and more even tone. I also apply this cream to my neck and décolletage to smooth out fine lines and am seeing results there also.

Perfect, light lotion After receiving a light chemical peel, my provider recommended I try SkinCeuticals Metacell Renewal B-3 Lotion. It is so light and airy, compared to my daily moisturizer. I liked its feel so much, that I went right home and ordered the product.

Post sample purchase I received a sample of this and it was so great I purchased a bottle. The directions say you should rub it into your skin until it is absorbed - I wasnt doing this initially - so things may improve more as I continue to use it. I do notice my skin is softer and more even toned when I wake.

Not loving this one I'm a bit on the fence about this product. I love everything in the line, but this serum seems a bit, well...meh. Does it work? Not sure. It has a lovely texture and glides on smoothly, but other than that, I can't say that it has the horsepower of other products. No regrets on trying it, but most likely would not purchase it again.

Great daytime moisturizer I have combination skin that gets a little drier in the winter. I’ve been using this after the CE Ferulic in the morning for some extra hydration without increasing oiliness. I use before sunscreen/tinted moisturizer.

Great skincare routine addition This serum is really great to pair with other skincare products. I like to apply it at night right before applying retinol to minimize any retinol side effects (e.g, redness, peeling, dry skin, etc). My skin is very sensitive so using this product really helps with keeping my skin calm and moisturized. Highly recommended!

Light and smooth I have been using it for over 4 months now. I love it. It goes on like a serum and you massage it in until it absorbs into the skin. I use it as my daytime moisturizer because I live in a humid, hot climate so it is a perfect, lightweight option before sunscreen. No breakouts, even with masks and sweat. Will continue to purchase.

New Fave!!! I have very oily skin t-zone and also have some discoloration due to sun exposure and my esthetician recommended this so I decided to give this a try and so far, I absolutely love it! It's lightweight but very hydrating for the drier parts of my skin. It's not greasy or heavy at all. I can also tell a little difference in some of the darker spots on my forehead! I will certainly continue to use this!!!

So Glad I Found This After seeing this mentioned in many reviews as a standard ingredient to regimes, I decided to give it a try. My almost 70 years old skin just loves this. Used as directed 2 times daily, my skin is more supple and smoother. Seems firmer. It feels wonderful going on. It is rich and a little goes a long way. Wont be without it.

Great light moisturizer I had been using another product but it kept pilling whenever I’d layer it with another product as if sitting on top of my skin and not absorbing. I switched to this product and love it. It’s a great light moisturizer. It comes out like a cream but rubs in like a watery serum and absorbs completely. I don’t need a ton of moisture though as my skin is on the oily side and this is the perfect light amount.

Light moisturizer I have sensitive, redness prone, normal-to-dry skin with acne rosacea. Metacell Renewal is the best light moisturizer I've ever used. It moisturizes without greasiness or breakouts. It also smooths out lines and wrinkles. I use it under face cream during the day and another product at night.

Good nighttime moisture I like this for nighttime use only. It is thick and can pill if used with too many other products. It feels super moisturizing and does reduce redness if used consistently. I like the feel of this overall as it goes on smooth. Smell is fine, not much there. Will repurchase.

Super effective anti-aging moisturizer I love this moisturizer. I have used this every morning for about 5 years. This is very light but also very moisturizing, actually much more moisturizing than most facial lotions I have tried, and it has the added benefits of peptides to help with anti-aging. I do believe that it has helped my skin stay plump and firm over the years. Strongly recommend.

Excellent I ordered my first bottle, and I really like it. I use this cream in the morning before my sunscreen and I use another product at night. I can tell my skin looks fantastic. I can get up in the morning with no makeup. I highly recommend it.

Makes my face feel hydrated and smooth! Will continue to purchase. Highly recommend!

Have just began using but already can tell the difference.

This stuff is magical. If I ever happen to skip this part in the process, the wrinkles around my eyes are VERY noticeable in the morning. But with it, I wake up looking fresh and my skin has so much moisture, without the greasy look or feel.

I have never been more in love with a product brand

I absolutely love this product! I've been using this since 2019 I believe. My skin began to feel smoother, with less wrinkles and felt more youthful after maybe 1-2 weeks. But individual results may vary person to person. I use it twice daily after cleansing, toning and using the B5 hydrating gel. Its pricey, but worth it!!
