Skin medica retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol serum is really nice bc I've used slit of harsh retinol that turn my skin red , but this serum is gentle enough that I can use it almost every night as part of my skin regimen. Oh , and it smells fresh not super strong!

Great First Time Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have never used Retinol before and started with this product. I have very sensitive and acne prone skin and this product has not caused any redness or irritation ever since I started using. I started using twice a week and now use every other night and still never experience any redness/dryness from using this. I wake up with my skin feeling extremely soft after each use. I would definitely buy again and possibly go for the .5 next time.

Very gentle

I have moderately sensitive skin and have never had irritation from this product. I can use it daily without issue. I definitely noticed my deep forehead wrinkles are way less deep lately.

I love this product. It is very gentle. I never had irritation and was able to use it every night from the beginning. When I run out of this strength, I will purchase the next one up!

Great for my sensitive skin

No irritation

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have used many different retin-A creams. This is the first one that does not cause redness, irritation and sensitivity. I started out using once a week. Now I am using twice. My skin is looking like a babies. Pores are smaller and the texture is smoother not rough. I am very happy with the product.

Great skin care routine addition

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I was recently recommended to add retinol into my skincare regimen for my aging 50s skin. So far I have loved the results! I can tell my skin elasticity and firmness has gotten better. Will continue to use and go up in percentage as I go through the product.

First Experience with Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is the first retinol I have purchased, so I started off with 0.25. It is very gentle, and I am able to use it nightly with no issues after only a week. There was minor stinging/sensitivity the first time I used it, but nothing since. I've already noticed a positive change in the texture of my skin, so I can't wait to see what long term changes are! I am planning to upgrade to 0.5 when this bottle runs out. Great product!

I enjoy this product, easy to apply, not greasy with no smell. It did not irritate my skin at all and I was using it every other day. I am going to purchase the .5 next
