Great intro

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is my first SkinMedica retinol and I love it! I was able to begin using it every night (I do not have sensitive skin), and now after 6 months I will be upgrading to the .5 at the recommendation of my dermatologist.

This product has done wonders for my skin over time. I do not get any sensitivity or redness from it and it lasts a long time!

Super Gentle and Effective

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

So I just started my retinol journey after a few years off and pregnancy. I have tried another brand in the same low dose and found it to be too irritating for my sensitive skin. I decided to bite the bullet and go with Skinmedica on the lowest dose possible. It has been just a bit over 2 weeks and I have to say it is so gentle on my rosacea prone skin and I can already tell a difference in texture. My skin has become quite uneven and bumpy over the years and I am on my quest to start a serious anti-aging program and one day I just woke up to look in the mirror and notice how much smoother my skin looks. I also feel like it has started to slightly fade some of my hyperpigmentation. The first week, I followed the instructions and since my skin felt just fine, I bumped it up to an extra application the second week. I love it and I cannot wait to see what using this for many months will bring. Keep in mind, you will need a nice thick moisturizer as it is retinol and can make your face feel a bit dry.

Great product!

I've been using this a few weeks and I really like it. It's pretty gentle and I was nervous to start this since I have sensitive skin. I have experienced slightly dry skin but I have been using it every other night. It has reduced a dark spot on My face already! Great starter retinol!

Excellent starter retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm new to retinol entirely and have had no problems whatsoever with this product. I have sensitive skin and started with twice weekly use and have since ramped up to every other night with no redness, peeling, or irritation. Very curios to see what the .5 is like.

Good retinol

This is a pretty effective, yet gentle, formulation. Saw decent improvement in my skin with no skin irritation.

start level retinol

This is an excellent starting dose of retinol. I had no skin irritation with this one, and then increased the dose to 0.5. I haven't been using this for a while though.

A great staple

I've been using this forever. It's been part of my nightly routine for years and will continue to be. It keeps my skin clear and helps keep fine lines at bay. Love.

Great first Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Highly recommend this product. Good value as a little goes a long way. Mild irritation and no issues with peeling. I started off slow (2x per week) which helped my skin adjust. Already noticing my skin clear up and texture approve.
