Glowing skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I ordered this and my skin has been glowing and smooth since I started using it. I had previously used another brand’s .3 retinol but this is far superior in my opinion. It doesn’t seem to cause irritation for my super sensitive reactive skin and the irritation/acne I had been dealing with seemed to have calmed down. I use this every other night.

My first retinol working it's magic!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is my first time using a retinol - I'm currently on my second week of using the product. To get started, I'm using it every three days. I'm 25 and my skin is on the dry/dehydrated side with a little bit of redness of my cheeks and a little hormonal acne on my chin. I was so worried that a retinol would overly irritate and dry out my skin, but this one doesn't! I have to say I'm extremely impressed. I'm experiencing minor redness and flaking as I'm adjusting, but it's really not a huge deal. Best of all... I'm already seeing results! The hormonal acne on my chin is clearing up and the texture of my entire face is very smooth. Highly recommend for a first time retinol user who is nervous about joining the vitamin A gang!! Overall: Fast results with minimal irritation. Can't wait to see the long-term results.

Retinol .25

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

At the advice of my aesthetician I started using Skin Medica Retinol .25,  I immediately saw a difference,  I have fewer lines around my eyes!

Great for consistent application

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Really enjoying using this retinol. I worked up to being able to use this daily without any irritation. I might actually stay with this percentage as I’m able to tolerate it on a more consistent basis.  Though it’s not as strong as a 1%, I genuinely see this product working. My skin is visibly smoother and brighter.

Works well

I really like how this works to help with skin discoloration and menopausal acne. I went down to.25 because my skin is thinner due to age.

Started Low

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been wanting to improve my skin care regimen (being in my early 30s). I had a facial done at a dermatologist office that uses SkinMedica products, and I was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this product. Generally, I shy away from retinols or vitamin c due to sensitive skin prone to breakout but the esthetician assured me the SkinMedica .25 would not cause any issues. She was right! It has done nothing but improved my skin tone and the smoothness of my face. Currently, I use it every other night and once I go through this bottle I am considering using the .50.

Excellent

I am a skin medica fan and have never used a retinol because they have burned my skin.  I love the skin medica offers different levels of the retinol.  I can see a different in my skin since using this.

Age defense

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a good retinol product.  I only use .25 as I can use it daily and my skin isn't flaky.  I still feel the retinol has improved the looks of my skin.
