Formulated for skin tolerant to retinol treatments, it stimulates collagen production and enhances faster cell renewal to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Algae extract ensures skin is soft, hydrated and protected against free-radical damage.
Key Ingredients:
- Retinol: smooths and refines skin's texture and enhances radiance
- PhytoShield™ Complex: an antioxidant complex, enhances skin texture and minimizes irritation
Key Benefits:
- Enhances skin tone, texture, and resiliency
- Diminishes appearance of fine lines and coarse wrinkles
- Appropriate for all skin types pre-conditioned by using Retinol Complex 0.25 or another retinoid product
Apply a single pump to face in the evening. If you have never used a retinol product before, begin by limiting use to twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, and then advancing to each evening or as tolerated.

So far good
I like this product. It gives a glow but you have to use it everyday. It can dry out your skin a bit so use a moisture product also.

Great Retinol
I had previously been using a 0.5 retinol of a different brand that I honestly just wasn't a huge fan of for several reasons. This Skin Medica 0.5 Retinol has surpassed my expectations. I love the texture of it. Goes on very smooth, easy to dispense a "pea" size amount with the pump action and doesn't seem to be as irritating or drying as the previous retinol I had used. Will certainly be buying again!

Retinol every day
I love this retinol and if you use a light moisturizer with it, it won't dry out your skin.

Have been using this product for years!
I have regularly used Skin Medica products for several years. I feel like I really do see a difference in my skin. I use the retinol at night to help with fine lines and my skin texture. The 1.0 left my skin too dry and the .25 was just a little light. The .50 works the best for me. I would highly recommend.

Works Great
I started a full medical grade skin care regimen recently and Im very happy with the results. This retinol is strong enough to see results yet works great for sensitive skin some dryness when I first started but at least I know it was working. Ive used two rounds of the Sunday Riley Retinol with no change at all so seeing my skin change was a welcoming sign. I started 8 weeks ago a full medical grade skin care line and my acne/maskne went from severe to almost gone.

Great Retinol product
I have been using Retin-A for a couple years and as I get older and my skin is dryer I decided to switch to Retinol, which is not as strong, yet still effective. SkinMedica is a great brand with quality products.

Wow! First time user.
I am new to retinol. This product works. I am only using once a week because I am peeling. Adjusting my procedure after reading further about retinol. I apply the product first and wait for about 20 minutes and then apply my moisturizer. I hope this helps with some of the peeling.

Unbeatable
I started with 0.25 and went up to 0.5 after finishing the bottle - I noticed my skin was brighter and smoother after the first use! Will continue buying.

Love this product!
After one bottle of 0.25, I switched to the 0.5 and jumped right into nightly use. I've had no irritation and definitely feels like my skin is tightening little by little. I've noticed most improvement on my forehead and crows feet.
