SkinMedica's Age Defense Retinol Complex 0.5 enhances the skin's texture to promote a brighter, more youthful complexion. 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. Mild redness, peeling and irritation is expected when using this product. Use daily sun protection with SPF 20 or higher during use of this product. Avoid getting in eyes.

.5 Retinol Complex
Like most women I have very sensitive skin, but this product is working for me without any difficulties. I started like suggested of twice a week, but now it is three times a week and doing good. I can't wait to see what it does for me in the near future as explained. My dermatologist recommended this line of products as the best on the market and is as good as anything she could prescribe! So here I am! KSQ

Necessity
I'd say I'm relatively informed on all things skincare but seemed to feel like I'm lacking the retinol portion of my routine. I've only heard good things about skin media and I've tried a sample size of this product and so I'm starting with the 0.5 and once I'm done with this I plan on moving up to the 1.0

great product for sensitive skin
Know the benefits of prescription retinol but my sensitive skin cannot tolerate it. This product is a great alternative - powerful yet gentle

Great product
I have very sensitive skin, and this product not only does it's job, it doesn't irritate my skin at all. I highly recommend-worth the cost!

Great Retinol
I started with the .25 from this brand and eased my way up very slowly. I have extremely sensitive skin and this was one my skin was able to tolerate (starting slow!) better than other retinols. There is barely a scent so if you are worried about weird face smells, this is a good pick! Leaves skin feeling super smooth. Excited to try stronger retinol.

Nice Product
This product was recommended by my Dermatologist, and I think it works well! It works even better with the other SkinMedica products.

Skinmedica Retinol
This retinol is hands down one of the best, I don't think I'll ever bother trying another!

Only retinol I use
My dermatologist told me to use this product and it is probably one of the main reasons I constantly get complimented on my skin. I have a strict skincare routine and this is one of the steps I never miss (DO NOT skip sunscreen when using this product). Also this is the only website I trust that has discounts on Skinmedica.

Excellent retinol product
I have been using this product for several years and I use this several times a week. I have noticed a difference in my skin tone, clarity and fine lines almost immediately. I highly recommend!
