Best brand of retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used the 1.0 skin medica retinol over the summer. However with the cold weather I decided to go lower in strength to avoid over drying of my skin. I'm still getting the same result despite the lower strength of 0.5. I love this retinol and use it every night along with my skin medica AHA face wash and moisturizer. I will continue to purchase as long as it continues to make my skin feel and look amazing as it does now.

Like SkinMedica But...

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really like SkinMedica products but the Retinol products are a bit harsh for my skin. Even if I use the Retinol once or twice a week for several weeks I still get severe dryness and redness. I have switched to using SkinMedica Retinol on the backs of my hands and am looking for a milder Retinol for my face. I think it would be fine for someone with less sensitive skin.

Recommended by my esthetician

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a product my esthetician recommended and I always trust her with my products! After having my daughter, my skin became more sensitive so this retinol is perfect! It's not too drying and harsh for my skin, but it still gets the results I want.

Great retinol product!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really like this retinol, I started with .25 and when I finished that bottle, I purchased the .5 and it did wonderful with my skin. I am finally starting to see skin that is proving retinol works (took about 4 months total of retinol) and I weirdly liked the scent of this product. It went on easy, absorbed quick and my face didn't feel sticky after. I always wait 20 minutes after applying retinol before my moisturizer and even before the moisturizer, it felt absorbed. I just finished this product and feel my skin is properly prepped for the skinmedica 1.0 retinol that I just purchased. A+ product.

Worth the price!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I honestly didn't know what to expect when ordering this or which retinol to pick in the line. The numbers and prices intimidated me. I ultimately went with 0.5 because I have used retinol before and planned to slowly introduce this into my routine regardless (something my dermatologist recommended for my typically dry skin as well). My past experience with a different retinol left my skin parched and sensitive. This has been the complete opposite. It's very thick, and while it dries down quickly, it doesn't dry me out. I can't speak to long term results as I just started using this for preventative care, but, I can say my skin has been clearer since using this.
