Wish I've ordered this sooner!
Retinol has been a real game changer for me - I've only tried SkinMedica's one and honestly see no reason to experiment since its workings like a charm. My skin is brighter and plumper, but the biggest win is that all those annoying breakouts are significantly reduced - I now almost never get them!

CHANGED MY LIFE
I've never been happier with my skin. I had acne consistently for a good 8 years, after using this Retinol I rarely break out. My skin is glowing and literally perfect. So happy.

Top 3 Product
I'm a 33 year old male. Love what this product does to my skin, plumps, evens out the skin tone. Can not imagine not using this in the long term.

Gentle effective product
This retinol is great! I have reactive skin and have gradually worked up to this formula and really like it! I've had family say my skin is getting younger! Can't be mad about that!!

Won't do without
I have used the product about 3 years. It is an important part of my nightly skin care routine. It is also effective every other night. I'm almost 61 and have the skin of average 40 something.

5/5 you need this
Start with 2-3 times per week. This product is fantastic! Noticable difference from the beginning and I continue to see the changes.

Seems to work pretty well
I have only been using this product for a few weeks and only every other day due to my skin being a little sensitive. It can be a little drying/irritating when I start trying to use it every day so I've had to mix it with a moisturizer. I haven't seen the results I was hoping for yet. It's probably still a little too early to tell. I just finished the .25 strength in the same brand and really liked it so I decided to try the next strength up.

Exactly what I was hoping for !
This Retinol is perfect for my skin. First time ever using a retinol and it's gentle enough for everyday. I've seen results in two weeks as fine lines are almost diminished and my skin feels so much smoother. I still have pigmentation so I think after this bottle I will increase to 1.0.

Very effective!
This is my first time getting serious about using retinol and this formula is really effective. It took me awhile to get adjusted to the strength, but I have worked up to nightly usage, and I am seeing major improvements on my face. I have acne scars, melasma from sun damage, and larger pores. I also have sensitive skin and with patience this has proved to work very well with my sensitivity. I have never gotten complements on my complexion, but I recently had friends take notice! I am more comfortable going out with only sunscreen on than I ever was in my 20's when I was I wasn't taking very good care of my skin. Once this runs out I am ready to upgrade to the 1%. I recommend applying small dots to each area of your clean/dry face and rub it into each impacted area - this is definitely not a more is better product! Be sure to moisturize well after it has absorbed for several minutes. Don't forget your quality physical sunscreen everyday as retinol makes you more sun-sensitive and you don't want to reverse your progress. I mentioned physical sunscreen because there are many studies that show chemical sunscreens exasperate melasma and hyperpigmentation.

This is the best retinol product, the texture is great, it's gentle and does the job. I can see the difference after 4 weeks.
