Skin Medica Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This was my first time trying Retinol. My friend who is an aesthetician recommended this brand. I got the .5 because I have very sensitive skin. This product is amazing. My skin looks so smooth and firm. I did start slow and worked up to every night, never had any redness or drying!

Gentle And Effective

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this  retinol for years and I’m very happy with it. I use the .5% for many years and then moved up to 1%, however that was too strong for me even after so many years. I have moved back down to the .5% and I’m happy with its gentle, steady results.

Skin Medica Age Defense Retinol Complex 0.5

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I find this retinol complex 0.5 too harsh for everyday use. I get  the best  results when I use 0.5 once or twice a week and 0.25 everyday.  My skin looks and feels great without the peeling and redness.

My skin tolerated this really well. I don’t think it’s the best retinol on the market but definitely best value. Will continue to repurchase

I really am happy with this retinol . I have been using it for a while . The .5 is perfect for my skin . Tried the 1.0 and despite using it once or twice a week made skin peel too much

Wow. Just wow.

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've used many different retinols over the years, but never one that  has made such a noticeable difference in such a short period of time.  I struggle with rosacea, and my skin tends to be on the sensitive side - an issue with retinols. However, my redness has nearly disappeared since I started using this.

Skin Medica Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve been using Skin Medica Retinol for years.  Love the feel and I think it helps with fine lines and even reduces pore size.  I bounce from .25 to .50 for times of skin sensitivity.
