I love how it makes my skin, look and feel better without getting dried out. It definitely feels hydrated unlike other retinol products I've tried.

Love this retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have pretty dry skin to begin with so adding retinol into my routine was a little scary. I started out with SkinMedica .25 and had no dryness issues so when I ran out I decided to up it to .5. There was very minimal dryness my first time using it which I know will go away as I continue to use! My dermatologist told me this is the ONE product I should be using at 29 so here I am! Love it.

Makes my skin softer while also shrinking my pores and evening out my tone! I have been using this for years.

Gentle Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I started with the SkinMedica 0.25 Retinol Complex and decided to upgrade to the 0.5. Honestly, both are quite gentle since I never experienced dryness, redness or peeling. I mainly use this to keep my skin from getting clogged since I'm acne-prone. I'm quite happy with this product and would purchase again!

My Favorite Retinol - It Works the Best

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I personally have had very good results just using the 0.5 Retinol. I had a very stubborn sun spot on my cheek that I thought I would need to have my Dermatologist burn off as nothing seemed to work - that is, until I used this product. It has lightened it to the point where it is very unnoticeable and easy to cover up with just my regular foundation. It is strong for my light skin but I alternate nights with other products and use a ceramide based moisturizer over this product and wake up to beautiful, clear skin. I high recommend!

Excellent!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product is fantastic. I have been using it for about two years. It does not cause irritation, and it definitely helps to keep my over-40 skin looking youthful. Be sure to work up gradually; I only use it about three times per week, and be sure to moisturize when using.

One of my favorites

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using SkinMedica Retinol for almost one year. I started at .25 and have moved up to .5. My skin is noticeably brighter and clearer looking. I did experience some peeling in the first week, but I am through that now. This product is well worth using.

fave retinol!! Not too strong but just right!!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love skin medicas retinols but I found the 1.0 to be a little but too drying and irritating for my skin. This one is just perfect, it leaves my skin looking fresh and exfoliated every morning and doesnt make me peel or burn.
