Fave Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've tried a few retinol brands, but Skinmedica is my fave! I like that they have the different strengths, & it doesn't seem harsh on my skin.

My go to retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this retinol! My skin tends to be sensitive, dry, and somewhat dehydrated and I find this product doesn't dry me out like many other retinol serums. In fact it's actually somewhat hydrating!

Age defense retinol

I have been using for years. I layer over TNS serum in my night time routine. I skip a couple of nights and use AHA/BHA exfoliating cleanser.

Two thumbs up

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used to use glycolic acid to exfoliate my skin, and it did work well, but this product is even better. I don't have to use it as often and it just seems more effective.

Retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I agree with other users. A little amount goes a long way. Let your skin dry completely after washing before applying. Find a good moisturizer and SPF. It’s one of the best on the market.

Good quality product and does his job. Isn’t too harsh when used a few nights a week in combination with other products.

Gentle Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Recently upgraded from Skinceuticals .3 to this, and am using it every night for about.a week. It's been a gentle enough so far that I've had no redness or flaking. I can't say that would be the case if your skin was not used to a lower dosage, but it's been nice to not go through an initial drying period in the first week. Skin looks fresher since upgrading as well, but am noticing some purging.

Enhances skin tone

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this for about 10 years . My dermatologist recommended it . It is a must for your skin care routine . It evens out tone and texture. If you are new to retinol start with the .25 and work your way up . I tried 1.0 my skin peeled a lot and got red so for me the .5 is perfect
