Works Well

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I recently bought the SkinMedica 1.0 Retinol Complex as I thought I was ready to up my dosage after using the PCA .25 retinol. SkinMedica's retinol is potent and effective. I use this every other night on my face and neck. As all retinol products tend to irritate and dry out skin, I had to work my way up to be able to apply this product every other night. It was totally worth dealing with the dry, peeling skin to build up tolerance. I've been using for close to two months and have already noticed results. I will continue to buy this retinol since it's effective and at a lower price point than others offered through Dermstore.

Worth the price

Helps a great deal with diminishing fine lines as well as wrinkles. I've been using this nightly for over 10 years.

SkinMedica Retinol compared to Afirm Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used to buy Afirm all the time from Dermstore, BUT they quit making Afirm .. so I have tried SkinMedica and it is not as good....I wish I could have gotten Afirm or something similar ...

Very Powerful Stuff!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have used retinol before, but it's been a while. The instructions say to first use a couple times a week, not everyday at first. I thought I could handle it, but I was wrong. It's very powerful, so I scaled it back. Have been using it as part of my treatment after getting a Halo laser facial.

Works very well!!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I had been using a 1% product from my dermatologist and when it ran out I just thought I would try Skinmedica's product rather than make a special trip to the dermatologist. It actually works better than than the prescription product at 2/3 the price! Really love it - use sparingly, though, and moisturize well. The dermal moisturizer from Skinmedica keeps my face from drying out while using the retinol. Great products!

Works great!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I use this on my forehead every night and it has diminished the look of my wrinkles. I have pretty oily skin and was worried about it making me break out, but it did not and that is hard to find! I do wish the bottle was see through to know how much I have left.

Love this product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

After a couple years of not using this product I knew it was time to add it to my skin care routine once again and I'm so glad I did! Even after only a few uses I can tell that it will have such a positive result!! And shopping with Dermstore has always been a great experience.

Very expensive

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really like this formula. The retinol you're get with a prescription can be very drying. You can to mix lotion to it. This stuff is pre-mixed. I think it's a very good product. I love it. It's totally expensive. If it were in the 50s-60s price range I'd buy it again

This is GREAT

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

SkinMedica Age Defense Retinol Complex 1.0 is a winner for me. I have been using this product for about a year now. Was introduced to this at a medical spa night function and very impressed with the results. It is strong, and gets the results as promised.
