Perfect Texture and No Scent
I love that this is light and runny. It comes out as a very light weight lotion and if I am breaking out i wont layer a moisturizer on top and this will dry it all up.

REALLY GREAT RESULTS
I have only used this product about 7 times so far because I am gradually increasing my use, but my skin already looks brighter, more youthful, and my pores are smaller. I had a little bit of redness for a day and a half after use number 5, but no peeling yet. I am already increasing to 3 times a week. I love this product and will definitely buy more!!

Effective, But Potent, So Beware
I love SkinMedica products and have been using a SkinMedica regimen for years now, but be forewarned: the 1.0 concentration of their Retinol Complex is POTENT. My sincere recommendation is that you work your way up from the 0.25 and the 0.5 before graduating to the 1.0, and even then, that you be alert to signs of irritation. Even sneaking up to the 1.0 after about 2 years on the lower strengths had me peeling quite significantly. I had to blend it with their moisturizer for about 4 months before I could use it full strength. Other than the potency issues, it seems to perform as advertised, accelerating skin turnover to help fight dullness, dryness, mild acne, and hyperpigmentation.

Reliable Retinol
This retinol is very good. I switch different products and always come back to this one. The ingredients are wonderful and it is not too irritating to my sensitive skin. I started slow every couple days and now I can wear this every night!

Awesome product
I love this product. It hs changed my skin so much! I have oily skin with adult acne as well as some signs of aging. This has mad my pores smaller and skin an even texture. I highly recommend it. I didn't start out with the .5 I went straight for the 1.0. I had to use it every three days at first but my skin acclimated to it pretty quickly within two weeks I was using it every night. Now it's been three months since I started it, I will continue to use it. Very happy with the results. ** I also wanted to second what another customer stated, DO NOT get it on ur neck. My neck got so itchy peely and flakey.. I couldn't think straight with how itchy it was for like a week. Lol. But other than that I will not go without this product ever!! It's amazing.

Great non-prescription retinol
Went from the 0.5 to 1.0 - a small amount of peeling, but formula has same great texture and is gentle despite the high retinol concentration.
