Effectiveness of Retinol 1.0

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

It does cause peeling which is what you want from this product. I alternate between 1.0 and o.5 if my skin becomes excessively dry or peels excessively. This product helps with skin regeneration and reduces wrinkles. Highly recommended. If your skin is sensitive 0.5 % would be the concentration to start with

Best wrinkle defense cream

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is the best wrinkle defense cream I"ve ever used. I use it in combo with the Vitamin C Plus E to keep the age spots and uneven tone away.

Great Product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this product and can't live without it! I've seen great results from using this serum. My skin's tone, texture, and overall appearance is vastly improved. I've used this product for over a year and my skin is nothing like it was before. It is well worth the price.

This just works

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a standout product. With nightly usage on my fine lines, I notice a difference within a few days. Of all the anti-aging products I've used, this is the one that really, really works - and right away. My skin is also highly acne prone, and this has done wonders to clear my breakouts. Seriously, buy this product. It's worth it.

The only retinol cream that works!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I say that this is the only product that works because it contains the highest percentage of retinol allowed to be sold without a prescription. Retinol works on fine lines and wrinkles and will reverse most of these issues in time. I am 66 years old and have seen the results. Don't be fooled by drug store moisturizers and department store serums. They have very small amts of retinol and they charge you 25 to 100 plus dollars. Dermstore is authorized by Skin Medica ( I called them) to sell this product so you can trust that the product is legit. One suggestion: begin with the o.5% retinol first so that your skin can get acclimated to the product.

Very Strong!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using retinol serums for years, but have never used one with as much strength as this. The first time, I had serious redness and peeling a couple of days later. Now, I use one pump of the Retinol, but dilute it with another serum. The results are fantastic - my skin has really cleared up, and it looks great!
