Wonderful retinol
I started using this during the winter and my skin has never looked better. It's only necessary 2-3 times a week So don't overdue it. Skin is refined and smooth.

So far so good
I like this. I was using a higher concentration retinol cream from my dermatologist but it dried my skin out too much. This seems to be much better!

Love this product
This retinol is strong enough to do the job but not so much that it is irritating. It is smooth and easy to apply. I do feel it makes a noticeable difference in my skin. It leaves it smoother. I do not want to be without this!

Another amazing SkinMedica product
I knew my skin could tolerate a retinol, so I decided to start with the 0.5 complex. I love this retinol. It doesn't irritate my skin and has significantly improved its texture. I use it daily on my forehead and around my mouth. I've noticed my fine lines starting to diminish. I will definitely move to the 1.0 complex when I'm finished with this bottle. Thanks, SkinMedica!

Love This Product!!!
I started out using this everyday, not a good idea! It dried out the skin under my eyes and was very uncomfortable. I slowed down and began using only 3 times a week and the results have been remarkable! I used MD Forte for years, and I was devastated when they stopped making it. This is the first product I've used since then that works for me. I'm 47 years old, and people usually guess me in my 30s. I believe you get what you pay for!

Amazing product
Great product, however must work up to it slowly. With patience you will see a great difference in skin. I start out mixing with moisturizer then using straight once my skin acclimates to it.

Loving it so far!
I've only been using this product for a couple weeks now, but I am very pleased with it so far. I have very sensitive skin, so I have started out using it slowly (every couple of days). I feel my skin is a little dry getting adjusted to it, but otherwise I really do love it. I'm a first time retinol user and am glad I gave this one a try! I will certainly re-purchase down the line if I continue seeing favorable results as I am now. I absolutely love the entire Skinmedica line. As one final note, my mom who is almost twice my age has been using this and loves it too! **Update: After months of use I can still say I love this! It's gentle but super effective. Don't hesitate to get this!

Good investment
This was my first time using any retinol product. My skin had a quite a reaction to it on the first use but since then has gotten a lot better. My skin can tolerate it now so I'm moving up to the next higher strength. I'm glad I stuck it out with this retinol because I look like I have new skin! I can't stop starting at it in the mirror! If you don't have any skin conditions that prevent you from using retinol products in your regime I highly recommend that you try it, but start with the lowest strength first.

Great Retinol Product
I have heard wonders about retinol products. I myself am new to retinol (using for prevention) and I have to say I'm absolutely in love with this product. I do suggest following the directions for gradual use if you are new to using retinol products. My skin did become very dry the first couple of months using this. Minimized the usage to every third night and have worked my way up to every night. Overall great product and will repurchase! Maybe up it to the 1.0 instead of 0.5 if my skin can handle it!
