Ideal for skin preconditioned with Retinol 0.5, this SkinCeuticals' night cream targets and corrects the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration. Powered by the highest concentration of retinol and botanical extracts, Retinol 1.0 Maximum Strength Refining Night Cream exfoliates skin to reduce the appearance of blemishes and pores while minimizing breakouts.

- Soothing Complex: this skin-calming blend of bisabolol (derived from the chamomile plant) and boswellia serrata extract (derived from frankincense) provides soothing benefits and helps comfort the skin.
Key Benefits:

In the evening, apply 4‐5 drops to clean dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Allow product to absorb before applying other skincare products. Limit initial use to once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, then every night as tolerated. It is recommended for new users to start with a Retinol 0.3 to establish skin tolerance.

be VERY sparing
I overused this and it was bad for my skin but when I was more cautious it was more effective.

Works great
Excellent product. Does what it claims. Peeling started pretty quickly and my skin looked great. I am still early in process. But I plan to continue using this even though it was pricey.

Best Retinol Product
Great product - does what it claims. I use nightly. My skin is the texture of someone decades younger.

Takes getting used to, but once you're on a routine and your skin has acclimated to it, you glow! I love it. Don't need much- one container lasts a long time. Worth the cost- high quality product. I'm 48 and no wrinkles!

Savior for Residual Cystic Acne
My entire skin care routine is based on this product. I want to clear congestion to establish an even base for makeup application. Even better, feel more confident going without makeup. This product did just that and more. Cystic acne scars are less noticeable and, bonus, lines and wrinkles have significantly diminished. Acclimated with two .5 tubes and followed directions on increased use. Never had a full breakout with most noticeable purge occurring after the jump to 1.0. Wait 30 minutes for product to fully absorb prior to applying moisture. Biggest issue was the random days of extreme dryness, redness, flakiness and/or patchiness. No makeup on those days and only repetitive applications of Avene Skin Recovery Cream throughout the day worked to calm down skin. Usually didn't last more than 1 day. Also exercised extreme caution with sun exposure. Skin Synopsis Just turned 40. Two Accutane cycles for cystic acne ages 19 and 36. Residual congestion from cystic acne, redness and discoloration from scarring of various depths that make skin uneven. Combination oily to dry, especially around the nose. Blackheads/large pores. Moisture to oil ratio makes makeup challenging. Can be volatile due to stress and weather. May violently reject new products.

The Real Deal
As a huge fan of SkinCeuticals, I suspected this Retinol cream would be wonderful-and it is. It is the best Retinol product that I have found. A small amount goes a long way, and there is little to none of the usual Retinol odor. Once again, SkinCeuticals have proven to be the absolute best products on the market.

Denatured Alcohol alert!
The ingredient list for this product on the Dermatore site is wrong and DOES NOT match the ingredient list on the box. This will not dry you out in the normal way retinol does, this will DAMAGE your skin and dry it out from the DENATURED ALCOHOL that is very high up on the ingredient list. No one should ever ever use any product containing denatured alcohol. It's been 10 days since I used this product and my skin is still recovering.

Drying start slow
Too early to say on how well it works but warning those to start slow. I started with just a spot test got a little dry. Waited another day and applied in full. Days later and my face is still dry and flaking. Going to continue with using but slowing until my skin can handle.

Satisfied New User
I have been using this Retinol product for a couple of weeks. Before this product I received a sample of 0.5 % which I used everyday. Since this is twice the strength of the 0.5 % I have been using it twice week and had no ill effects. I plan to gradually increase to using it everyday. I have included a couple of other SkinCeuticals products in my routine and have seen positive results. Hopefully after continued use I will see even more improvements.

Fingers Crossed
The purge is real. I'm in my second week. My normal breakout spots (chin, upper lip, jaw line) are LITTERED with white heads. I honestly just counted 33 visible white heads. Last week the flakes, redness and burn came but are no longer an issue this week. All that being said, I am trying not to panic. The rest of my face where I typically do not break out IS GLOWING. I didn't believe I was going to purge because I had been using Rodan + Fields reverse with Retinol for the last few years. Apparently this Retinol is MUCH stronger. I'll update my review in a few weeks.
