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.

Extremely Strong
This works but is extremely strong, turns face beet red so can only use once per week or less.

Really good
This is Skin Ceuticals maximum strength retinol , if you are here it means you have already used a minimum strength one for a while. I slowly incorporate it to my routine starting 2 times a week and seeing it doesn’t cause me any irritation i continue incorporating days. The key is apply a little amount and see, if it causes irritation stop until your skin is calm and regenerated, then think about slow it down or change to one with less porcentage. Hope it works for you bcs its a Win Win 🥇 product. USE SUNSCREEN religiously, it causes sun sensibility.

Staple Product In My Skincare Routine
SkinCeuticals has always been my favorite brand, and this retinol is just so amazing. I have been alternating between 1.0 and .5 for years now, and my skin has loved this formulation. Not too harsh like many other retinols, but is incredibly effective. 10/10.

So far so good
I have only used this a couple times so cannot comment on results, but it did not irritate my skin. I am not a fan of the packaging. I am unable to stand up bottle with pointed tip - I switched from ZO which had amazing packaging, just couldn’t justify the price.

Holy Grail of Retinol
I have been using SkinCeuticals Retinol for years. Although I never used any of the lower strengths, I have never had a problem peeling and or getting dry skin from the 1.0 strength and use it almost daily. Disclaimer, I have had several low grade chemical peels from my esthetician over the past 5 years. Yes, this brand is pricey but well worth it!! Much better than just purchasing a lower grade and or cheaper Retinol from one of those big box stores. This aluminum tube lasts a long time and is in a metal tube as it helps keep the product fresh. I am 44 and my esthetician says I have great skin!

Quickly started exfoliating
I noticed immediately after few days of using every other day lots of peeling. This might gross some out but I knew I needed to get dead skin to go away. I didn’t have much irritation or redness. Opting for stronger formula now.

Really Great Stuff
First time trying this, and it's amazing, maybe better than the retinol you get at pharmacy. Caution really works, so if you skin is not used to retinol, you may want to add a moisturizer and just use it every other day to start.
