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.

Like the extra 'strength'
I have tried the .5 before but felt I needed/my skin could tolerate the greater percentage. I feel this product if affective without being overly drying. Like the creaminess and ease of application.

Pump no function
Yes I love the product, alternate days between this and the green stuff but the pump did not work on this one, I knew that could happen as previous reviews list but I just pulled the top off and use it like that, wish they would design another pump for dispensing!

Heed the warning!
So I thought by now the little dispensing problem would be taken care of but it wasn't. I tried and tried but could not get the product out of the container. The pump mechanism did not work. The good news is that Dermstore sent me an envelope and paid for me to ship it back to them and I ordered a different brand which I'm happy to report dispenses without incident.

Smoothes skin and lightened dark spots
Great night cream! Its smoothes your skin and lightens dark spots. Love the fact the product does not have a scent. Although it is costly, a little goes a long way!

Retinol is Better Than Botox
This SkinCeuticals Retinol product was touted on Dr. Oz's show so I decided to give it a try. The packaging emphatically states that Retinol is strong and to use it sparingly. I used the product 2 nights in a row and my skin became dry immediately so I have cut back to 3 times a week and so far, combined with SkinCeuticals cream for dry skin/fine lines, there is a great improvement in the texture of my skin and facial lines are less obvious. It's only been about 3 weeks since I've used the product and I am extremely pleased with the results.

If you can get the pump to dispense the product, you will be pleased with what you see.
The pump dispenser is extremely difficult to get going. My first one (using the .5% retinol solution) I had to return. Replacement took at least 40 pumps to dispense product, but now works fine. Product itself is excellent. Nice texture, no scent, and it does the job on your skin.

"Best product for skin texture and wrinkles "
I love this product! I have very oily skin and this product keeps my skin from breaking out by reducing the oil production. I have been using this product for a year and have seen an improvement in the texture of my skin, it has smoothed out my wrinkles and lightened the dark spots. Please keep this product available!

Perfect Pores
I absolutely reccomend this product for anyone who has fines lines or larger pores. This porduct minimizes the appearence of pores dreamatically as well as promotes skin turnover. I love it.

Gentle cream with great results
Overall, I like this product. It is the strongest retinol cream you can get over-the-counter, without a prescription. I use it only every other day and don't put it around my mouth, as that is where I tend to peel more - and it does make your skin peel. The only thing I don't like about this product is the packaging. Sometimes, you have to pump the bottle dozens of times for anything to come out.
