Beginners retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a great retinol to start off with if you’re new to the product. It will not dry or irritate your skin like some other retinols that are stronger. I love all skin medics products. I am using this in combination with the Lytera and HA.

Would buy again!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol product is a good starting spot. My skin was dry after the first few uses, but I eased into it and eventually had to increase to .5 strength in order to maintain effectiveness.

Gentle

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I am loving this product. I've used it for about year and have noticed a huge transformation of the pigment on my face (had a lot of sunspots) and the texture of my undereyes. I use RetinA nightly and wanted to boost it, so started using this daily (even though it's recommended for night use.) I have had zero irritation (always follow with a sunscreen) and will continue purchasing.

Decent

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

First time using a retinol. Haven’t noticed huge difference yet but like that it’s a low enough dose to use daily without peeling

Great that this comes in different strengths

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

A couple of years ago I used retinol regularly and had worked my way up to using SkinMedica's strongest 1% formula every other night. My skin looked great, but I gradually stopped using it as often and found that I had peeling and redness all over again when restarting. I have used the .25 and .5% formulas to work my way back, with excellent results and no peeling.

Best retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using this for the past 2 months. After the first month of using I started seeing a huge difference in my skin texture and appearance. I didn’t have any sensitivity at all. I only use it 3xs a week. And for me it’s can dry my skin out a bit so I’ll use a light moisturizer before applying and that has been working out well. No irritation at all. A new holy grail product for me. I’ll try the 0.5 after I’ve used this all up.

Great

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Was using skinceuticals .3% slightly more then this and it was out of stock. I have dry sensitive skin and that always made me peel if I used more then 2x a week. Tried this didn’t think it would work cause slightly lower percentage still works great maybe even better cause peeling isn’t as bad
