I Like It, It's Approved!
This has been pretty gentle and I like it enough that I am ordering the 0.5% formula now. I tried a different brand's 0.25% formula and my face didn't agree with it very much... often had a burning sensation but it hasn't happened with this one. Been using the SkinMedica every day for over a month. It comes in a glass bottle with a screw off pump top. So I like that it stays closed to help keep it fresh, but that when it gets down to the bottom, I can open it to try and use it up.

Great Starting Retinol
When I first started using retinol, I started with this .25 one. It was great, I could tell it was keeping my skin "glowy", but wasn't too harsh for my sensitive skin. I have recently started using the .5 one and my skin felt well prepped for the increase in strength since I started with this one. I would recommend this brand retinol to anyone. Although it is a little price, this is truly a product that I would have to agree with the statement of "you get what you pay for".

Gentle on Skin
I like this product because it doesn't seem to irritate or seem harsh on my skin. Also helps with texture and fine lines.

My favorite retinol
Ive tried a few retinols and after trying this product I will never go back. I use it every other day and its PERFECT for my sensitive skin. I notice a difference in how even my skin tone looks after using it for just a few weeks. Love this product

Need Additional Moisturizer
Although this helped clear up my skin tremendously, it is very drying. You will need to be sure to add an additional moisturizer to apply to the skin after absorbed. Overall, the best brand retinol I have tried.

A great retinol for a beginner
I have sensitive skin and have tried retinol and its prescription sister in the past with irritating results. I was very skeptical about trying again, but Age Defense Retinol .25 has been kind to my skin. I always make sure that my skin is dry before applying. And, I always put my TNS serum on first. Then, after several minutes, I apply the retinol. I began with twice a week for two months and also added moisturizer after retinol, and am now at three times per week without the nightly moisturizer on retinol nights. The other nights I use a nightly moisturizer. At three times weekly, I do experience flakiness. I realize that it can take twice as long for retinol products to work compared to prescription products. However, my forehead milia are slowly beginning to clear up after almost a lifetime of those pesky bumps. I like the .25 because it is so mild. My hope is to one day graduate to .5 retinol.

It REALLY WORKS!
Wow, honestly I was skeptical about how much of a difference such a low dose of retinol would do in my treatment; and I can confidently say that in the one week I've used it-IT REALLY WORKS. My skin feels as smooth as a baby's bum, my pores are smaller, my acne scars are dismissing, and I didn't really breakout during my time of the month. 100% going into my "favorites" and monthly subscription.

Great retinol product
Great ingredients, not irritating on normal skin. Great first retinol to get into using them and get your skin ready for higher strengths.

Love this!
This retinol is light enough for me to use nightly without any irritation. Absorbs quickly as well. I do use the 1.0 a couple of times a month to enhance cell turnover but typically the 1.0 results in flakey skin. I have been using this product for over a year.
