Good first time retinol

This is my first time using a retinol and I have to say, so far so good! I was terrified of possible peeling or dryness but I haven't experienced anything too harsh and it's been 3 weeks. I did start phasing it into my night time routine by using it every 3rd night and now I'm up to every other day. I like that once you apply it, it's not drying and there's an actual glow! While it's been too early to see how effective the product is, so far I'm happy with how it sits and feels on my skin. I'll definitely get the .5 serum next!

Definite potency

Definite potency compared to retinols not listing percent retinol content. I had mild flaking but my skin got used to it. Really good pump system that helps keep air out. The last few days of product you have to open the pump up to access it, but that was easy to do.

Great product

I love Skin Medica products. This is a great product. It doesn't irritate my skin like some of the stronger retinol products do.

Amazing Retinol

I have dabbled in retinol for about 3 years now... I have tried skinmedica, skinceuticals, osmosis, drunk elephant, sundar riley, and even prescription tretinoin. This is by far my favorite line of retinol to get. I have gone back and forth for a while at the strength I need, but I always go back to this one. I don't get the irritation like I do with the .5 and it goes well with my other products like phloretin cf and p50.

Effective

Gentle but effective. I notice improvement in the clarity of my skin with nearly every use. I'm newer to retinols and started with 2x/week and was able to quickly increase to every other day without dryness or other irritation.

No irritation

This is the first retinol product I've ever used so I started with the lower 0.25 strength. It does not irritate my skin at all and I use it every day.

My Favorite

I actually bought this for my daughter for her birthday as she is a new retinol user. I already use the 1.0 formula and love it! My dtr loves hers and will be upgrading soon.. The best retinol ever!

So far so good

Got this for my boyfriend and he likes it so far. He is targeting crows feet and frown lines. Has only been using about 3 weeks now so not too much of a difference on the wrinkles but pore size and pimple frequency have definitely decreased! Update - about 8 weeks in and still liking it. Had a bit of dryness when he upped his usage frequency but it has subsided. Love SkinMedica!

Great Start for Someone not used to a Retinol

I had never used a Retinol before transitioning to Skin Medica products. So I decided to start with this. I used it only three times a week and saw smoother skin. I continued for the next four months until the bottle was empty. Great results and no problems. I then went up to the next level .50 which I am doing now. Will write a review on that in another month or so.

New to retinol

I am new to retinol so I was excited to try this product. I am using twice a week as directed and am happy to see some results within about a month. The product has felt good going on and has not caused any redness or dryness so far. I also appreciated all the helpful info on Dermstore's site for those of us that are new to retinol.
