Caused me Breakouts

Maybe I am the only one experiencing breakouts with this product?!! It caused me (whiteheads) breakouts! I have dry skin and some times will have one acne for my monthly cycle! and that's it! but after using this product ( first twice weekly, and then every other night for a month of trial) I experienced horrible breakouts that I have never experienced! I also never experienced any peeling with this product and I think I had to and initial peeling means its working. But I have not experienced any peeling! I contacted SkinMedica and they were skeptical if the product that I received were fresh or expired. It has not been expired though, but maybe was not fresh? They recommended me to stop using the product and contact Dermstore.com. Dermsotore customer service immediately sent me the return label and I am going to return it! After stopping to use the product, breakouts stopped!

Best retinol

I have been struggling to find a strong enough retinol product that is effective yet rejuvenating for the skin. It may dry you out a little bit but I do have sensitive skin. If you put on some Vitamin C serum after you will be just fine. I've only been using it a few weeks as my skin needs to be build up a tolerance. But I am starting to notice the fine lines, especially around my eyes and mouth starting to go away. I am 26 years old, I make tons of facial expressions and want to stay natural and wrinkle free as long as possible. I strongly recommend this product. SkinMedica is truly amazing with their products, and they have the science to back it up. This is a great product for first time retinol users. You will not be disappointed, just give it time!

Great start to a Retinol regimen

The .25 is a great place to start with retinol. Your skin will adjust to it and you can see the difference it makes. I have since moved up to a higher concentrate of it and I definitely notice if I have skipped a few nights without it. Scent is hardly noticeable, texture is soothing! Highly recommend!

My Go-To Retinol

This is the first and only Retinol I have ever or will ever use. I have been using it for almost a year. I do not plan to switch, as this works wonders. Start slow and build up to every day use.

Great product

I haven't experienced any irritation. I wanted a retinol and have tried some before that really dried me out. Haven't experienced that with this one yet.

Great Retinol

This is the first time I've purchased this brand and I have not been disappointed. Easily sinks into skin and is gentle enough that my skin doesn't get dry or flaky. I rotate this in with other products I use in the evening and it has been great. Would repurchase. May consider stepping up to the .5 retinol next time.

Best of the best

I have very sensitive skin and this product is the only one I can use. I tried many but always come back to SkinMedica Retinol Complex .25 It has made my skin more youthful looking, glowing with less wrinkles and smooth pores.

Great for sensitive skin

I've tried many others and for sensitive skin, this is the best. Especially helpful with fine lines around the eyes.

First Real Retinol

This is the first real retinol I've used and it's very gentle. I haven't noticed any flaking or dryness from it and I've been using it for a few weeks, about every other day. I haven't noticed a change in the texture or tone of my skin, but it wasn't poor to begin with. I have very oily skin and I feel like this is helping control the oil

Gentle retinol good for first time usage

I started using 0.25 strength skinmedica retinol about 8 months ago. It is mild and causes minimal irritation and peeling in the beginning when the skin is trying to get acclimated to retinoids. Absorbs well. It has made my oily skin less oily and smoother. A little goes a long way. Will last 3 to 4 months, even if used daily.
