Not bad but nothing amazing yet

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have very sensitive skin so I am always hesitant to try new products. This one hasn't made me break out or anything so that is a plus. I will say I have not noticed a crazy difference in my skin texture yet but I think I just need to build up my tolerance and start using it more often.

Skinmedica Retinol .25

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is the perfect option if you’re just getting started using retinol, it is gentle and you can use start gradually using it just a couple of times a week. I have very sensitive skin and I can use it about 5 times a week now.

Gentle and effective

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this retinol! I am 56 and have tried to acclimate to retin A in the past…too harsh. I started slowly with this and built up to nightly use with no irritation and have been able to successfully incorporate retin a into my regimen…great Price and lasts a long time….love the pump !

Great starter retinol!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have super sensitive skin. I was looking into adding retinols to my skin care routine and all of my research guided me to this one! I got the lesser of the formulas to get started and I’ve had no reaction but magnificent results! I cannot wait to buy another bottle with a more concentrated formula to see how well it works!!

I have used so many eye creams and this one lasts me for about a year, a little goes a long way. I am 30 years old and get questioned my skin care routine all of the time and I attribute it to eminence products!

Satisfactory

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

The brand is well known and I think I was expecting to notice some results or any small changes. Nothing special about product for me yet.

Effective!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really like this retinol. Even though it’s less strong and advertised for beginners, it’s certainly still powerful and effective. I’ve noticed that it clears up my blemishes and evens skin tone. I always follow it with moisturizer, but have switched to every other night versus nightly since it was still drying out my skin. Since then, it’s been great!

Makes such a difference!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Using retinol consistently has drastically improved my skin. I tried using the 0.5 version, but it made my skin extremely irritated and flaky. The 0.25 version is perfect for me and does not cause any irritation if I use a good moisturizer after. Even if you only use this product once or twice a week, it'll make a difference!

Perfect beginner retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been wanting to add retinol to my routine for a while but when I tried the Drunk Elephant retinol it made my skin itchy, dry, and painful. So I know I needed to start low. Everything by skinmedica I've tried has been amazing! This is no different. Great and effective product! Will definitely be using this retinol in the .5 next time!

First retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This was the first retinol I ever used. And I am in LOVE. I got so many compliments after using this consistently. It makes me excited to use this product. At 28, I thought it was time for some prevention, and this retinol does that and so much more!
