Exceptional Retinol Product

Gentle, but extremely effective. Smoother, more radiant skin after just a few uses.

Favorite retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love Skin Medica's retinol. I used their 0.25 formulation for a year to build my tolerance for the 0.5. I have fair, sensitive skin (MAC foundation color C2) and I have been using the 0.5 formula for about 1 year now. I use it only once a week and around the 4 day mark is when I notice my older skin will slough off to reveal brighter, wrinkle free beauty. I see that my brown spots have faded if not completely disappeared and I was recently carded in Napa Valley in February and I turn 30 in a few months. If I do use it more than once weekly then I will burn so I sometimes titrate it with my lotion. I may go back to using the 0.25 formula so I can use more often since my skin hasn't adapted yet and may be too strong for me.

Works for me

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This has done some serious work for my post-acne spots. I am latina, with skin tone ranging from sallow olive to deep tan, depending on how much sun I've seen in the previous days. I get pretty bad acne on my cheeks, which leave purply-brown scars, and applying this 3x/week noticeably faded the latest spots in only about a month. I will say though, I wear sunscreen every day, and my sensitive skin did not take kindly to this being applied more often than every other day. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase-the 0.5 strength works fine for me, but I might dial it down to 0.25 next time so I can apply more frequently.

New go-to retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I switched to this from another retinol product that was not working well for my skin. I am really loving this product and am increasing to daily use. So far, the results are promising and as advertised. Highly recommend.

Can't go without it

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have sensitive, combination skin with hormonal breakouts (even though I'm 40!) This strength doesn't bother my skin and if I use it nightly keeps breakouts away. This is one product I cannot go without!

Excellent retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love the texture. The product doesn't have any scent so it's a plus. My skin got smoother, firmer, glower one the morning. I'm using the 2rd bottle now.
