New fav retinol

I've been using this for just a few weeks and was concerned I'd have a lot of dryness. I use it maybe 2-3 times a week and so far haven't had too much flaking. One spot randomly is very scaly but everywhere else is pretty normal, so I'm happy!

My Favorite Product

I have been using Age Defense Complex 0.5 by SkinMedica for years. My facial skin has never looked better! Every where I go, people compliment me on how beautiful my face looks! It's texture is so much better now & my face shines so beautifully! In the beginning, your skin will peel until your skin gets use to the retinol. If you continue to use it everyday or every other day, the peeling with eventually stop. Don't stop using it! Give it enough time to work for your skin! I couldn't be happier with this product!

Best Retinol

Love the 0.5 Retinol. Easy to tolerate after using the 0.25 for the past 6 months. My skin already looks better.

Amazing Retinol

I purchased this as my first medical grade retinol and really first real retinol in general. It isn't harsh at all and my skin is able to tolerate using it a few times per week without any irritation. I definitely recommend!

Retinol start up

As recommended I started with this product as it contained a low dose of retinol. I have been alternating days and notice some improvement in my wrinkles. It hasn't been irritating and I am using a sunblock daily.

One of Favorites

This is truly the best OTC retinol I've ever tried! I have tried a couple of others, but always come back to this. This leaves my skin looking and feeling so smooth!

So far so good

I was really wavering on whether to buy this one or the .25 because I have very sensitive skin, but I'm glad i bought this one. I've been using it for a couple weeks with zero irritation. I just made sure to space out applications to every 3-4 days so as to not cause any potential irritation. I haven't noticed any difference in my skin yet, but like I said it's only been like 2 weeks and I'm sure it'll take a bit longer. Happy I purchased, and feel more confident when this is gone that I could switch to the 1% down the line.

Works well

It is powerful for sensitive skin, so I only use it a couple times a week. I definitely see a difference in my skin and will continue to purchase from this brand!

Great stuff!

My dermatologist had put me on this over a year ago, and while my skin took a little bit getting use to the product (experienced a little peeling around the edges of my nose and on my chin early on) I see the improvement! Many fine lines are gone and I have an overall even skin tone. When I started I only used once a week, but over time increased to three times a week like my dermatologist asked me to try and do.

One of the best

Love this medical grade retinol. I use a couple times a week in my evening routine. One of the major keys to great skin.
