Good intermediate retinol
Stepped up to the 0.5 after finishing a 0.25 bottle. Is stronger and I can tell the difference. Great retinol. No smell. Works.

Love this product!
My dermatologist used to sell this product which is how I started using it. She stopped carrying it so I stopped using it, but I recently realized how much I liked it. It helps to smooth my skin. I found it on here recently and so happy I did. I am having the same results again - smoother and softer skin on my face.

Great Retinol
I'm recently switched from 0.25 to 0.5 and am enjoying this retinol. While it's too soon to see results from this strength yet, I noticed an improvement in my skin using the 0.25 and so I anticipate seeing even more results from this one.

Love this retinol!!!
I love this product! Ive been using it for about 3 yrs now and its made my skin look amazing. Im 38 and people now always say I look young for my age. They think Im in my mid or late 20s. Obviously i use other products like vitamin c, good moisturizer and spf, but i give most of the credit to this retinol because it truly helps with not only fine lines but with my skin texture. My texture is much smoother and my skin has never been so soft and naturally glowy. Part of the reason i bought this retinol in the first place is because i read the ingredient list and it has a lot of really great additional ingredients besides the retinol. I do want to warn that if youre not retinol tolerant you should start with the .25 strength. Thats what i had to do in the beginning to acclimate to it. Its potent stuff if youre not used to using retinol! Anyway I highly recommend this product. Ill continue to buy from this brand and after i use up this bottle Im going to try the 1.0 strength. I should be able to tolerate it because I can use the .5 every night now with no flaking or redness. Btw i have fairly normal fair skin that is slightly on the dry and sensitive side.

Great retinol
Really enjoying this retinol. I've also used .5 from skinceuticals and currently trying to figure out which one I will repurchase. My skin is used to retinols, but I was still pleased to see no reaction or purging since transitioning to this product. I am noticing this one feels more gentle than the skinceuticals - have not noticed a burning sensation.

Love this retinol
I have pretty dry skin to begin with so adding retinol into my routine was a little scary. I started out with SkinMedica .25 and had no dryness issues so when I ran out I decided to up it to .5. There was very minimal dryness my first time using it which I know will go away as I continue to use! My dermatologist told me this is the ONE product I should be using at 29 so here I am! Love it.
