The best retinol
I have sensitive skin and started with the .25 then recently progressed to the .5. Doesn't irritate my skin and my overall complexion has improved

Very good!!
Great product at a great price. It does not irritate my skin as past products have done. This one is effective without being too drying.

does not dry out or irritate
This is a great OTC retinol. I use prescription tretinoin but sometimes I feel that it dilates my pores, so I take a break from it every now and then. When I do, I use this and my skin looks great in the morning!

Good so far
I've only used this for a few nights (every other night) and so far, so good. The consistency is smooth and I wake up looking refreshed-not dried out-since this is a 0.5 formulation.

Liquid GOLD
I bought the Retinol .25 and got this as a sample. I'm almost out of the .25 and have been using the .5 every other night. Can't wait to buy this in full size!

Love this product!
Hands down, SkinMedica makes the best Retinol Cream on the market. It helps with breakouts and wrinkles too! I love the way it feels on my skin and definitely notice a difference after a few weeks.

The best retinol for sensitive skin!
I tried drunk elephant but it was too strong for me so I ended up getting this product instead and it does not make my skin flake like the drunkelephant did. Much more gentle on the skin. I can use it every night and I've noticed that my skin looks more even and smoother than it ever has

Goodbye hyperpigmentation!
I recently introduced this retinol to my nightly regime and am kicking myself for not doing this much earlier! I noticed it most significantly when I had a couple of breakouts and the hyperpigmentation after the breakout healed much quicker. I tend to have annoying hyperpigmentation after breakouts, but the time I had it was significantly reduced while using this product. My skin also looks so healthy! Definitely recommend it.

Caused combo skin to break out after 1 use
I look forward to trying this product a few more times, but am pretty sure it caused me to break out last night. I was using another brand Retinol Renewal product for the past week with no problems. Will update this review after I have tried it a little longer. This might work fine for other types of skin.

Good Product
I just recently started using this product and it did leave my face a little dry and irritated, but I am new to using retinol products. I am hoping this will subside soon.
