Algae extract ensures skin is soft, hydrated and protected against free-radical damage.
Key Ingredients:
- Retinol: smooths and refines skin's texture and enhances radiance
- PhytoShield™ Complex: an antioxidant complex, enhances skin texture and minimizes irritation
Key Benefits:
- Enhances skin tone, texture, and resiliency
- Diminishes appearance of fine lines and coarse wrinkles
- Appropriate for all skin types pre-conditioned by using Retinol Complex 0.25 or another retinoid product
Apply a single pump to face in the evening. If you have never used a retinol product before, begin by limiting use to twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, and then advancing to each evening or as tolerated.

THE BEST, Really liking it so far
I started using this cream, first 1 time per week, then 2 times, then 3, and now I use it every other day. I alternate it with Glycolix Elite Facial Cream. I am very pleased with the result !! My skin has never been so clean and smooth. Small wrinkles on the forehead and near the lips have smoothed out. How will this cream end I will buy the same, but with retinol 1%. My skin is already aged, I am 51 years old and I am very pleased with this cream and the result that it gives.

Deceptively strong
I went through a whole bottle of Skinmedica's Retinol 0.25 without issue and thought I was ready for the 0.5. This one is deceptively strong. I had to back off to once a week, but at least I can tell it's working.

Excellent quality
So far I am thrilled with the quality and amount you receive. It doesn't smell funny and goes on to the skin really easily.

Gentle product
This was my first retinol product and I used it for several weeks already. It made me break out which is expected since it drives all the impurities to the surface of the skin. It only lasts for the first 2 weeks. After the that the skin is left looking smoother and younger. I would recommend this product for the beginners. And later you can switch to more concentrated ones.

Very drying
I'm just not sold on skinmedica in general.. my medspa pushes their products and I feel as though they are just much too harsh for my skin. I much prefer Luzern everything over Skinmedica anything.

Really helped with acne and scarring
Love this product for my acne prone skin. Has helped dramatically with scars. It did cause some breakouts the first 2 weeks- it almost seemed like it was pulling out all the bad stuff.. even blackheads!

Great retinol
Recommended by my dermatologist. I started with .25 mixed with elta md night cream and now went up to the 0.5 mixed with the elta night cream. It's great. My skin tone is much more even, and dark Spots are lightening

Gentle and Effective!!
I love this retinol product!! I had previously tried prescription retinoids which were too much for my sensitive skin, even after months of consistent use, I wasn't seeing the results I wanted and my skin was extremely sensitive. I switched to this product and it was wonderful! My skin is brighter and I haven't had any type of reactions. Will definitely be repurchasing once I run out.

a must have in my nightly routine!
This is absolutely one of my favorite products. The .5% is the perfect balance of getting the retinol treatment my skin needs without being too harsh. It's the first step in my nightly line-up of products, and it has helped fine lines and wrinkles. I put it all over my face, avoiding the eye area, and onto my neck too!
