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.

Love this product

Great, gentle retinol (I started with .25 and moved up to this), makes my skin clear and glowing

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!

One of my must-haves

My first introduction to retinol was the .25 strength. It worked wonders in clearing my acne, but towards the end of the bottle a few months in, it seemed it wasn't as effective as my skin had built a tolerance to it. I bumped up to the .5 strength and I haven't had a breakout since. Great products, and worth every penny.

Must Have Retinol from SkinMedica

SkinMedica has great products. And their Age Defense Retinol Complex is fantastic. I'm so glad I purchased SkinMedica after days of research on ALL of Dermstore's retinol products, going through each of the top/recommended Retinol products from different beauty publications, looking up each product on various product review sites, and combing through the ingredients. I highly recommend this product and will purchase again (or SkinMedica's Age Defense Retinol Complex 1.0).

Another vote for a great intro to retinol

Jumped right in to retinol at this level and started slow, though still experienced some of the issues with dry skin as a result. Nothing major though and a moisturizer added after application helped with this. There's been improvement in skin texture already, though not used it long enough to really assess the impact on lines.
