Two thumbs up

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used to use glycolic acid to exfoliate my skin, and it did work well, but this product is even better. I don't have to use it as often and it just seems more effective.

Retinol

I agree with other users. A little amount goes a long way. Let your skin dry completely after washing before applying. Find a good moisturizer and SPF. It’s one of the best on the market.

Good

Good quality product and does his job. Isn’t too harsh when used a few nights a week in combination with other products.

Gentle Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Recently upgraded from Skinceuticals .3 to this, and am using it every night for about.a week. It's been a gentle enough so far that I've had no redness or flaking. I can't say that would be the case if your skin was not used to a lower dosage, but it's been nice to not go through an initial drying period in the first week. Skin looks fresher since upgrading as well, but am noticing some purging.

Enhances skin tone

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this for about 10 years . My dermatologist recommended it . It is a must for your skin care routine . It evens out tone and texture. If you are new to retinol start with the .25 and work your way up . I tried 1.0 my skin peeled a lot and got red so for me the .5 is perfect

Great Retinol

I’ve used this retinol for about 7 years now. I only use it every other day because I have sensitive skin.  It’s kept me feeling young.

Revisiting a favorite

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

After having microneedling done, my skin was entirely too sensitive to go back to 1% Tret. I forgot how much I loved this product - gentle but so effective!

Loving it so far

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I bought my first SkinMedica retinol in the 0.25 back in December, tolerated it well, and decided to move up to the 0.5 for the next bottle.  The 0.25 bottle lasted me nearly 3 months, so I'm hoping the 0.5 lasts just as long!  I personally have not experienced any irritation from either bottle! My skin is on the drier side and is fairly sensitive/somewhat acne-prone, and my skin seems to love this retinol.  I already am noticing much quicker skin turnover and feel like it has helped reduce scarring noticeably already within the first week of use.  Wish it weren't as pricey but still very happy!
