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.

Excellent intro to retinol
Years ago I used RetinA Micro and it caused me to peel (cannot remember the strength but it was low). Now that I've turned 40 I decided to get serious again about retinol use. I was familiar with the SM brand and picked the 0.25 strength to start with. After that bottle was done I started on the 0.5. I have not had any peeling, redness or irritation. I use it every night now followed by a good hydrating moisturizer afterwards. I don't have any lines so I cannot attest to the wrinkle reduction but I have definitely noticed a difference in my complexion. It looks brighter, smoother and more radiant. I highly recommend this product to someone who wants to start using retinoids. For reference I have normal to dry skin, medium skin tone. Although I don't have acne I can breakout from certain products.

Great first retinol
So far so good! Love the way this product shrinks my pores! Haven't experienced any dryness yet and helps to control oil.

Great Variety Of Strengths
I started with the .25 from SkinMedica & have seamlessly transitioned up to the .5 after completing use of the first bottle. Never once have I become red or dry, slow & steady has been the way to go. I love that SkinMedica offers several options so that I can ease my way in to retinol use! I love this product!

Wonderful retinol
I started using this during the winter and my skin has never looked better. It's only necessary 2-3 times a week So don't overdue it. Skin is refined and smooth.

So far so good
I like this. I was using a higher concentration retinol cream from my dermatologist but it dried my skin out too much. This seems to be much better!

Love this product
This retinol is strong enough to do the job but not so much that it is irritating. It is smooth and easy to apply. I do feel it makes a noticeable difference in my skin. It leaves it smoother. I do not want to be without this!

Another amazing SkinMedica product
I knew my skin could tolerate a retinol, so I decided to start with the 0.5 complex. I love this retinol. It doesn't irritate my skin and has significantly improved its texture. I use it daily on my forehead and around my mouth. I've noticed my fine lines starting to diminish. I will definitely move to the 1.0 complex when I'm finished with this bottle. Thanks, SkinMedica!

Love This Product!!!
I started out using this everyday, not a good idea! It dried out the skin under my eyes and was very uncomfortable. I slowed down and began using only 3 times a week and the results have been remarkable! I used MD Forte for years, and I was devastated when they stopped making it. This is the first product I've used since then that works for me. I'm 47 years old, and people usually guess me in my 30s. I believe you get what you pay for!

Amazing product
Great product, however must work up to it slowly. With patience you will see a great difference in skin. I start out mixing with moisturizer then using straight once my skin acclimates to it.
