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!

LOVE

It took my skin the 2 weeks or so to get used to the retinol, but I feel like I have results after a few months! Getting compliments on my skin like never before!

Retinol

I recently upped to this product from the .25 version. It is definitely drying but works well when paired with a thicker moisturizer.

Unsure

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I started with the .25 retinol and I thought it worked great to smooth and brighten and once that finished bought this next level. Now I haven't really seen any continued improvements with this one. I have newer sun spots that aren't lightening and my skin doesn't seem as smooth. I have changed other products like my moisturizer and serums but all this gives me pause as to which products are the real powerhouses.

Burned my skin

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve been using retinol for 10 years every day in the night. I decided to try this brand and it burned my skin. I had to got a post procedure skin serum to heal my burn skin. I can’t tolerate not even sunscreen or moisturizer on my skin right now.

my holy grail for retinols

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have tried many retinol serums in search for one that is medical grade but not too punishing for the dryness, itching and flakiness that come with it~ and I always go back to SkinMedica retinol skin complex. I look 20 yrs younger as what people say to me, thanks to this, my beauty secret.

Great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have to use this every night! Because of age, I had to go down from 1.0 Retinol to ..5. It works so well for me to keep my skin from discoloration and fine lines!
