I’ve used this for years! It has decreased fine lines and cleared “age spots”.

The Best Retinal Complex

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

After facial cosmetic surgery, the best spa in Wisconsin, Quintessa, recommended using SkinMedica's Age Defense Retinol Complex, starting with lower strengths 0.25, then  0.5 and finally 1.0 strengths, to allow the skin to acclimate. A more youthful & healthy wrinkle-reduced appearance is substantial with daily use. You will love the results of this highest-quality SkinMedia product!

Potent!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This stuff is SUPER STRONG but I do have very sensitive skin. I def can't use it every day because my skin peels but I would if I could! I instantly see a difference in my skin. Its so supple after it's done doing it's thing. Lol. After a few months of trying to do it once a week or 2 weeks I notice the skin peeling recovers quicker. I have always had a problem with milia so this helped remove a lot of it and I will continue to use it! Highly recommended

Works great!

I've used other retinol products but always come back to this. I worked up to the 1.0 and have zero irritation with daily use. My skin is clear and I get compliments on it all the time.

Great retinol serum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

The 1.0 does tend to be strong so I do have other, less potent options if needed. Still this is my go-to and I use it most days. Great results and maintenance. Combine this with a vitamin c and you are good to go. I do use lytera a few days a week also

Great product

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is the first retinol I've ever used, and it showed me just what I'd been missing. It is a great product, however, I have found the Sunday Riley retinol to work better on my sensitive skin.

Best retinol i've tried

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

My husband and I have been using this product for about 6 weeks. His comment was "this stuff is miraculous". Does a great job without irritating our skin.

Love skinmedica

Really have to ease into this one.  Be careful on the neck and near eye lids.  Very potent and very effective exfoliator
