Definitely strong

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really think this retinol will work well. Even though I'm only using it a couple times a week, I'm getting plenty of peeling on my face, so I've ordered the .5% of the same product to ease my skin into the 1%. It's been awhile since I've used retinol, so my skin just needs to get used to it. I know peeling is common (and even expected) when using a retinol, and that that means it's working, but I really don't love having flaky, peeling skin, so I'm going to work my way up to it. I'm keeping it because I have faith that it will work when my skin adjusts to the lower dosage.

Amazing retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

SkinMedica is the best line ever for hyperpigmentation. I have tried the retinol before and went to something else for a while so coming back to this one my skin took some getting used to it. So strong but so effective. I just follow with a moisturizer and use every other night.

I have finished my first bottle, and I can’t tell a difference in my skin just yet. It didnt irritate too badly however I did have some peeling. . No difference yet but I have to give it time

The Best Retinol on the Market

This Retinol really works. All the other Retinols did nothing for me.  I already notice that my skin has changed — smoother, brighter and a decrease in lines,

I love this product. I built up to the 1.0 retinol and have had no issues and I use it daily. My skin looks great and fine lines have decreased on depth.

Staple in my Skincare Routine

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

SkinMedica retinol has improved the texture of my skin and has evened my skin tone. It does dry out areas of my skin at times, but all I need to do is use extra moisturizer, and it quickly goes away. I use it on my face, chest, and a tiny bit on my neck. I have a lot of sun damage on my chest, and it has improved the texture and has lightened the dark spots caused by the sun damage.

Best Retinol on The Market

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 for years and it has diminished dark spots, improved elasticity and maintained a smooth skin texture. This product really does slow down the aging process and only a small amount is needed due to its powerful content of retinol. I use it on my face and also on the back of my hands to treat age spots. I highly recommend this product for preventative measures and for the ultimate care in maintaining healthy  skin.
