Definitely strong
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
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.

Too soon
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,

Works great!
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
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
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.
