Essential product BUT SHORT SHELF LIFE!
I can't live without this product. At 52, it is literally the ONLY thing that controls my breakouts. For effectiveness, I would give it 10 stars if I could. However, I have a serious issue with it and is the reason for taking away 2 stars: the active ingredients "goes bad" over time, so I have limited time to use it once I've opened the bottle. Which means I can't ration it out over 4-5 months in an attempt to save some money. After ordering 5 bottles of this over the past few years, here's my experience: when I first open the product, it is always a pale yellow color. This is when it's most effective - my skin dries out if I use it several days in a row, my zits disappear, my complexion gets glowy. Then one day I notice how the product is a bit darker yellow, and within 7-10 days, my skin is not so glowy, it doesn't react to the product at all, and breakouts come back. That's when I know it's time to order a new bottle even though I might still have plenty of product left. :( This is incredibly frustrating because I feel like for the $$, it should have a longer shelf life... better yet, sell smaller bottles with less product and a little cheaper. I have tried twice to contact Skin Medica to ask them about this and after 20 min on hold, I get annoyed and hang up. If it weren't for the miracle it works on my skin when I open a new bottle, I would never order this again out of principle. It's such a waste of money but at my age, I am sucking it up. If SM ever reads this: D*** YOU!

This is the 1.0!!
I have tried Retinols in the past with devastating results due to the "purging" process. I am on my second bottle of this, using it sparingly and every other night I have not experienced any of the harshness. My skin is clear and smooth.

It's Great
Great product. Believe that I can see a difference. I have combination skin that is prone to acne and this product helps on all levels.

Excellent Product
I've tried several Retinols, but this is the only one that has visibly improved my skin. Tone and texture are more even, and fine lines less noticeable. I won't try another Retinol again.

Best Retinol
I have tried many other retinol creams and this is by far the best. Non- irritating for my sensitive skin, a little goes a long way . Light in texture and no odd smell.

Great product
I've used some intro retinol serums for the past 3 months, so my skin is not completely new to retinol. I was a little hesitant at first to go with the 1.0 because I wasn't sure if that would be too big of a jump. But it turned out totally okay! I didn't feel any irritation or burning or peeling. The product goes on gently and seems to absorb well. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do this, but I did use more than the suggested 1 pump, because I just couldn't get that 1 pump to cover my entire face. Even with more than 1 pump, it still didn't irritate me, so I'm really happy with this and can see myself sustainability use it for a long time. No scent whatsoever, not sticky, great feeling overall.

A Little Goes a Long Way
I've never used a retinol product before, but was stirred to the SkinMedica brand, and this product, by my dermatologist. I'm in my 60's, never took care of my skin, olive complexion, and loved being outside all my life. Although it took me 6 months for my skin to get used to this product in concert with other products in this brand, I now am able to use it 2 times per week without the large-scale peeling and redness I experienced initially. I can definitely see positives results in my skin appearance while using this product.

Love this product
Strong treatment so make sure you build up tolerance first per the directions. I can see a difference in my skin texture after a week of using the product.

Skin Medica retinol 1.0
I have been using using Skin Medica retinol 1.0 for several years. I think it is a great product and use it every other night and I use a moisturizer over it which I suggest to anybody who has sensitive skin. I no longer peel since my esthetician suggested this.

Works great!
I worked my way up in potency. I started at .25 and then .50, No burning or flaky dry skin. My skin looks much more smooth.
