Only retinol that really truly works!
I've bounced around trying different retinols that are a little less expensive, but it truly wasn't worth it... Skin medica is the only brand I have tried that I truly noticed a BIG DIFFERENCE. I am back to my tried and tried and loving my skin!

Excellent Retinol Product
I love this product! I use it on my face as well as the back of my hands. I use on my face about every 3 days and hands daily. Truly keeps my skin looking younger and fresh.

Smoother skin
Immediately felt smoother skin! I didnt listen to other reviews used too often the first week, which resulted in my skin peeling. But it went away and my skin looks amazing! I'm loving it. But recommend using as directed.

Love this Retinol
I have been using this retinol for several years and love it! There is some slight peeling at first but your skin eventually will get used to it.

Definite Must!
I've been using SkinMedica's Age Defense Retinol Complex for a while now and have seen a dramatic decrease in the appearance of age spots. No, they're not completely gone, but so much less visible. The texture of my skin is finer and I've even seen a decrease in the size of the pores on my nose! It is definitely a must in my skin care regime.

Reasonable price and works well
I am 37 years old with semi-sensitive skin. I have jumped around on different Retinol night creams. They are either so strong I am still peeling during the day (gross), not strong enough, or leave a gross or bad smell on my face. SkinMedica is nicely textured, doesn't have a bad smell and any initial product scent goes away within a few minutes of application. It blends well with my other non-SkinMedica face products as well as other SkinMedica products (I use other SkinMedica products targeting dark spots bc I didn't wear a sun hat in my 20's like my mom told me to). I will have light peeling, but a face wash in the morning clears all the dead skin (I rotate an exfoliating wash, enzyme powder, and regular face wash during the week). I also find Allergan products generally go on sale more often and/ or earn bonus points where as say Skinceuticals never seems to be at a sale price you would really consider a "sale." I have recommended the product to girlfriends (different ages and skin types) and they have all switched over.

I love this product
I have been using this product for a year and it is really making a difference. I am in mid of 40 yr, and all my friends said my face is younger than my age. I apply it every night.

The best Retinol 1.0!
I've tried five or six of the Retinol 1.0 products available at the Dermstore. This SkinMedica Age Defense Retinol Complex is the one I keep coming back to, simply because it is the best. It is less irritating than competing brands, and it absorbs well, with no shiny, greasy "product film" left on my face. Using it faithfully, I've seen a visible softening of my wrinkles, as well as a subtle fading of my sunspots. Highly recommended!

A fantastic product
It is a strong Retinol and it changed my life. No more large pores ,no more breakouts. There has never been a product which has done this for me before. Not even an expensive chemical peel made any difference. This has and I love it. Just remember if you have sensitive skin you may peel , but it is not very visible and it gets better when your skin gets used to it.
