This is the only retinol that I can use that does not aggravate by super sensitive skin. I started off with the .50 and slowly worked by way up to the 1.0. I cannot use it every day (at least not yet) or my skin will get irritated.

The BEST Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

SkinMedica is the holy grail of retinol for me. I started with .25% and worked my way up to this 1% over a couple of years with little to no irritation. The packaging is very nice and the bottles last so long, the product is well worth the price.

Best retinol product I ever used

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

SkinMedica Retinol Complex was the first retinol product I ever used, starting about 10 years ago. I was amazed by the results - my fine lines disappeared, dark spots disappeared, skin texture was smoother. For some reason, I stopped using retinol after 3 years, then used a variety of other brands without much effect. I recently read an outstanding review of SkinMedica retinol and knew I needed to go back to my favorite! It deserves 10 stars. The benefits are already showing on my skin after only a few weeks.

Game Changer

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this product! It's truly made such a big difference in my skin. I started off with the 0.5 and recently upped it to 1.0. The first couple of weeks, I experienced redness, sensitively and dryness which are all normal, but after your skin is done purging the results are amazing. My skin feels more plump, fine lines are less visible and it gives me the "glass skin" effect. So glad my friend introduced me to this product. You absolutely need this in your skincare routine.

Great Product!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have never used a Retinol product before. I'm turning 60 next month and I thought, "better late than never"! I purchased the Skin Medica Age Defense Retinol 1.0 a little over a month ago. Already people are telling me I'm glowing. I noticed a difference with my skin in 2 weeks. Highly recommend!

Very gentle but effective retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I switched to Skin Medica Retinol about 6 months ago after a horrible experience with Obaggi. Skin Medica is a lot gentler in the skin and does not irritate. I use it every couple of days in conjunction with Good Genes and my skin feels amazing in the morning. I am also using TNS serum and Rejuvenating moisturizer both from Skin Medica and my skin has never felt this great. Skin Medica is probably the best brand I have ever used. Its products are all amazing.

A good one!

A little goes a long way & my skin feels a bit firmer, smoother. One of my two favorite retinols.

excellent retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used to purchase this excellent retinol product at my dermatologist but because I am able to purchase on line and for less cost I prefer to buy from Dermstore. This is a great retinol with minor flaking if any at all. I really note a difference in radiance and clarity of my skin's appearance if I do not use this product.

Strong and Effective

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I had very little peeling and/or redness that I usually do have with other strong retinols, I think the added ingredients in the formula help with that. If your skin is used to retinol then I would recommend this to you.
