Great but be careful!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used this product and was careful about not using it frequently but I did use it 3 times in one week. Suddenly, my check bones, right under my eyes were bright red and itchy. The Good News however, my skin after 4 days of redness looks fantastic! I'll use it much sparingly in the future. 2 times a week and I'll also be very careful not to get it near the soft skin above the check bones! Wash your hands after you use it so the residue will not end up with the eye cream which I think is what happened.

I love Skinmedica!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is wonderful, my skin looks and feels so good! I'm 41, and I regularly have people tell me they thought I was 30! I attribute that to these wonderful products :) I use TNS Essential Serum, Lytera, HA5 and this Retinol, as well as the tinted sunscreen.

Skinmedica Retinol Complex 1.0 makes my skin rejuvenated. It reduces age spots and makes my skin look smooth. The investment is worth the return in your skin!

Easy application/strong retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Great product so far. But start with once a week or your skin wil be red, irritated, and flaky. Remember to moisturize!

Warning - potent!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have used Age Defense Retinol .50 and thought that I was ready to up my game to the 1.0. I have had extreme stinging and peeling with this product that lasts for 5-7 days. I tried moisturizing before and then afterwards, but results have been the same. I woke up after the last time I used this with what looked like a chemical burn on my forehead. I wanted to love this, but will obviously stop using. My plan is to go back to the .50 and maybe use the rest of this product on a less sensitive area on my body. It would hurt too much to throw out this very expensive treatment! I am giving this 3 stars because I think that it may be more my own individual response as opposed to a bad product.

I have used retinolas in the past. I'm hoping this one won't be as drying.

Amazing product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Very gentle, but does it's job. I love to use this at night and wake up seeing a clear more youthful looking complexion. I've had none of the dry or flaking skin which usually accompanies retinol use. I highly recommend.

Prefer this delivery system

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

If you are new to using retinol, be sure to work up to this strength. Skin Medical offers a .25 and .5 strength. When your skin can tolerate the 1.0, try this. I have been very happy with several of the Skin Medica products and I'm happy to recommend this product. I was using another high-end brand, but they use a metal tube similar to toothpaste. I prefer this pump system instead.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCT!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using SkinMedica 1.0 Retinol for two years now. I use it every other night and the results are amazing. My shin is smoother and firmer and my dark spots are lighter.
