A Must Have

Over the past year I've been working myself up to the 1.0 strength from the .25 and .50. My skin did take a bit longer to get use to this one, I'm still experiencing the flaking and dryness 2 months into use but it has done it's job at keeping my skin clear. This is a product that I cannot live without.

Strong but effective!

This retinol is strong! If I dont mix it with another moisturizer my skin tends to peel, however it is super effective!

Strong product

I used to much of this cream at first. My skin was red and peeling like crazy. I waited a couple weeks and watched some videos on how to apply now it's working great thanks

Trying something new

I bought this retinol to switch it up a little from the Avene retinol. It seems a little stronger than the Avene, even though they both are 0.1% I like it so far, but I won't recommend applying to the neck. I use the Avene and its fine, but his one made my neck super dry and red.

Strong retinol

This product works great. I had to work up to using it a few times a week, but I wanted a strong retinol and it definitely is. I feel like my skin looks so much better after using it for a month.

Great Product but Use with Caution on Sensitive Skin

I purchased this product thinking that it would be like other retinol products that I've used in the past. No way! This product delivers. It's very potent, so it's important to be very careful with it. I have sensitive skin and can only use one time per week. I made the mistake of using 2 pumps of product one evening and burnt my skin for over a week. It was very red and peeled something terrible. The directions say 1 pump for a reason. I'm giving it 5 starts because it's a great product. Just be aware that it does what it says and it should be used according to directions.

Even with sporadic use, this is effective in reducing my sun spots

This was recommended by my dermatologist for sun spots on my face. I have sensitive skin and when I first started to use this, my skin peeled and had increased sensitivity, so I was not consistent in my use. I have one very prominent sun spot that is definitely lighter even after minimal use of this product. I have found that using a heavier nightly moisturizing cream after using this helps decrease the peeling. I am starting to use more frequently, so am excited to see the results. I will continue to use this product, as it is definitely effective!

Amazingly Potent

I had been using another 1% retinol product before starting this one, so I was shocked at all the peeling I have experienced with this product. It is so potent! I love the texture. I have only been using it a couple months so can't speak to collagen production just yet, but it very quickly made my skin fresher, clearer and smoother, and my pores smaller. Healing from the occasional spot is rapid with this stuff. I'm still experiencing a bit of peeling, actually, and I even use this on top of a moisturizer. It's possible the effects are intensified because I use Biologique Recherche P50 1970 as well (just once a day), but I also suspect it might be due to the other goodies in this complex that boost the retinol's effects. In any case, I love this retinol and doubt whether I will need to transition to tretinoin at all within the next decade, or ever. This product seems powerful enough for me. It is quite amazing. Get it! Now!

Too harsh for sensitive skin

Ive used SkinMedica Retinol for 3 years now and I love the brand and their retinol formulations. Started with the 0.25 formula and then moved to 0.5. Once i felt my skin could handle the 0.5 i thought of using the 1.0 but it was way too strong for my skin. Their product is great but i would not recommend for sensitive skin as it can cause burning. Anyone looking to try this product, i would start with the 0.25 and move up to see what your skin can handle. I am sticking to the 0.5 and am happy with the results. Its definitely a quality retinol and if your skin can handle it i am sure you will notice clearer skin and less lines.
