I think I like this?
I think I like this? Don't know that it's changed my skin in a life-changing way, but it's been a good change of pace from other brands I've been trying.

The best
This is probably the nicest retinol you can get on the market. Makes your skin feel nice without drying it and is strong. Works really well, I like it better than prescription retinol.

Wonderful skin treatment
Another recommendation by my derm. This treatment doesn't irritate my skin (I built up from 0.5 formulation).

Made my skin flaky
This product made my skin super flaky, even when limiting to 1 time per week. Previously had used Skinceuticals 0.3 and 0.5, so I was expecting good tolerance. I had to stop using it.

this is gentle on my skin while providing the retinol I need

Wonderful!
Not overly drying due to it being a retinol complex. Doesn’t irritate areas that are prone to redness.

Solid product
High strength retinol. I have high skin tolerance to retinol so I have no skin reaction to this product. Definitely firm up & clears up skin. Though it does not have a wow factor in am like the glow I wake up with after using Sunday Riley high dose retinol. I trust skin medical products to be top of the line effective.

Works on my neck
I had to go back up to 1.0 because my neck has gotten so bad. I think this is helping the ugly sagging that has happened as much as it can be helped without surgery.

Best of the best
This is the best retinol off the counter compared to the prescribed retinol from my dermatologist. I've been ordering this retinol on repeat for the past 3 years, and will be be part of my every night skincare routine.
