The best I've tried!
I first purchased skinmedica retinol from my dermatologist. After 5 years, I'm still using it. I've tried other product lines but keep coming back to this.

Good, gentle product
I have used several brands of retinol and this one is both gentle and effective. It doesn't seem as strong as some others I've tried, but it definitely works.

Powerful retinol
I'm using this along with the skin Medica Lytera. I've had to figure out a system that works for my skin as I think I overdid it using them together. Skin was raw, burned and peeled. However, that said, my skin is glowing and I haven't had to wear make-up. I'm 44, and I have some sun damage and melasma so this is helping with that. I use these products in conjunction with my Elta sunscreen during the day. Under this I layer vitamin C serum And sometimes a Hylauronic acid. My skin is looking pretty good and I am even getting compliments.

Great formulation
I can't tolerate prescription retinoids and this works great. My dermatologist actually recommended it. I still had to work up to it since I have sensitive skin but it's worth the effort.

Didn't see much of a difference
The complex itself is fine. Absorbed nicely without making my face sticky. Been using it for a month now and have not really seen much of a difference in my age spots.

Not the retinol for me
I've used skinceuticals retinol for years but every now and then try a new brand because there are toxins in the brand I'd rather avoid. I've tried this before and forgot the it breaks me out. Strong enough for me...I prefer to see a light flaking, but alas... still searching for a strong, safe retinol that won't cause acne.

Expensive but worth it
This is pretty expensive but when I find it on sale I stock up because it's a really great product that I feel has made a big difference in the texture of my skin.

Effective product
I love products that I "feel" are working as I apply them. This SkinMedica Retinol Complex is one of them. I did start off with a reaction of peeling and skin irritation, and eased off the daily use to build up my skin's tolerance. The "induction" period lasted around 2 weeks, and now I use the product nightly (yet sparingly, i.e. not more than one pump) and have noticed improvements in skin texture and discoloration.
