Formulated for skin tolerant to retinol treatments, it stimulates collagen production and enhances faster cell renewal to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Algae extract ensures skin is soft, hydrated and protected against free-radical damage.
Key Ingredients:
- Retinol: smooths and refines skin's texture and enhances radiance

Apply a single pump to face in the evening. If you have never used a retinol product before, begin by limiting use to twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, and then advancing to each evening or as tolerated.

Love the retinol .5 product! Been using the .25 and just upped it to .5. Makes my skin feel so smooth and tight! Not too harsh tho! I use it every night and couldn't be happier!!!

Loving it so far!
I've only been using this product for a couple weeks now, but I am very pleased with it so far. I have very sensitive skin, so I have started out using it slowly (every couple of days). I feel my skin is a little dry getting adjusted to it, but otherwise I really do love it. I'm a first time retinol user and am glad I gave this one a try! I will certainly re-purchase down the line if I continue seeing favorable results as I am now. I absolutely love the entire Skinmedica line. As one final note, my mom who is almost twice my age has been using this and loves it too! **Update: After months of use I can still say I love this! It's gentle but super effective. Don't hesitate to get this!

Good investment
This was my first time using any retinol product. My skin had a quite a reaction to it on the first use but since then has gotten a lot better. My skin can tolerate it now so I'm moving up to the next higher strength. I'm glad I stuck it out with this retinol because I look like I have new skin! I can't stop starting at it in the mirror! If you don't have any skin conditions that prevent you from using retinol products in your regime I highly recommend that you try it, but start with the lowest strength first.

Great Retinol Product
I have heard wonders about retinol products. I myself am new to retinol (using for prevention) and I have to say I'm absolutely in love with this product. I do suggest following the directions for gradual use if you are new to using retinol products. My skin did become very dry the first couple of months using this. Minimized the usage to every third night and have worked my way up to every night. Overall great product and will repurchase! Maybe up it to the 1.0 instead of 0.5 if my skin can handle it!

Powerful & effective
I've been using this for about 2 months now, and I am loving the results. I had a bit of a rough start with it though, because I foolishly thought my skin was tough and I started off using it every night. As a result, I had sensitivity, redness, and peeling skin for the first month or so (but I powered through). If you've never used a retinol before, I definitely recommend using it as directed on the bottle until your skin gets used to it. Now that my skin can handle it, the results I'm seeing are fantastic.

.5 retinol skin medica
So it is my first time trying retinol and wanted to start with .5. I applied and then followed by a good moisturizer at night. Not sure what to expect but the next day in the morning my skin was just a little red. Cheeks and my nose just a little. So I will apply every 3 days to begin but I think it is working starting slowly and working my way up. I hear great things about retinol and I am using as prevention. I also have other skin medica products and love it.

Great way to start retinol
I went to the dermatologist and they told me to start at this level. I love that I was able to get this at discount and had mild irritation of redness and peeling but I used a physical exfoliant daily and cut out acids for now. I only do my acids on the weekend and this on the weekdays.

Great for face, hard on neck
I love this for my face, and can really see the difference it makes. My neck though is much more sensitive to it, and I find that if I overdo the application at all, my neck gets red, flaky, and itchy. I have to do a very thin layer only and then it's OK. Fabulous results on my face though!
