works for me
I love SkinMedica and use a lot of their products. Their Retinol 1% however was too strong for me. My skin became irritated and it burned even when only used 3 X a week, so I gave it to my husband and he does great with it and I switched to the 0.5%. Now I use the 0.5% 3X a week and my skin seems very happy, smooth and clear. Start slowly, maybe 2X a week until you know if your skin will react, then you can up it.

Confident it works, but need to pace yourself
I bought this retinol wanting to add it to my skin care regimen. I knew I needed to ease myself into using retinol, but because I had used drugstore retinol creams before, I thought I would be ok with the .5 concentrate. It's strong, and my skin was not prepared! I started with just twice a week and after the second application, a day or two later my skin got blotchy, red, inflamed, and began to peel. It was sensitive to anything I put on my skin so I took a break and let things calm down. I didn't even apply makeup during that time because it burned. When my skin calmed down, I started up again. Went for twice a week and spread the applications out a day longer. Again, after the second application I had the same experience. I'm confident the product will work - but I need to start with the lower concentrate and work my way up, and suggest other new users to do!

Retinol complex
This is a great product. Took me a while to build up to every night. My skin is clearer and I have less wrinkles. It’s easy to use. My dermatologist recommended it. I found it cheaper at Lovely Skin

Really nice retinol.
I purchased this because it is dimethicone-free and was a nice mid-level retinol. It doesn't disappoint. It goes on smoothly and I had no peeling at this level. Left my face smooth and supple. I can use it every night now with no irritation.

Skin renewal
Ever since I started using this product which has been about a year now, I’m constantly getting compliments on my skin. I’m 59 years old, people are shocked when I tell them my actual age. Totally worth the investment

Too strong for me
This product has great ingredients but it was too strong for me. I've used retinol before and in higher percentages without issues but this product irritated my skin. I do have sensitive skin but I was surprised at how badly my skin reacted.

I have been using this product for 5 years... the first 2 years I used the .025 strength and have increased to 0.5. It has helped to diminish facial lines. I have sensitive skin but this product does not redden my skin or cause my skin to feel irritated. I’m very satisfied with the SkinMedica line of products.

Rejuvenation!
I have used this product for the last 18 months. Always receive compliments on my skin. And I'm 69. Complete strangers want to know what I use. My skin is healthy and smooth. Use the Skin Medica sunblock and Rejuvenate Moisturizer too.

Gentle enough to use overnight
I usually get the retinol couples 1.0 but found I could only use 1 time a week. With the lower dose I use a few times a week. Mainly to lessen the appears of my enlarged pours above my lip area. My skin care go to is SkinMedica. I found that their product gives me the best results

Strong
I love Skinmedica products. I had used the .25 retinol and decided to try the .50 retinol. It absorbs well and does not feel greasy. I have sensitive, acne prone skin. About two days after application my face began peeling. I know that is what it's meant to do. It last a few days. So for now I am only using g this retinol once a week. Maybe I will eventually work my way up to the recommend usage.

Great Retinol Formula
I went with the .5 vs 1.0 dose as my skin is somewhat sensitive. So far, so good. I am seeing the results from consistent use.

No irritation
I really like this retinol. I started with 0.25 and soon started 0.5 and have not been disappointed, no irritation and no peeling. I don't think I will ever use another retinol, love this one!
