Great product to begin a retinol regimen
My skin tends to be sensitive, so I was skeptical about using a retinol product. However, knowing the importance of using retinol for anti-aging skin care, I needed to find something my skin could tolerate. I have been using the .25% retinol for three weeks and am following the recommendation to use the product twice a week until I feel my skin can tolerate it more frequently. I wait about 20 minutes after washing my face, and I use an oil-free moisturizer after applying the retinol. So far, I have not seen any redness or irritation on my skin and my skin is smoother (and my pores less noticeable). The product is fragrance-free, which is a plus. I would definitely recommend this product to others looking for a product to begin an anti-aging skincare regimen.

Thumbs Up!
This product has improved my skin tone. Feels great on your face and has not been drying or given me any redness which retinols tend to do.

Perfect for sensitive and dry skins
I stopped chemotherapy 8 months ago and my skin still has not recovered completely. I was unable to tolerate the full strength retinol I have been using in the past, and I was happy to find a 0.25 strength retinol. I spread some moisturizer over the retinol, and my skin does tingle a bit in the morning, but that is all.

Retinol Complex
I originally attempted to order SkinMedica Tri-Retinol Complex but found it was discontinued, and Retinol Complex was the suggested substitution. I have not yet tried it as I plan on using my older product first. However, Retinol Complex was recommended to me by a skin specialist for its anti-aging benefits. She did caution that there might be some initial "reactions" such as irritation or redness, but I am hopeful that will not be a serious issue. As I have been very pleased with the Tri-Retinol by SkinMedica, I am optimistic that the Retinol Complex will be just as satisfactory.
