Great for sensitive skin!
My dermatologist recommended Avene Retrinal+0.05 to help reduce the size of pores, reduce fine lines & to help with the occasional acne I experienced. She said that it was very mild & most people with sensitive skin, like I have, tolerated it very well. I am 57 with very sensitive skin & everything she told me is true! My pores were visibly smaller after the first use & the fine lines seem to be slowly disappearing. My skin definitely looks smoother. I use the product at night only. Because I have sensitive skin, my dermatologist started me out using it only twice per week for 2 weeks, then 3 times per week for 2 weeks, then every other day for 2 weeks, & then every night if my skin could tolerate it. I never once had a problem with redness or irritation and I now use the product every night. I am very happy with this product.

Wonderful Over-the-Counter Retinoid
This is an excellent starter retinoid for sensitive skin. It’s not as strong (or as irritating) as prescription Retin-A, but the retinaldehyde it contains is supposed to be more effective than the retinol that most similar over-the-counter products use. It’s fragrance free and doesn’t cause irritation. And it’s moisturizing enough that it completely replaces my night moisturizer, which is good since this is so expensive.
