A great product :-)
I wanted to try a retinol-type product, and this got very good reviews. And now I know why! It's gentle enough to use every night, but I saw subtle improvements in less than a month :-) The scent is very mild, and the cream is rich enough that I didn't need to use a moisturizer afterwards. It caused no irritation or redness, either. I'll use up this bottle, but I've already purchased the Avene RetrinAl 0.1 to step up my routine (fingers are crossed that it's as good as the RetrinAl 0.05!).

Excellent for sensitive skin
I am very pleased with this product. I haven't had any luck with other retinol-type products in the past -- too strong for my sensitive skin -- but this one is both gentle and effective. I love that it is fragrance free too -- which matters a lot.

Great alternative to tret for rosacea skin
Decided to give up on Tretinoin as my skin is too sensitive. In just a couple weeks, I’ve noticed a decrease in redness and healthy skin. WRP

Seems perfect for my sensitive skin!
Have noticed a difference in texture and brightness since using. I use every night without any redness or irritation.

VERY GENTLE
I was hesitant to try retrinal in general but this one is amazing! So gentle on my skin. I live in a dry climate and I didn't peel or turn red. I used it every night and followed it with a very hydrating moisture. After I finish this bottle I want to try the 1.0. I noticed a difference within 2 weeks.

Fabulous!
I have been using a retinol of varying concentrations from another brand on and off for the past couple of years, but after doing more research I thought I would try a retinaldehyde. This Avene RetrinAL+ 0.05 is fantastic! I have been using a couple of times per week and am slowly increasing frequency, and have had no redness or irritation, but rather - glowing skin which feels and looks healthier, and even under eye fine lines appear softened already. Reordering for sure!

Nice gentle exfoliation
Good midstep retinol. Not as effective as my nightly prescription retinoid (of course), but a nice adjuvant to use during the day. Will buy again!

Gentle and effective
I switched to Avene's RetrinAL 0.05 just over a year ago (I had previously used another brand's retinol of the same strength for many years) and am very pleased with it. It goes on smoothly and does not irritate my sensitive skin.

Sensitive Skin
I have sensitive skin and have had to give away many different kinds of RetinA brands because they irritate my skin especially the neck area. Avene retinal is the first that I found that does not irritate my neck. It lasts a long time because I use one pump mixed in with my night moisturizer.

Great Product!
Really like this product, works very well on my skin. My skin type is normal and I have had no side effects. As with most retinol products, I only use at night.

Happy my neck can tolerate this product
After many years of irritation from attempting to use even a weak strength of tretinoin on my neck, I’m pleased to report I was able to build up to nightly use.

Avene RetrinAL
if you are looking for a product that glides on like a moisturizer and doesn’t cause irritation this is it. This is the first Avene product I have tried, and I have been very impressed. I have been using the 0.5, but I think I’m ready to move on to the next strength. This would be very good to try if you’ve never used a retinol product before or if you have sensitive skin. I have rosacea and didn’t have any problem using the Avene.

Gentle on skin!
Love this product! Most retinol products I have tried have irritated my skin, this product goes on easy and I see a light flaking of my skin without redness or burning in a few days after using. Will continue to buy.

Nice product
I've been using this every other day for two weeks and find that it is well tolerated by my sensitive skin. I was unable to use a stronger retinol product more than once weekly due to dryness and irritation. The Avene 0.5 has cause no irritation. My plan is to transition to daily use over time. Maybe I'll try the 1.0 strength when I finish this supply which will likely last months. Two pumps easily does my entire face.
