Great product but very drying to skin.

Had a reaction
I love all Avene products, but I reacted to this one. It broke me out after 1 use. Stopped right away. All other products have been fine.

Great Product
This is a non-irritating, smooth, lightweight cream. I give it four rather than five starts because it has dye in it. The red colorant is known to flare acne in some people and it's totally unnecessary.

It’s okay
It’s the first retinol lotion I have tried. I’ve been using it for over a year and I can tell that it doesn’t cause any irritation, it does have a pleasant scent, it does help my skin to feel comfortable. I didn’t help me with crow’s feet issue that a bit disappointing.

Good for sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin and this product has caused no irritation. That is a huge plus. I’ve only been using it for one month so I cannot yet see any difference in my skin. When this bottle is empty I will try the higher strength.

Great Gentle Retinoid!
I have extremely sensitive skin, and I've been terrified to start a retinoid for the longest time. After a lot of research, I decided that Avene's RetrinAL line would be the best bet... they've done clinical studies to prove its effectiveness, and in a market with a ton of very unstable or poorly formulated retinoids, experts and doctors trust Avene's RetrinAL! Most importantly, I literally had ZERO irritation with this product. I even also use AHAs and Vitamin C, though not in the same routine as the retinoid. I definitely see a small difference in skin texture and clarity, though it will take at least 6 months to see any more dramatic results (that's just how retinoids, especially over the counter ones, work). The ONLY downside is I do think it's a little overpriced. I'm very much willing to pay it since it's so great, but I can't lie that if another well formulated similar product came out that was more affordable, I would definitely switch. But, aside from the price, I love this!

Will reorder...
Haven't seen results yet but it's only been a month and I may just need the higher .1% strength. It has a nice feel and not drying at all. I am pleased with this brand and the eye retrinal is very good.

Avenue Retinal .01
This is an excellent product for my aging skin. It clears up breakouts,reduces my pores, and helps diminish my wrinkles. It doesnt irritate my skin and I can use it 5 nights in a row and then take a break from it for a few nights.I cant wait to try other Avenue products.
