Great for sensitive skin
Prescription strength retina caused neck irritation, so several months ago I decided to try Avene .05 retinol. It was well tolerated so I purchased the .1 strength. I love the airless pump and how the product glides on.

Fantastic Product
Avene RetrinAL 0.1 is the best. Less irritating than Retin A but works better than most over the counter Retinol products on the market. I noticed a difference in my skin right away. My skin is brighter, clearer and even-toned as well as more youthful looking.

Great for Sensitive skin
I have tried to use retinol products over the years, but I have found them to be too harsh for my sensitive skin. I have been using this one for 3 years or so, 3 times a week with no problem and I see improvement. I am frequently told that I have beautiful skin.

All the Benefits of Tretinoin Without the Irritation
I'm a 38-yr-old esthetician who's worked in skincare for years and have tried A LOT of products. This is a phenomenal product that I've re-purchased many times. It's a wonderful, gentler alternative to prescription tretinoin. It has kept wrinkles away. Also makes my skin even-toned (creamy) and glowing. It's fragrance-free. And best, you don't have all the redness-peeling-irritation that tretinoin causes. My only complaint is that I wish the formula were slightly more spreadable/thinner textured.

Nice product
Spent a little bit more on this, and glad I did. I have trouble with retinol products, and wanted to try this one since it is retinaldehyde, supposed to be more effective than retinol. I am finding I am tolerating this better, and my skin is less irritated using this. Too soon to judge about the anti aging effects, but would buy again to try it out long term.

High end product
This is the second time I purchased this Avene RetrinAL product. I have really sensitive skin, most products I put on my skin makes my face turn red or have some kind of reaction (bumpiness, breakout or burns). So I'm very limited to the products I use. I know I want to incorporate using a retinol product in my daily regime but my skin couldn't handle the prescription tretinoin, so I did some research and found using the retinaldehyde would be a great choice as opposed to using retinol esters. I feel like this product is worth spending some money on and I'm just very pleased with it.

Good product
This is my first Avene product purchase. I saw it recommended by a dermatologist as a product suitable for skin with rosacea - me! I’ve tried everything and while it’s mild it is easily irritated so I’m happy to have found a product that is compatible with my temperamental skin.

Wonderful Product
I have used this Avene RetrinAL 0.1 for several years. It is not drying to my skin at all. I find it eases fine line. My skin feels plumper after using it. I also use the companion product for the eyes.

No Complaints & Perfect for Me
I use this product in the evening as a primary layer. I haven't had any reactions to it being that I have mature skin at the age of 55. I tried other products similar to this, which all, in time, caused a reaction of bumps. This product does not! I will definitely keep this as part of my anti-aging regimen. I do notice a difference of smoothness and refreshed-looking skin.

Not drying
I have used Renova in the past, but very expensive. My dermatologist recommended this Retinol as a replacement. Great product and great price with noticeable results after 2 months.

Really Good
I use this on my neck, instead of prescription Retin A, which I find too irritating. My understanding is this is more efficacious than a retinol product. Solid product. Will continue to use.

Great sensitive skin product!!!
I have been looking for a retinol product that doesn't make my face so red and dry every time I use it which in turn makes me not use it. This is what my dermatologist recommended and it's awesome!!!

Couldn't live without this!
My sister-in-law recommended this product to me and I have combination skin. I tried both the eye cream and the face cream. I love them both and have seen remarkable results after using the product now for about 6 months. The fine lines have diminished and my skin looks noticeably better. I use it only once a day at night. I am a white, fair-skinned 49 year old who has kept out of the sun but I am clearly aging. I feel this has slowed down and somewhat reversed the aging process. Recently, someone asked me if I got Botox because I had no wrinkles (I have never tried Botox)!! I've never received a compliment like that before. I once went without using the product for a week and my skin started to show signs of adult acne (blackheads, bumps, etc) and then when I came back to the product my skin looked great again. I can't live without this now! Highly recommend.

Very good
I took a chance and tried this Avene RetrinAL 0.1 since it is in between 2 strengths of another retinaldehyde line I normally use. This product did not cause any bad reaction on my sensitive, mature skin. I use it in conjunction with Avene Tolerance cream, but it did make my skin's outer layer look more dehydrated than I had expected. I already have dry skin and have been using another companies line of retinaldehydes and serums for 7 months with success. This Avene formulation may be better for someone with combination skin, thicker skin or more conditioned skin than my own. I give it 5 stars because for being a stronger retinaldehyde product, it still is what I would consider very gentle, all things considered. If new to retinaldehydes, always start with the lower % and work up to the .1 over time.
