Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 Refining + Anti-Aging Night Cream
The real deal in a good starter concentration
I’m so glad SkinCeuticals has this 0.3 level, I’d previously tried the 0.5 level but couldn’t get through the retinalization process. This stuff is definitely doing it’s thing (I have so much flaking going on right now!), but it’s not so harsh on my skin that I haven’t been able to consistently increase my frequency. I did once a week for one week, twice a week for 1 week, every other day for 1 week and am now working on 2 days on/1 day off.

Miracle in a Tube
I am not exaggerating when I say this. Just off the first application- My skin literally tightened and brightened. I went make up free, comfortably. I can't even begin to imagine- its capabilities in the long term. I struggle w/ dark circles, and smile lines. I'm hopeful that within 30 days I will really see a huge improvement. In addition, I have very sensitive skin-haven't had a problem ( Keeping Fingers crossed) and it's non-drying: I apply it with my moisturizer. Great Product!! Wish I would have learned about it earlier!!

So far so good
I was looking for a lower concentration retinol product and this no-nonsense formula is doing the job. No irritation yet visible results.

Yes!!!
This is great for people with sensitive skin. I tried to bump up to the 0.5, but had a reaction. This is a good middle ground. I will continue to but this after seeing result in my chest and forehead wrinkle!

Great for super sensitive skin
My skin is super sensitive to retinol, leaving my skin dry, itchy and irritated, but this 0.3 strength is perfect for nightly use!

Great!
I needed to add a retinol to my routine and I love that I started with a gentle low dose one. I am planning on upping it to the 0.5 when this tube is finished. I don't use this every day. I use it every 3 days.

Great Nighttime Treatment
I made the big mistake of starting out with the 1.0 retinal night cream which was way to harsh on my skin. I had been using a retinoids serum. I contacted LovelySkin and they were wonderful...took back my 1.0 and sent me the 0.3 cream. Huge difference now after quite a few weeks. I’m only using it twice a week, but will up it to 3 when I feel more comfortable. This cream is a big game changer for my skin and I love it.

Great and Gentle
I was previously using the .5 retinol and took a break. When I decided to get back in, I went with the .3 just to be safe. Slowly but surely, this is producing beautiful and soft skin. I am on my second tube. I wake up every morning more smooth! And have eliminated another product I was using at night for acne. If you’re looking for a gentle retinol that can be used nightly, give this one a shot. Worth it!

1st time user
As a first time retinol user, this has been a great addition to my skin care routine. Right now I am only using three times a week without irritation. Very happy with this retinol and will repurchase.

No Complaints
I didn't get any excessive dryness or skin peeling when I used it. I plan to go up to the next strength when this one is done.

Really Nice Retinol
I have tried stronger levels of Retinol (also different brands) and they always made my skin too dry. My face always peeled and felt uncomfortable. Now using this SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 Refining Night Cream, I can use it every night without any discomfort or peeling. I love the way it makes my skin feel.

Smooth Skin
This is a miracle worker for fine lines but my skin is extremely sensitive so I am only able to use it about once a week.

Perfect strength retinol
I have trouble acclimating to the stronger retinol but this strength is just right. Definitely felt my skin looks clearer & firmer but without the peeling/redness I get with the stronger formulations.

Gentle but effective
I’ve been using this product for the past few months. I have very sensitive, rosacea-prone, slightly oily skin. I eased into it, starting with once a week for a couple weeks, then twice a week for a few weeks and now I use every other night. I haven’t had any of the issues you hear about with retinol. My skin texture is smoother and more supple. It is much softer and some firmer. I feel like results will continue to improve. I will soon try to use nightly and when finished will decide if I should move to next higher concentration. Very satisfied.

Must Have Item
Retinol is so important for your skin regimen. It helps cell turnover, & for me helps with over active glands. I started out with .3 & slowly working up to the 1.0. Love skinceuticals!

O YES !!
This is a FANTASTIC retinol for anyone struggling to try to incorporate an anti-aging product into their regimen due to being too sensitive! I ruined my peaches and cream complexion by being too aggressive over the years with higher strength tretinoin and then retinols among other acids. All were too irritating. Slower, and more gentle is the BEST course !! Just remember, constant inflammation is destructive, be gentle to your skin :) . This may seem like common sense but I feel many of us get caught up in the quest for skin perfection, I certainly did. I wish I would have only used this .3 retinol to start. Going forward I will not personally use anything that keeps my skin red or even pink past initial application. I can use this nightly after waiting for my moisturized skin to dry. No redness , or peeling or sensitivity. I can tell the .3% is working because my clarity is coming back, spots lightening and overall texture is starting to smooth. There is no scent, no color and spreads nicely. I definitely recommend this!!

10/10 Recommend this to Resurface your Skin
This retinol has helped resurface my skin, I can tell my collagen is building up faster than ever. My skin is bright, soft & glowy after using this for several months. I have worked my way up to using this daily & will purchase the 0.5 soon!

A Product Success
I have only been using this product for a couple of weeks but am pleased with the results so far! It has begun fading some dark spots which have been challenging to get rid of - even with laser treatment. I also find that my skin has a nice glow to it. I would advise to slowly build up to nightly use. Although mild, it still can cause irritation if you rush things along (which I did at first). As I'm finishing up this first tube of product, I will have to decide whether to go with a stronger concentration or stay with 0.3.
