Great for beginners to Retinol
I am 29 with very sensitive, acne-prone skin and wanted to try a retinol in my regime. You definitely have to work your way up to using it regularly, so dont be discouraged if you have irritation and dryness at initial use. I have been using this for the last 6 months. I only use it sparingly, about 3-4 times a week at night. It has really helped the overall texture of my skin and I have had far fewer breakouts. It has helped improve my acne scarring and discolorations/pigmentation.

My first OTC retinol
Love this cream! used the tube as my first OTC retinol and worked up to the Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0 afterwards. Absolutely love!

Great treatment
Im in my early forties, and have been debating about adding in a retinol/retinoid product for the anti-aging properties. Years ago I used Retin-A and Renova, but didnt particularly want to get another prescription due to the cost/hassle. I thought over the counter retinols were probably too wimpy to make a difference. Wrong. I have been using this about a month, starting with twice weekly, then moving to every other day. My skin is plumper, smoother, and best of all, my milia (those annoying white bumps that take up permanent residence on my face) are starting to disappear. My skin isnt overly dry and I feel like Im doing something to reduce future wrinkle formation.

Fabulous Product
I use the 1.0 on face, upper lip and under chin and the .5 on the delicate area under my eyes. No more under eye wrinkles or bags. The only product that works for me. I'm delighted at the transformation.

Non irritating
I got this product as my prescription strength retinol was irritating my skin, so decided to give this a try. I started with using it once every two days then worked it up from there to every other day and will bring it to every day. I havent reached there yet. It is working out fine so far. Do use the skinceuticals hydrating B5 masque two times a week with it and that helps. So far happy with the product. Have not used it for that long so am giving it 4 stars.

Quality product in a difficult package!
I love this product. It is gentle but effective. However, I find it difficult to get the product out. I was told to "prime" the air pump, which I did exactly as I was told. It helped, but it still takes about 25 pumps to get out the recommended pea size portion of the product. Would give it 5 stars if they could fix that little problem!

good
Great product for a retinol. It can be drying, so use sparingly. I use about three times a week (at night) and have seen great results. It also works to keep skin clear of breakouts (smoother texture and less imperfections). I am hoping to try the higher strength soon.

So far so good
I am 24 years old, and all my life I have had acne, but as I got older it has cleard up except for on my chin. Ive done the dermatologist thing, but the products that I have been given have done nothing besides dry out my skin. I heard retinol was good for clearing up problem skin, so I decided to give this a try. It took a few months, for me to see any differences and for my face to adjust to this product, but I love it now. I rarely get any breakouts on my chin (before I would have 3-4 monster sized cyst like zits on my chin at all times. I also feel like this product has helped to reduce some scaring I had and pore size. I gave this a 4 because it did dry my skin out, I now only use it 4-5 times a week rather then every day and my skin is clear and has plenty of moisture. I hope this is helpful!!
