Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 Refining + Anti-Aging Night Cream
SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 Cream
Being 69 years old with very dry skin, fine lines, and wrinkles, I spoke with a consultant at Lovely Skin and asked what retinol product to use. She suggested the SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 cream at this time. I do use it about 3 times per week but since I live in upstate New York, I sometimes skip a week as my skin is very dry. I do like that I had some peeling on my face so I know the product is working. I would purchase this again as I liked the results.

Best Retinal Ever Used!
I am a huge fan of SkinCeuticals but this retinol is by far the best. I had been using the .3 and up'd my game to the .5 and I am so glad I did. My skin is definitely showing the difference...and it's in a good way!

Retinol .05 is Great!
I started retinol a few months ago, and slowly worked myself up to 0.5. Right now I am doing it 3 times a week. I am slowly seeing a little change especially with lightly my dark spots. Slow and steady.

Very Strong!
I think the quality of this product is great. However, beware that it is VERY strong. I have used retinol .5 in other brands with no issues. However, this one caused constant peeling (even after diluting with moisturizer, using sunscreen and applying less frequently). If you are new to the Skincueticals brand I would recommend starting with the .3 even if you are used to higher retinol percentages.

Wonderful retinol for older skin
I used to use a retinol product when I was younger and it really helped keep the wrinkles at bay. However, I knew this stronger product would play havoc with my aging thinning skin. I am almost eighty but my skin is still in very good shape as I religiously used good products to maintain it. I wanted a more gentler retinol to keep my skin in the best shape and I found it. I use the SkinCeuticals .05 only about twice a week and sometimes even skip a week. It works without drying my skin. I don't expect a miracle but this is close!

Good way to start
I used this product to acclimate my skin to retinol before I moved up to 1.0. I tried to rush the process and used every night and my skin got dry. When I followed the directions my skin handled it beautifully. I would highly recommend this item but also recommend following the instructions.

Been using this cream for over 5 years now and won’t change. Makes my skin smooth and younger looking.

Best option for my dry skin
This 0.5 strength is perfect for my dry skin. I am able to tolerate use every night with the triple lipid restore afterward. Seems to make my pores look smaller as well as for aging concerns. Don't forget your sunscreen as it can make your skin sensitive.

Good retinol option
I just started using this after many years of using Tretinoin cream which is a prescription. This seems to be a good product and not much dryness with it. I’ll stick with it and assess when I’ve used it for a longer time.

SkinCeuticals 0.5 retinol
This is a reasonably priced product and it’s potent. I have developed major sensitivities to retinol so this product didn’t work well for me but if your skin handles retinol well this would be a great product for you. I recommend starting with the .3 and slowly moving up. My sensitivities are because of hormones and nothing to do with these products FYI.

Gentle yet effective
Best .5 Retinol cream for my mature, lightly oily skin. I use it every night.

Good % for sensitive skin
This product was recommended by my dermatologist. She knows my skin well and recommends I stay at this percentage even though I have been using for over a year. Results are visible, especially the line between my brows. I use 4x to 5x per week and started seeing significant changes after approximately 3 months.

Fabulous Retinol - worthy of hefty price!
SkinCeuticals have wonderful products. This retinol is wonderful especially if the 1.0 is too strong, but the .3 isn't quite strong enough or if you're just building towards the 1.0. This product tightens and keeps my skin hydrated. It's a definitely must for aging skin just make sure to wear your sunscreen!

Favorite Retinol!!!
I love this retinol, I started with the .25 percent and after I was adjusted I switched to the .5. I did peel a lot when I started using the .5, but it is worth it. I will continue using this product.

Retinol 0.5
I had been using another brand retinol in a .25 for awhile and wanted to graduate to a slightly stronger one so went with this product. I’ve only been using it for a short time and only twice a week but so far no irritation, redness or flaking. I’ll definitely purchase again!

Powerful!
I’m 40 and use this product 2xs week (alternating nights with blemish + age defense). Seems to be powerful, but effective. Only complaint is packaging.

Finally, an amazing product that does not irritate my skin!
This product is amazing!! have tried multiple retinol products in the past and within 2-3 weeks had to discontinue use as I would get multiple red, dried patches that burned and itched. It's great to have finally found a retinol product that I can use on a regular basis. I will not go without it!

Skin Ceuticals Retinol 0.5
I love this 0.5 Retinol. It is not too harsh! I tried the 1.0 and my whole face peeled off! I can use the 0.5 many times a week with NO problems.
