Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 Refining + Anti-Aging Night Cream
SkinCeuticals retinol 0.5 refining night cream
I have been using retinol 0.5 cream for more than half a year. I have super sensitive skin and my skin was dry and peeling,even I used it for just 2 or 3 times a week. No matter what moisturizer and how many layers of moisturizers I applied on my skin. I almost wanted to give up on it. However I did feel my skin was tightened and I have mature skin. Finally I decided to continue using retinol cream while applying skinceuticals intensive hyaluronic acid next to it. It makes a lot of difference. My skin is not dry anymore and has become firmer. Now I put on my retinol cream every night !

Great starter retinol!
I've been pairing this with the glycolic renewal cleanser and using both is a little too much for my skin. Haven't found the right balance between using this and the other, but will keep trying. The times that I have used this, I have been very happy with the results and would definitely recommend this product especially as a base retinol product to try out.

Favorite retinol
I love SkinCeuticals .5 Retinol. I have been using this product for the past five years and I’ve never had an issue with the strength or the application. Better to use it once a week for 2 weeks. Then 2 a week for 2 weeks then 3 times a week for 2 weeks and so on. I do wish that the container was a better design as it’s constantly leaking out of the nozzle whenever you squeeze it to apply at night but that’s really my only complaint. I upgraded to a 1% retinol and that was a little too strong for my delicate skin; downgraded back to this formula as I had to take a break after plastic surgery was healing. It’s never dried my skin out so figured I go back through a tube to recondition my skin. I like to use retinol pretty much every night when I’m on a retinol routine but the SkinCeuticals .5 is absolutely the best formula and it has the best feeling/ it feels like silk after you apply it at night. I use it with triple lipid restore on top.

A Must Skin Care Product
This Skin Ceutical Retinol product is a must have for my facial skin care. At my age iof 64, it is vital to my skin. I use this product 4-5 times a week. It prevents wrinkles and tightens the skin.. I would highly recommend this product!

Love it!
I'm a fan of SkinCeuticals. I did not use 0.3 before this but felt it was too strong. I mixed it with moisturizer to dilute it. I'll recommend using 0.3 before 0.5.

0.5 retinol
Been using this for about a year and able to use it every other day. Not able to use it more than that per week as it tends to irritate my skin especially on my neck.

My fave retinol
Makes my skin soft and my pores small. I've tried other brands but this seems to be the most gentle yet effective on my skin.

Wonderful
On my 3rd tube. Changed my skin for the better. Fewer break outs and more even and smooth skin. Would be nice if they would change the packaging to one that won’t break open. Second tube kept breaking open and leaking. Start slow and build up to nightly or every other night. Less is more when it comes to retinol. Totally with the price and won’t ever leave home with out it. Might try the 1% next time.

SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 Refining Night Cream
Was recommended by a LovelySkin consultant. I love it so far, very calm and creamy texture. No reaction thus far!

Great Product for Your Skin
I have used SkinCeuticals since 1995 although it has been bought 3 or more times so 25 years ago you would not have found the product under SkinCeuticals. Yes, I have used this this long although started with 1.0 as do not think they had .05 way back when. Of course, as I’ve aged, and my skin has become thinner I have dropped to .05 and it is perfect in maintainIng fairly wrinkle free skin face and neck. I am a dedicated fan of SkinCeuticals. Start with the lower concentrations and build and my guess you will see amazing results in 6 months continuing as you use this product.

Good to have
Good product, use once a week, see some difference, but nothing dramatic.

Awesome product!
Really makes a difference in my 36-year-old face. You only need to use a small amount - I still have 75% of the tube 6 months later!

Best retinol
I love this retinol cream. I like the milder strength. Doesn’t cause redness and flaking on my face. It works well for reducing fine wrinkles and occasional breakouts. I use it nightly. I also bought it for my daughter-in-law because she was having breakouts. It’s the only retinol product she has tried that doesn’t make her face red and irritated. Not only has her skin cleared but it looks beautiful. She loves it!

Causes Peeling
I've used .5 retinol before with no problem, different brand, and am trying this one. I use it only twice a week as the directions suggest, but the day after use, my skin peels pretty badly for 2 days. I'm still using it because maybe my skin needs to adjust.

Does the Job
I've been using Retin A for years and it really is the only product that consistently produces results. You will need to exfoliate a couple of times a week to keep up with rapid cell turnover and flaking but that means that it's doing the job. Skinceuticals is my go-to brand for skin care and this retinol doesn't disappoint.

really like it
good product. think I saw a good difference, nothing dramatic. but upping to the 1.0 on my next order. I will say that the tube busted on the sides about halfway through and every time I used it it would seep out the sides! I had to keep it in a zip lock to stay fresh. so packaging could have been better. I have sensitive, acne prone mature skin and this did not irritate at all.

Powerful Retinol
This retinol is an extremely high level of retinol so should be used sparingly (which is great because that only means that the product will last you longer!). I use this product 3 times a week, alternating with the hyaluronic acid. I have noticed a visible change in the fine lines on my forehead, jawline and neck. I have also noticed that the discoloration areas are fading and my face appears more even toned, I would recommend the entire SkinCeuticals line to anyone and as always, this product did not disappoint me.

So far so good
I was anxious to try a Retinol but I have sensitive skin and did not follow through with previous products. I use other Skin Ceutical products so I purchased the 0.5 Retinol. I did have some redness and discomfort the first several times, but I started to apply less of the product and had less problems. I feel it is to soon to see much difference but my tolerates this product better without peeling.
