Retinol
This retinol is powerful but more gentle than other retinol products I have used. It makes my skin very soft, bright and even looking. You do have to introduce it slowly though because your skin does peel some. I use a moisturizer after applying and that does help.

Amazing
First time ever I am seeing results during the first week of use of a product. Too early to say something about anti-aging and pigmentation, but I can tell pores are smaller and skin looks healthier and glowy in the morning. I used retinol before but gave it a break as I was traveling this past summer in very sunny/hot places. I started using this every other night following with a heavy duty moisturizer. No irritation or peeling so far.

Gentle
I have started using this only 2-3 times a week, as I have always had a lot of peeling when starting something new. I do feel like this is gentle and has made a difference in the fine lines already. I really like how it soaks in so quickly and isn't the least bit sticky. I have high hopes going forward as I use this product!!

Great for everyone
I've been using the stronger strength for years. We bought the 0.5 for my daughter so that she can get started on a meaningful skin care routine. She is 25 and still has some acne. She is happy - no redness or flakiness, just a nice smooth skin every morning.

Magic
I love this stuff. I have used it for over a year, and while I've upgraded to the 1.0, that can tend to make me break out because it is maybe too powerful, or maybe it has an additive my skin doesn't like. I do use the 1.0 for my chin area as it can handle it and the 1.0 works better to smooth that area more aggressively. But the .5 has been magic for the rest of my face in that it is giving me the benefits of a retinol on a lighter level AND keeping my face clear! I use a mild face wash, a toner, apply SkinCeuticals Resveratrol BE and then this .5, and my skin is pretty blemish-free.And, ANY blemish that was starting or that I may have tried to get rid of/left a mark is almost invisible by the next morning. The tube lasts forever because you need so little. I do put SkinCeuticals AGE cream on over it as well to prevent my 49 year-old skin to keep from drying out.

I’m back at it
I used this retinol a couple of years ago, had great results and then I stopped thinking that it would stay that way. Over time, my skin went back to its previous state so I decided to start again, so far so good!

0.5% NIGHTLY RETINOL
Love this product! This is the ONE PRODUCT YOU NEED IN YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE! I use the 0.5% due to my sensitive skin. It helps with my wrinkles and redness and is absolutely a must have! It is very drying so you WILL NEED a great moisturizer to follow it up with.

Gentle Anti-aging
When I bought this product I was looking to add an effective, yet gentle retinol product to my nightly skin care routine. This cream goes on smoothly and absorbs fairly quickly. No harsh side effects at all. I have oily to normal skin. Very pleased!

So far so good
This is the perfect solution for someone who cannot use prescription strength retinols. Currently, I am using twice a week. Did have peeling in the beginning, but now it appears my skin has adjusted, so I will probably begin to use 3 nights a week. Love it.

Does the job!
I’ve only used it for 2 weeks and I only use it 1x per week because it is strong and makes my face peel with just 1x per week.

Does what it’s supposed to do
I got this to help prevent hyperpigmentation prior to a laser treatment. Seems to be working for cell renewal.

Retinol for sensitive skin
I love this retinol because I have very sensitive skin and can't use a prescription strength retinoid. I started out using it once a week and increased usage over the course of six months.

Nice!
This product was recommended by a health care professional, and it was less expensive here than at the office. I have been using it a few weeks and can tell a difference. I plan to purchase the stronger retinol after this!

Great!!
I’m new to using retinol cream and didn’t know where to begin. This product is great and a must-have to my skin care routine! It’s gentle enough, yet effective. My skin is soft and bright! Will continue using it!

Surprisingly good!
I’m always skeptical about retinols. I get irritated and very flaky. I decided to try this as it is time released. I did flake and peel the first two weeks, but haven’t since then. I started by using 2x/wk. now up to 3x/wk. My skin looks better textured and pores are smaller.

Effective
Skinceuticals Retinol feels nice on my skin and currently I have to use it once a week as my skin peels for a few days. It smells great and soft on the skin.
