Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 Refining + Anti-Aging Night Cream
I adore it!
Although it is very strong, if combined with Triple lipid restore cream you'll get an amazing result. Btw, I am 45

A little goes a long way
After first night of use my face started to flake. I started very slowly with only once a week. Now I use it 3X a week at night and no more peeling. The first round I gave up because I hated the peeling but then I stuck with it and my skin adjusted and stopped peeling and left it softer and seemingly lightened some dark spots. But beware of the strength because it is strong.

This stuff is fabulous. It’s not too strong and does the job without dryness or redness. I use 3x a week

LOVE THESE PRODUCTS!
I recently, about 3 months ago, switched from another brand 0.5 retinol to SkinCeuticals 0.5 retinol and really like this much better. I only use it once or twice a week and have gotten great results! My skin looks fresher, younger and has a glow to it that doesn't look artificial. I'm not a young woman, so when I get compliments from people on how great my skin looks it's really uplifting! At night I always use SkinCeuticals Resveratrol BE along with their Triple Lipid Restore. I find the combo very nourishing for my skin.

Effective product
I definitely see changes in my skin with regular use of this retinol. My skin is clearer. Be sure to apply when your skin is dry, not damp.

Love it!
I love the retinol from skinceuticals, it left my skin brighter and doesn´t irritate my skin. I use it twice a week alternating with a chemical exfoliator and the remaining days I just use my night cream. I love how my skin looks like.

Makes facial lines almost invisible!
I was apprehensive about using this strength as the retinol I had been using was half the strength. But my skin had no trouble adapting to the stronger product. I alternate each evening between SkinCeuticals retinol and SkinCeuticals glycolic acid. But the morning after using the retinol, my skin looks more youthful--the lines more relaxed. I will purchase again.

The real deal
This Skinceuticals retinol is the real deal. Nothing better than retinol to keep the skin young and fight fine lines. Can’t live without it!

Fantastic
I notice a visible difference the next morning when I apply this at night. My skin is smooth, tight and my blemishes go away. Sometimes I will spot use this on breakouts. This can be drying so I use a more rich moisturizer the night of and the following morning to replenish the moisture on my skin. I do recommend.

BEST RETINOL Cream By Far!
I have used this retinol cream for years now--I used to use the stronger dose but started using it less due to sporadic peeling which could be a nuisance and untimely. The lesser concentration is not enough for me as I am now nearly 50. I use this retinol cream every two to three days to maintain tight skin and help smooth skin, reduce discoloration and pigmentation. (On evening 2 or 3, depending on tightness, I do a mild peel to remove lightly peeling skin and prepare for the next retinol use.) I have always had hyperpigmentation, past acne scars and larger pores on my forehead, nose, around mouth, and on chin. This gradually removes extra layers of skin holding those discoloration and blemishes, and moreover reveals fresh, younger, tighter skin with smaller pores and better clarity. It is also a challenge to find non comedogenic aging products but this is perfect for my aging, but skin that occasionally breaks out. I also just started recently use twice weekly on my hands and neck and chest to reduce freckles, lines and other signs of aging--what a difference in only a month--my hands don't resemble my mom's any longer! I highly recommend this anti-aging, skin tightening cream to anyone!

The best!
I just started using the 0.5 after starting with the 0.3 a year ago. Let me tell you - I noticed a difference in just DAYS. A stubborn zit between my eyebrows shrunk instantly. My forehead lines faded markedly! And because I used the 0.3, my skin is tolerating it beautifully - no redness, no peeling. I have rosacea and use this product with no adverse effects. I recommend starting with 0.3 then working your way up to 0.5 to help your skin adapt. I love this!

Take It Slow
It took me a while to get through the tube of Retinol 0.3. And I can see the adjustment to this new product is also going to take a bit. Right now I am using it every 5 days or so. My skin is sensitive....once a week I take a spin class in the evening. Washing my face after work, taking the class (lots of sweating) and washing my face again with a gentle cleanser....I tried to use this product....not so good. I believe it was due to that whole process. For reference, I am almost 60yo and have been using this line for a couple of years. I often get compliments on my skin.

Love my results
I am working my way up to SkinCeuticals Retino 1.0 and have been happy so far with the results from the 0.3 and now 0.5. My skin looks a lot smoother and dare I say - younger! I started on this regime after seeing my best friend's results - also pretty amazing. I am 40 and I do not have a ton of wrinkles / lines but the ones that had formed have significantly lessened in appearance - as was my friend's case. I am very careful about putting on sunscreen as I am more sensitive as a result of this cream (and others I use). I highly recommend this brand and this specific cream!

Turn back the hands of time.
I have used this product for more than one year and can honestly see a difference in the texture and feel of my face. Additionally, if a blemish dares to try to make an appearance, dab some directly on top before bed and it will be gone by morning.

Great step towards increasing retinol
I like that the Skinceuticals Retinol line has explicitly defined the strength of retinol. It helped me be able to move from 0.3 strength to the 0.5 and then again over to the 1.0 with ease. Oh and study. It was just nice to know that I can transition from one to the next, without any question of strength.
