Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 Maximum Strength Refining Night Cream
Best OTC retinol I tried
Using about 9 years At first it made my skin peel. Took awhile to get past that stage. But once I got through the rough part my skin is smooth. I use it every other night , using Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight on the nights I don’t use retinol.

Strong stuff
Works well but is strong. Cannot use everyday. I used to get the 0.5, but now, I get this and use a smaller amount—much more economical. Definitely one of the better retinols I’ve used even compared to prescription stuff.

Strong but effective
I’ve been using this product for about a month now after using the .3 retinol. Started a few times a week and now apply every other night alternating with a glycolic product. I have experienced some occasional mild redness and peeling but nothing too bad. Am happy with results thus far and feel good about incorporating a quality retinol product in my skincare routine.

Strong Retinol Product
I thought I could start out with the 1.0 Maximum Strength Retinol Product because I use so many scrubs, etc. But, I was mistaken.This product is strong. You definitely need to begin with with the .5 strength. Now I have reduced the amount of product I am using, and the frequency, and my skin is no longer peeling. It is a good product, just believe the fact sheet when it states to begin with the lower dosage.

Best Retinol Cream
I started using the Retinol 0.5 on a nightly basis and gradually increased to the Retinol 1.0. I am asked frequently which skin products I use, and this is one of the first I mention. It really works for me.

Works!
Definitely works. A little bit goes a long ways. If you’re sensitive, skip a day or use half strength.

My skin is transforming
My dermatologist recommended this product to me to help with acne and some dermatitis. I have been using this product for a little over 4 months now and would highly recommend it. You will go through a period of dry skin and acclamation to the product if you give it time and use as directed, you will see some pretty awesome results. My dermatitis has cleared up, acne is at a minimum, and the overall clarity and tone of my face is vastly improved. There are even some fine lines that are becoming smaller and less noticeable. It can take up to a full year to see the full potential of retinol's transforming effect, so don't give up. Luckily, you use such a small amount of this product that it will probably last almost a full year.

Best brand for Retinol
I have tried many different brands for Retinol and SkinCeuticals is my favorite. It goes on smooth and has a pleasant smell. A little goes a long way! Over time this will help fade age spots and wrinkles. It's definitely worth the price.

Really good for me
I am 70+ years old, was using a different brand of retinol from a good company, but it was 2% and always felt a bit strong, not terribly, but I could see it was really roughly on my skin after 6 months of use. I put it away and ordered SkinCeuticals 1%, and it is working really well and doesn’t irritate my skin. Should have switched sooner. I use this every other night, alternating with H.A. Intensifier.

Works Wonders!!!
I used the retinol 0.5 refining night cream for a while. I then decided to go a bit stronger and get the 1.0 strength. They both worked for me like magic. I had very light discoloration on my skin due to a very extended beach vacation last year. This product took most it off. I will probably buy SkinCeuticals retinol night cream for a long time.

Works wonderfully well
This made my pore so much smaller. It can be drying, but gradually build up by using it once or twice a week until a tolerance built.

It really works.
I have used this product for over 2 months, and I used other brand's retinol product before. When I used retinol from other brand, the retinol lingered on my face, and my skin didn't absorb the product, although the product was expensive. So, I changed it to SkinCeuticals retinol. When I first used this product, I was amazed that my skin absorbed the cream in 3 minutes after application. It never irritates my skin. Since using this product, the skin around my jaw got flaky in the next every morning for about 3 weeks, meaning this retinol really does its work. After 3 weeks, no flakes on my skin, and I am happy about the result. I wanna try other brand's retinol as well so I might buy another one after using this one, but I will probably come back to this one. I highly recommend this product if you are looking for retinol. It really works with no adverse effects.

Very drying
Very drying and not as great as the retinol 0.5 by SkinCeuticals. My skin was too sensitive for 1.0 strength.

MUST HAVE!
This is one of those "must have" items. I'm in my mid-50s and still have adult acne. Not only does this keep my troubled skin younger looking, a little dab of this on a blemish and that blemish is almost gone the next morning. This is my all time favorite product!

Now my husband uses it!
I've used this product for many years, at the recommendation of my dermatologist. I use it every night and get many compliments on my lovely skin! My husband started using it a few months ago with the same amazing results: acne and oily patches have cleared up, skin is smoother and healthier looking. It is a bit drying for him, so he applies it every other night. We both can highly recommend!

Seems to be very effective
After using only once, but skin was very sensitive in the sun. I actually say this as a positive thing, because I should have been covered up more and had more sunscreen on for my long walk. This tells me that this product was already doing something which is pretty amazing!

Retinol cream
I have used a lot of various “retinal” based creams and products. Some have made my face red and harsh. Which originally turned me off to retinol altogether. But my father is a doctor, and he explained that retinol, in his opinion, and mine now as well, is a must have. This brand and retinol concentrate has done wonders for my skin so far! I would absolutely recommend this product!

great stepping stone for prescription retinoid
This works well! It will take time to build up tolerance. Start 1-2x/week then increase to 3-4x. I initially peeled a lot, as expected. Once you build tolerance, switch to a prescription retinoid for better anti-aging treatment. This tube will last a long time, lasted over a year for me.

Exceptional
I've used a lot of high end skin care products over the years. SkinCeuticals is a cut above - from ease of application to convenience of packaging and solid research backing up its results. I use the anti-aging products along with the retinol so it's hard to sort out the benefit of any single product. I will say, that this product leaves my skin feeling as smooth as porcelain when I apply it.
