Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 Maximum Strength Refining Night Cream
SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0
This is my second tube of the Retinol 1.0 and am very impressed with how my skin has reacted to it plus how it has helped with my fine lines and wrinkles. Will continue to use as long as it is helping my skin. Thank you.

Strong and Effective!!
I began using this 1.0 version almost 9 months ago, prior to turning 40. Wish I had started sooner! Rather than starting with the .5 version. I started using the SkinCeuticals 1.0 just twice a wk and can now tolerate it 4 times per wk and the gentler, nourishing Obagi 1.0 on the other nights. I almost always apply this around the lip area and to my few fine lines even on my Obagi nights right on top of it. This has erased all the fine lines on my forehead and tightened my pores. I started using the hydroquinone blender product from Obagi with this as I had a hard time not using too much. I found it difficult to spread the small recommended amount which made me more red. I no longer have any freckles at all and my chest is a much more even color as well. I have 1 dark spot that continues to lighten. My neck is far too sensitive for anything besides Obagi .5 retinol but I love the consistency of the SkinCeuticals .5 retinol and will try it again. Maybe I’ve built enough tolerance. This stuff will kill a blemish in 2 nights and usually keeps them from appearing at all. SkinCeuticals makes the most potent retinols. I usually have to apply a moisturizer an hour after applying this. A lot of people have said it’s stronger than their Rx Retin A/Tretinoin.

Great OTC Retinol
It's a great OTC retinol for people whose skin is too sensitive for a prescription strength retinoid. It's less irritating but strong enough to provide all the benefits. I recommend starting with the 0.5 strength first if you haven't used a similar strength retinol before. I used the 0.5 strength for a couple of years before this one and still take a break from the 1.0 and go back to the 0.5 when my skin feels extra dry and sensitive.

Great retinol cream for your skin
I will keep purchasing this product. I like the packaging, the cream stays active inside the tube. It lasts several months.

Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0
I started using the Skinceuticals Retinol .5. I had some minor redness at first. When I finished it I bought the 1.0. I had no dryness or redness after using it nightly. Pricey but worth it.

Starts out well
I like the “feel” of this retinol product on my face - it is very smooth. No smell (good) and not greasy. I’ve only been using it a week, so too soon to see any results, but I’m hopeful!

Cell turnover
By using just a pea sized amount, the SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 has effectively caused the skin on my face to peel. At this point, I am only using 1x a week and will slowly work up to 2xs a week, but am happy with the results. Make sure to use sunscreen with a high SPF while using this product!

Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0
I have been using this product for many years and believe my skin has benefited greatly from regular use. I tried a cheaper version of Retinol and abandoned it after realizing SkinCeutical's product was superior.

Excellent Job
I'd been using the highest strength Environ Vitamin A product for a couple years, and had some concerns about using Retinol 1.0 being too harsh on my sensitive skin. Probably after already having become acclimated to the Environ product, my skin tolerated the 1.0 pretty well. Did about a week of every other day, and now I'm using the product daily. The initial burning sensation when I'd put cream around my eyes has stopped, and my skin's looking in great shape. Follow it with Skinceuticals HA Intensifier and then their Triple Lipid Restore. All work extremely well together, and I highly recommend them.

Excellent
Excellent product! I don't use it every night or every other night. Mostly twice a week I use this retinol 1%. The next morning I can always see a visibly better skin, looks firmer and smaller pores.

THE BEST ON THE MARKET
THIS IS NOT MY FIRST TIME ORDERING THIS PRODUCT. I WAS USING PRESCRIPTION FORM OF THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THEN STOPPED. WHEN I STARTED AGAIN WITH SKINCEUTICALS I WENT RIGHT TO THE 1.0 BUT ONLY USING ONCE A WEEK AND THEN EVERY OTHER DAY. NOW I AM UP TO IT BEING PART OF MY NIGHTLY RITUAL. WHEN I WAS DOING IT EVERY OTHER DAY, I PUT IT OVER MY SERUM AND A LIGHT WEIGHT MOISTURIZER, BUT WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE DOING SO. THIS ELIMINATED ANY IRRITATION. I AM NOW USING IT EVERY NIGHT AND AS DIRECTED BY SC. BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE. AFTER IT HAS ABSORBED I USE MY SERUM AND MY NIGHT CREAM. I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEELING, THAT MEANS IT IS WORKING! REMOVING DEAD SKIN. I HAVE A VERY MILD EXFOLIATION I USE TO REMOVE THE DEAD SKIN. IF HOWEVER YOU ARE GETTING RED AND IRRITATED, CUT BACK. ALSO TRY USING A VERY LIGHT WEIGHT MOISTURIZER ON TOP OF IT. THE OTHER IMPORTANT THING IS A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. YEARS AGO WHEN I STARTED WITH RETINOL I SLATHERED IT ON (YOU KNOW THE MORE THE BETTER) AND WAS ADVISED BY DR. TO USE A SMALL AMOUNT AND A LIGHT HAND. I HOPE SOME OF THIS HELPS ANYONE HAVING PROBLEMS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BRAND FOR ANYONE WANTING TO USE RETINOL. I ATTRIBUTE THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT FOR MY SKIN NOT LOOKING MY AGE OF 75. NO WRINKLES AND GLOWING SKIN.

Awesome
I love it! This is a great retinol to help with elasticity and anti-aging , and also it helps to decrease the appearance of small wrinkles and combat uneven skin tone. Retinol is part of my daily regimen.

This product is amazing!
Since having a hysterectomy, I've had cystic acne. This is worse than puberty. I've been trying various products to no avail. Then I read about SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0. It had many positive reviews, so I thought I'd try it. Not only has it cleared up the breakouts, but my pores have shrunk, my ever-so-slight wrinkles are disappearing, and I am looking much younger. I'll take that any day! Thank you SkinCeuticals!
