Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 Maximum Strength Refining Night Cream
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 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.

Best Retinol I've tried
I've used many drugstore versions of retinol products in the past. I have to say that SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 is by far the best( & as it should be for the price). I've noticed just a little bit of flaking the next day after I use it, but that's easily combated by using a really good hydrating serum in the morning with a good moisturizer on top. Just a word of caution for first-time retinol users... I would definitely only use it 2 to 3 times a week and let your skin build up a tolerance. The first week I got really excited about it and I used it just about every day. I had the worst "wind burn" feeling on my face for about 3 days. And anything I put on top of my face just burned. I went back to just using the SkinCeuticals hyaluronic acid intensifier morning and night time for a few days, and that seemed to heal my skin. Now, I'm back to using the retinol at night about 3 times a week, and it seems to be working really well with very little irritating side effects. I've noticed a good reduction in my forehead lines.

A little too soon but impressive
I moved to the 1.0 and the first time I used it knew there was an absolute difference. It was much stronger and actually caused my skin to break out a little bit. BUT the peeling/renewing of skin was much more encouraging. I still use it over my Resveratrol BE but can only use it ever 4 days or so because I can feel that doing it more than that would basically burn my face/dry it out because my skin is older/thinner. I'm working my way up to the goal of every couple days, though my chin an area with old acne scars can seem to handle every day, and the scars are fading :) Giving it 4 stars only because I've only been using 3-4 weeks, but I sense it will be a 5 star product for me.

Aging is no more!
Love the way this retinol smooths skin and leaves an even tone. I use it 3 times a week and do not experience any over drying. Very nice product.

Good product but don’t use too often
Skin is smoother and fine lines are diminished, but I really had to be careful not to use it too many days in a row because it would cause me to be dry and flaky.

I like it
I'm upgrading from 0.5 to this, so far so good, I need to give it more time to see results but I was very satisfied with 0.5. Few dry spots but not that bad and after the initial "purge" the skin felt and looked amazing! I can't wait to see what another full 6 months will do!

Great Retinol
This retina cream spreads easily and does the trick. It doesnt seem to over dry my skin and I get great results. My pores decrease in size, my skin is clearer and fine lines are diminished. Since I use such a small amount, this tube will last months if not over a year.

Graduated from .5 to 1.0
Have not been using it long enough to become adjusted to it, but the .5 % which I used for several months was wonderful and surprisingly helped with my rosacea. Thats the reason I upped my dose to 1% because I am looking to get below the level where the inflammation/infection is that is causing my rosacea. My friend who visited recently said she saw a real difference.

SKINCEUTICALS RETINOL 1.0
I am a new user to this cream, however I am going to keep on using it. The cream makes my skin feel refreshed and I think it has helped the overall look of my skin.

Love it
It took a few months for me to work up to the 1.0 % but it has made such a difference in my skin! I get compliments all the time and people ask if I'm wearing makeup.. I get an almost matte look. Not dry, just smooth. And I never wear foundation. I only wear mascara and lipstick. I'm almost 43 and my skin looks clear and smooth and no new lines have formed. I admit I do have a few lines from year in the sun that have not disappeared, but they also have not gotten any worse. I've been using this for a little over a year. Use sparingly so skin won't be red and itchy. Love it.

Highly active product
I noticed superficial peeling of my skin following 2 uses of this product.This really made my makeup look bad for 2 days. I initially used it 2x per week & have decreased use to 1x per wk. Th peeling has halted. I use a clarisonic cleansing brush, & this helped to remove the peeling skin quicker. I had no redness. I do see increased clarity & smoothness in my skin with use of this in conjunction with the CE Ferulic that I beagn to use simutaneously.
