Effective product!!!!

I started using .5 which was recommended by my dermatologist 3 years ago, then .75 and now I am using 1.0. It is very effective and I only need to use a very very very small amount of it for the entire face. This one really lasts for a long time and I am still using it. Highly recommend this product!

Doesn't irrate my skin

Goes on smoothly and hasn't caused any skin redness. Seems to help my skin from breakouts.

Too early to assess

I am basing the star rating on past experience with all the other Skinceuticals products that I have used. This isn't true for several other premium skin care brands, which are pricey, but don't provide any discernable benefits. I can say that this retinol product isn't irritating or unpleasant scented. I am anticipating favorable results at about the 3 month point.

Great results

Using Retinol 1.0 night cream has drastically kicked up the cell turnover on my face. Complexion is much brighter, dark spots are fading quickly and since I gradually moved from Retinol 0.5 to 1.0 after 2 years there has been no irritation. Wonderful product, highly recommended.

Best Retinol

This is the best retinol I’ve used. The 1.0 is just the right strength for my skin it is not too harsh or abrasive and easy to use or adjust to your specific needs or problem areas .

More pros than cons

Of all the Retinol and Tretinoin I've used so far, this is the mildest and yet effective product. It does not make my skin break out, not over drying, no redness and only very little to no peeling. However, one good tip that everyone should know when using Retinol/Tretinoin products is that the cleansed face must be COMPLETELY dry (including hands) before applying it. It is absolutely fine to use other serums/products prior to applying Retinol/Tretinoin but again, face and hands MUST be dry otherwise the skin may/will turn red resulting in redness and eventually peeling. Another important note is that when Retinol/Tretinoin is used, SPF50 is mandatory during the day. Regardless whether R/T is used, it is highly recommended to always apply SPF50 at least 15-20 minutes before leaving home. For double protection, wear a hat/cap and sunglasses (do not have to be expensive but certainly not recommending $20/pair). Remember to start from the lowest strength and work your way up to 1.0 as our skin needs time to get accustomed to changes. I usually apply 3 to 4x a week but try to avoid over exfoliating which will also sensitize the skin even more. Drink lots of water, more fruits and vegetables, have enough rest, work out regularly, less sugary/alcoholic beverages, not to exert too much stress on ourselves, avoid direct sunlight exposures (especially between 10am and 3pm) and might want to consider taking vitamin A, B complex, biotin, C and E, etc. (consult with your doctor first) and do not overdo it by thinking that applying more R/T and other products and/or consuming higher doses of vitamins are actually good. That's all I would like to share with everyone my honest and unbiased opinions. Wishing everyone a happier and healthier life ** wink wink **

Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0

Finally! I have been waiting to get started with Skinceuticals 1.0. I warmed up with the 0.5 formula as was recommended, and I am very pleased with the 1.0. It goes on smoothly and absorbs beautifully. I apply moisturizer afterward. I alternate every other night while my skin gets used to this formulation. I have experienced no irritation or redness. I am seeing continued improvement in my skin.

Just as strong!

I tried this after getting tired of purchasing my one percent from my dermatologist. It was less expensive, and I really didn’t think it would work as well as my regular Retin-A cream. I am thrilled to say I was wrong! In fact, it works better. I’m so happy to have found this product at this quality especially for this price. Thank you SkinCeuticals and thank you LovelySkin.

Retinol cream

I have sensitive, redness prone, normal-to-dry skin with acne rosacea. Retinol Cream is the best retinol cream and comparable to prescription creams. It helps lines, wrinkles, rosacea and doesn't cause redness or too much irritation.

A strong product and great for every other night

Be careful not to put near your eyes. You need to work up to this with products that contain less retinol. However the results are remarkable. My skin looks so fresh and my pores are clear.

Simply the best

Simply the best retinol product out there. At 55 I am a skincare junkie. I started using SkinCeuticals over 20 years ago. Worked my way up to the 1.0 even with sensitive skin. Sometimes I get bored and want to try something new. I always go back to my retinol 1.0 because nothing else compares. You won’t be disappointed. But you must work your way up to the 1.0. Love love love!

Would recommend

I started with .5 and have now worked my way up to 1.0. I love how it refreshes my skin. I have experienced no irritation issues using these products 2-3 times a week.

Love the product, love LovelySkin

LovelySkin never disappoints. The package came quickly, the product is 100% legit. Skinceuticals Retinol 1% - I have been using it for few years now. It's great and does the job. My skin improved noticeably.

VERY strong but worth it!

Make sure that you build up to this strength. I was using 0.5 without issues but this one I have to be very careful with. I can only use it 2 times per week at the moment but my skin looks very nice, clear, and plump!

The best of the best

I started out on 0.5 and after several months, worked my way up to 1.0 - upon increasing the strength, I had very little peeling, no redness or irritation. My skin is already reaping the benefits!

Taking the Plunge

This was my first purchase from the Skinceuticals line of products. I use a line of products from another company but had been reading such positive reviews about Skinceuticals I thought I would give one of their products a try. I am truly impressed with this product and will continue with its use. The consistency is wonderful and makes application a breeze. After using this product several nights I noticed a new firmness to my skin and reduction in fine lines around my eyes. In addition I will certainly be exploring more products from this company.
