Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 Maximum Strength Refining Night Cream
Works!
Recommended when I ran out of Tretinoin as an alternative and it did not disappoint. Very potent and noticed a bit less peeling after using it.

BeachGranny must have!
I Love SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 Maximum Strength Refining Night Cream! I have been using this for a couple years, every other night. I put a thin layer on my hands, face, neck & chest and it has kept my complexion spot & wrinkle free! I love that! I go to the beach daily taking my furbabies for a walk and though I go early and wear a hat & sunscreen I still use this for my youthful glow!!

Not sure It's helping me yet.
I have used this about 6 times in about four weeks. I started using it every day and then I started to peel. Oops, I thought I would be okay using maximum strength since I had been using The Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight and that didn't make me peel. My skin has still not gotten used to it ,so I am now using it about once a week. Have I noticed a difference? I have noticed my face looks better but I have gotten a few pimples. Has it helped my blackheads, no I don't think it has. I should give this a few more months in order to make a better assessment and use it on a more regular basis. Other than the peeling I haven't had any negative reactions.

best retinol otc
I use this product as needed for my skin. It is powerful and does a great job of peeling off the dead skin that makes my skin look good

Will never go without again!!
It's been years since I've used this particular retinol! It was cheaper of course but still good! I'll be 40 in a year and I realized I needed to maintain a particular form of skin care (anti aging). I ordered this and forgot just how good it was! Yes there is flaking and peeling when using it two to three times a week. But oh my gosh my skin looks so good! It's almost as if I have that glass skin effect. It will be a few months before I'm able to use it nightly so I will continue to add a day every few weeks until I can tolerate nightly use. I will never go without this again.

Potent product!
This product does what is is supposed to. I have only been using this a few weeks, and the texture of my skin is so smooth. I can’t wait for the long term results from this product. I already have a reduction in skin discoloration. You definitely have to build up to this level of retinol and only start out with it once a week at first.

Retinol 1.0 SkinCeuticals
Wow, does this work! I bought some retinol from a dermatologist and it was very mild, so much so that I wasn't sure if it was really working (1.0 strength). I thought heck, why not try this as I like all the SkinCeuticals line. I used it 3 nights in a row thinking my skin can handle it since my last one was a 1.0. After 3 nights I was peeling like an onion...LOL! So I scaled it back to every 2 or 3 nights and have very little peeling plus add the SkinCeuticals 2-4-2 on top of it. It's only been a couple of weeks into using this but I'm seeing results already. I have aging skin with sun damage and occasional adult acne so this is a good product for my skin.

Buy this!
If you are like me and reading every review to make sure this product is worth it, then I can save you some time. Purchase this product. I used it last year and saw results on my 37 year old skin the first morning. The first tube helped reduce my brown spots from literally never using sun screen (moms please teach your daughters) by at least 40%. I then tried a few other retinol products to save a little money. Came back to Skinceuticals 1.0 and getting great results again.

Love this product - works well but be careful with how much you use as it can be very drying.

Obsessed
I use it 2x a week usually and I can honestly see so much of a difference in my skin. I am obsessed with this.

Retinol 1.0
I have combination skin. I use this every night and follow it with an adequate moisturizer. A dime size is all you need! I have not had any burning, peeling or dryness issues. My skin adapted to retinol after using the lower concentration for one year. Transitioning to the higher strength has not been problematic for me.

No nonsense
I am 42 and have never had botox, fillers, etc. but have used retinol products since my late 20s and have very, very few fine lines despite being fair with a lot of sun exposure. This definitely kicks the retinol game up a notch. I peeled at first, although I used retinol for many years before, but it's been effective. The Skinceuticals brand is excellent in general, and this is the strongest thing I know of on the market before going prescription. If you have sensitive skin, back away though.

Great for maintaining a bright complexion!
I have been using Retinol in between periodic Retina Peels for 20+ years. I have tried many brands and have found SkinCeuticals to maintain the exfoliation with longer periods between professional Retina Peels saving me time and $$$. If you have never used Retinol I would highly recommend starting with a 0.3 strength and gradually increase as your skin tolerates. Wear sun screen!!

Removes forehead lines in 2 weeks
The most obvious improvement seen is the reduction of forehead wrinkles. I've only used this cream for less than 3 weeks and some deep lines have already disappeared!

Yes, yes and yes!
I am a long time lover of SkinCeuticals products. I trust their signs and I have seen results on my own skin. I started using their retinol .5 when I turned 32 and used it for 3 years religiously. Loved the results and decided to upgrade to retinol 1.0 with even better results. Have been using it for the last 4 years with no irritation, no dry flaky skin, it certainly reduced pigmentation, improved skin texture, keeps wrinkles at bay and overall balanced out my combo skin. I use it every night following with a good moisturizer. Couple nights a week I use an acid exfoliator before applying retinol 1.0 without any irritation. But I have resilient skin that I have built up for years so it’s used to retinol now. This is a golden standard. Do yourself a favor and start using it ASAP, your skin will thank you.

Use every other night to avoid sensitivity. I’ve noticed a nice glow to my skin.

SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0
I used this product for maybe two years and really liked the results. Then, for whatever the reason may be, I started to get some eczema and now I cannot tolerate it. Once I will be able to use retinol again, I will start out with the much milder strength, the 0.3 and build from there. In the meantime, I am using up the 1.0 strength on my arms, and my arms are looking nicer and nicer. Expensive, but at least I can use up the product.

Great product!
I have used retinol from this company previously. I love skinceuticals as a brand. I use the wash, the repair cream, ce ferulic, resveratrol gel and retinol. It is a very strong cream. If you use it without the dermatologist consult, please note that a pea size amount is enough to cover the entire face! I mix it in 1:1 ratio with a very good moisturizer. And use it every day. It will dry your skin, and make you peel, but it will also make those subcutaneous pimples come out. So don't be surprised if you are going to break out the first few times you use it. Those will go away, do not use any alcohol pads or acid pads, it will over dry your skin. Just wash, moisturize and use retinol how ever much your skin lets you.
