Great product.
Love this product. .5 and 1.0 were too strong for my skin type but have found that .25 works really well.

1.0 is too strong, this one good for sensitive skin
I bought the 1% and the .25. After using the 1%, it would take a week for me to get rid of all the dead skin. The .25 is way more gentle and you don't have to worry about having flaking skin on your face.

Gentle retinol
I love using this retinol treatment product during the winter months when my skin is dry. I put this over my moisturizer at night and have not had any issues with irritation. Have repurchased!

Decent low concentration retinol product
Liked this product. Used to condition my skin for higher retinol concentration products. May use in future for maintenance. I have sensitive skin and this did not cause any reactions.

great product
I have only been using this Retinol product for a week, but so far I like it. I came from a sensitive skin Retinol and was afraid my skin would react poorly to this one, but thus far using it every other night has proven no issue. I like that the consistency is more of a lotion, easy to apply. Bottle says use 1 pump, but I find I need 2 pumps to reach all areas of my face. So far so good!!!

not as great as SkinMedica Tri Retinol
When I used tri-retinol, my skin lost the lines. Now that Im using this substitute (tri-retinol was phased out), my lines wont go away. Wish they would bring back the old one!

Retinol for Sensitive Skin
I have been using this product in the .5 retinol strength but have found when my skin gets dry I am better off using the .25 strength. Either one is an excellent product and I highly recommend.

Great Product...
I really do like this product (it was recommended to me by my plastic surgeon). Just be careful when starting to use this product. If used everyday at first, it can cause your skin to be dry and flaky (at least this was my experience). Also, do start with the low percentage first and work your way up. Its tempting to just go for the stronger formula, but thats not a great idea!

Great for sensitive skin
This retinol is great for sensitive skin. Does not cause dryness or redness. I just reordered this product because of how my skins feels and looks!

Skinmedica retionol .25 is just right for sensitive skin. It helps to smooth your skin and doesnt cause irritation.

Great product to begin a retinol regimen
My skin tends to be sensitive, so I was skeptical about using a retinol product. However, knowing the importance of using retinol for anti-aging skin care, I needed to find something my skin could tolerate. I have been using the .25% retinol for three weeks and am following the recommendation to use the product twice a week until I feel my skin can tolerate it more frequently. I wait about 20 minutes after washing my face, and I use an oil-free moisturizer after applying the retinol. So far, I have not seen any redness or irritation on my skin and my skin is smoother (and my pores less noticeable). The product is fragrance-free, which is a plus. I would definitely recommend this product to others looking for a product to begin an anti-aging skincare regimen.

Thumbs Up!
This product has improved my skin tone. Feels great on your face and has not been drying or given me any redness which retinols tend to do.

Perfect for sensitive and dry skins
I stopped chemotherapy 8 months ago and my skin still has not recovered completely. I was unable to tolerate the full strength retinol I have been using in the past, and I was happy to find a 0.25 strength retinol. I spread some moisturizer over the retinol, and my skin does tingle a bit in the morning, but that is all.

Retinol Complex
I originally attempted to order SkinMedica Tri-Retinol Complex but found it was discontinued, and Retinol Complex was the suggested substitution. I have not yet tried it as I plan on using my older product first. However, Retinol Complex was recommended to me by a skin specialist for its anti-aging benefits. She did caution that there might be some initial "reactions" such as irritation or redness, but I am hopeful that will not be a serious issue. As I have been very pleased with the Tri-Retinol by SkinMedica, I am optimistic that the Retinol Complex will be just as satisfactory.
