Gentle and effective
SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 is friendly for beginners. I use it 3 days in a row and rest for one day. The result is significant and side effects are acceptable. SkinMedica really find a balance between being gentle and effective. It will be a long term product that I repurchase again and again.

Great product
Love this product. It is definitely the one you want to start with 0.25 if you are just starting out with retinol. Follow instructions and you won't be disappointed!!

Effective Retinol
I very much like SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 and have started my husband using it too. I can tell there is increased skin 'turnover' and I have more color in my face after only about two weeks' use. Since the 0.25 complex did not irritate my skin, I am going to buy 1.0 next time. This is a good product that is easily and evenly applied. A little goes a long way, so it's also cost-effective.

Very Good Product
This is my second time using the product. Have been very pleased with the results. My neck was a little sensitive, but was able to correct this by using a little of my night cream before applying my retinol. I’m very happy & would highly recommend.

Lower Concentrate = Less Peeling
I like this retinol because it is only .25 so I don’t experience the massive peeling after use. I only use it a few times a week.

Gentle enough for everyday use
A retinol gentle enough to use every day, SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 is creamy and doesn't irritate or make skin oily or dry and flaky. Just right for my sensitive skin.

Perfect for new Retinol users!
Disclosure: I think I may have posted about 3 reviews in my life but THIS one was worth the time it took to write! I have tried retinol products in the past (as advised, start slow, make sure your skin is completely dry...blah, blah, blah) and still had issues with super dry skin, discomfort and peeling. I desperately wanted the results that everyone was ranting and raving about but my skin and retinol just didn't seem to get along. After a really bad hormonal breakout I was told to give it another try. I came across the SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 & decided to give it a go one more time. I purchased it and started using that night, I skipped the next day and used it the following day and noticed I had no reaction at all! Fingers crossed, I decided to started using it every night and prayed my skin wouldn't spiral out of control and OH....MY....WORD! My skin got brighter and smoother, it did a great job lightening my acne scars with just a couple of uses!!!! It was SO nice to not have ANY reactions at all!!! NOW I know why people love this stuff!!! It's definitely a new "can't live without" product for me. I plan on using the .25 strength for 6 months before bumping up to the SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.50. I have SUPER sensitive & acne prone skin and SkinMedica has yet to fail me. It has been worth EVERY penny and is hands down, one of my favorite brands.

Good introduction to retinol
Bought this one to try to introduce retinol in my routine. My skin was adjusting alright, so hoping to increase retinol concentration with this brand moving forward

Great mixed with night cream
I react greatly with retinols - irritation & flaking - but have started mixing this in with a small dab of nighttime moisturizer, which has eliminated the problems!

Excellent product
I have been using SkinMedica products for years. The 0.25 Retinol Complex is gentle on my sensitive skin, but very effective. I have used other retinol products in the past, and they have been too harsh. This one is perfect for my skin type. Pricey, but worth it. Definitely recommend.

I love this product!
Flirts time using it. Had some redness at first. Only used twice a week. Then increased until I made it daily night treatment. With a short time, my skin is radiant. Turning 40 never looked so good. The first week/ 1.5 weeks I felt dull and ugly after using it… I was determined to keep going. So glad I did.

Great for sensitive skin
A great Retinol product for first time users or who suffer from sensitive skin. It’s well tolerable and is used in conjunction with your favorite moisturizer. A small less then dime amount will do and spreads easily. Start slow and build up to being able to tolerate daily application. If too drying apply moisturizer first. Again less is more when it comes to Retinols. Great for acne, hyperpigmentations, wrinkles and acne scar of used regularly. Product lasts a long time before reordering.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0..25
This product does an excellent job. It removes nasty patches of thickened skin, and makes the skin look younger and more refreshed. It also lightens dark patches on the face. I recommend this product.
