Skin care
I just started using this product about 2 weeks ago. It didn't breaks me out. I noticed a little improvement. It's a keeper. Next time I will purchase the 0.50.

It’s a wonderful product. I may need to bump up percentage as I’ve been using. .25 for a few years now.

medium strength retinol for sensitive skin
This is a pretty good medium strength retinol for sensitive skin. Probably a good stepping stone for a higher strength like 0.5 strength. It's a bit thick unlike the SkinCeuticals (which I like better but is a bit too strong), so it doesn't layer well with other products unless you only use a few.

A Good First Retinol Product
This was my first experience using a retinol product. I liked it, and it did not irritate my skin at all which was a concern for me.

SkinMedica Retinol 0.25
I slowly began using this product for any sensitvity issues and then progressed to every night. After about 2 weeks, I noticed my face becoming dry with areas of excessive dryness. I do live in AZ and also naturally have dry skin. I then decreased the application to every 2 days and that seemed to aid in controlling the excessive dryness. I thought perhaps as winter subsides and leads to spring and summer, I would slowly return to nightly application. While using the product, I did appreciate the refined texture of my skin and the overall appearance. I experienced no burning or stinging, but I would suggest to others who are dry and sensitive to test and slowly advance.

Wonderful product
I was urged by an esthetician to use a retinol product on my face to help reduce wrinkles and prompt cell turnover. This is the first retinol product I have used and am glad I chose SkinMedica''s 0.25 complex. It is a great one to start with in order to make sure your skin can tolerate retinol therapy. The first couple of times I could feel a very slight/faint burn, which I was warned of, but I have no burning sensation now. I'm getting my glow back!

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 is a good product
I like this product, but it may be too soon to tell. I have only been using a short time, and I understand you have to use it for a while before you see an improvement. I will continue to use and give it some time. The product does apply nicely. I have had no issues with redness, irritation or dryness so I must be applying a correct amount. Like the pump and the fact that a whole lot of product doesn't come out.

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!!!

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.
