Good
I have dry mature skin and this is just enough retinol for me. I used to use a stronger product but it was to drying. I like this product makes my skin smooth. I am able to use it more often because it is not as strong.

LOVE IT
I love this retinol. It make my skin smooth and soft. The redness is gone and acne start drying up right after I started using it. I use this product every other night just to make sure my skin gets used to it and so far I don’t have any dryness or irritation. Definitely worth every penny :)

Gentle Retinol
Retinol seems to be on every list of must use items to prevent aging. I've found that to be true and this one is gentle. I've never experienced dryness, redness or irritation. I use every other night.

Reaping the benefits
I went up from .25 to .5 and this has made a difference in skin tone and texture.

0.5 Retinol
I bumped up to the 0.5 after getting used to using retinol. For me this is strong and I use just a couple days a week. It’s works very well and helps my acne scars.

Good stuff
I have no problem with this retinol cream. I started off with .25 retinol cream with no problem and it gave me good results. So I ordered the .50 it very good so far. Am African American in my 40s with no wrinkles. I just want to maintain my skin. So yes I would recommend this product.

Perfect starter retinol for me
I switched from a prescription tretinoin .06% to this and it was a great change. The previous one dehydrated my skin so badly and sensitized it to every other ingredient. Plus, it really didn't do much for my acne. This has done much better for my skin and I worked up from using it every other day to every day. Plus I like how this has more ingredients than JUST retinol in it.

Good, but stronger than expected
I have been using for a month but can only use twice a week or my skin peels too much. Do feel that it helps my complexion seem more even.

Smooth my skin
I starting to use 0.25 Retinal Complex then switch to 0.5, I can tell that my skin is smooth and fade my fine line, it absorb quick and not sticky. SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 is my next step.

Skin Medica Retinol 0.5
Works great. Previously used another more expensive brand from my doctor's office. Similar results with the SkinMedica product I purchased at LovelySkin. This is my third order for this product. Would recommend highly. Also, as usual, shipping was fast!

Smooth Skin
I love skin medica .050 retinol complex. After using the ..025 retinol complex I decided to try the .050 strength. My skin was already good so I was surprised in how much improvement I noticed in the smoothness and overall texture in my skin. It was also tighter and brighter. So glad I decided to go up on the strength. I have tried other retinols but this is the best.

Skin looks brighter!
I've only been using this a few weeks but I've already noticed my skin looks brighter and my hperpigmentation seems to have lightened. I'm excited to see what happens as time goes on. I did have flaking but I feel like it showed that it was working, so it didn't bother me.

A must-have product!
I swear by retinol, been using for years. I find this brand and this strength to be the most effective and the least problematic for my mature skin. No flaking or irritation!

Excellent Retinol
I have used products from the SkinMedica line for many years. All the products are excellent, and this is no exception. As suggested, I started with the 0.25 potency and recently moved up to the 0.5. So far, so good! Leaves your skin feeling so much smoother in the morning. Love this product!

Great retinol product.
Another excellent SkinMedica product. I started with this 0.5 strength, and plan to move up to the higher dose in time. My skin does well with this formula. Keeps me clear of breakouts and makes me look more radiant. I am in my 40s and can’t live without a great retinol. This is a winner!

Best product ever
This is my absolute favorite product ever purchased. It clears up skin and refreshes surface without irritation. I did get a little flaking the first week and after that it’s been great to use every other day.

Great product
I have been using SkinMedica Retinol Complex for about 3 months. I love how it makes my skin feel and look. It doesn’t make my skin burn, flake or turn red. It is important though that you follow the instructions and ease into applying it to your face. I highly recommend this product.

Use carefully
I used this too many nights in a row and my skin got irritated. I needed to take it slow as it is potent. It definitely works, but you need to take your time.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5
I had called LovelySkin and talked to Customer Care to inquire what Retinol product I should purchase that would be good for my skin. I previously used Prescription Tretinoin about 6 years ago for a short time. The woman I spoke to at LovelySkin was very helpful in explaining the differences in strength and the product brand. She said to start out with SkinMedica 0.5 and move up the strength gradually. I do love the SkinMedica brand and this was the right strength to start out with. My skin actually feels smoother, so I will definitely purchase the 1.0 formula next time. I appreciate all the knowledge that the employees have with skincare products. I definitely recommend purchasing skincare products from LovelySkin.
