love this retinol
I used retinol for several months to help build up my tolerance before starting a prescription tretinoin. I noticed an improvement in the texture and appearance of my skin after consistent use of this product. Also notice decrease in appearance of lines and wrinkles!

Effective Retinol Serum
I have used this product for the last year and it makes my skin smooth and less fine lines. I always put on moisturizer with it or my skin will get dry and flaky.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex
I have been using Skinmedica for twenty-years. By far, this is the best skin care line out there. I have used many like so many but these products can’t be beat! Believe me, the extra money for these products are worth every penny.

Rough start
I decided to upgrade from .25 to the .5 SkinMedica Retinol and planned to start with twice a week as indicated. I had been using the .25 three times per week with little to no flaking. My first time using the Retinol .5 I used too much product since one pump didn't seem sufficient to cover my face. Live and learn! I had quite a bit of peeling and flaking from that first use as well as stinging when I applied other products for several days. I waited another week and used just the one pump of product which I later saw was recommended. (It still doesn't seem like enough to cover my face.) I had a little flaking but very mild. After 3 weeks I have just started using it twice per week and I do see a difference in my skin. I will continue to order this and other SkinMedica products.

Gets better the more I use it!
I’m 67 years old and have been using Retinol 1% for over 5 years now. I recently started using the .5% and find that it works very well as I apply it almost every night before bedtime. I receive many compliments on how smooth my skin looks. I believe the .5 strength is just right for me!

Great retinol
I like this retinol a lot, but I prefer the stronger one. It's a great starter! I've upped to the 1.0 and it works better for me. But recommend this one for people who are new to retinol.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5
This product works great. It’s very potent retinol with less irritation. I have been using other skin medica products since 2019. Glad I added this SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5 to my skin care routine.

Great!
I really love this product. It has made the texture and firmness of my skin so much better. I’m pleasantly surprised! I didn’t expect such great results. My skin feels really smooth and my pores are clearer. I didn’t experience any peeling, irritation or breakouts.

Best Retinol I've Found for the Price
I'm 75 & have used dozens of retinol products over the years. This is mild enough that it doesn't cause irritation & has helped reduce age spots.

Can only use very little, major skin irritant
This caused retinol burn after just a few uses. I had to stop applying everything except a healing moisturizer after using it until my skin healed--I have never had such a strong reaction. After healing, I have tried working it into my nightly routine once a week and that has not caused the same issue.

Immediately noticed an improvement
This sounds funny but I was in Ulta the other day after using the retinol complex for a couple of days. A woman walked up to me and raved about my skin and asked if I had just had a facial! (Which I had not!). I think that is about the best testimonial I can give!

Great product
I will continue to use in my anti-aging routine. It is a must in my book and won't try another. A little goes a long way. Leaves my skin soft and new feeling.

Works well
I recently got into retinols. This was a little irritating for my skin at first. I found that it made my skin flaky, but I figured out how to use it. I use a small amount of a very light moisturizer first. I wait until it sinks in (about 5 minutes) and then I apply this retinol. I apply 1 full pump. I let it sink in and then I go over it with a thicker moisturizer. I wake up with really soft skin and no breakouts! My skin looks and feels great!

Just what my skin needed
I really like this retinol. It seems to be helping these stubborn lines and it's very gentle. My skin can be very sensitive and this has not caused any irritation. I'm using it every other night and am pleased with it!

Still on the fence
I’m not sure if I will continue to use this product as after one application it made my face dry and irritated. I will maybe use once a week to build up a tolerance.
