Retinal
I have been using this product for 5 years... the first 2 years I used the .025 strength and have increased to 0.5. It has helped to diminish facial lines. I have sensitive skin but this product does not redden my skin or cause my skin to feel irritated. I’m very satisfied with the SkinMedica line of products.

Rejuvenation!
I have used this product for the last 18 months. Always receive compliments on my skin. And I'm 69. Complete strangers want to know what I use. My skin is healthy and smooth. Use the Skin Medica sunblock and Rejuvenate Moisturizer too.

Gentle enough to use overnight
I usually get the retinol couples 1.0 but found I could only use 1 time a week. With the lower dose I use a few times a week. Mainly to lessen the appears of my enlarged pours above my lip area. My skin care go to is SkinMedica. I found that their product gives me the best results

Great Retinol Formula
I went with the .5 vs 1.0 dose as my skin is somewhat sensitive. So far, so good. I am seeing the results from consistent use.

No irritation
I really like this retinol. I started with 0.25 and soon started 0.5 and have not been disappointed, no irritation and no peeling. I don't think I will ever use another retinol, love this one!

Fantastic
Hard to believe how effective this product has been while causing zero irritation! That’s why I bought it and the claims are indeed true. Started seeing noticeable changes in skin after 3-5 uses. Been using for 3 weeks. Fantastic results! Smoothness, texture, fine lines, hydration improved. Looking forward to seeing long-term results after actual skin cell turnover periods. I’m a dude and I will continue to use this product vs Tretionin, cheers.

Love this retinol
It has been awhile since I have used a retinol, and after pregnancy and postpartum my skin needed a transformation. I started out using this retinol about twice a week. I've had great results, skin feels softer after flaking & without irritating my skin.

Retinol by skin medica is effective.
I use the retinol 0.5 every other evening. I'm 73 and find my skin does not tolerate nightly application as well as I age. I do combine retinol with a little night cream from a different brand. After well absorbed I apply a moisturizer. I feel my skin is healthy and well maintained.

Retinol 0.5 An outstanding Product
This is the first time I have used a SkinMedica’s Retinol product. This product protects my skin from getting too dry but still gives me the results of retinol which I like. I will probably work up to the 1.0 in the future.

Excellent product
I only need to use this retinol twice weekly. Any more than that and my face will peel all the time. Very good value for the money because I use much less than other products. Doesn’t irritate my skin like some retinal products do.

The Best
Skin Medica has the best face products. I use this retinol in combination with the tns recovery complex and the dermal repair cream. I have been using this line of products for over 15 years. I try to switch in order to save money and I immediately notice the difference and return to this product line. My dermatologist recommended SkinMedica years ago and it makes a big difference in the appearance of the age of your face.

Great
I started using Skinmedica Retinol 1.0, and found that was just too strong for my skin. I had thought because I used Differin gel for years I could start on a greater concentration. Big mistake. So I purchased the 0.5 concentration which is much better suited to my skin. I definitely feel as though I am getting the benefits of retinol (skin texture, brightness and overall clarity) without the side effects now. I highly recommend Skinmedica Retinol. I would just suggest starting with a lower concentration and working your way up.

Great product in a higher strength
I jumped from the 0.25 to the 0.5 retinol complex and experienced some dry feeling skin. So, I’ve backed down to every other day and I’m working my way up t on this strength.

Love this
I love SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5. I was introduced to this product following my Diamond Glow facial. I have been using it for 2 years now and noticed an improvement in the appearance of my skin. I would highly recommend it.

Potent Retinol
SkinMedica, in general, is a good brand that I like, and so is this retinol. It's not too harsh on my skin, and it definitely delivers. One of the better retinols on the market in my opinion.
