Can't live without this product!
I started with the 0.25 concentration and have now moved up to the 0.5 concentration. SkinMedica's Retinol has improved the texture of my skin after intense acne as a teenager. It has also helped to calm down my rosacea that flared after having my second child. I cannot be without this product!

SM retinol O.5
Been using retinol for many years; started with prescription retin A. As my skin is maturing I prefer using more gentle products. Really like this one! I use it nightly

so far, so good!
I am really enjoying this product. I did use a .25 retinol prior to this (a different brand) but decided to use this as a next step after my med spa NP recommended it. Honestly, I love the results. I use after I cleanse, use hyaluronic acid, and then moisturize as I have sensitive skin. I let the HA absorb for a few minutes, then put on the moisturizer and let it sit for at least 15-20m before putting a pea size amount of the retinol complex on my face. I have been doing it every other evening and my skin is already looking amazing. I put it on right before bed BTW. I will eventually try it as recommended, on clean skin after cleansing but before any other product, but for now, I am going to continue layering to protect my skin barrier and to decrease any retinol side effects.

Amazing
I am 45 years old with dry/sensitive skin. This is the best retinol formulation I have ever used that does not irritate my skin and I have also seen results in my texture and fine lines over time. Consistency is the key to this product. Strat off slow and build it up in your nighttime routine.

Noticeable difference
This product helps to smooth out any fine lines without drying out my skin. I also apply it to my neck with good results. This retinol complex has made a significant difference in my skin; I get compliments on the youthful appearance of my skin all of the time.

Good Retinol source
This retinol complex is not as drying as some of the other retinols. Leaves skin looking plumper the next day.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5
I have been using SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5 for over five years now. It was recommended by a dermatologist. At that time, I purchased it from her office. It has been the best thing I have done for my skin! A few months ago, a doctor had me remove my mask. She seemed shocked that my skin looked so good. She commented that I had beautiful skin. I am 66 years old. I try using it every night or every other. My skin can be a little sensitive. Just start off slowly. I then learned about LovelySkin. LovelySkin had a better price. I order all my products from LovelySkin now.

Gentle and effective
I’m a fan of this brand and this is no exception. Very gentle formula. No redness or sensitivity from using this regularly.

Right amount of retinol
I decided to purchase this because I had not been a retinol treatment for a very long time and wanted to start out gradually. This was feeling alittle strong at first but easily tolerated into using just about every evening. I enjoy this brand. It is very efficacious.

Love it
My aunt who is an aesthetician recommended this and she was so correct. Been using it for a few months 2x/weekly. I little goes a long way for a gal in her early 30s. Not drying either. I use Hyaluronic acid right after on retinol days. Glad to restock it!

Must have
My skin is very sensitive to retinol, and the 0.5 has been gentle but effective. I moved up to 1.0 but had to switch because it was just too harsh for my skin.

Go to retinol product
I’ve been using SkinMedica products for a few years now, and this retinol is the best. For me, it’s better than prescription products.

That glow!
I’ve been using SkinMedica 0.5 for about 3 mo and my skin has greatly improved! Texture is smoother, no more cystic breakouts, and a glow I never had before. I’m amping up to 1.0 on reorder. Highly recommended!

Great Retinol
This seems to have a pulping effect on my skin and helps with blemishes without being overly drying.

My winter retinol!
Nice smooth consistency & absorbs well into skin. No fragrance noticed. Skin has a smooth & refreshed look in the first week of use. Very happy overall with product. Moderate price is worth it. Will purchase again.
