Wonderful Product!
SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 truly delivers! It is definitely more effective than other retinol products I have used in the past. I would caution you to use it very sparingly, however, until your skin adapts to this 1.0 strength.

Works well
Seems to keep my skin fresher and more even looking. I notice some mild peeling which I assume is what helps the process of turning over new skin. Definitely will purchase again.

Smooth skin
If you follow the directions and gradually add this product to your routine noticeable results are possible. Expect some initial flaking but over time the skin adjusts and fine lines seem to fade. It is important to use a good moisturizer. I am 70 and very pleased with this product.

Great Product
I’ve been using this product for 2 weeks and really like it. It caused very mild peeling for the first few days and now there is no peeling at all. Very elegant feel and easy to apply.

Great OTC retinol
I started with the .5 level and worked my way up to 1.0. I'm now using 4-5 times a week without issue. I think this definitely keeps my fine lines at bay and my skin feels bright and healthy. I just got a rx for tretinoin but if that is too harsh I will go back to skinmedica. A little goes a long way and it is gentle, without fragrance. I've been using for a couple years.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0
So much cheaper than buying from your dermatologist. I have seen improvement … smoother skin, minimize pores, and even skin tone. I have sensitive skin so I only use 2 times a week.

SkinMedica Retinol complex 1.0
This product is better than most retinols. I would like to see it in a higher retinol amount.

Makes a difference
I started with .05 and graduated up to nightly at 1.0. Retinal is a miracle. Over time, it smooths the skin of little imperfections. Just ordered my second bottle. I’m a believer.

Probably will not buy again
I love the creamy consistency of this product but it does seem to sting my face a little, even after following with good moisturizer. I have used Replenix Retinol 10x for years and it never has given me any problems, although the consistency on that product is not as nice.

easy on my aging skin
I love this product! So many retinol products are too harsh for my 60 something skin. This works perfectly.

Effective Retinol!
I use this 2 - 3x per week and it still makes me peel! It's just a superficial peel which I don't mind at all and my skin is bright and baby smooth. I probably don't use it enough to get adjusted, but I like to alternate with glycolic acid products as well. I find mixing it with a drop or 2 of water helps it spread a little easier as it's a thick lotion and I don't like to "tug" my skin. I've tried many, MANY retinols/retinals in the last few years and this is the only one that gives me visible results so I keep coming back to it. I have both the .5 and the 1.0 and I stick with the 1.0 now and deal with a little peeling now and then. It's well worth it!

Have tried several different brands. Once I started using this product, I found my favorite. I have been using now for 2 years. Existing age spots have faded, no new spots.

Best anti-aging product
I’ve been using for over a year. I was working for a derm when I started so amazing discount, thought why not. WOW. At 51 my skin looks 30. Texture, tightness, brightness, bounce all has come back!! I added the skin medica TNS Advance, and sunscreen!! These are a must also for a great regimen. I will continue this until I’m senile. I learned a lot working for derm…. The Sun is the devil. Protect yourself at all costs starting at an early age!!!

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0
The SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 is a concentrated cream that works well for me to encourage cell turnover, fade dark spots and minimize fine lines. I usually apply a moisturizer at the same time and this cuts down on excessive flaking. Using this I strategy, I can apply the product every other night before bed. I may increase the strength but have been using the 1.0 concentration for some time. And I use sunscreen during the day!!! Highly recommend!

It Works!
This retinol works well and is not as harsh as some because of the emollient in its formula. Word of caution...if you are not used to a retinol, be sure to start with the .25 or .5 strength and work your way up to 1.0
