Perfect strength
I often struggle to use Retin A but this complex works well with my skin cycling routine and doesn't cause irritation. It's strong enough to see results without causing peeling!

My Favorite Retinol Serum
I love this serum. The results have been amazing. My skin is not irritated at all and I'm seeing real improvement. I've tried most of the retinol serums on the market and find this to be the most effective for me.

Love this product
This is a great product! After 1 month using, my skin texture is smooth and redness has diminished. It only takes a small amount to achieve an improvement in texture and smoothness.

Great Retinol
I have tried several retinol serums for the night time and I did not care for the others because I was always pumping out more than I needed. The reason this SkinMedica retinol is my favorite is because of the pump. All you need is 1 pump for the entire face. I will always re-purchase this product.

Smooth retinol
I used to use this item and recently began using again. It is as good as it used to be. No irritations. It will be again part of my night routine.

So far so good
I am alternating this product with a Retinal. It hasn’t cause any unwanted side effects- no drying and no peeling. These sorts of products take time, but I am happy to be without adverse reactions.

An oldie, but a goodie
I've tried a number of different retinols over the years, including prescription tretinonin, but I decided to return to Skinmedica because I think it's a very potent retinol. It doesn't cause any flaking, or irritation, though I don't tend to get side effects even from Retin-A. Just started using SM again, so will need a bit of time to see real results.

Works!
This product does a great job exfoliating my skin and making my pores disappear. Every month, I usually use it every night for about a week and my face then starts to "shed" (kind of dries out.) I then use a scrub everyday for a few days to reveal a fresh layer of skin. It helps to keep my skin looking fresh. Helps with my fine lines, too. Highly recommend.

Power To Pair with Intense Hydration
A recent review of this product by someone who likes that this retinol didn't cause flaking, like others did, is interesting to me. Everyone is different. My experience (going on two months) has been the opposite. Many previous uses of prescription retinol and OTC formulations under my belt and this product took me by surprise. I stepped up from a different brand 0.5 concentration to this 1.0 and used it twice in the first week. The flaking, after two or three days was very noticeable. With gentle exfoliation, moisture, and plenty of internal (water) and external hydration, I've been able to manage the flaking, but in summer this is noteworthy; cannot imagine the level of skin turnover if I dare use this product in winter more than once a week. I have thick eyebrows and even they flaked ridiculously for a couple weeks; very inconvenient when trying to do quick summer makeup in the morning. To make this product work (and not be a loss) I've used rosewater & other hydrosols & moisture mists after double cleansing (with a washcloth) one drop of straight chamomile and/or lavender/ or calendula essential oil added to each application and Babor products, particularly the Hyaluronic Acid Power Serum Ampoules and cold pressed kukui and jojoba oils applied to clean, damp skin as necessary.

Best Retinol Cream
Love SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0! My skin is sensitive and dry. This cream doesn’t dry and make my skin flaky the next day like other retinols I’ve tried. Will be repurchasing this product.

I tried SkinMedica Retinol .5 before this. Using this 1.0 I see the difference in my skin texture. My skin peeled a bit and became smooth.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0
Like all SkinMedica products, this is wonderful. I alternate it nightly with CE Ferulic, also by SkinMedica. It goes on before the TNS serum.

Strong retinol works
I use weekly and just a small amount of product is needed. I occasionally get dry around my mouth and chin for a couple days. Skin has improved with this routine after 2 months.
