Feels nice, not too irritating
I’ve only been using this product for 3 weeks, so it’s still too early to give a full review on results. What I can say is that it feels very smooth and glides on nicely. My skin is a little bit pinker than normal but not flaking or super dry, so this is consistent with the retinaldehyde expectations. When I shower in the morning, I can rub my fingers on my clean skin and little bits of dead skin come off, so it’s definitely speeding up the skin cell turnover. Good product so far!

Very gentle
This is my first retinol product and I have very sensitive skin. It didn’t irritate my skin, and I noticed my skin looks bright and clear the next day. I will have to use it long term to notice the effects. It’s very expensive though and I hoped to get more product for the price

Retivance Skin Rejuvenating Complex
Recently started using rejuvenating complex. I have dry, mature skin, this goes on nicely, feels nourishing, while doing its job. Only a month in, and starting to see a difference already.

Okay
I’ve been using retinols that are a .5 and doing very well with them however I wanted a change and Retivance was recommended to me as a good alternative by the LovelySkin care staff. Retivance goes on very creamy, feels great on your skin, spreads well and you do not need a lot of product. It also dries into your skin quickly. It causes no irritation. You can use it daily. The reason I gave it three stars is because I do not feel it works as well as the retinol I was using that was .5%, which I was able to use daily and caused no irritation either. I am not going to continue using it.

Retivance, Suzan Obagi
I absolutely love Retivance! As I have very dry, mature skin, (age 68), I apply it to a moist face after cleansing and it goes on smoothly and makes my skin feel silken. It is very rejuvenating and I have received so many compliments including "have you had any injections?" I have reordered this product 3 times and friends are using Retivance as well.

Gentle yet powerful
Love this for nights where my skin is too sensitive for my prescription retinoid. Very gentle on sensitive/reactive skin types.

Can't Get Enough of This
When I want a break from the RX retinoid or simply apply to the eye area (under eye and orbital bone) in conjunction with my RX (which shouldn't be used close to the eye) this is my go-to. Love this product and it's silky-smooth texture. It's fast absorbing (be sure to apply to damp skin for best absorption!).

Gentle Retinol
So nice to have retinol which never irritates my skin even when my skin is trying to be irritable. Easy to use. I think it’s making a difference.

Pretty good
I've gone through a few of these, and I like it. I think I, personally, need something a little stronger. It’s a great starting point for a good retinol/retinoid.

First time using a retinoid - so far so good!
I'm probably about 3/4 of the way through my first tube of this and I've been liking it so far. It's my first retinoid product I've used and it took a few weeks for my face to get used to it - I used it a couple times a week at first because it was making my face dry. After working my way up, I now use it every night with no issues. I liked it enough to purchase again but plan on going to a higher dose retinoid once I'm finished with this.

Great Retinoid Option for Beginners!
This was my very first retinoid product and, while I know everyone's skin is different, this definitely seems like it's a great option for beginners! Since retinal is closer to retinoic acid than retinol, there's less chance for irritation up front and the added silicone helps make it silky and seems like it helps buffer the retinal on your skin. I never experienced any adverse side effects even as a beginner. It also contains other good ingredients for your skin like peptides and glycerin. Yes, it's expensive but since retinoids are one of the few ingredients (maybe the only one??) proven to help reverse aging, it is well worth the investment in my opinion and it's nearly impossible to find other retinal options at this strength that cost less from trustworthy brands.

Exceptional Product
I have been using this product for just about a year. I was using it daily and now I use it about 3-4 times a week when I don’t use a prescription retinoid. It causes zero irritation which is great for those sensitive to retinoids. Goes on silky smooth. Only thing I don’t love is that when you get towards the end you have to cut open the bottle to get all the product out. The pump doesn’t allow for you to get it all out fully. But once you cut it open you realize there is a lot of product stuck around the sides of the pump. I know it’s pricey but for how little you use it will last a few months. Highly recommend as part of your anti-gaining routine.

Gentle for eyes
I use this product on my upper and lower eyelids because it is more gentle than my Rx tretinoin.

Suzan Obagi retivance skin rejuvenating complex.
I’m so happy I got this. I have never been able to use any sort of retinol under my eyes until now. I am extremely sensitive to many eye creams but I absolutely love this. Are use it on top of my eye cream at night and it seems to be working. I do think this is a good purchase.
