Product Overview

Minimize signs of aging with SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0

Once you’ve added a retinol product to your anti-aging routine, you can continue to use higher concentrations to improve your anti-aging results. SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 is a highly concentrated formula that is ideal for anyone who has already used a retinol product. The formula encourages cell turnover which reveals healthier and more youthful skin. Using this product at night helps fade the look of fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots. Because the formula contains antioxidants and soothing ingredients, there is less flaking, redness and irritation caused by this product than other retinol formulas. 

  • 1% retinol exfoliates the complexion and encourages cell turnover 
  • Antioxidants defend against free radicals and soothe skin 
  • Bisabolol calms inflammation and irritation 

Increase cell turnover to reveal smoother, softer and brighter skin with SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0. 

Highlights

  • Paraben-free
  • Fades signs of aging
  • Improves tone and texture

Directions

Apply a small amount to face and neck every evening. If a retinol product has never been used before, begin twice a week 2-3 days apart, increasing frequency slowly until daily use is tolerated. Do not use if you are pregnant, lactating or planning to become pregnant. Mild redness, peeling and irritation are expected when using this product. Use a sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week following.

My New Favorite Retinol

After my doctor discontinued selling his retinol recently, I started looking frantically for a replacement. Well, I not only found one,, after an extensive review of product reviews, but the SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 EXCEEDS what I was using. Within a couple of days, I could see slight flaking in those areas around the mouth more prone to loss of elasticity, but gradual improvement overall. What most impresses me is that after one month of using this retinol, I have noticed minimal dryness to my combination 80-year old skin and seeing a glo come back to my cheeks that I have not enjoyed for a number of years. Ladies, this is my new “ah ha,” especially when combined with my TNS Advanced Serum at night and my Skinceuticals products in the morning.

Taut unlined skin...

I find this product to be very effective at keeping my skin taut and unlined. I had to gradually increase from .25 to .5 to finally get to 1.0 over time, but now I truly find that the results are wonderful. People say I look younger and my skin in smooth despite being 68 years old. I will continue to use this product nightly for years going forward. I love it.

The best Retinol cream!

SkinMedica has the best products, especially this Retinol cream. This is a higher percentage so you need to start with the .25% and work your way up. Now I use the 1% daily as the first step in my regimen. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate it at all! I highly recommend this product!

A Retinol Product That Has It All

I am a long time 1% retinol user and wanted to switch from a more drying one, made by a pharmaceutical company, to one for mature skin. SkinMedica Retinol 1% with its many buffers (squalane and various oils) , spreads easily, doesn't make my skin peel and actually feels good upon application rather than feeling dry and tight. It's made by a recognized skin care company, Allergan, rather than a cosmetic company; and all in all I couldn't be more happy so far with this product. I say "so far" because I sometimes break out, and I am hoping this product works well without any unwanted skin reactions. - just the smoothness that retinol provides.

You can't ever go wrong with SkinMedica

This retinol is lovely and very emollient. It rubs in easily and has no scent which is preferred, sometimes and definitely works to reduce wrinkles and lines. Thank you, LovelySkin, for offering this product line!

Retinol

I love Skin Medica retinol and usually use the .50, so this one is stronger. Although I really like it, I have to use it less often and be cautious since my skin can be sensitive, but it’s a great product!
