Been using it for over a year
I like to try things out long run before I write anything about it. I can tell you that the product works otherwise I wouldnt keep using it. You do however have to ease yourself on to the product. Cant start using it daily when you start off. Started with every 3 day for the first month. Then increased to every 2 days. Now I can use daily. I think if you have sensitive skin you may want to test out on small area first. Great product and my skin glows and I get complements all the time.

Love it ! Love it ! Love it !
My dermatologist sells this, so I was glad to purchase it at a discount during the July 4 sale. It works beautifully, but it is powerful. If youve never used retinol, then start with the 0.5 strength. It makes my 55 year old skin smoother and wrinkles are much less noticeable. After a few months of use, I can now wear a BB cream instead of foundation. Its the best you can purchase without a prescription, and for me, it works as well as prescription strength creams. You must use it regularly to achieve the desired results. Like any retinol, if you stop using it, your skin reverts back to its original condition. There are no one tube miracles out there. Any dermatologist will tell you it takes maintenance to keep your skin glowing!

Staple Product
This is one of the best retinol products i have used. It is not as harsh as Obagi Tretinoin Cream and more creamy. Ladies do not put this under your eyes you will regret it ...just a heads up if are new to this product..

Must have for nightly routine
I was using the 0.5 Retinol but then could tell my skin kind of plateaued, so when I was done with that package, I moved up to 1.0 and it made a big difference- with NO irritation. I was so glad for that because I have very sensitive skin and cant tolerate any of the prescription Retin A products. This produces excellent skin turnover without redness or peeling. It is one of the most important products in my routine- it makes that much of a difference!

Love this product
Skin medica retinol has significantly improved discoloration due to sun and hormones. My coworkers have noticed the changes. I have been able to dramatically decrease the amount of makeup to hide blemishes and the uneven tone.

Love this stuff!
I have used this for a couple of years (it used to be called Retinol Complex ES). It makes my skin really smooth, firmer, helps with discoloration, and just softens the lines on my face. I used the lower dose first and then moved up to this. I didnt get any irritation from it, just a little dryness which went away after using it for a couple of weeks. This is a great alternative if you dont like Retin A.
