Gentle + Results
I took a gamble when I bought this - having sensitive, rosacea type 1 and 2 skin can be tricky but it's not altogether impossible to incorporate a retinal into your routine, it just has to be gentle. This is definitely that. I saw results after the first use (fading of past PIE and plumping the fine lines on my forehead.) I've been successful using this 2x per week and hope to bump it up to 3x soon. The only reason I'm giving this 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the scent. It's very relaxing and not overtly strong, but my nose is just as sensitive as my skin. I prefer bergamot in my candles and not so much in my skincare because of how easily a rosacea flare can be triggered. So far so good though!

Love it
Anytime I’ve tried retinol I’ve had a bad reaction that just didn’t feel right to “push through.” This retinal is so gentle but effective. I love the texture and my skin feels healthy, smooth, and vibrant when I use it.

This is wonderful for my super sensitive skin. Much better than tretinoin.

No irritation
Great for sensitive skin and rosacea prone. No irritation or peeling with this and you still get the retinol!

Gentle Serum
I had terrible acne growing up and as an adult I have struggled to find skincare products that help clear up old blemishes. This stuff is the bees knees-I am on month three and my skin looks softer and incredibly hydrated without the oily look!

Great for sensitive skin!
I've had a hard time incorporating retinols with any degree of consistency, until I decided to try this form - retinaldehyde. I can absolutely tell this is working - skin appears very smooth and if I try using this more than 3 times per week, my skin will get a bit reactive/red. I always thought I was not using the best if it wasn't retin-A, but seriously folks, for sensitive/reactive skin, this is a winner.

It really is gentle on skin
I switched to this retinal serum after using another one for a few years. Osmosis Skincare MD Calm Gentle Retinal Serum seems to have cleaner ingredients than the other retinal product I was using, plus the pump works much better. I have used it for a couple of weeks and it is gentle on my sensitive skin on both my face and neck. So far I am happy with it.

When your dermatologist can see a difference...
Great product! Even my dermatologist noticed the positive change in my skin so I know my new find is a keeper. I get injections for acne (cysts) and chemical peels and this product is a wonderful compliment to those treatments.

Amazingggggg
This is the first vitamin A product I have used that does not irritate my sensitive, somewhat itchy skin. I use it twice a day and the results are positive ..... can’t wait to see the results with continued use ..... love osmosis. Thank you!

Was encouraged to purchase this for my teenage son who is experiencing acne. Unfortunately, it didn’t help him.

Great summer serum
This is very lightweight, so I use this in the summer. My skin is oily to combination and this is an amazing summer serum.

Thrilled with retinaldehyde and Osmosis skin care!
I have finally found a way to power up my skin care routine without the bad side effects of Retin-A. Osmosis has this formulation of retinaldehyde that doesn't irritate my skin to the point that I have to stop using it. I'm slowly increasing my usage without super drying or flakiness! It's amazing. My skin is looking healthier, plumping a bit and I''m willing to commit to this line for the long term. I highly recommend you trying Osmosis Calm for starters if you have had issue with retinol/retinoids in the past. Thank you, LovelySkin, for carrying it and the excellent service, too!

Magic serum
Hands down, this serum has made a difference in my skin. I've been using it for 5+ years and have never even thought of trying another. It's that good. I have a bit of rosacea and feel it has been calmed by this serum. It leaves my skin with a dewy, supple feel. I love this stuff.
