Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 Maximum Strength Refining Night Cream
More pros than cons
Of all the Retinol and Tretinoin I've used so far, this is the mildest and yet effective product. It does not make my skin break out, not over drying, no redness and only very little to no peeling. However, one good tip that everyone should know when using Retinol/Tretinoin products is that the cleansed face must be COMPLETELY dry (including hands) before applying it. It is absolutely fine to use other serums/products prior to applying Retinol/Tretinoin but again, face and hands MUST be dry otherwise the skin may/will turn red resulting in redness and eventually peeling. Another important note is that when Retinol/Tretinoin is used, SPF50 is mandatory during the day. Regardless whether R/T is used, it is highly recommended to always apply SPF50 at least 15-20 minutes before leaving home. For double protection, wear a hat/cap and sunglasses (do not have to be expensive but certainly not recommending $20/pair). Remember to start from the lowest strength and work your way up to 1.0 as our skin needs time to get accustomed to changes. I usually apply 3 to 4x a week but try to avoid over exfoliating which will also sensitize the skin even more. Drink lots of water, more fruits and vegetables, have enough rest, work out regularly, less sugary/alcoholic beverages, not to exert too much stress on ourselves, avoid direct sunlight exposures (especially between 10am and 3pm) and might want to consider taking vitamin A, B complex, biotin, C and E, etc. (consult with your doctor first) and do not overdo it by thinking that applying more R/T and other products and/or consuming higher doses of vitamins are actually good. That's all I would like to share with everyone my honest and unbiased opinions. Wishing everyone a happier and healthier life ** wink wink **

Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0
Finally! I have been waiting to get started with Skinceuticals 1.0. I warmed up with the 0.5 formula as was recommended, and I am very pleased with the 1.0. It goes on smoothly and absorbs beautifully. I apply moisturizer afterward. I alternate every other night while my skin gets used to this formulation. I have experienced no irritation or redness. I am seeing continued improvement in my skin.

Just as strong!
I tried this after getting tired of purchasing my one percent from my dermatologist. It was less expensive, and I really didn’t think it would work as well as my regular Retin-A cream. I am thrilled to say I was wrong! In fact, it works better. I’m so happy to have found this product at this quality especially for this price. Thank you SkinCeuticals and thank you LovelySkin.

Retinol cream
I have sensitive, redness prone, normal-to-dry skin with acne rosacea. Retinol Cream is the best retinol cream and comparable to prescription creams. It helps lines, wrinkles, rosacea and doesn't cause redness or too much irritation.

A strong product and great for every other night
Be careful not to put near your eyes. You need to work up to this with products that contain less retinol. However the results are remarkable. My skin looks so fresh and my pores are clear.

Simply the best
Simply the best retinol product out there. At 55 I am a skincare junkie. I started using SkinCeuticals over 20 years ago. Worked my way up to the 1.0 even with sensitive skin. Sometimes I get bored and want to try something new. I always go back to my retinol 1.0 because nothing else compares. You won’t be disappointed. But you must work your way up to the 1.0. Love love love!

Would recommend
I started with .5 and have now worked my way up to 1.0. I love how it refreshes my skin. I have experienced no irritation issues using these products 2-3 times a week.

Love the product, love LovelySkin
LovelySkin never disappoints. The package came quickly, the product is 100% legit. Skinceuticals Retinol 1% - I have been using it for few years now. It's great and does the job. My skin improved noticeably.

VERY strong but worth it!
Make sure that you build up to this strength. I was using 0.5 without issues but this one I have to be very careful with. I can only use it 2 times per week at the moment but my skin looks very nice, clear, and plump!

A little too much for my drier skin
This was too strong for me, even though I started with a gentler level and moved up to this. Had redness and flaking that took a while to go after I stopped with the retinol. Might work for others but was too much for dry skin, and expensive.

The best of the best
I started out on 0.5 and after several months, worked my way up to 1.0 - upon increasing the strength, I had very little peeling, no redness or irritation. My skin is already reaping the benefits!

Taking the Plunge
This was my first purchase from the Skinceuticals line of products. I use a line of products from another company but had been reading such positive reviews about Skinceuticals I thought I would give one of their products a try. I am truly impressed with this product and will continue with its use. The consistency is wonderful and makes application a breeze. After using this product several nights I noticed a new firmness to my skin and reduction in fine lines around my eyes. In addition I will certainly be exploring more products from this company.

This Is My Gold Standard For Wrinkle Elimination.
This delivery system is the best. It lets no air in and no product dry out like the pump tubes. You can apply a pea size amount or less. I have been using this brand for some years now. I started with the lowest dose and slowly increased the strength. It will greatly decrease the depth of deep wrinkles and eliminate fine lines and moderate depth wrinkles. It did for me.

Night routine game changer!
I've been using another brand of Retinol but wasn't seeing the results I wanted so I switched. Thank goodness!!! This is a game changer. Starting off slow and will build up.

This retinol is a little harsh for me, I use it every 3 nights to avoid irritation. Love the consistency though.

Takes getting used to
I’ve used this product for over a year and still have peeling. Overall gives amazing results of exfoliating skin but my skin remains sensitive to using it.
