love retinol complex .25
Love this gentle yet very effective retinol complex by SkinMedica. I usually love SkinMedica products and this product is no different. I feel it decreases my wrinkles and my skin looks clearer when I use this retinol. My skin has no irritation or peeling when I use it. I Highly recommend this product.

Retinol Review
So far so good, I think I need to keep using longer to see the overall effect, like a normal retinol.

Very Mild
I usually have trouble with Retinol being too harsh for my skin. But this product has been perfect for me. I've been using it every few days and have had no trouble with dry skin or breakouts.

I have been using SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 for many years. I am 69 years old and use it once per day in the evening with my skin care regime. It does not leave my skin red or feel harsh. I have tried the Retinol 1.0 and I stopped using it because it was too strong for my skin. This product has reduced fine lines on my face.

Gentle product
This is great starting point for retinol. I didn’t have any redness and currently am using every other day. I am planning on using this bottle and then increasing to .5.

I highly recommend this product for overnight repair. Follow up with a nighttime moisturizer and wake up feeling clean.

Skin feels so soft.
I like this cream as it doesn't seem as harsh as other, more potent, retinol products. My facial lines seem less severe, but when using multiple products it's hard to pinpoint if any one serum or lotion is responsible.

Nice for sensitive skin
I am so bad at using retinol regularly, but I use this once a week and it hasn't caused my skin to flake yet so that's great! Will update if my review changes.

Great for sensitive skin
I’m so glad that SkinMedica offers a retinol formula for sensitive skin. The .25 version is great for folks who want to start small and move towards more intense, or who just want a more gentle version to use long term.

Love the SkinMedica Line!
SkinMedica is my go to product line and this retinol is part of my daily use. It does not cause redness or flaking and after about 2 weeks of using it, I noticed a clearer, brighter complexion… still waiting for those fine lines to diminish but overall very pleased.

Safe for sensitive skin prone to rosacea
I've been using this product for several years and I'm very happy with the results. I wanted a retinol serum but my skin is so very sensitive and prone to rosacea when exposed to certain products. I chose the lowest strength which is 0.25 because I thought the 1.0 and 0.5 would be too much for my sensitive skin. There are cheaper retinol products on the market, but a lot of them use containers that expose the contents to air and/or light which can potentially degrade the retinol. I am very pleased with the container used by SkinMedica because the integrity of the product is never compromised by air or light. The results of the 0.25 lower strength version are still fabulous and I'm never worried about getting rosacea while using it.

My first time ever using retinol and this intro product is very gentle that I have been using at least four times per week and I have sensitive skin. No breakout or dryness. I have not noticed much of a difference but I understand that it takes time especially with this low dose. So far I am happy.

The best retinol ever!
I have hyperpigmentation and retinol is one of my staple. Items in my skincare routine, therefore I have tried many and I mean MANY retinol a from a wide variety of brands including prescription retin A, and this is the BEST I can use it every night without irritating my skin and the results are visible since day 1! Is a must have!

This 0.25% retinol is very very gentle on my skin. It did not cause any burns, redness, irritation, or dryness issue, so to me, that's a PLUS! I've been using this product for more than three weeks now, but I do not see any marked difference in my skin tone or texture. I might try the 0.5% once I use up this product.
