Great starter
This was my first retinol product and I was concerned because I have dry sensitive skin but I started with once per week and it has been great! No dryness or irritation.

Love this retinol
I really like this retinol! My skin usually isn't able to tolerate but it's been great and I feel my skin is brighter.

Excellent product
I have been using SkinMedica products for years. The 0.25 Retinol Complex is gentle on my sensitive skin, but very effective. I have used other retinol products in the past, and they have been too harsh. This one is perfect for my skin type. Pricey, but worth it. Definitely recommend.

I love this product!
Flirts time using it. Had some redness at first. Only used twice a week. Then increased until I made it daily night treatment. With a short time, my skin is radiant. Turning 40 never looked so good. The first week/ 1.5 weeks I felt dull and ugly after using it… I was determined to keep going. So glad I did.

Great for sensitive skin
A great Retinol product for first time users or who suffer from sensitive skin. It’s well tolerable and is used in conjunction with your favorite moisturizer. A small less then dime amount will do and spreads easily. Start slow and build up to being able to tolerate daily application. If too drying apply moisturizer first. Again less is more when it comes to Retinols. Great for acne, hyperpigmentations, wrinkles and acne scar of used regularly. Product lasts a long time before reordering.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0..25
This product does an excellent job. It removes nasty patches of thickened skin, and makes the skin look younger and more refreshed. It also lightens dark patches on the face. I recommend this product.

Retinol review
Only my third week of using this product, I started off slow three times a week. So far so good no excess peeling or drying out of my skin. It seems gentle enough. I am going to increase slowly and see how it goes. Overall I like it so far. I purchased the cleanser also, having trouble getting it to later up though.

My go-to retinol
This retinol is super gentle and doesn't make me red or irritated. I started using it every other day and found that my skin was able to tolerate it daily. One pump goes a long way, so it lasts a while.

Good beginner retinol
I’ve heard the best retinol is whichever one that you can use consistently. Given that I’m currently on my second bottle of this, I think this qualifies! I’m 30yo and hadn’t used a retinol prior to this, I also have sensitive skin. I really like it and it lasts a long time even with nightly use.

Using this with the Triple Lipid
I found that after I started using this with the Triple Lipid by SkinCeuticals I was about to use more frequently with no side effects at the .25 level. I can say that .25 may seem low but you find out how powerful it is if you don't respect it starting out and try to jump into daily use!!

Effective Product
I have been using this Retinol from Skin Medica for over a month now. I am starting to see more noticeable results. Love how the product feels on my skin, even the scent. My skin tolerates this product well. I think with retinol products, you really need to consistently use them over a good period of time in order to see more marked results, overall am very pleased.

Excellent product
First time retinol user I used SkinMedica Retinol Complex .25 every other night for the first week and now use nightly. I strongly suggest that one purchase (and use) SkinMedica SPF 32 to protect skin during the day. Both are excellent products … visible improvement -glowing skin - within a week.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25
This is a really nice gentle retinol. I use it to start out and then use the SkinMedica .5 when I get my skin used to it or I mix it with TSN cerimide cream.

Dermatologist Recommended
I have sensitive skin with mild rosacea on my cheeks. My dermatologist recommended this milder formulation. I use it two to three times a week, and my skin is doing well with it. I’ve noticed an improvement with fine lines and wrinkles.

Don’t let the .25 deceive you
…because this formulation does the trick. Have returned to this product which I kept in steady rotation a few years ago. Even after one treatment, my skin looked better in the morning. I tried once to move up to the .5, but couldn’t handle the flaking/peeling. Even at .25 I am working my way up from 3 applications a week. Potent yet gentler by far than any retinol treatment I’ve tried whether Rx or drug store. Bonus: over time this retinol product eliminates milia. Excellent skin clearing properties.
