Best Retinol product I've used with no irritation
Started using this once every two nights and now trying every other night. My skin looks great! It has gently peeled off some brown acne spots on my cheeks and forehead with no irritation. My skin is beginning to look great.

Undecided
I like the consistency of this. I changed to the .5 from the 1.0 because the 1.0 caused my skin to peel. I'm not sure how effective the .5 is just yet. I do like that it doesn't break me out.

Staff favorite
I was looking for a new retinol product because my previous product was too harsh for my skin. I decided to take a chance on this one because it is listed as Staff Favorite. I'm very pleased with this product. I have super sensitive skin and have had no bad reaction from using this. There is no smell, it goes on smoothly, and it does its job, as I am peeling and shedding the old skin. I'm very happy with the "Staffs" recommendation!!!

Best retinol!
I love this product. It goes on smoothly and doesn't irritate my skin like other retinol products. I've been using it for a couple of years and would definitely recommend it to others.

Not sure it''s working,
After reading other reviews, I decided to order the .5 instead of the 1.0. My skin has had no reaction on twice a week or even every other day, so I'm going to go to using it daily. I'm not sure how long it will take to work. I'm careful to use sunscreen.

Just right
This is perfect, the 1.0 is a little strong for my skin. This is perfect.

Like it so far!
I have only been using this for a month but it does seem to make my skin feel extra soft. I didn't have any problems with flaking or redness from this product either and I use it every single night.

Skin smoother
I graduated from .25 to.50 retinol with Skinmedica. It keeps my skin smooth and soft without irritation. I haven't noticed any tightening.

.50 Strength Just Right!
I started using .50 Skin Medica Retinol a few years ago. So I decided to jump up to the 1.0 strength. It was too strong for me and my skin peeled too much. It did not make me red, or burn, just too much peeling. So I went back to the .50 which is just right!

Good retinol product
Being a mature woman I need a retinol product. I have used this before and it is good. I chose the lower dose because I don't want to irritate my skin. I alternate it with a Vitamin A product and it seems to work. I put on a moisturizing cream over it - or hyaluronic acid. It is a bit pricey but if you get it on sale it is more reasonable. I think, for the money, it is one of the better retinol products offered.

Retinol complex 0.5
Too early to say what results will be but has a nice texture and skin seems a bit brighter and smoother. Had been using a prescribed strength of 0.25 for years but thought it was time to increase. Skin did react a bit and cut down usage to every 3 days until skin calmed down. Am increasing usage to every other night following serum and followed by moisturizer. Am hopeful that with increased use over time skin will continue to improve, but my skin definitely seems to have a bit of a glow and a little more youthful look. For reference I am slightly over 60 years old.

Patience!
I've been using this retinol for many weeks now and I'm so glad I didn't give up! I almost did around the 8 week mark because I thought my skin looked worse than when I started. I simply had to adjust how and how often I was using it. It has helped with skin discoloration and my face just looks more youthful. I use it every other day and usually buffered. I will continue with the .5 until I feel the need to increase the strength. The texture is creamy and really smooth it easily sinks into the skin. The package is perfect to keep the product effective, but it may be a little hard to tell when the product is getting low. In general it's an effective retinol!

Just moved up to 0.5
I love SkinMedica and have been using the Retinol 0.25 for awhile. It's a great product, and I'm moving to the higher strength version. I'm getting past the redness and peeling and expect to fall in love with it by next week!

Wonderful product!
I decided to upgrade to the .50 from .25 I had been using and so glad I did! I can definitely see a difference in my skin with only a slight increase in flaking in the first week as I have sensitive skin with a mlld rosacea. It seems to be helping clear blemishes and my skin already looks brighter.
