It works - gently peels off top layer of skin.
This definitely peels off the top layer of your skin to expose the softer skin. It's pretty strong, so I don't use it every day.

Great retinol
I’ve used different retinol products and I can say that this one works great. I am an esthetician who has used many professional products, I can recommend this one. Just use it with caution because your skin must become accumulated to it.

Love this!
I have very sensitive dry skin and have a hard time with retinol...I'm able to use this product a few times a week!! It doesn't dry my skin and leaves it smooth and glowing.

Excellent, gentle Rentiol
I have been using this for years. I started using it after I was having "adult acne" issues. It has taken care of those issues for sure. It doesn't seem harsh or drying, and doesn't have a bothersome fragrance. I once purchased this from a different website/company for a lower price, but I am convinced it was a "fake" - different color, different smell. Ever since then I have trusted LovelySkin! with all of my skincare products!!!!

No Irritation
My mature skin definitely needs a retinol product and this fills the bill perfectly. I have no flaking, redness, or irritation. I'm even able to use on my neck! This is my companion "go-to," along with the SkinMedica Vitamin C+E. I alternate them daily.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0
I am very pleased with this product. I have used RetinA and it most always makes my face red, a rash and burning. The SkinMedica Retinol Complex does not irritate my skin. Another great product from SkinMedica.

Works great
I started out with the .25, then increased to the .50 now I am using the 1.0 - has been working great with some irritation and flaking; be sure to use sunscreen when outside

This retinol works
The SkinMedica retinol worked well. Seemed pretty strong. I have used another brand before at the same percentage. I would buy again.

Excellent product
Love SkinMedica products. Turned 50 last year and truly believe great skincare has kept me looking younger then my age. Skin is tighter and allows me to not do Botox and still love the way my skin looks and feels.

Amazing treatment!
I’ve noticed a smoother difference and pores smaller, I’m addicted to this stuff! I love SkinMedica anyway but this is my happy serum.

It didn’t take long to see a noticeable improvement in my skin texture. Another great product from SkinMedica and I will definitely be adding to my skin care routine!

Great product
Does the job gently. I experience a small amount of flaking every once in awhile, but it always clears up. Gives my skin a nice texture. I’ve used it for a few years and will continue.

Strong retinol
I have been looking for a stronger retinol. I have tried several brands, but never noticed anything. After my first application, my skin was red and peeling. Follow directions and build up your use. My skin is looking great!

Pretty Strong
This was a big jump up from the 0.5 I was using the 0.5 everyday without a problem. The 1.0 definitely feels stronger. I recommend you cut way back and work up slowly. I mixed a small dot with the HA every other day for a few weeks.

As Good as it Gets!
Skin Medica Retinol Complex 1.0 is as good to better than Retin- A and you do not have a to have a prescription. You cannot use it daily but twice a week wil keep your skin as good as it can be as you age. I cannot say enough good things about this product!
