SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0
Using Retinol 1.0 has improved the appearance of my skin by diminishing wrinkles. I apply it every night as part of my skin maintenance. It does not make my skin raw or sore like some products. I would recommend it.

Another great SkinMedica product
This is a great retinol product. I've been using it every day with great results. Follow the directions and work your way up to using it every day.

Great for acne!
I am only in my mid 20s and have been using prescription retinoids for a while now to control cystic acne. I have recently switched to the SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 and it works amazing for half the price of going to the doctors and paying for a prescription. It is also a plus for anti-aging. It never hurts to get a head start taking care of your skin. I never got any irritation, even with my sensitive skin, but I did switch over from a prescription strength retinoid. This retinol is amazing and very affordable.

Better than a prescription
Works just like a $90 generic prescription of retin A, but without all of the peeling and redness. I love it and have used it off and on for over a year.

skinmedica retinol complex 1.0
I was using Retinol Complex .5 and thought that I needed a higher dose. So I ordered Retinol Complex 1.0. I love it, it is stronger so be careful of daily use. Im glad I ordered this dose.

Best Retinol Ever
I have tried a few other retinols, but I developed red burn marks all over my face, even if I only used them once or twice a week. I tried the SkinMedica retinol since I use other products in this line and it fabulous. It has given me a wonderful complexion, without the redness or burning. In short order I was using it four and five times a week.I will stay with this one, it works wonderful and feels good on your skin.

This is a serious Retinol product
I have been using the SkinMedica Retinol 1.0 for a couple of weeks and before that the .5. My face peeled and so I know this is a serious retinol product not like the drugstore varieties. I have used a doctor prescribed retinoid and it was very irritating. This one is different. It initially caused some changes in my skin (peeling) but now it is easily tolerated and I can see some plumping occurring around the folds of my mouth area which were starting to sink-in slightly. I am very excited to have found this line of products and feel that they are serious skincare. The other thing I must mention is that the product is fragrance free and there are no added potential irritants which I like in my skin care.

The Best
I have been using all of the SkinMedica line for awhile now and would not go to bed without using the Retinal 1.0 every night. With using it for so long can use every night. It is the best some need to build up to this strength but I didnt.

The best
As expected Skinmedica makes a top notch retinol. Ive used several, and prescribed retin A, but this is probably the best Ive used thus far. I have to use it intermittently, because I do get a lot of peeling if used too frequently, but it works so well in conjunction with their other products, my skin positively glows.

At 51 a first time Retinol user! Great Results!
Here is the fact. My skin is 51 years old. But, this product is fantastic! This is the first time I have ever used a retinol product. I had to slow down for the first week and use it every other night and very sparingly followed by a bit heavier evening moisturizer. The results are smoother skin. My makeup wears much more evenly and my skin looks fresh. It has not turned back the years, but it certainly has improved the epidermal texture of my face, neck and décolletage.

I have tried all different brands that contain retinol 1% and .50%
But I will say hands down this is one of the best products Ive tried. I will continue to purchase for many yrs to come. Does not make my skin oily, leaves it felling great along with the other products I use. Im a big fan of skinmedica products. I also use some skinceuticals as well. Hope this helps any skeptical people about trying this product.

Fantastic product
I absolutely LOVE this product. I have been using it every night for one month and I can see the difference. It is my favorite. Texture is smooth and I have no problems applying my night cream afterwards. It is strong if used every night so apply it every other day if desired.

Nice!
Ive used this for almost a year now. Its great at turning over the cells. I do have to take a break periodically, though, because it causes my skin to "shed" heavily. I know thats what I want, but sometimes I take a day or two off to give my skin time to rest.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 10
SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 seems a bit stronger than the SkinMedica Tri-Retinol Complex ES I previously used. So far, not redness or peeling with nightly use. My dermatologist said it will help soften but not remove the wrinkles around my lips (former smoker) & should prevent further facial skin damage.

Been using it for over a year
I like to try things out long run before I write anything about it. I can tell you that the product works otherwise I wouldnt keep using it. You do however have to ease yourself on to the product. Cant start using it daily when you start off. Started with every 3 day for the first month. Then increased to every 2 days. Now I can use daily. I think if you have sensitive skin you may want to test out on small area first. Great product and my skin glows and I get complements all the time.

Love it ! Love it ! Love it !
My dermatologist sells this, so I was glad to purchase it at a discount during the July 4 sale. It works beautifully, but it is powerful. If youve never used retinol, then start with the 0.5 strength. It makes my 55 year old skin smoother and wrinkles are much less noticeable. After a few months of use, I can now wear a BB cream instead of foundation. Its the best you can purchase without a prescription, and for me, it works as well as prescription strength creams. You must use it regularly to achieve the desired results. Like any retinol, if you stop using it, your skin reverts back to its original condition. There are no one tube miracles out there. Any dermatologist will tell you it takes maintenance to keep your skin glowing!
