Product Overview

Avene RetrinAL 0.05 Cream is an effective anti-aging face cream.

This powerful treatment cream from Avène skin care will make a dramatic difference in the appearance of mature skin. Two exclusive ingredients work synergistically to transform dull, sagging skin into a firm, youthful complexion without irritation. With regular use of Avene RetrinAL 0.05, you'll see a marked improvement in the health, tone, texture and overall radiance of your complexion.

This cream from Avène skin care uses exclusive ingredients.

Avene RetrinAL 0.05 Creamuses two potent ingredients that work to enhance your complexion. Retinaldehyde, an effective form of vitamin A, significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without causing painful or unsightly irritation. Pre-tocopheryl, a stable form of vitamin E, helps moisturize and protect the skin from free radical damage. Use Avene RetrinAL 0.05 Cream to minimize wrinkles and other signs of aging.

This product is packaged with an airless pump dispenser, which uses a vacuum system to dispense the product. Please see this product's directions for further information on airless pumps.

A great product :-)

I wanted to try a retinol-type product, and this got very good reviews. And now I know why! It's gentle enough to use every night, but I saw subtle improvements in less than a month :-) The scent is very mild, and the cream is rich enough that I didn't need to use a moisturizer afterwards. It caused no irritation or redness, either. I'll use up this bottle, but I've already purchased the Avene RetrinAl 0.1 to step up my routine (fingers are crossed that it's as good as the RetrinAl 0.05!).

Excellent for sensitive skin

I am very pleased with this product. I haven't had any luck with other retinol-type products in the past -- too strong for my sensitive skin -- but this one is both gentle and effective. I love that it is fragrance free too -- which matters a lot.

Had a reaction

I love all Avene products, but I reacted to this one. It broke me out after 1 use. Stopped right away. All other products have been fine.

Great alternative to tret for rosacea skin

Decided to give up on Tretinoin as my skin is too sensitive. In just a couple weeks, I’ve noticed a decrease in redness and healthy skin. WRP

Seems perfect for my sensitive skin!

Have noticed a difference in texture and brightness since using. I use every night without any redness or irritation.

Great Product

This is a non-irritating, smooth, lightweight cream. I give it four rather than five starts because it has dye in it. The red colorant is known to flare acne in some people and it's totally unnecessary.

VERY GENTLE

I was hesitant to try retrinal in general but this one is amazing! So gentle on my skin. I live in a dry climate and I didn't peel or turn red. I used it every night and followed it with a very hydrating moisture. After I finish this bottle I want to try the 1.0. I noticed a difference within 2 weeks.

It’s okay

It’s the first retinol lotion I have tried. I’ve been using it for over a year and I can tell that it doesn’t cause any irritation, it does have a pleasant scent, it does help my skin to feel comfortable. I didn’t help me with crow’s feet issue that a bit disappointing.

Fabulous!

I have been using a retinol of varying concentrations from another brand on and off for the past couple of years, but after doing more research I thought I would try a retinaldehyde. This Avene RetrinAL+ 0.05 is fantastic! I have been using a couple of times per week and am slowly increasing frequency, and have had no redness or irritation, but rather - glowing skin which feels and looks healthier, and even under eye fine lines appear softened already. Reordering for sure!

Nice gentle exfoliation

Good midstep retinol. Not as effective as my nightly prescription retinoid (of course), but a nice adjuvant to use during the day. Will buy again!

Gentle and effective

I switched to Avene's RetrinAL 0.05 just over a year ago (I had previously used another brand's retinol of the same strength for many years) and am very pleased with it. It goes on smoothly and does not irritate my sensitive skin.

Good for sensitive skin

I have very sensitive skin and this product has caused no irritation. That is a huge plus. I’ve only been using it for one month so I cannot yet see any difference in my skin. When this bottle is empty I will try the higher strength.

So far so good

It is too early to review this product as I started using it a few weeks ago. Still trying to my skin to get used to it. Hoping to start using it every day soon and hopefully eventually upgrade to 1.0.

Aveene RetrinAL + 0.05 for those with sensitive skin.

This strength was still a bit too strong for me, wish they offered it in a lower 0.25 %. Can use this strength once a week but need a lower concentrate for daily use.

A Little Bit Disappointing

I was a bit disappointed with this product because I didn't see any permanent improvement with crow's feet. It did seem to diminish them upon application and I think it's moisturizing ability is pretty good. The slightly yellow tint did create a little illumination, just no disappearance of the wrinkles.

Sensitive Skin

I have sensitive skin and have had to give away many different kinds of RetinA brands because they irritate my skin especially the neck area. Avene retinal is the first that I found that does not irritate my neck. It lasts a long time because I use one pump mixed in with my night moisturizer.

Great Product!

Really like this product, works very well on my skin. My skin type is normal and I have had no side effects. As with most retinol products, I only use at night.
