Effective without the side effects of other retinols
Super product that was recommended by a dermatologist named Dr. Dray, who does many You Tube videos. She is very picky and goes into all the reasons why products are good or not. This product is great for me because it is non-drying, doesn't make my skin flake and keeps my skin clear. Highly recommend.

I Love it!
I've been using RetrinAl 0.1 just for a couple of weeks. I like it a lot. It does not irritate my skin and it spreads easily on my face. So far my face skin looks glowing and brighter. It is too early to see a difference to my wrinkles.

Great for mature skin
I live the Avene RetrinAl 0.1. It great for more mature skin. I use it at night. Strong enough but not too harsh.

The best retinal!
This retinal is simply the best. I have sensitive eczema-prone skin and this is so gentle yet incredibly effective. Noticeable difference overnight, but the results truly kick in over long term use. I'm 31 and have kept all wrinkles at bay so far, including one across my forehead that was appearing before I started using this.

So far loving this product.
So far so good. Easy to apply and blend. No smell. Does not burn or irritate my skin. Easy to mix with a moisturizer if I want to.

Very comfortable!
I switched over from using Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair retinol cream for 6 months to RetrinAL 0.1. Even though Avene's is higher strength it caused no irritation. In fact, I find it to be gentler on my skin and the results over a couple of months now show continued improvement.

0.1 Avene RetrinAL
I really like this product. I am unable to use prescription retinoids due to irritation. I find that I can use this product without any irritation. With continued every other day usage my skin discolorations and fine lines are diminished. I gave only 4 stars for 2 reasons: as the container is opaque - I cannot be sure how much product remains and secondly, it is very thick and difficult to spread. Because of this I feel I use more product than might be optimal.

So far, so good
This doesn't irritate my sensitive skin (I use it on my neck and chest), but it's too early to tell if it's making a difference.

Good Product
You will see results when you follow the instructions. When I began using this at night my wrinkles were very pronounced. I just kept using this and one day I noticed that the wrinkles were barely noticeable. There are very few products that actually perform and this is one of them.

Non- irritating
I loved this product have been a fan for years, it is so easy to use and it makes the appearance of my face brighter and more even tone with out irritating my face.

Gentle, unsure of effectiveness at this point
I've been using this for a few months without irritation. I use it on my neck and chest, and use a prescription-strength tretinoin on my face. Although I haven't noticed a difference in my skin texture yet, I am aware these mild formulations take some time to work. I'll continue using for now and would recommend it to someone who is new to retinols. In general, I've been very happy with Avene's skin care products (the ones that are fragrance free, anyway).

Reverses aging
I first learned about this product by watching YouTube videos by dermatologists. Dr Dray explains how Retinaldehyde is the next best thing to Tretinoin, and perhaps better for some people as there is less irritation. I have been using this to get my prepare my skin for tretinoin. I started on 0.05 and moved up to 0.1. My skin tolerated it without any trouble whatsoever. After a break, I went straight onto 0.1 and found my skin was a little dry and slightly irritated, so I would recommend building up to 0.1. However, that being said, I just applied Cerave Moisturizing lotion for dry skin on top, as recommended by Dr Dray, and it didn't take long to be perfectly fine. Bottom line, this cream works. The difference in the youth of my skin is amazing. No over-the-counter/drugstore cream could rival the results this cream provides. It literally reverses aging at least up to 5 years. All fine lines GONE, and skin looks great. No need for tretinoin, this is doing the job. I don't want to be without it. I pair it with the Retrinal eyes. Just be sure to wear factor 50 face cream during the day, though, because vitamin a makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Hope this helps!! xxx

A favorite in my nightime rutine
My skin is sensitive and prone to rosacea and this product didn't irritate my skin like other retinoids. I love the way it feels and how beautiful my skin looks. It really works. I can' live without it.

The Best!
I have been using this particular retinol for many years. It was initially recommended by my dermatologist when I was in my late 40's. I started with a lower dose and gradually went up to 0.1. I am now in my early 70's and have been told by many people that I have beautiful skin. I attribute this to using Avene Retinol, plus genetics. My mother also used this product for many years. She passed away at 90 with beautiful skin. I highly Avene Retinol. Because of faithfully using this product I have NEVER had to use a prescription Retin A!!!

Perfect for my sensitive skin!
I had been using prescription strength Retin-A and it destroyed my skin, caused allergic reactions - was just awful. I tried this and my skin has never looked better ! Love it - will repurchase!

Great for sensitive skin
Prescription strength retina caused neck irritation, so several months ago I decided to try Avene .05 retinol. It was well tolerated so I purchased the .1 strength. I love the airless pump and how the product glides on.

New for me
So I got this to use on my neck because my Rx was just too irritating to my neck...it hasn't irritated it at all but I also haven't seen any change...I wish I could reviews this when the bottle was done...

Fantastic Product
Avene RetrinAL 0.1 is the best. Less irritating than Retin A but works better than most over the counter Retinol products on the market. I noticed a difference in my skin right away. My skin is brighter, clearer and even-toned as well as more youthful looking.
