Avene Retrinal 0.1
I must say I was a bit hesitant to order the Avene Retrinal 0.1. After reading all the product information and science on this product from LovelySkin and since I have used prescription strength Retin A, as well as retinol products from many of the high end skin care lines, I decided to give it a try. Wow!! I am very pleased and happy that I did. I have been using it in the evening for a couple of weeks now and my skin loves it! No irritation, goes on elegantly and works well with my other night time regimen. My skin feel smoother and firm, pores are less noticeable, I am very happy!

Mild retinol
The Avene retinol seems to be a milder product, but it is still effective.

Fantastic Retinal!
I have been using this product for 1.5 years as an alternative to Adapalene. I have very sensitive skin and deal with eczema around my mouth, nose, and eyebrow line. Adapalene did it's job well, but I was constantly fighting the irritation around my mouth and outer the edges of my nose, even though I wasn't applying it directly to those areas. I read that retinal could be less irritating and this particular product can be used on the neck and around the eyes, unlike adapalene. I decided to give it a try and I have been using it ever since. I layer a little petroleum over the areas where I have eczema once the RetrinAL has absorbed into my skin as a precaution for flare-ups. I have great glowing skin! I have watch brown spots and soft wrinkles disappear and have a lot of improvement with skin elasticity in my face and neck. I highly recommend this product!

Gentle Retinol
I have been using this product for years. I have very sensitive skin but have not had any reaction to this product. I started out with the lower 0.5%, but then moved to the 1%. I don't have many wrinkles in my face at 57, so I assume it is doing its job. I use it under a moisturizer every night.

Gentle yet effective
I've been a loyal tretinoin user for years, but menopause dried my skin out and tret wasn't agreeing with me any longer. I love the thick texture of this product, and it doesn't stain me mustard yellow like other more serum-like retinaldehyde products I've tried. My skin glows just like with tretinoin but with zero dryness or peeling. This will be a staple for me. I can even use it on my sensitive neck, something I could never do with rx tret, even the mildest formula.

I have used trentinoin, and adapaline and both killed my skin barrier. This product is fantastic. Does the job without causing peeling and breakouts.

Became my favorite!
I have been using this RetinAL 0.1 for over a year now. I'm 32 and have very sensitive and dry skin. I usually use this lotion right before I'm done with washing my face before bed. I do use a moisturizer afterward so to say enhance the effect. I do see the results - my skin is smooth, comfortable and looks so much happier! Thank you Avene!

Gentle yet effective!
I had been using .05% px tretinoin for many years, but wanted to try something a little gentler to use on the neck/décolletage. This Avene product had great reviews so I decided to try it. So far, it seems to be effective and very gentle. I love all Avene products and will keep purchasing this one especially during a LovelySkin sale.

Effective, not harsh
The Avene RetrinAL uses retinaldehyde, different form of retinol, which is more effective as well as easier on the skin. I like the results and that my skin doesn’t get irritated from it.

Avene RetrinAL 0.1
Avene RetrinAL 0.1 is nice anti-aging cream which does not leave a sticky feeling and is absorbed completely. I have a very sensitive, rosacea skin but this is very gentle cream.

Avene Retrinal
This product was recommended by my esthetician. I am extremely happy. No irritation. Other retinol products dried out my skin but not this one. After only a few weeks my face even looks clearer.

Worth every penny
This retinal came recommended by a derm on YouTube. It's beautiful on the skin and goes a very long way. I've finally finished my first bottle. I use gloves to apply and do a pump around my lips, 1 each around my eyes, 1 for between my brows, 1 for my neck and 1 for the chest area. I use this every night now and it WORKS! Also tried the Avene spf 50 intensive protect sunscreen which I use every single day on its own with nothing underneath. It's the bomb for sunscreen. Very moisturizing. At first it was too much but I patted the excess off with a tissue. Try Avene it's so worth it your time!!!

My favorite retinaldehyde because it’s unscented, moisturizing, and effective. I cycle this with my prescription retinoid to keep my skin from getting too sensitive

Highly Recommend
This was suggested by my dermatologist and they even sell it at their office. My skin is extremely sensitive and I’ve never had even the slightest burning with this product. I love it!

Great for sensitive skin
I use this with my lotion at night and have no issues! My skin is very sensitive, and I have rosacea, so I must be careful with what I use.
