Works and helps sensitive skin
I am prone to breakouts with products, but since I have started using medical grade skincare exclusively I have had far fewer issues. This product is also a winner with my sensitive skin. I am in my late 30’s now and want something stronger than my first retinol product with Neutrogena. I also have noticed a difference with smoothing my skin out between my eyes. I have wrinkles starting now, and I wanted that one to be less harsh. I think it’s helped. I noticed mild redness and flaking in one teensy spot, but it has already passed after a couple of days.

Best for sensitive skin
I am in love with this product (Obagi Retinol .5). I am Eastern European, super sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts under random circumstances and to date I have not been able to use a Retinol cream or gel without major side affects like red irritated skin etc. That is until now. I've used this cream for 2 months now without any skin irritability, and it has worked magic on it. My random acne if it comes at all leaves within 24 hours. There are no longer brown or red spots left behind where acne had been like in the past. I am in love, ordering a new tube.

This is a great alternative when I want to take a break from using Tretinoin.

Changed my skin routine
I have been adding retinol to my skin care routine since January 2019, and I am loving how it changed my skin already! I am very prone to breakouts, and they have been decreasing slowly but steadily. I haven’t seen too much difference in my pore size, but I’ve only started using Obagi 0.5 since March (first started with neutrogena), so I am hoping to see results in the next couple of weeks. As soon as I finish this tube, I will start the 1.0. I did get some dry and flaky skin after about 4 weeks of using the product (I was using it every night), so switched to every other night for now. Make sure to moisturize your face after.

Good result just with 3 applications
I bought this one for my teenage daughter. My daughter only used it for 3 times and we can see the difference already. Her acne is less red and healing. So happy with Obagi retinol 0.5!!

The slow release in this formulation is both gentle and effective
The slow release in this formulation is both gentle and effective. I have tried lower dosage retinol before (but not slow release) and had issues with aggressive peeling and irritation. However, with this product I was able to work up to nightly usage in about a week with no issues. My skin is absolutely glowing now! I have visibly less apparent pores and fine lines. I am so happy I tried Obagi retinol.

Wonderful product
This is one of the best skin creams I have ever used. It is not irritating, and smooths, plumps and clears the skin amazingly well. My skin was used to a lower retinol percentage when I started using this, and this cream really improved its texture and luminosity and made me look younger.

Obagi Rules!
Used in tandem with Obagi #5 blender, Obagi 0.5 will give you results almost immediately. Skin will look brighter, lighter and more even toned. I use this about 3 nights a week, sometimes more. When my skin does get too dry I don't use the duo that night. People always ask what my skin care regimen is, and I tell them. Obagi is great!

Favorite retinol
I have tried many retinol products over the years and have ended up with severely reddened skin or non-stop breakouts. I had pretty much given up until I found this retinol. It is definitely working (flaking for the first few weeks and now smooth, glowing skin!), but it has never caused extreme irritation. So glad I found this amazing product!

Obagi 360 Retinol
I use Obagi Retinol 360 every night before bedtime. It has helped my skin virtually stay wrinkle-free into my 50's.

Small dab packs a powerful punch!
Obagi never disappoints! I use the Obagi360 Retinol 0.5 three evenings a week. This product plays a big part in my facial routine, and my face shows it! Retinol can be harsh for some faces, but my dry 60 year old face LOVES this product. I highly recommend the Obagi360 Retinol 0.5 even for those who haven't had a good experience with a retinol product. The affect the Obagi product has on skin is something worth trying! I know you'll love the results.

Very gentle retinol product
Based upon my dermatologist's advice, I used Skin Medica 0.25 Retinol Complex for at least a year with no problems. I was told that I could up the product gradually, so I switched to 0.5 and immediately had itching and redness and my lips became very chapped, although I'm not sure what actually caused the lip chapping because I didn't use it on my lips. At that point, I decided to try the Obagi 0.5, and I've had no skin problems whatsoever, using it every other night. When I need a refill, I plan to try the 1.0. I still have difficulty sometimes when using the Obagi pump tube, because I forget and want to squeeze the tube out of habit, but the pump actually works very well.

Favorite retinol product to date!
This is the first retinol product that I’ve used that has resulted in really, truly noticeable and visible improvement in my complexion. I’ve been using various retinoids (retinaldehyde, retinol, HPR, prescription tretinoin) consistently over the past few years primarily for their long-term, preventative benefits. Some didn’t yield much in the way of visible results, others caused irritation. I’ve tried cosmeceutical brands and the gamut of the retail spectrum. With Obagi, for the first time, I’m seeing the refinement in texture and overall clarity of tone that I’d always hoped to see with other retinoids. I’m also able to use this every night without peeling or discomfort. With any topical, I feel management of expectations is important. That said, I’m so pleased to be seeing the results that I am with the Obagi retinol. I will happily repurchase!

Like Retin A but much easier on my skin!
This product is like Retin A but without the dryness, redness, flakiness and irritation. I apply once nightly and have seen improvements in my skin. I would recommend to anyone with sensitive skin as it's working for me.
