Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 Refining + Anti-Aging Night Cream
I live this for my neck to help firm & tighten@
With age, comes the need for tretinoin on your face & neck. Lol I found this strength to be perfect for my neck and up to my jawline. I use it after a serum so, I put it on 2nd because I don't want my neck to get dry. This strength is just right for my neck without irritation and I wake up with a firmer & more smooth neck! Thanks Alex at LovelySkin for your help!

Gentle, but effective.
I use this every night before moisturizer. It never dries out my skin. I noticed a more even skin tone after about a month of nightly use.

Love the brand, not so much this product
I don't know why but this product wasn't for me. I have very sensitive skin so it has been a struggle finding the right retinol that will not cause a bad reaction. I do love SkinCeuticals brand!

Starting slowly
I decided to try this milder retinol cream because I have tried greater strengths and always stopped due to the flakiness that occurs. So far my skin has tolerated this much better, although I am working my way up to using it twice a week.

Try it!
Love the look of my skin in the morning after adding this to my night routine, cleanse, .03, then moisture. No harsh effects as most retinols are

Effective without redness
This is my first non prescription use of retinol and the results are so much better than any prescription I have ever used and it doesn’t leave my skin red, sensitive or flaky. Helps smooth fine lines and shrink pores.

Wonderful Retinol Product
This is a go-to for me. It's got a lovely creamy consistency and is quite easy to smooth smaller amounts into my skin. I love and trust SkinCeuticals so this is a no brainer.

Excellent
SkinCeuticals is my go-to brand. This retinol is very effective! I noticed results within a day or two! Retinol was NOT abrasive and didn’t leave me too sensitive with peeling skin. Lines have faded and skin looks remarkably younger. A true game changer. Will buy again!

Great Product
This is the first time I've been able to use Retinol... .3 starting point worked! Have tried stronger product in the past and did not like the dryness. Definite improvement in my skin without harsh irritation... slowly but surely seems the route to go! Now applying 3 times/week and plan to increase slowly.

Quick Results
I have sensitive skin but really wanted the benefit of a retinol product. I’ve worked up to every other day without any problems. I’ve seen some softening of lines and my pores have shrunk in some areas. Highly recommend.

SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 Refining + Anti-Aging Night Cream
Very effective at exfoliating my skin and not as harsh as some other retinols I’ve tried.

SkinCeuticals Retinol
I have been using this product for 3 months. It is light, non-greasy, glides on easily, and absorbs quickly. It helps to brighten skin and I will continue using this nightly.

Must have
I’m on my mid 30s and I feel like retinol is a must have. No wonder retinol is called the “holy grail” of skin care. I started resuming the use of retinol, specifically this low strength from Skinceuticals recently after doing a bunch of research/ watching dermatologist do their reviews of retinol. Please don’t make the same mistake that I did when I first started using retinol. Back then all I keep hearing was “retinol is good for your skin” as it speeds up the cell turnover process. Without doing any research or advise from providers I went full force, I used the maximum strength 1.0 with the mindset that “the stronger, the better”. I suffered from what they called “retinol dermatitis”. I have a sensitive/ acne prone skin. I was using the maximum strength every night. In a matter of few days, my face turned red with heavy peeling and worse breakouts. I stopped using it and spoke with a provider. I got traumatized from using retinol and told myself I will never use it again! After recommendations from friends that have glowing skin and watching reviews from dermatologist online on how to use retinol properly, this time I came prepared and gave it another shot. I started with the lowest strength from Skinceuticals, specifically this 0.3 dose. I prep my skin with a mild cleanser followed by a “pea size” amount of retinol then apply triple lipid restore cream. Yep, all you need is a pea size (please don’t same mistake I did). I use the retinol initially once every 3 days then now every other night. Omg, my skin has never felt so great! I can notice the difference already and will continue using it. My breakout is lessening and my skin appears smoother. Overall condition of my skin is better! For now, I will stay with this strength and keep using it every other night.

Good for Sensitive Skin
This lower-strength retinol is great for people with sensitive skin! In the winter, I typically can't use retinols at all because they make my skin red and itchy. I haven't had any problems with this one, and my skin looks great! I will probably go back up to the 0.5 strength again for the summer but I am so happy that I discovered this product!

Excellent Retinol Night Cream for first time users.
A mild retinol cream for beginners that still does its job at renewing your skin cells.

A MUST!
What a product: I chose 0.5 as a medium concentration, and it does wonders when it comes to skin discoloration, large pores & fine lines with regular use! Make sure you start gradually: twice a week then every other day, & don’t forget sunscreen whether you live in a cold or hot, dry or humid weather conditions! Also be careful not to buy this product alone: Hyaluronic acid & a super moisturizing cream are a must while on a retinol course! I personally use it with the HA Intensifier & Triple Lipid Restore cream, which I also posted reviews about!
