Can’t wait to order
A friend gave me a sample from her tube to try it out before buying it to see if I liked it. I tried it for the first time a few days ago and I like the way it feels on my face. I can’t wait to order it.

High quality product
This is such a good exfoliating product I have ever bought. I was so surprised at how easily this product can be absorbed once I applied it onto my skin at night. Skin looking to clear and feeling so soft in the morning. So far I only started with using once a week because this is still considered strong for a newbie first time retinol use like me, and my skin started to flaking off a little bit for the next 2 days after the initial application.

Good retinol to start with
I started gradually and built up to using it almost every night. I had no redness or irritation. It has controlled my occasional breakouts. My pores seem to be less clogged.

Brilliant
Never used anything like this before. Start off slow - 2-3 times a week - use a pea size amount. You will have a period when your skin is getting used to it, but once you get through that .. wow .. knocked a couple of years off me lol My skin used to look dull - now there is color a healthy glow - I think it has helped my fine lines but this isn't an over night fix so I am sticking with it. I can't say enough about this it really has made the most difference out of everything i have been using. And I have been using it every night for 1.5 years about to bump it up to the 0.1 .. but only 3 times a week ) Start retinol now .. you will not regret it!

Excellent results
Love this product! Have used two tubes and have seen a noticeable difference in my fine lines and wrinkles and skin texture. You have to work up to being able to use it every night and now that I am there I am loving it even more!

Like it
First time using a retinol. I just turned 28 and am trying to get into a good habit with skin care. I am really liking it-definitely go every other night until your skin can handle it. I tried every night at first (whoops!) which caused some peeling redness on my cheeks. But now I'm able to use nightly.

Non-Irritating
I have used the 1.0 version of this retinal cream and it is too irritating to my skin, especially on the neck area. The 0.5 is much better, I can use it every day, with good results. Hoping I can work up to the stronger version in the future.

Great retinol
I love this retinol because it's not too strong like others can. Usually when I start a retinol, my face gets really dry & starts peeling. I can use this every night & it never irritates my skin.

It works
I can see a difference in my skin already after s couple of weeks. I have had no irritation or redness with the 0.5. I may try the 1.0 strength once I'm done with this one. It is worth its price.

SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5
For some reason my skin was mildly sensitive to this Retinol 0.5 product. I currently use another 0.5 product and have no issue.

Great product but start slow
Start slow. My skin started to peel with only 1x a week and I've been doing that for weeks. Gradually work up.

Very good!
When I use this one, my skin feels so soft. I heard that this one can irritate the skin but nothing happened to me. Just feel so much love. Thanks.

Amazing !
This is a superb retinol. It has done wonders for my mom and I. Like most retinols this is powerful at its 0.5% (and I can't wait to upgrade my mom to 1.0%) it has smoothed out, brightened, erased some wrinkles (on the forehead to be exact). If you have sensitive skin be careful mix it with your moisturizer at first and only a couple times a week because it will burn. My skin is sensitive to retinol and I have worked my way around it because I love waking up in the morning after using it and seeing how it has refined my pores and smoothed my skin literally overnite! On the other hand, my mom wears it every nite and she is not sensitive at all and every time I see her she looks younger and her skin looks smoother! I highly recommend!

Just what my beauty regime needed!
I've used Retin-A in the past when I had acne in my teens and 20's. While the product worked for what it was intended for, to clear my acne, it was harsh and left my skin sensitive and red. Since then, I've avoided retinol products because I feared it would irritate my skin. Recently, my esthetician recommended SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 because, now in my 40's, she said that retinol is a necessary part of an anti-aging routine....which I've heard many times before but kept avoiding! So, I took a sample of this home and I was very pleased. I went on to purchase the larger tube though LovelySkin and I am very happy with this product. It isn't too harsh yet still does the job! My skin is clear and has a healthy glow. I highly recommend!

This cream had done wonders for my skin
I have used other Retinol creams before but nothing has made my skin as smooth as this one. It's potent and works well. Several fine lines have disappeared.

An Exceptional Retinol
Over a few years' time, I have tried several Retinol products. SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 is by far my favorite. This is formulated as a lightweight cream. It is very easily applied and absorbed into the skin. I tend toward oilier skin, particularly in the warmer months. This formulation is perfect as it is not heavy at all. Fantastic product that will become one of my regular purchases.

Good alternative for sensitive skin
This is a good alternative for sensitive skin. I have been using this product for a few months every other day and have been relieved that there has been no peeling or redness. I plan on using this lower dose and then going on to the 1%.

Bye bye lip lines..,
I am so mad, I spent thousands with services from my aesthetician (skin pen & facials in Jan-Aug) and other products she recommends from SkinCeuticals but not once did she tell me to put this product on my upper lip! She recommends this company but never told me to use it for my lip lines! I used it for two weeks now and THE LINES ARE DIMINISHING!!! I put it on AM/PM & wait 30 before putting on serums and lotions. I am 54 and this product will go on my wrinkles daily and my entire face weekly from now on! I am going to move up to 1.0 retinol too. Thank you SkinCeuticals!
