Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 Refining + Anti-Aging Night Cream
Reduces pore size!
I'm on my second tube of this and absolutely love it and won't ever be without it! My skin is incredibly smooth after application, and I can feel and see the difference when I wake up in the morning. My pore size has significantly reduced, which was the main reason I initially tried a retinol cream. A little goes a long way, and a little tip about the metal-type tube; squeeze from the bottom and gently flatten it against the counter as you use it. I didn't pay attention with the first tube and ended up with some waste, but this time I'm getting every last drop! Be sure to ease your way into a pure retinol and start with the .25% first, especially if you have sensitive skin. Now that I've been with it a while, I use it 3-4 nights a week.

Reliably does its job!
I have used this product for a couple of years. It reliably causes my skin to exfoliate about 3-4 days after I apply it. It is not a severe peel but a definite peel which is what I need to keep the pores from getting clogged and the keratin from accumulating under the skin. I have faith in this brand, Skinceuticals. I have good results from many of their products.

Not as good as other SkinCeuticals products
This was drying and I didn't see results. I love other SkinCeuticals products so wanted to give this a try.

The best retinol product out there!
Skinceuticals retinol .5 works wonders on my skin. I use it at night along with the HA intensifier. My skin feels so smooth & I’ve definitely seen a difference in skin texture and appearance after a few weeks of using. I will definitely repurchase!

Great for experienced users
I finally stepped up to 0.5 after using 0.3 for a year. No irritation or issues so far. And even better results!

Didn't get the results I wanted.
I had a slight reaction to this (redness, dry flakiness) that was to be expected. However, with continued use I didn't really see results to justify either the reaction or the price.

Quickly Toned Down Acne Scars
I noticed quickly - within 2-3 days of using it - that it toned down my acne scars. It's a subtle difference but I think with time, it'll help scars go away quickly. It did make my skin super dry though - I made the mistake of using it every night and had to go to every other night because my skin got flaky. But once I starting doing every other night, the dryness and flakyness stopped.

So far so good!
I have been using it for a short time (twice a week) but so far no redness or irritation and seems to be effective since my skin is a bit more even and radiant.

Beautiful
I'm 58 years old and my skin has never looked better. I use this product twice a week and it works wonders for my skin. It takes about a day for the sloughing to begin and when it's done my face looks so fresh and soft. I love it. I've also received compliments about how good my skin looks.

Love it!
This is a great exfoliator. It works amazing on my sensitive skin. It helps keep skin fresh and cells turning over.

My to-go-to Retinol
I have tried almost every Retinol there is on the market over the the last decade, but this one is by far my favorite. I have been using 0.5 Retinol for many years now and can highly recommend it. I have also tried 1.0 but it was a little too intense for my skin. Love the brand.

On the fence
I feel like this product may be a little too strong for my face, but I can totally see where it may help others who have acne and or severe hyperpigmentation. I am going to continue using it 1-2 week and see how it goes, or may downgrade to the less potent option.

Easy, no fuss product
I have really come to like this no fuss Retinol cream! Even the smallest amount spreads easily across the whole face. I sandwich it between a moisturizing serum under it and a fairly rich cream on top of it. There has been no irritation or flakiness for me whatsoever, even though I do use it every night. Will progress to the 1.0 strength next.

The best!
This is the only retinol recommended by my skin care professionals. I would definitely recommend working your way up from the .3 concentration! Even after a few weeks, I can feel the difference in the texture of my skin.
