Reviews For SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 Refining + Anti-Aging Night Cream
Filtered by: Clear Filters
Skin Ceuticals Retinol 0.5
I used to use the 1.0. Then, after quite some time, it was too strong for my skin (apparently, I was not the only one, as the company reformulated their retinols). I had to take a break from retinol altogether and then slowly build up. First, using the newly formulated 0.3 for one tube–all good–and now the newly formulated 0.5, still all good. I am very happy to be able to use retinol again. It makes such a difference on your skin. It diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, reduces pore size and fades dark spots, increases cell turnover and even promotes collagen. Just be careful not to get it too close to your mouth corners, as that area is very thin.

Magic
I love this stuff. I have used it for over a year, and while I've upgraded to the 1.0, that can tend to make me break out because it is maybe too powerful, or maybe it has an additive my skin doesn't like. I do use the 1.0 for my chin area as it can handle it and the 1.0 works better to smooth that area more aggressively. But the .5 has been magic for the rest of my face in that it is giving me the benefits of a retinol on a lighter level AND keeping my face clear! I use a mild face wash, a toner, apply SkinCeuticals Resveratrol BE and then this .5, and my skin is pretty blemish-free.And, ANY blemish that was starting or that I may have tried to get rid of/left a mark is almost invisible by the next morning. The tube lasts forever because you need so little. I do put SkinCeuticals AGE cream on over it as well to prevent my 49 year-old skin to keep from drying out.

Decent Retinol
I chose the 0.5 to start and after a few weeks using it at twice a week, I've stepped it up to three times a week. I have some slight flakiness on certain areas of my face that is mainly around the nose and lips. I use this all over and it's a bit puzzling that my whole face hasn't experienced that. I think I'll step up to 1.0 when this is done before I make a final decision.

I’m back at it
I used this retinol a couple of years ago, had great results and then I stopped thinking that it would stay that way. Over time, my skin went back to its previous state so I decided to start again, so far so good!

0.5% NIGHTLY RETINOL
Love this product! This is the ONE PRODUCT YOU NEED IN YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE! I use the 0.5% due to my sensitive skin. It helps with my wrinkles and redness and is absolutely a must have! It is very drying so you WILL NEED a great moisturizer to follow it up with.

Too potent for me
I don’t know if it’s user error, but when I used this product every few days, I didn’t see any difference in my fine lines, so I tried using it nightly. It burned my skin badly. A bit gun shy to try it again.

Gentle Anti-aging
When I bought this product I was looking to add an effective, yet gentle retinol product to my nightly skin care routine. This cream goes on smoothly and absorbs fairly quickly. No harsh side effects at all. I have oily to normal skin. Very pleased!

So far so good
This is the perfect solution for someone who cannot use prescription strength retinols. Currently, I am using twice a week. Did have peeling in the beginning, but now it appears my skin has adjusted, so I will probably begin to use 3 nights a week. Love it.

Does the job!
I’ve only used it for 2 weeks and I only use it 1x per week because it is strong and makes my face peel with just 1x per week.

Does what it’s supposed to do
I got this to help prevent hyperpigmentation prior to a laser treatment. Seems to be working for cell renewal.

Retinol for sensitive skin
I love this retinol because I have very sensitive skin and can't use a prescription strength retinoid. I started out using it once a week and increased usage over the course of six months.

Nice!
This product was recommended by a health care professional, and it was less expensive here than at the office. I have been using it a few weeks and can tell a difference. I plan to purchase the stronger retinol after this!

Great!!
I’m new to using retinol cream and didn’t know where to begin. This product is great and a must-have to my skin care routine! It’s gentle enough, yet effective. My skin is soft and bright! Will continue using it!

Surprisingly good!
I’m always skeptical about retinols. I get irritated and very flaky. I decided to try this as it is time released. I did flake and peel the first two weeks, but haven’t since then. I started by using 2x/wk. now up to 3x/wk. My skin looks better textured and pores are smaller.

Effective
Skinceuticals Retinol feels nice on my skin and currently I have to use it once a week as my skin peels for a few days. It smells great and soft on the skin.

SkincCeuticals retinol 0.5
I use this product 2X weekly on my sensitive, older skin. It works so well to brighten and gently exfoliate. Love this product and consider it an important part of my skin care routine.
