Love this product
I have been using this Retinol on my face and neck every other day. I have not had any irritation. However, I had used an over the counter brand for a couple of years. I add a moisturizer over the Retinol also. I highly recommend this product.

Non drying, great for beginner users!
I started using this product once a week, and just moved up to using twice a week. This product is non drying and feels comfortable on your face. I can tell it’s working already but it’s minimal results as it’s only been a month. Using a pea size of product for face at night, after HA serum, then layering moisturizer after the retinol keeps your skin comfortable and reduces the retinol purge.

Good retinol
This is a very gentle retinol, my husband's dermatologist recommended he drop down to this one from a higher, more irritating strength in another brand. His skin is doing so well, and I have decided to use it too. Very non scented, no issues with pilling and does not burn my face or sensitize it.

Like it a lot
I like this product a lot. The reason is it doesn’t make my skin red but it does the job. So the 0.25 is a great starting point if you’re new to retinol.

Good results
Very happy with the 0.25% for my sensible skin. It exfoliates gently, clear the tone of the skin and also good to brake down the pimples.

A must needed product!
This SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 is one product you must have in your regimen! This has helped my redness and uneven skin tone. I won’t go without this!

Great starting strength
I wanted to add a Retinol to my program and decided SkinMedica offered just the right increments to make sure I didn't have any reactions. I used one tube at this strength and have now moved up to the .5

Gentle and effective
SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 is friendly for beginners. I use it 3 days in a row and rest for one day. The result is significant and side effects are acceptable. SkinMedica really find a balance between being gentle and effective. It will be a long term product that I repurchase again and again.

Great product
Love this product. It is definitely the one you want to start with 0.25 if you are just starting out with retinol. Follow instructions and you won't be disappointed!!

Effective Retinol
I very much like SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 and have started my husband using it too. I can tell there is increased skin 'turnover' and I have more color in my face after only about two weeks' use. Since the 0.25 complex did not irritate my skin, I am going to buy 1.0 next time. This is a good product that is easily and evenly applied. A little goes a long way, so it's also cost-effective.

Very Good Product
This is my second time using the product. Have been very pleased with the results. My neck was a little sensitive, but was able to correct this by using a little of my night cream before applying my retinol. I’m very happy & would highly recommend.

Lower Concentrate = Less Peeling
I like this retinol because it is only .25 so I don’t experience the massive peeling after use. I only use it a few times a week.

Gentle enough for everyday use
A retinol gentle enough to use every day, SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 is creamy and doesn't irritate or make skin oily or dry and flaky. Just right for my sensitive skin.

Perfect for new Retinol users!
Disclosure: I think I may have posted about 3 reviews in my life but THIS one was worth the time it took to write! I have tried retinol products in the past (as advised, start slow, make sure your skin is completely dry...blah, blah, blah) and still had issues with super dry skin, discomfort and peeling. I desperately wanted the results that everyone was ranting and raving about but my skin and retinol just didn't seem to get along. After a really bad hormonal breakout I was told to give it another try. I came across the SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 & decided to give it a go one more time. I purchased it and started using that night, I skipped the next day and used it the following day and noticed I had no reaction at all! Fingers crossed, I decided to started using it every night and prayed my skin wouldn't spiral out of control and OH....MY....WORD! My skin got brighter and smoother, it did a great job lightening my acne scars with just a couple of uses!!!! It was SO nice to not have ANY reactions at all!!! NOW I know why people love this stuff!!! It's definitely a new "can't live without" product for me. I plan on using the .25 strength for 6 months before bumping up to the SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.50. I have SUPER sensitive & acne prone skin and SkinMedica has yet to fail me. It has been worth EVERY penny and is hands down, one of my favorite brands.

Good introduction to retinol
Bought this one to try to introduce retinol in my routine. My skin was adjusting alright, so hoping to increase retinol concentration with this brand moving forward

Great mixed with night cream
I react greatly with retinols - irritation & flaking - but have started mixing this in with a small dab of nighttime moisturizer, which has eliminated the problems!
