Great

This is my first re-introduction to retin A. I am starting off slow and this retinol complex hits the mark.

Game Changer

This is a must in your cart if you’re over 50! It has given my skin a smoother look, shrinks pores and reduces wrinkles.

Tried and True

Excellent, gentle retinol for daily use. Delivers results in a fast yet gentle way. Cannot go wrong with this nightly product!

SkinMedica Retinol

I have been using SkinMedia Retinol for many years. It helps with cell turnover and fine lines and wrinkles. SkinMedica is the only brand I trust. I am in my 70s and get many compliments on my skin.

Can’t go without

I’ve tried other serums but I always come back to this. It’s absorbs well and not greasy. Love it

Very strong- start slowly

I have been using retinol formulas for several years so I jumped right in applying this nightly for about 4 to 5 days. My face then got extremely irritated, peeling and burning sensation for about a week after. I have not begun to use it again but when I do I will only start with every couple days.

Perfect concentration

I was using a combination of 1% and .25% retinol. The higher dose was too much for my skin and I would develop peeling and redness. I thought that the .25 was not enough. I am so happy with the .5%. Perfect concentration for efficacy without negative effects!

love it!

I look at myself in a mirror and see a woman 15 years younger only a few days after I started to use this cream - all the stains on my face are gone just in 2 days!

Retinol 0.5

I have been using the Retinol Complex 0.5 for a month now, started with the backs of my hands. Immediately they felt softer and lines not as noticeable! Now using on my face, neck and chest. I spend alot of time outdoors but with sunscreen this could be my reverse aging treatment !

Perfect strength

Skinmedica 0.5 retinol has been a game changer for me and fine lines and wrinkles. I started with the 0.25 strength and until my skin became accustomed to it I just continued and now a year later I’m at the 0.5 level which is in the middle. Regularly every other day I use it and my skin looks amazing.

Great product

Love this product - it is the perfect strength for my skin. I initially purchased the 1.0 product , but it proved too strong for my aging skin. I have done retinol products for years and am very happy with the .5 complex

Will keep using

I've purchased different strengths of this line of retinol, and this 0.5 strength is tolerable when you are trying to gradually increase to the next strength. It goes on smoothly and the amount used is small to show the benefits.

Great Retinol Product

I just increased my retinol from SkinMedica .25 to .5, and it is working well. I was using the .25 every night with no issues and my skin looked better than ever, so I decided it was time to step it up a notch. So far my skin looks great and I have had no irritation. I highly recommend this retinol treatment!!!

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5

SkinMedica products are fantastic and the Retinol Complex 0.5 follows suit. It smooths on nicely and doesn't cause excessive dryness. I use it every night and it keeps my skin feeling hydrated and looking bright. It's a great retinol product.

Hit !

SkinMedica products are a hit or miss for my skin. Thankfully, this was a hit! I love the way it feels and how easily it spreads. It doesn't burn and after the product finishes, I will purchase the 1.0

Love this retinol product!

I usually order 1.0 and ordered 0.5 by mistake, but I still like it and will remember to be more careful when ordering next time.
