Use carefully
I used this too many nights in a row and my skin got irritated. I needed to take it slow as it is potent. It definitely works, but you need to take your time.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5
I had called LovelySkin and talked to Customer Care to inquire what Retinol product I should purchase that would be good for my skin. I previously used Prescription Tretinoin about 6 years ago for a short time. The woman I spoke to at LovelySkin was very helpful in explaining the differences in strength and the product brand. She said to start out with SkinMedica 0.5 and move up the strength gradually. I do love the SkinMedica brand and this was the right strength to start out with. My skin actually feels smoother, so I will definitely purchase the 1.0 formula next time. I appreciate all the knowledge that the employees have with skincare products. I definitely recommend purchasing skincare products from LovelySkin.

Less irritating than others retinol products I had used in the past. Nice moisturizing texture that get absorbed quickly.

Love!
I have to say that I do mix this with my regular facial lotion so it isn’t as drying but I love this stuff! I definitely notice a difference in the texture of my skin!

Wonderful Anti aging cream
This retinol cream is the only one I use. It doesn't cause any burning like I've had with other retinols. It minimizes my fine lines and makes my skin glow. I use it every night. I only use Skin medica it is a scientifically proven skin care line that I've been been using since 2013.

An Excellent Non-prescription Retinol
Even compared with other brands' 1.0 retinols, this is potent stuff! I used Skinmedica's Retinol Complex 0.5 by itself til I was half empty with the lovely airless pump, but now that I've recently begun a tretinoin regimen, I use it one night, followed by 2 nights of tret, followed by a night of just hydrating skin care, followed by three nights of different acids. This has been a remarkable routine for my skin, thanks in part to this great product. Even when I was using this as my only retinoid, my texture thickened and firmed. It takes time, but I was, and am, pleased with the changes it has brought on.

Amazing
Bought this after so many great reviews and am glad I did. Love this retinol, I use it 3-4 times week and my skin is looking so much healthier. I use my night moisturizer after putting this on for extra hydration.

Powerful wonderful product! LOVE
This product makes your skin feel so soft and amazing. Even with the best masks I’ve tried, nothing compares to how smooth your skin feels after using this product. I only use once a week but will eventually use it nightly. LOVE! You won’t be disappointed and it’s worth every penny. It’s lasts forever too.

Great Retinol
I love SkinMedica products. This retinol isn’t too harsh, once your skin adapts. I can definitely tell a difference in my complexion. I use this 3x a week.

Took a few weeks for my skin to become used to this. Using every other day and I have seen a difference already with fine lines and overall smoothness.

A retinol works
I have used a retinol for years, and I find it the only product that actually seems to help fine lines. I like this product too because it is not too drying. I recommend this.

Great Product!
I started out with a lower level and made my way up to the 0.5. This product is amazing and a great way to build up to the higher level retinol by SkinMedica.

Finally!!!!
Finally a retinol product I can use!! I am 52 with extremely sensitive and dry skin. I have been going slow starting with once a week and now twice a week. I’ve had zero bad reactions!! I have had a little peeling, but that just shows it’s working! I would highly recommend!!!!

Excellent
This retinol product is very effective. What sets it apart is the excellent ingredients added to the retinol. Perfect for my combination/sensitive/aging skin, I alternate with the 0.25 when my skin is drier.

Great for your skin texture
I have very sensitive skin but worked up to this slowly. I started with a 0.25 and the switched. I am able to use this every other night. Since clinical studies show this concentration of retinol is more effective I’m glad I could make the switch.

Retinol 0.5 Cream
Definitely does the job!! I have experienced dryness and flaking so am working my way up to using more than once a week. Feel my skin is more even-toned and brighter.

Amazing!
With my dermatologist requesting I up my usage to once daily at night, I have seen my skin becoming smoother. Great product from a great company! Note, I have oily acne prone skin - dermatologist also noted it will help with acne and it definitely is in combination with a glycolic cleanser.
