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.

Skinmedica 0.5
Am on my second bottle and still get some peeling. I tried so many retinol creams before nothing compares to this one. Give it a try and you will be happy.

SkinMedics .05
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.

SkinMedica Retinal Complex 0.5
Excellent product. It's helping to restore my skin and making dark spots lighter. At age 69, I can't expect miracles, but I do see some improvement.

Gentle and effective
This retinol creme doesn’t irritate or dry my skin out. I use it every other night. I tried to 1.0 and it did bother my skin—too strong. It lasts a long time too. I use it in combo with a C E Ferulic serum most of the time.

One of the best
I have sensitive skin and have never been able to use a medical grade Retin-A. So I have been using the .25 for a while. I’m using the .50 three times a week and working up. Doesn’t irritate me like regular Retin-A and in a nice base. I’ve always felt SkinMedica was a very good brand and have not been disappointed.

Great product
Works well. One pump is all you need. A bit drying as that can be expected from retinol use. Hydrate well on night of use. SPF daily when using retinol as with AHA. Will repurchase
