Gets better the more I use it!
I’m 67 years old and have been using Retinol 1% for over 5 years now. I recently started using the .5% and find that it works very well as I apply it almost every night before bedtime. I receive many compliments on how smooth my skin looks. I believe the .5 strength is just right for me!

Great retinol
I like this retinol a lot, but I prefer the stronger one. It's a great starter! I've upped to the 1.0 and it works better for me. But recommend this one for people who are new to retinol.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5
This product works great. It’s very potent retinol with less irritation. I have been using other skin medica products since 2019. Glad I added this SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5 to my skin care routine.

Great!
I really love this product. It has made the texture and firmness of my skin so much better. I’m pleasantly surprised! I didn’t expect such great results. My skin feels really smooth and my pores are clearer. I didn’t experience any peeling, irritation or breakouts.

Best Retinol I've Found for the Price
I'm 75 & have used dozens of retinol products over the years. This is mild enough that it doesn't cause irritation & has helped reduce age spots.

Can only use very little, major skin irritant
This caused retinol burn after just a few uses. I had to stop applying everything except a healing moisturizer after using it until my skin healed--I have never had such a strong reaction. After healing, I have tried working it into my nightly routine once a week and that has not caused the same issue.

Immediately noticed an improvement
This sounds funny but I was in Ulta the other day after using the retinol complex for a couple of days. A woman walked up to me and raved about my skin and asked if I had just had a facial! (Which I had not!). I think that is about the best testimonial I can give!

Great product
I will continue to use in my anti-aging routine. It is a must in my book and won't try another. A little goes a long way. Leaves my skin soft and new feeling.

Works well
I recently got into retinols. This was a little irritating for my skin at first. I found that it made my skin flaky, but I figured out how to use it. I use a small amount of a very light moisturizer first. I wait until it sinks in (about 5 minutes) and then I apply this retinol. I apply 1 full pump. I let it sink in and then I go over it with a thicker moisturizer. I wake up with really soft skin and no breakouts! My skin looks and feels great!

Just what my skin needed
I really like this retinol. It seems to be helping these stubborn lines and it's very gentle. My skin can be very sensitive and this has not caused any irritation. I'm using it every other night and am pleased with it!

Still on the fence
I’m not sure if I will continue to use this product as after one application it made my face dry and irritated. I will maybe use once a week to build up a tolerance.

works for me
I love SkinMedica and use a lot of their products. Their Retinol 1% however was too strong for me. My skin became irritated and it burned even when only used 3 X a week, so I gave it to my husband and he does great with it and I switched to the 0.5%. Now I use the 0.5% 3X a week and my skin seems very happy, smooth and clear. Start slowly, maybe 2X a week until you know if your skin will react, then you can up it.

Confident it works, but need to pace yourself
I bought this retinol wanting to add it to my skin care regimen. I knew I needed to ease myself into using retinol, but because I had used drugstore retinol creams before, I thought I would be ok with the .5 concentrate. It's strong, and my skin was not prepared! I started with just twice a week and after the second application, a day or two later my skin got blotchy, red, inflamed, and began to peel. It was sensitive to anything I put on my skin so I took a break and let things calm down. I didn't even apply makeup during that time because it burned. When my skin calmed down, I started up again. Went for twice a week and spread the applications out a day longer. Again, after the second application I had the same experience. I'm confident the product will work - but I need to start with the lower concentrate and work my way up, and suggest other new users to do!

Retinol complex
This is a great product. Took me a while to build up to every night. My skin is clearer and I have less wrinkles. It’s easy to use. My dermatologist recommended it. I found it cheaper at Lovely Skin
