.50 Strength Just Right!
I started using .50 Skin Medica Retinol a few years ago. So I decided to jump up to the 1.0 strength. It was too strong for me and my skin peeled too much. It did not make me red, or burn, just too much peeling. So I went back to the .50 which is just right!

Just moved up to 0.5
I love SkinMedica and have been using the Retinol 0.25 for awhile. It's a great product, and I'm moving to the higher strength version. I'm getting past the redness and peeling and expect to fall in love with it by next week!

Wonderful product!
I decided to upgrade to the .50 from .25 I had been using and so glad I did! I can definitely see a difference in my skin with only a slight increase in flaking in the first week as I have sensitive skin with a mlld rosacea. It seems to be helping clear blemishes and my skin already looks brighter.

Game changer!
I've been using this Retinol Complex for three years and can say that it keeps my 50 something skin in tip top shape! Helps to keep skin tone even and age spots less noticeable. Must have in your skin care routine.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5
I love this retinol product. The texture is silky and easily absorbed, also love the fact that it's fragrance free and doesn't contain other unnecessary ingredients.

A product worth trying
I'm very pleased with the 0.5 strength. I'm seeing results without the irritation. It doesn't cause my skin to turn Red or peel like other stronger formulas that I've used in the past but I can tell that it's working. My skin looks healthier because it is smoother and the appearance of fine lines has been reduced. If I feel that I need a stronger version, then I'll try the 1.0 but so far I'm very pleased with the 0.5. If you want the benefits of a Retinol product without the harsh side affects, I would recommend this product.

Good retinol product and fast absorbing.
I was sensitive with Replenix Retinol 0.5 but this SkinMedica Retinol 0.5 is good with my face. I use it every night to calm my acne issue.

This product is actually worth it
The one thing that everyone seems to agree on is that you need to use some form of retinol. After looking into which one to buy I went with this product. Decision was based on the company, that the strength is clearly stated, and the packaging. I haven't tried other brands but this product is great. I notice a big difference in the appearance of my skin. I definitely recommend this product.

Great product
I love this Retinol l!!!! After consulting with one of the estheticians at LovelySkin, I use this in the evening and a Vitamin C in the morning. The 0.5% strength was recommended as a starting point. My skin is not sensitive so I havent experienced any problems. However, after one week, I can see the difference in my skin. It is tighter & my hyper pigmentation spots are lighter. I have used other retinol products & this one is the best. Im 57 and a loyal LovelySkin customer. I also recommend calling & speaking with an esthetician if you have questions.

I am really happy that finally with my super sensitive skin I can use a Retinol product. I reacted to most of the products I used in the past including prescription ones. SkinMedica one is Fantastic and you dont peel crazy....... I apply it every 3 nights for now till my skin get used to it.

Retinol product is essential
Bought this for my mom. I have used the 0.5 and 1.0 strength and think the 0.5 would be a good starting point for her. Nice packaging.

Smoother skin!
At first my skin broke out with the retinol, I think it was just unclogging my pores because now its a lot smoother than before and less oily. Im excited to see the results in 6 more weeks to have a flawless complexion and less lines and spots. Buy this product, its great and worth the money.

New Skinmedica Retinol Complex .05
I have been very happy with the .05 complex. I tried the 1.0 complex but it was too strong for my delicate skin. The .05 causes no problems with peeling or redness and irritation. I believe that Retinol is one of the best anti-aging products, so I am happy I have found a product that my skin can tolerate.

Skinmedica Retinol 0.5
I have used this in the past and loved it. Stopped using it when we moved from a very humid climate to very dry climate and I was having problems with dry sensitive skin. Living in Park City, UT for 2 yrs. now my skin has acclimated and I can go back to my favorite Retinol product. Im starting out with 0.5 and doing o.k for 3 weeks now no irritation or redness. I love this product it makes my mylasma stay under control, my skin feels soft and looks radiant. I love the fact that their is no scent. Great product.
