with two applications completely peeled my skin
I have been using retinol for many years and decided to change brands and use this product after checking a review. I used it twice an my face skin completely peeled for several days. I had to buy a CICA product to renew my skin and it took almost two weeks to stop peeling. I haven't tried the product again because I don't know if the peeling was normal or is it an allergic reaction.

Strong but gentle retinol
I moved up from .5 to 1.0 retinol without flakiness or irritation.

Effective Retinol I Rotate with Other Retinoids
I like to vary my retinoids and this one does well in rotation of these. I trust this brand.

Retinol Complex
Have not used as frequently as I planned as of yet due to home emergency but still saw positive results in the short time period of use. Looking forward to starting my anticipated regular use. Have used this on the past with good results.

Gentle
This is my first 1.0 retinol and so far I'm really liking it. I started on a .5 from another brand and experienced peeling and redness. This seems more gentle and easy on the skin with no adjustment period.

Great Product!
My skin looks much smoother than prior to using this product. I have even had people ask me what I use and what I've changed in my skincare routine.

Good Product, but pricey
I liked this product, but I prefer a tretintion precription. The price is definitely better.

Improved skin texture
I’ve been using SkinMedica Retinol for years and the number one benefit is smoother skin texture. I started with .5 strength twice weekly and now use 1.0 every night. It’s affordable and works very well.

very strong retinol
Perhaps I should have gotten a lighter dose of this retinol product. I am not new to using retinoids and I wanted to try this because it was more affordable than some others. My whole face peeled and it took a little over a week to recover. However I will say, after the peeling was over, my face looked fantastic! I recommend started with one of the lighter doses.

Excellent Product
Pleasantly surprised by this product. It has a strength to it for over the counter retinol that similar products don’t match. I use it every other night. I hope to work up to nightly. I do have very sensitive skin and this works for my skin. I did get a slight peel but not in a lizard sort of way. I know it is working to renew my skin. The peeling has now subsided. Will repurchase.

The Best Retinol
I have used this product for years & absolutely love it. I have tried to use cheaper retinols & more expensive they just don’t compare. The others doesn’t seem to have the same result of brightening smoothing making lines less prominent

This product works magic to tighten, smoothe and greatly improve skin texture- yet gentle enough to use nightly! Excellent!!

Great for aging skin
This is a good reliable safe retinol without the harsh effects. However, I strongly recommend starting at a lower dose .25 and working your way up to the 1.0 to avoid side effects. Unless you have already used a medical grade retinol before. It’s important to use a lotion afterwards to avoid peeling or dryness. Great product for aging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and pigmentation. Works well with other skin care products. You only need a pea size pump to cover your skin. Be sure to absolutely wear a high spf when using this or any actives on your skin to avoid sun damage or worse, the big C! Will purchase again as I’ve been using this line of products for well over 10 years and it shows. Best ~

Effective and strong
I wanted to up my retinol game as my current favorite wasn’t giving me any results anymore. This stuff really works! I’m getting some mild peeling but my skin looks great. I do have to be careful to avoid getting it on my neck because it really makes it itchy.

Love this product!
I have been using SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 for years and am very pleased with the benefits. My skin is more youthful, has fewer fine lines and wrinkles, and I look younger than my actual age. I intend to age gracefully and SkinMedica Retinol Complex helps me do so in style!

Wonderful results!
I adore Skin Medica's products. I was using their 0.5 retinol and decided to step it up a notch. I'm delighted with the product!
