My favorite retinol cream!

I have used several different brands of retinol. I like this one the best! It moisturizes my dry skin as well as provides the benefits of combating wrinkles & fine lines.

can't live without

I've been using SM's retinol for nearly 2 years. I've tried a lot of other brands and have used prescription tretinoin and this stuff is an excellent bang for the buck.

Be prepared for flaking

I was apprehensive that stepping up to 1.0 was likely to irritate my skin. I was right. I now use this product only once a week as I noticed skin flaking and turnover was much more pronounced when I used more frequently.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0

This retinol is serious stuff. The retinol in it is number 4 in the list of active ingredient that's why it works for both anti-aging and adult acne. I use this in between Differin 1% every other night. It makes your skin peels and dry, but that's how you know it works. It peels the top layer of your skin, so the blemishes and uneven color of the skin slowly goes away.

Brightening

It is a good one, though it did cause a breakout the first time I used it, but I believe it was because I used too much. Then, as my skin got used to it, I noticed a considerable improvement in the texture of my skin–smoother, more even.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5

I have sensitive skin, and this retinol does not irritate me. I built up to this level by using the lower levels first, and if I get a facial or get a little sun (unintentionally) I may experience some redness, but if I take a couple days off, I am fine. I continue to repurchase this product because I think it is great. My skin glows, and I notice fewer fine lines when using this product.

Retin A

I love this product more than my prescription retina A and see a difference already.

EXCELLENT ANTI-AGING INGREDIENTS

In addition to the Retinol, this product contains outstanding anti-aging ingredients–niacinamide, peptides and ceramides. Plus, the Retinol is not buried towards the bottom of the ingredient list. Highly recommend as 2nd best to a prescription version. However, I have not seen any improvement in my lines and wrinkles. It has, though, improved the texture of my skin. I'm 58 and realize Retinol does not work miracles either!

Beautiful product

This product is absolutely terrific. I've been breaking out on my forehead, and within days of using SkinMedica, my skin cleared up. My skin also become smoother and softer. Definitely will purchase this again.

Skin Showing Some Improvements

I've been using this product for a couple weeks and can see some improvements. Although, I've been told that seeing benefits from a retinol can take up to 12 weeks. I'll keep using it because the small improvements give me hope!

Pretty good

I believe Retinol is a must for all aging skin and this one is good. Compared to the SkinCeuticals 1.0, I prefer the SkinCeuticals over this one. My skin seems less red with it.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0

I have used this product for many years. I feel it has definitely helped with reducing fine lines and wrinkles. I get a slight peel after applying it. Dermatologists say my skin looks great!

Adapt it to your skin type

I like this product but I have to be very careful with it as it dries out my sensitive skin. I've used it for a few years now and have cut back on it to two or three nights a week.

Excellent

When first using Retinol Complex 1.0, my face wanted to use it every other evening. After a couple of months, she decided to allow Retinol Complex 1 to come every evening because it works incredibly well for a healthy face look throughout the daytime.

Awesome

I have been using this twice a week for awhile now. The peeling and redness is no longer an issue. I can finally see an improvement in my tone and texture. I will continue to buy.

Great Product

I have been using the Retinol 1.0 for about 9 months. I only use it twice a week. It is a great product, but it took me a long time to build up to the 1.0. I started out with the .2, then .5, and finally the 1.0 It is a great antiaging product.

Working well so far

I have just started using this product, but I have previously used Retinol products and I can tell this is already working. I am definitely getting redness and flaking but that is because I haven't used any retinol in a while. This is what I want, as it is turning over new skin. I tend to get dark spots, and they are already lightening. Can't wait to see how this works long term.
