Serious Retinol
I've tried prescription products which were too much for my skin. I had lots of peeling and breakouts. This product gives the same result without the negative symptoms. I did have a bit of mild peeling at first. I cut back the amount used by half and am seeing great results. My skin is softer and is beginning to glow, something I never thought I would see again. I'm glad I bought it.

this product is strong
I got a free sample of this retinol product, and I loved it because it didn't irritate my skin. So I decided to order the regular size, but unfortunately as soon as I used the product, my skin started to peel, so I decided to use it 2 times a week but my skin still peels. I was surprised since I use the free sample. I will keep using it but maybe once a week

Better than Prescription Retinoids!
I had been using prescription retinoids for many years, and through the LovelySkin website noticed that Skinmedica had a 1.0 retinol product that had very good reviews. Already being a fan of many SkinMedica products, I decided to give this one a try. This has since become my all-time favorite retinol product–much more effective for me than the prescription. My skin texture is much smoother, younger and glowing with no unpleasant side effects! Very highly recommend this fabulous product!

Great Retinol
If you are like me and know how important a good retinol is, you will love this one. It's potent, and it works. Use sparingly at first. I have used 2 other 1.0 retinols, and this one is more potent. Use 1/2 as much until you see how your skin responds.

XLNT Retinol Product
I have been using 1% retinol products for several years and this is the best I have ever used. Very effective with no irritation. I love the great results I get from SkinMedica products.

OTC retinol
My dermatologist recommends this OTC retinol because I can’t tolerate RX retinol. I love using this cream makes my skin soft!

Great product
I have used this for about 2 weeks now, and I can see that it does work. I have had slight irritation. I was using the 0.5 before so my skin was probably already used to the ingredients some.

good product
I've been using this product since 2010- it seems a bit stronger than other products, kicks it up a notch with exfoliation. I don't use it every day, as it can cause slight irritation but it really works, exfoliates, smooths, gives skin a glow.

SkinMedica Retinol
You can't go wrong with the help of Retinol for helping to minimize wrinkles and brown spots. I have been using this product since it came out years ago, and I promise you it will work if you do it right and start out slow - I use the 1.0 in the summer months with the Midwest temps then change off to .05 in the winter months in AZ.

Be patient
My skin had to adapt to the retinol 1% cream. For the first week, there was a lot of peeling and dry patches (I thought that was also part of the process for new fresh skin), so I skipped a night here and there and moisturized my skin. I am about 3 weeks into my nightly retinol and there is no more peeling. My face looks fresher and brighter, but I am waiting to see some of my sun spots lighten and hopefully disappear. I am going to give it a couple of months or until I finish the first purchase of retinol.

Excellent product
Noticed a difference in only a few days. I would recommend this retinol to someone who has used retinol before, as it is strong.

Love it!
I use this 3-4 times a week, and I love it! My dermatologist started me on it. I started with .25 and worked my way up as my skin got used to it. I don't use it everyday because my face starts to get too dry in certain areas. I definitely saw a difference in my skin tone and fine lines.

Strong stuff
I have used Rx Retin A and never really peeled. I use this product only twice a week and still peel. Very strong stuff but seeing results!

Strong!
This has so far been too harsh for me to use without redness and peeling, even when using CeraVe night moisturizer as a buffer. I downgraded to the .5, but think the 1.0 is more effective. I''m going to have to build up to it.

LOVE IT
I started using this product last year based on a recommendation by one of the LovelySkin staff. My Goodness. This does not make me peel, but it gives me this nice glow. It is indeed effective and very mild even though potent. worth every penny.

Effective
I've worked my way up to this strength from the other SkinMedica retinols, and I'm not disappointed. I can tell it's stronger by the extra peeling that I'm experiencing, but it's gentle enough not to leave my face red and parched. Another winner from SkinMedica!

This product is amazing!
I noticed wrinkles forming around my lips. After using SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0, I definitely see a big difference. My husband even noticed and commented, "Your skin is looking great!"
