Too Strong for Me!
I ordered this product after SkinMedica discontinued the Tri-Retinol Complex (.65 retinol) I had been using for several years. It was too strong for my sensitive skin and I had to exchange it for the SkinMedica .5 Retinol Complex. I have had no problems with this strength and am happy to be back on a good retinol product. My skin is happy again!

Staple Product
This is one of the best retinol products i have used. It is not as harsh as Obagi Tretinoin Cream and more creamy. Ladies do not put this under your eyes you will regret it ...just a heads up if are new to this product..

Must have for nightly routine
I was using the 0.5 Retinol but then could tell my skin kind of plateaued, so when I was done with that package, I moved up to 1.0 and it made a big difference- with NO irritation. I was so glad for that because I have very sensitive skin and cant tolerate any of the prescription Retin A products. This produces excellent skin turnover without redness or peeling. It is one of the most important products in my routine- it makes that much of a difference!

Good Product for Aging
Many dermatologist have told me to use Retinol as an anti-aging cream, so I have continually tried to work a Retinol cream into my weekly skin care routine. I have tried many variations of Retinol, but most are too harsh for my skin and cause excessive dryness and peeling (I think this is mainly due to the combination of other products I use as well but love and want to keep using). This product has replaced Skinmedicas no longer available Tri-Retinol Complex which I had been using for a few years. I had used Tri-Retinol because it was not as strong and caused less peeling than other Retinol creams. I have used Retinol Complex 1.0 for about 2 weeks and do like the results. I have given it 4 stars instead of 5 because it does cause more dryness and peeling than the Tri-Retinol Complex, but the dryness and peeling lasted only one day (whereas with other Retinol products I peel for several days). After the peeling is done, the results are great.

Love this product
Skin medica retinol has significantly improved discoloration due to sun and hormones. My coworkers have noticed the changes. I have been able to dramatically decrease the amount of makeup to hide blemishes and the uneven tone.

Love this stuff!
I have used this for a couple of years (it used to be called Retinol Complex ES). It makes my skin really smooth, firmer, helps with discoloration, and just softens the lines on my face. I used the lower dose first and then moved up to this. I didnt get any irritation from it, just a little dryness which went away after using it for a couple of weeks. This is a great alternative if you dont like Retin A.
