SkinMedica Retinol complex 1.0
This product is better than most retinols. I would like to see it in a higher retinol amount.

Makes a difference
I started with .05 and graduated up to nightly at 1.0. Retinal is a miracle. Over time, it smooths the skin of little imperfections. Just ordered my second bottle. I’m a believer.

Probably will not buy again
I love the creamy consistency of this product but it does seem to sting my face a little, even after following with good moisturizer. I have used Replenix Retinol 10x for years and it never has given me any problems, although the consistency on that product is not as nice.

easy on my aging skin
I love this product! So many retinol products are too harsh for my 60 something skin. This works perfectly.

Effective Retinol!
I use this 2 - 3x per week and it still makes me peel! It's just a superficial peel which I don't mind at all and my skin is bright and baby smooth. I probably don't use it enough to get adjusted, but I like to alternate with glycolic acid products as well. I find mixing it with a drop or 2 of water helps it spread a little easier as it's a thick lotion and I don't like to "tug" my skin. I've tried many, MANY retinols/retinals in the last few years and this is the only one that gives me visible results so I keep coming back to it. I have both the .5 and the 1.0 and I stick with the 1.0 now and deal with a little peeling now and then. It's well worth it!

Have tried several different brands. Once I started using this product, I found my favorite. I have been using now for 2 years. Existing age spots have faded, no new spots.

Best anti-aging product
I’ve been using for over a year. I was working for a derm when I started so amazing discount, thought why not. WOW. At 51 my skin looks 30. Texture, tightness, brightness, bounce all has come back!! I added the skin medica TNS Advance, and sunscreen!! These are a must also for a great regimen. I will continue this until I’m senile. I learned a lot working for derm…. The Sun is the devil. Protect yourself at all costs starting at an early age!!!

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0
The SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 is a concentrated cream that works well for me to encourage cell turnover, fade dark spots and minimize fine lines. I usually apply a moisturizer at the same time and this cuts down on excessive flaking. Using this I strategy, I can apply the product every other night before bed. I may increase the strength but have been using the 1.0 concentration for some time. And I use sunscreen during the day!!! Highly recommend!

It Works!
This retinol works well and is not as harsh as some because of the emollient in its formula. Word of caution...if you are not used to a retinol, be sure to start with the .25 or .5 strength and work your way up to 1.0

Highly effective!!
I absolutely love this product! Not only is it highly effective to use on your face, it is actually an excellent cream for your neck! After applying it on my neck at night, I noticed a difference in deep wrinkles and texture the next morning! I use it every other night because it is extremely drying. After application, I wait 15 minutes to penetrate into the skin, then I apply my face oil, to prevent dryness.

Smooth!
I love Skin Medica’s 1.0 Retinol! The very first use and I woke with smoother skin. I have nice skin but at 58 needed an extra bit of help and this did the trick. I’ll keep using, one pump is all they recommend and it seems like it’ll last forever. Definitely worth the price tag! I can’t wait to see what my skin looks like in 30, 60 and 90 days.

Great retinol
I like that this is a strong retinol but it's not too harsh. I did have to work up to every other night. I had a little flaking, but haven't had any major dryness.

Retinol
I have used retina for years. I decided to try Skinmedica’s brand. I gave it 5 stars because it seems to be quite effective. I have been using 1% and this brand seems stronger than my other. I did have to ease into this product by first using it every 3 days. I like how it’s refreshed my skin and I will continue to use this product in the future. I’m very pleased.

Intense
I would start with the .5 first. It’s very drying if you don’t religiously use hyaluronic acid with it.
