An oldie, but a goodie
I've tried a number of different retinols over the years, including prescription tretinonin, but I decided to return to Skinmedica because I think it's a very potent retinol. It doesn't cause any flaking, or irritation, though I don't tend to get side effects even from Retin-A. Just started using SM again, so will need a bit of time to see real results.

Works!
This product does a great job exfoliating my skin and making my pores disappear. Every month, I usually use it every night for about a week and my face then starts to "shed" (kind of dries out.) I then use a scrub everyday for a few days to reveal a fresh layer of skin. It helps to keep my skin looking fresh. Helps with my fine lines, too. Highly recommend.

Power To Pair with Intense Hydration
A recent review of this product by someone who likes that this retinol didn't cause flaking, like others did, is interesting to me. Everyone is different. My experience (going on two months) has been the opposite. Many previous uses of prescription retinol and OTC formulations under my belt and this product took me by surprise. I stepped up from a different brand 0.5 concentration to this 1.0 and used it twice in the first week. The flaking, after two or three days was very noticeable. With gentle exfoliation, moisture, and plenty of internal (water) and external hydration, I've been able to manage the flaking, but in summer this is noteworthy; cannot imagine the level of skin turnover if I dare use this product in winter more than once a week. I have thick eyebrows and even they flaked ridiculously for a couple weeks; very inconvenient when trying to do quick summer makeup in the morning. To make this product work (and not be a loss) I've used rosewater & other hydrosols & moisture mists after double cleansing (with a washcloth) one drop of straight chamomile and/or lavender/ or calendula essential oil added to each application and Babor products, particularly the Hyaluronic Acid Power Serum Ampoules and cold pressed kukui and jojoba oils applied to clean, damp skin as necessary.

Best Retinol Cream
Love SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0! My skin is sensitive and dry. This cream doesn’t dry and make my skin flaky the next day like other retinols I’ve tried. Will be repurchasing this product.

I tried SkinMedica Retinol .5 before this. Using this 1.0 I see the difference in my skin texture. My skin peeled a bit and became smooth.

Skin medica retinol 1.0
I absolutely love this product. I am fair skinned & was concerned about redness & irritation but experienced none of that. My skin feels firmer after use. I will be using this regularly.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0
Like all SkinMedica products, this is wonderful. I alternate it nightly with CE Ferulic, also by SkinMedica. It goes on before the TNS serum.

Strong retinol works
I use weekly and just a small amount of product is needed. I occasionally get dry around my mouth and chin for a couple days. Skin has improved with this routine after 2 months.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0
Started using this after I finished Obagi 360 retinol. Much prefer this one, because it doesn’t leave my skin dry a& feeling tight. The formulation, while being retinol, somehow seems to soothe my skin. For my mature dry skin, this product is working out much better. Can’t wait to see how it enhances my skin. Highly recommend.

Had to stop
I had to stop because I found out I was pregnant (yay!). I liked that it was somewhat moisturizing while on. It is strong, which I prefer, because my skin was starting to purge within the first couple days of use. Will resume after baby.

Wouldn't be without
I've tried several retinol products. I now use the 1% without any issues. My face glows in the morning. This retinol is the best on the market and worth the price.

Perfect for acne and overall skin health
This retinol is - believe it or not - my go-to for hormonal acne and cystic acne. And, as a bonus, my skin is healthier looking and feeling.
