Retivance, Suzan Obagi
I absolutely love Retivance! As I have very dry, mature skin, (age 68), I apply it to a moist face after cleansing and it goes on smoothly and makes my skin feel silken. It is very rejuvenating and I have received so many compliments including "have you had any injections?" I have reordered this product 3 times and friends are using Retivance as well.

Gentle yet powerful
Love this for nights where my skin is too sensitive for my prescription retinoid. Very gentle on sensitive/reactive skin types.

Can't Get Enough of This
When I want a break from the RX retinoid or simply apply to the eye area (under eye and orbital bone) in conjunction with my RX (which shouldn't be used close to the eye) this is my go-to. Love this product and it's silky-smooth texture. It's fast absorbing (be sure to apply to damp skin for best absorption!).

Gentle Retinol
So nice to have retinol which never irritates my skin even when my skin is trying to be irritable. Easy to use. I think it’s making a difference.

Pretty good
I've gone through a few of these, and I like it. I think I, personally, need something a little stronger. It’s a great starting point for a good retinol/retinoid.

First time using a retinoid - so far so good!
I'm probably about 3/4 of the way through my first tube of this and I've been liking it so far. It's my first retinoid product I've used and it took a few weeks for my face to get used to it - I used it a couple times a week at first because it was making my face dry. After working my way up, I now use it every night with no issues. I liked it enough to purchase again but plan on going to a higher dose retinoid once I'm finished with this.

Great Retinoid Option for Beginners!
This was my very first retinoid product and, while I know everyone's skin is different, this definitely seems like it's a great option for beginners! Since retinal is closer to retinoic acid than retinol, there's less chance for irritation up front and the added silicone helps make it silky and seems like it helps buffer the retinal on your skin. I never experienced any adverse side effects even as a beginner. It also contains other good ingredients for your skin like peptides and glycerin. Yes, it's expensive but since retinoids are one of the few ingredients (maybe the only one??) proven to help reverse aging, it is well worth the investment in my opinion and it's nearly impossible to find other retinal options at this strength that cost less from trustworthy brands.

Exceptional Product
I have been using this product for just about a year. I was using it daily and now I use it about 3-4 times a week when I don’t use a prescription retinoid. It causes zero irritation which is great for those sensitive to retinoids. Goes on silky smooth. Only thing I don’t love is that when you get towards the end you have to cut open the bottle to get all the product out. The pump doesn’t allow for you to get it all out fully. But once you cut it open you realize there is a lot of product stuck around the sides of the pump. I know it’s pricey but for how little you use it will last a few months. Highly recommend as part of your anti-gaining routine.

Gentle for eyes
I use this product on my upper and lower eyelids because it is more gentle than my Rx tretinoin.

Suzan Obagi retivance skin rejuvenating complex.
I’m so happy I got this. I have never been able to use any sort of retinol under my eyes until now. I am extremely sensitive to many eye creams but I absolutely love this. Are use it on top of my eye cream at night and it seems to be working. I do think this is a good purchase.

Great for sensitive skin
I have very sensitive and dry skin so difficult to find a retinol type product that I can tolerate. Reticence works for me as long as I only use it 3-4 nights a week.

Gentle retinol option
Really like it and the way it feels, but haven't seen a huge change after 2 tubes... am I in the minority?! Does not irritate like others do.

Game changer!
I love love love this product! It is gentle enough for use under eyes & has significantly reduced my wrinkles and firmness. I purchased to build me tolerance before starting with prescription retinoid. Will continue to purchase for under eye use once using prescription retinoid on face.

Perfect Retinoid!
This product is non-irritating and more than that it feels like velvet going on. I have seen improvement in skin tone and texture. I will be buying again.

Not irritating to sensitive skin
I have tried several retinoids and tretinoin strengths and have found them all to cause irritation and peeling. The Retivance has been gentle and my rosacea and acne have calmed down in a few weeks.
