This is the right strength for my skin. Using it three times a week is just right. Experiencing no redness.

Not sure about retinol creams. They are too drying for my skin. Especially if I use any serums the next day. I have to avoid any serums and use only moisturizer if I want my skin not to peel. Don't know if it's SkinCeutical's Retinol creams only, I have not tried any others. I even feel that they made some of my wrinkles more prominent.

I love this retinol and it was a great start for my venture into retinols. It was gentle and my skin adjusted well to it. My skin is brighter, tighter and looking great.

Love this product, not overdrying either. I see a difference in the lines already.

I have used various retinol, starting from 0.1 and gradually increasing the intensity. I purchased SkinCeuticals 0.5, and it actually caused my skin to peel, suggesting that it is a bit stronger for my skin type. I feel like this product is truly effective, especially since I have tried other brands with higher concentrations than 0.5 and didn't notice any results.

I started with SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 Refining + Anti-Aging Night Cream which was wonderful as I had never used a retinol before. And my skin is extremely sensitive. However my skin handled this product very well. I recently switched to the 5% and I definitely see a difference. I am only using it 3x a week as it is very strong for my skin. But already my skin is brighter. I love all Skineuticals products. They are the best!!!

Although it is very strong, if combined with Triple lipid restore cream you'll get an amazing result. Btw, I am 45

TIP
Verified Purchase
After first night of use my face started to flake. I started very slowly with only once a week. Now I use it 3X a week at night and no more peeling. The first round I gave up because I hated the peeling but then I stuck with it and my skin adjusted and stopped peeling and left it softer and seemingly lightened some dark spots. But beware of the strength because it is strong.

I recently, about 3 months ago, switched from another brand 0.5 retinol to SkinCeuticals 0.5 retinol and really like this much better. I only use it once or twice a week and have gotten great results! My skin looks fresher, younger and has a glow to it that doesn't look artificial. I'm not a young woman, so when I get compliments from people on how great my skin looks it's really uplifting! At night I always use SkinCeuticals Resveratrol BE along with their Triple Lipid Restore. I find the combo very nourishing for my skin.

My skin is very sensitive. I am a 78 year old natural redhead & I have been able to use this retina A. Others I have tried have been to harsh. I can always trust SkinCeutials!

I definitely see changes in my skin with regular use of this retinol. My skin is clearer. Be sure to apply when your skin is dry, not damp.

I love the retinol from skinceuticals, it left my skin brighter and doesn´t irritate my skin. I use it twice a week alternating with a chemical exfoliator and the remaining days I just use my night cream. I love how my skin looks like.

I was apprehensive about using this strength as the retinol I had been using was half the strength. But my skin had no trouble adapting to the stronger product. I alternate each evening between SkinCeuticals retinol and SkinCeuticals glycolic acid. But the morning after using the retinol, my skin looks more youthful--the lines more relaxed. I will purchase again.

This Skinceuticals retinol is the real deal. Nothing better than retinol to keep the skin young and fight fine lines. Can’t live without it!
