Essential Product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this product. It is an essential part to my nightly regime. It is mild enough to use every night. I haven't had any sensitivity issues using .25.

Nice product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have not noticed a great change in my skin, but then I have only been using this every other day for less than a month. What I do like about it is that there's no fragrance and the cream's texture is very nice. It spreads easily and the pump works very smoothly to measure out the correct amount (ie. no guesswork about whether you are applying too much or too little). All in all I like the brand and plan to work my way up to the higher strength.

Good product so far!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Have been using for a few months now and it has really help smooth out my skins texture. It has also really helped reduce my acne and blackheads. It did take a while for my skin to stop flaking after use (probably 3 months?), but my skin has now gotten use to it and I am really liking the results! I continue to use it every few days as opposed to every night or every other night.

Recommend by my dermatologist

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

My dermatologist recommended this product, the lightest formula, .25. I have sensitive skin and products that contain retinol irritate my skin right away, but this one has been gentle. I've been using this product for some time now and I see and feel the difference on my skin.

Gentle product to get into retinol using

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm used to different kind of acids, but this is my first retinol product. I went with the lightest formula and so far it feels very gentle on my skin. I have normal to combo skin and I haven't had any issue using this retinol (no drying, no flaking, no irritation). I haven't seen any changes in my skin yet, but I am hopeful. I think stronger formula would work better, but I'm ok that I started with a lighter one

Love it so far!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this for the past couple of months and I do love it so far. It is very gentle and hydrating. I use it about 2x a week right now because it is cold and retinol tends to dry out your skin. I have seen a little improvement with my fine lines and overall complexion I will probably buy a higher concentration when this one runs out. Thanks skinmedica for making such an awesome product!
