SkinMedica's Age Defense Retinol Complex .25 is formulated to renew the skin's tone and texture without irritating the skin. Retinol helps combat the signs of premature aging while magnolia bark extract soothes inflammation. Ideal for use twice a week to build tolerance to formula.
Key Ingredients:
- Retinol: helps boost collagen production and cell turnover to reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles
- PhytoShield™ Complex: an antioxidant complex, enhancing skin texture and minimizing irritation
Key Benefits:
- Enhances skin tone and texture
- Boosts more resilient skin
- Diminishes appearance of fine lines and coarse wrinkles
Apply in the evening after cleansing and toning and before applying your moisturizer. If a retinol product has never been used before, begin twice a week 2-3 days apart, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, and then advancing to each evening or as tolerated. Apply to the entire face. Avoid getting in eyes. If contact occurs, rinse eyes thoroughly with water.

Good starter retinol
No flaking, peeling, or irritation. No scent, and good texture. Great retinol for first time retinol users.

No noticeable difference
My dermatologist recommended this product as an alternative to her in-house brand which was even more silicone-heavy than this one by Skinmedica. I began using it according to directions, slowly building up to nightly application as of a month ago. This must be too weak a retinol formula for me, as I'm noticing no change whatsoever. At least it's obviously very gentle, and the scent is fine, not at all overwhelming. I have oily skin & large pores, even at age 62. Planning to try the .5 strength next. I wish the container could include a transparent section so one would know when to re-order.

SkinMedica Age Defense Retinol Complex
This is my first time trying this brand.. Just love everything about this product, I am glad I stared with the lowest strength. I have used retinol products before but never kept the routine due to the effect on my skin. This time I am following directions and I am loving this product. I also purchase .50 and 1 for future use.

so far so good.
I've finally jumped on the bandwagon and purchased a retinol cream. So far I have been using it every other night for the last several weeks. I definitely noticed a little bit of flakiness the next morning, but nothing a good moisturizer can't help with. No redness. I have noticed an improvement in clarity of my skin and am excited to see the changes with continued use.

An absolute must
Rentinol is a beauty must. Every skin type needs rentinol for beautiful skin. This retinol complex of .25 is a miracle cream for those new to using rentinol. Start here and build your way, over time, to a higher complex. Your skin will thank you now and years from now.

Great for beginners
I have been hesitating to use a retinol because I have very sensitive skin. I gave this a try, first twice a week and now 3 times a week. Maybe the first week or two I had a little redness but after that no sensitivities at all. I have noticed more even skin tone and less blemishes. I really like the product and am going to go for .5 next after having built up my tolerance.

Gentle and Effective
I am eight months into the bottle and am very pleased. I have dry sensitive skin and this is my first attempt at a retinol product after the recommendation from my dermatologist. There was slight tingling and redness at first, but I always layered a moisturizer on top. Now, after slowly ramping my way up, I'm using it up to four times per week at night with no irritation. The pump provides the perfect amount and the design ensures the sensitive ingredients are protected from the elements. It will last me another 2-3 months at least. I will continue to purchase other products in this retinal line as my skin adapts to greater retinal intensity.
