Great beginner retinol

I have very dry skin that doesn’t seem to love retinol. This product my skin loves! Very gentle yet effective.

Worth the price

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This was my first foray into retinol and after four months of use I can see a difference in my skin (I'm in my early 30s.) I'm looking forward to moving to the .5 version after this.

It’s ok, not amazing not bad

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol is okay. I have a hard time adjusting to retinol so it’s been difficult for me to stay consistent and get past the purging phase. It is not I really irritating so that is a huge plus!!!

Good for sensitive skin

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This was a good product to introduce my sensitive skin to retinol. I also have dry skin so I need to hydrate extra while using this product. I'm currently limiting use to two times a week. Do not use a strong exfoliant while using this product.

Great Retinol for Beginners

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I am new to retinol and this product is perfect for that. I love that SkinMedica has so many increments in strength which allows a new user to slowly build up. I started with applying every third night, am currently using every other night, and will work my way to every night and have not experienced any irritation or adverse effects.

This retinol has been a game changer. The 0.25 concentration is perfect and doesn’t irritate my skin. My skin looks younger since I’ve started using it

Retinol

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this for 3 months and have not seen any difference. I’m in my twenties and i have a few acne scars on my face nothing serious. Spots have not faded at all. Not worth the price.
