Works as promised

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using SkinMedica's Retinol Complex for almost a year, and my fine lines (between my eyebrows, around my mouth) have definitely improved. I also see an improvement in hyperpigmentation (a dark spot that seems to be fading and I *think* less redness around my nose and chin). This is my first foray into retinol, and I chose this brand because I liked that I could start with .25 and gradually work up. I'm now using the .5 strength, and have never had a problem with redness, irritation, or dryness. The packaging has a nice weight and feels good in your hand. The dispenser works flawlessly. I get at least 6 months out of each bottle, applying it per Dr. Dray's instructions.

Very strong for first time retinol user

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Giving 5 stars because I am impressed but definitely need to start slow! I've been using 3 times a week and after a month of use I am starting to see results! One pump goes a long way!

I have been using this retinol for a year now and it really is such a game changer. It's effective and I don't see myself ever switching to something different since this works so well.

Great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have very sensitive skin and wanted to start on a retinol product. Began with the 0.25 and worked my way up to 0.5 without issues. My skin is so smooth after each use.

My Favorite Over the Counter Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is by far my favorite over the counter retinol. It goes on so smoothly, and I was able to tell a difference in my skin texture and appearance in just a few weeks.

retinol works

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

My skin is sensitive but I mix a small amount with my moisturizer and it works wonderfully. I don't need to overdo it to see the benefits.
