Great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have to use this every night! Because of age, I had to go down from 1.0 Retinol to ..5. It works so well for me to keep my skin from discoloration and fine lines!

Great Product

I love this product! I particularly like that the amount of retinol is clearly communicated. This is a retinol concentration I can tolerate and so it works well for me.

My Favorite Over The Counter Retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is my favorite over-the-counter retinol. It's still very powerful and I typically use an additional heavy moisturizer to protect my skin. This product is powerful enough to make your skin dry, like other strong retinols, but it slightly more moisturizing. I recommend using it with another moisturizing barrier for your first few uses.

It is more gentle than skinsceuticals. I just wish it wasnt a pump dispenser (i always feel like there is cream left in the jar you cannot get to.

So-so

I’ve built up for my skin to handle retinol but this just dried my skin out completely.

Good Non-Rx Alternative

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a good alternative retinol if you don't have an Rx. Did not irritate my sensitive skin.

Skinmedica retinol

Great product. Absorbs well. I follow with TNS ceramide cream. I am in my 60s with normal to dry skin. Will increase to 1.0 next order.

Great retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I re started using retinol and wanted to start with the 0.5 since I’ve used retinol before. I use it every other night and I love it, it hasn’t caused irritation or peeling. My skin looks great the next morning. Will re purchase and continue to use

So strong for my skin

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I may need to continue prepping my skin with the 0.25 version of this product. Be aware of the "purging" phase your skin might have in relation to retinol products. Itching, dry, peeling skin. Use the 0.25 first. This product made my skin glow and bright after it healed though.
