Retinol Serum 1.0 Complex - Serum for Face, Age-Defying Advanced Retinol Cream That Renews Skin and Diminishes the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles - 1 Fl Oz

I’ve been using SkinMedica Retinol 1.0 for several months and the results are impressive. This is definitely the best retinol you can buy without prescription. Best for people who already have experience with retinoids, not recommended for beginners . The first days I had some redness and flaking, which is normal for a 1.0% retinol. After few weeks of using my skin looked much smoother, pores appeared smaller, and my overall tone became more even. I use it only at night with a rich moisturizer. You must use sunscreen daily

Expensive, but worth the price. I have found it difficult to find an over the counter retinol product that works. This seems effective. I found that using it daily did dry my face and I had some minor peeling, but after that initial phase those effects resolved. I have fairly sensitive skin and I am tolerating it well. I do use a good moisturizer. If it seems to irritating starting with applications less frequently, as most retinol products recommend, should help ease your skin into it. The pump dispenses a small drop per pump and that is enough for my face and neck. I will purchase this again, although this bottle should last quite a while given the small amount used for each application.

I was using the .5 and started with the 1.0 just a week ago. I can see the difference in just one week. I have mix skin with acne scars and sun marks. Skin got softly peeled and already got a firmer and smoother look. I highly recommend but judging for it's immediate action I would say to take breaks for sensitive skins in between usage. For the rest this product is high quality. Highly recommended.

I can't say enough about this product. When it comes to skin care price is not the biggest factor as long as the product genuinely works and let me tell you, this product WORKS!!! IT WORKS!!! Please be careful with this retinol if u decide to go for the 1.0 strength cuz u don't have sensitive skin because u WILL burn n peel off this stuff. I made the mistake and did this treatment two nights in a row and oh boy!!! I couldn't treat my face again for 2 weeks!! It literally felt like I got a chemical peel 💯. I tell u what tho my skin is beaming and tight, lifted, pores shrunk and fine lines gone. Even my hard creases in my forhead relaxed sum and that's all off one treatment. I may get a weaker strength so I can use it more often. Forget about any other retinol buy this!!

I have purchased this product both in my dermatologist's office and a few times here on Amazon, and *every* time it has been the same excellent product. Just research the sellers before choosing one to buy from. When you start using this, you will see that your skin peels a bit, revealing new, plump, smooth skin. The 1% is a high concentration, and if you have very sensitive skin (I do not), you might want to start with the .25 or .5% concentrations, to ease your skin into it. My fine lines and crows feet smoothed out, my skin is plump, and glowing. I especially like the consistency of this product - it is an emulsion that absorbs nicely into your skin, leaving absolutely no greasy residue. So it does NOT have that slimey feel of serums with too much silicone. This product contains no (or very little) silicone. It absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling nourished. Use with your regular serums and moisturizers, as retinol itself can be a slightly drying ingredient. Worth every penny, and a bottle last several months. You do not need to apply very much product, so my bottle lasts me 6 months or more, with applying 2-4 times a week at night. If you are looking for the BEST most effective retinol product, this is it! I have tried so many, and none compare to this one!

I’ve been using the 0.5 retinol of this brand for a few months and thought I should upgrade to the 1%. With the 1% I experienced burning around my neck and mouth that lasted 24hrs after applying. Then, I experienced peeling 3 days after application for at least a week. At first I thought I was having an eczema flair up until I realized it was the retinol. During the peeling stage I made sure to use a gentle facial cleanser, cold water, and apply creams for eczema. After the peeling faze, I had a reduction of my hyperpigmentation from acne and my skin over all looks brighter and fresh. I was using it twice a week, but I’m probably going to drop back to the 0.5 for a while. Tl;dr if you have sensitive skin your face will definitely burn and peel. Make sure to moisturize, apply that sunblock, and avoid any irritants (dust, pet hair, perfumes, makeup, ect) during the peeling faze.

I think this stuff really works. My skin does seem smoother with fewer wrinkles showing. Retinol is the only chemical that's been tested to work. It's expensive, and I wouldn't recommend it for delicate skin, but it works for me.

Love Skin Medica products. Feels soft on skin. Couple of small drops for whole face. Lasts forever. Expensive but worth the price.

Es un buen recibió, se nota en poco tiempo cambios en la piel. Recomendable la marca
