Product Description

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5 fights signs of aging and enhances your complexion.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5 is a powerful retinol treatment formulated to repair, renew, and enhance skin tone and texture. Retinol accelerates the rate of cellular turnover within the skin, traveling deep into the pores to clear them of dirt, oil, and dead skin and promote a faster rate of renewal. This treatment improves hyperpigmentation and dark spots, evening out the skin tone, and smooths texture and breakouts.

Why DermWarehouse Loves SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5:

Adding in a retinol treatment to your skincare routine is an effective way to prevent signs of aging in your 20s and repair and reverse signs of aging in those with more mature skin. This treatment, best utilized by those who have used retinol in the past and their skin tolerates it, encourages a faster rate of cellular turnover in the skin, revealing fresh, more youthful skin and sloughing off dead skin cells. Retinol is extremely effective but also very powerful, so it’s recommended to use a good moisturizer and an SPF daily when using retinol.

Can you use SkinMedica retinol every night?

Retinol is best utilized while starting slow to integrate it into your skincare routine. You may start using it once a week to get your skin used to it, and continue to add it more and more as your skin tolerates. It’s not needed as an every day treatment, but rather, every other night.

I'm a 48 year old and haven't used a strong retinol in the past so I was a bit worried about going with this over the lower dose one. But this one did fine. I used it every other day for the first week and then started to notice dryness so I scaled back a bit and now worked my way back up. I use it nightly now and it's fine. It's like a lotion consistency and doesn't rub in the best, but I always spray my face first with Thayer's facial spray each time I'm putting on serums and moisturizers to help it rub in easier. I've used another retinol in the past that was more like a gel consistency and I did like that better from an application perspective.

It took me one month for my skin to adjust to the percentage of the product. I like the results and will continue to use it. Helps skin look healthy and lessons fine lines and discoloration.

I am 44 years old and this is the best retinol serum I have ever used. I began with the 25 percent and moved on to this 50 percent version. I see a difference in my skin without the sensitivity. I use it 4 nights a week.

After the initial phase of my skin adjusting, I was able to use product nightly. I have a slight improvement in skin and plan to increase to the 1.0 product.

This was an authentic product. People have posted on other online sites that the product has been "watered down" with lotion.
