## Description

desertcart.com: SkinMedica Retinol 1.0 Complex, 1 Fl Oz : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Quality product - SkinMedica has it goin on! Much better product than most. A little goes a long way!
Review: 0 strength because I felt like my skin was good enough and prepared enough for ... - I started using the SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5 Feb 5th of this year. On June 5th, after 4 months of use I upped it to the 1.0 strength because I felt like my skin was good enough and prepared enough for a stronger retinol. . I went through a slight, but not bad, peeling stage with a little redness, with the 1.0 because I think my skin was pretty used to the retinol after using a weaker strength for 4 months.. (The first 2 months with the 0.5 was awful.. My skin was super red, super flaky and super sensitive.. Even to wash it with Cervae face wash, which is super gentle, even hurt it).. The peeling and redness lasted about 2 weeks with the 1.0 vs 2 months with the 0.5 and now my skin is wonderful! It looked really good after the 4 months using the 0.5, but after 6 weeks of the 1.0 it looks even better.. It's much smoother and super even toned. The few sun spots that I have have faded tremendously and I can feel a lift in my face and a tightening in my skin. It's definitely worth the ugly stage that retinol causes, to get to this stage.. For me that is.. The only down side, if this is even a down side, is it didn't help make my pores smaller which I had hoped for, but with the right primer and foundation it can hide them.. Especially now with super smooth skin. I recommend this for everyone to help with aging and prevent aging and I am so glad I started using it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: All reviews are from young people.  Anyone know how it works on older women?  My wrinkles seem worse.**
A: Arghh! Have tried to answer this question twice but my iphone thwarts me. Anyway......I'm 53 years old and a huge fan of SkinMedica. My favourite products are Lytera (game changer!!), TNS Essential Serum, Age defense retinol and the very first SkinMedica product that I began with when I was 40 called TNS Recovery Complex. I get frequent compliments about my skin but I take religious care of it and am a liberal user of sunscreen which I REAPPLY over the course of the day. I am a grandmother of two small children and people are shocked when they learn my age. These products are fabulous but you have to be patient for results. If this is the first time that you are venturing into serums, you may need to round out a retinol with a morning vitamin C serum or the TNS Essential Serum or TNS Recovery Complex. Initially, some of the products may seem expensive but calculate the costs on a daily basis and length of time before you need to buy again and they are extremely affordable. Again.....if you are over 40 and just getting into serums, you need to be patient for results. Also, if you experience any irritation, then set up a regime that ultimately allows you to achieve a daily application. I apply retinol in the evening, FOLLOWING my Lytera application and when my skin is dry. I no longer need to use Lytera on a daily basis but do maintenance with that product 2X a week. If you are using retinol for the first time, make sure your skin is thoroughly dry after washing your face. Good luck!

**Q: Is this Skin Medica Age Defense Retinol Complex 1.0 (like the photo)  or "Skin Medica Age Defense Retinol Complex .25"?**
A: What I received was 1.0.  It was sold by a different company however.  Skin Medica is now making this product in not only the .5 and 1.0 but in .25 as well.  I can only guess they added the .25 due to the harshness of the product.  I would not trust this if 1.0 is what you're looking for.

**Q: How are you able to sell this product , so much cheaper, than the manufacturer?**
A: Hello,We sell through several e-commerce platforms and have a huge buying power. Most of these savings are passed on to the customers. We are highly competitive and operate a low cost model to pass substantial savings to customers. As again, all products are 100% original, and guaranteed fresh.We hope you enjoy using these products, and more savings on your next order.Sincerely,

**Q: What exactly does this do for you?  I was using the .25 and thought my skin looked a little lighter but now using the 1.0 I'm breaking out.  Awful.**
A: The 2.5 that you're using is not as strong as this one. I rarely use the 1.0 because it is so strong. I have to work up to using the half strength and then I used the one on some stubborn areas. The reason you're breaking out is that the impurities are coming up. I would start every other day. You should see some leveling out. Be happy for the breakouts. It means all that crap is coming to the surface

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just WOW 👌
*by J***S on May 3, 2025*

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!!
