SkinMedica Age Defense Retinol 1% Complex 1.0 fl oz (29.6ml)

This is exactly as described and as a skin care junkie its totally worth investing in it. Just read the usage instructions. This is just like getting something prescribed. Its extremely strong but after finding the right amount of times (and when to not use it and give my skin a break) I AM GLOWING!

Per Dr. Dray, dermatologist (see You Tube), reviewed a trial/study that supports the same anti-aging results (improved collagen absorption with fewer fine lines and wrinkles) from the SkinMedica Retinol Complex when compared to Tretinoin. The main difference is that the SkinMedica product demonstrated less irritation and inflammation. I am very sensitive to tretinoin irritation and the SkinMedica works better for me: at least to this point I have been able to use the SkinMedica every night without breaks. I am grateful for less irritation and the anti-aging results I expect from Tretinoin.

After a good amount of research for this product, found this to be best price. Easy order process and free shipping is my preference - all around, just right.

Closest cream to prescription Retin A. I have been using this cream for several months and I do see a reduction in my fine lines. You need to follow the directions and take time to build up your tolerance before you can use it without peeling.

Veery excellent product, I use three times per week nightly.

Wow! This is sold by my dermatologist for much more money. Great deal!

love it more than the next higher retinol based one. I do wonder if it's as effective. The 1.5 made my face peel and peel. Never stopped peeling and couldn't find an effective moisturizer.

It has been a while that I use retinol. My skin changed for the best two weeks after using it. Started with a lower concentration and worked my way up. So worth it!

This came broken and used. The lid was bent on and when it opened the access to the pump mechanism was impossible, instead the tube section opened and blobbed the cream everywhere.

I have been using this same product for 9 years and I have always been pleased until now. The bottle arrived opened but the color looked the same so I proceeded to use. About a week later my skin itched like crazy and in some areas became swollen. Very weird and suspicious.
