This is my first SkinCeuticals Retinol and I do not regret buying it. It is an expensive product but lived up to the hype. Though I have only been using it for a week, I see difference in my combination skin. There was a bit of redness for the first two days but it went away fast. My skin is brighter and more even-looking. I will definitely be repurchasing it. Wish we get to buy the 0.5% version here as well.

Upgraded from my medik8 crystal 3 to this a few months ago. Was previously using the medik8 every night, but this is much stronger, so have been using it twice a week. I did experience some sensitivity and dryness after the first few uses, so took a week off and started again, but I have really noticed a difference in my acne marks. Skin looks brighter. 

But no breakouts and fine lines appear reduced the next morning. I have had bad acne in my 20s and used roaccutane through a demartologist so I am using this product slowly on forehead, upper cheeks and neck. I am not using it in the area around my mouth. 

I've been using it for a while now, and the results are remarkable especially my pimple issue. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, I've experienced a bit of irritation after applying it for 3 days continuously. but overall I like its effect.

I started off my retinol journey using a much cheaper product and my skin was comfortable with 5%, however it left so oily due to the oil base. This however leaves my skin without any sticky or oily feeling, and although is only 0.3%, it does a much better job on my skin! Spots are drastically reduced overnight, and blemishes are fading. Just be careful not to get it near your eye area as it can increase sensitivity to other products e.g. eye creams.
