Title: BUYER BEWARE - Counterfeit or Oxidized Product
Review: I’ve ordered this product a couple of times, in the past it was effective and worked on my skin. Since it’s a 1.0 and somewhat drying on my skin type I learned to sandwich it with a moisturizer as needed. With the recent purchase I used the 1.0 serum by itself for 5 nights in a row and have seen no change at all. My skin normally would be slightly red and dry in more sensitive areas. Either it is a fraudulent product or sold to me oxidized!

Title: Super strong
Review: You get your money's worth - it is definitely strong. I am 44 years old and have used retinol products for over 10 years. In fact, I used to use them every night more or less. After using this one for two nights in a row, my face was flaking off the next day. They are not kidding when they say use it twice per week at most when starting out. I feel like I got a chemical peel. But after dealing with the dryness and figuring out how often to use it per week, I like it. My skin texture is definitely improved, wrinkles are lessened, etc. It is doing its anti-aging job. And because you have to use it so few times per week, it is a steal at that price.

Title: FANTASTIC PRODUCT THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!!
Review: Be careful! This stuff works! I bought it on the advice of a dermatologist! Yes, kinda pricey, I know. Skin peels for the first few weeks…which is what it’s supposed to do! Now, my skin no longer peels but because this stuff is so strong, I now only use it about twice a week now. Because I love what it’s done for my face, I started using it on my hands & I swear, my hands are visibly improving! However, there is a downside, but it’s NOT the fault of this product. I learned the hard way that when using retinol, you must also use sunscreen…or you’ll be sorry…and, one unusually hot day, I was sorry…after walking around for no more than 15 minutes! Ouch!! I looked like a lobster head! I’ll never do that again! Kind of bummed that it put an end to my tanning days…but, because of the great results, I can live without baking in the sun for, so far, one season!! I repeat: THIS STUFF WORKS! And trust me, I am no spring chicken!!

Title: It works
Review: This works just as it is supposed to. It starts to exfoliate the skin within a few days of use. But use caution...if your skin is not used to it you will burn your skin if you use it every day. I practically got a chemical peel the first time I used it because I was not familiar with using retinol. The skin on my face was fire-engine red and peeled for days! It was not a pretty sight for over a week. But I couldn't hide at home that whole time it took to heal, so it was quite embarrassing for me. But my skin looked good after the inflammation and peeling stopped! But you can get the same results if you use it responsibly.

Title: Get Results
Review: I am 54 and started with the .5 Skinmedica retinol. I've used for a couple months now and have moved up to the1% retinol. This product works great, minimal peeling depending on how aggresive you choose you be with application.I find that using the product once weekly works best for me because I don't over due my applications.I primarily started to use the product to reduce my lip lines and things are moving along swimmingly.When peeling begins it can feel a little itchy when you sweat or are hot, a cool rag helps as you don't want to rub your face.I am very happy with the results thus far.
