A Skincare must have
”-May 20, 2013
This product is amazing. I use it every night before bed and it has has helped to minimize my pores and soften fine lines. I use to have a deep furrow line between my brows and now it has disappeared. A little goes a long way so it is cost effective as well.

Not so much, literally
”-March 3, 2013
I really love this product line. But user be ware if you have sensitive skin test it first for several uses in a very small area. I used as directed and looked like I had a peel for days.

My favorite product!
”-December 8, 2012
I have been using SkinCeuticals Retinol for years and I really believe in this product. It makes my skin smooth and glowing. I use it nightly, let it soak in for half an hour and then apply moisturizer. You will wake up to beautiful, glowing skin in the morning! I swear it helps keep the wrinkles away! New bottle design is the best!

Not as strong as I would like
”-August 15, 2012
I bought this instead of my usual Green Cream for an over the counter retinol choice thinking this would provide the same results, but this is not near as powerful as Green Cream, I think it's a bit stronger then Roc Retinol but that isn't saying much.

”-July 5, 2012
This is the retinol product I come back to time and time again. It doesn't make my skin too oily like many other retinols do, and while it is strong, it doesn't irritate my skin or dry it out. And the new packaging makes it seem like you are getting twice as much product for the same price. Love, love, love.

Effective but gentle
”-June 13, 2012
I have sensitive skin, but need a good anti-ager and have tried lots of retinol products. Most are either effective but irritating or gentle but not effective. This product is first rate. I highly recommend it as part of a skin treatment program to fight the signs of aging.

SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0
”-January 13, 2012
When I first started using Skinceuticals retinol 1.0 my skin got real red and peeled. It peeled for days. I almost gave up. I stuck in there and now I get so so many complements! It has done wonders for my skin! The only bad thing is that the bottle is a poor design. The last bottle I received I had to send back because the product would not even come out. I would say about 75% of the time the product comes out when I first order it. I will say I will continue to use this cream! If it doesn't come out I will send it back and get a new one. I am a 35 year old woman that freckles easily and worshiped the sun and since I have been using it I get carded all the time when I order a drink at the restaurant. I feel awesome!

won't come out
”-August 17, 2011
How does one begin to review a product that won't come out of the bottle? I have always been very pleased with all of my skinceuticals purchases--but this one ....It wasn't possible for me to return because I live in Europe and have products sent to my mother and pick them up when I visit--I tried for 3 days and it never came out--I turned it upside down and pumped and pumped--and beat it--finally it came out--but not reliably--now I am a cosmetic bottle mechanic--it works--I like the product so far--but wait until they package it in a new bottle before buying!

follow directions of starting with every other day, and do not put near the corners of your mouth as it is drying and can cause cracking

Love that retinol!
”-July 29, 2011
I've tried a few high-level retinol creams, and I'm a huge fan of this one. It's hard to beat this price when other 1% retinol creams tend to be at least $75. This little guy has worked wonders in terms of brightening, smoothing, and evening skin tone. The pump is a little weird; all four bottles I've gone through have had this issue, allowing for just a tiny amount per pump. But hey, it comes out, and I suppose that's all that matters. I use a pea-sized amount every evening (sunlight renders retinol inactive) just before bed, and voila, a fresh face ensues. This has a lovely texture as well and smoothes easily over my skin. My skin is pretty hearty, but if yours is more sensitive, starting with a lower-level retinol product would be probably be a good idea. This does what it says it will do--not overnight, but with continued use, the results are obvious and worth the wait!

Hope the company fixes the pump
”-April 12, 2011
I bought this product two days ago. The pump on the first bottle did not work, so I exchanged it for another...and that one didn't work either!!! I've got bad luck!! However, looking at the reviews here, it looks like this is a common packaging problem for this product. I hope they fix it soon, but for now I'll have to find a different retinol. :(

1st pump didn't work, returned to skin dr. You do not get anything out of this compared too a tube. I would never use this product again. Love, La Roche Posay and for some reason I can,t find it, even in France. I'll do without before I buy this product.

By far the best I've tried
”-October 21, 2010
Over the last few years I've been using numerous retinoids, including Philosophy, Skinmedica and Revision, but until I started using this stuff, I didn't realise how ineffective they were.
I've been using this for a couple of months now and my skin has never looked better. I use it every second night as it is quite strong. I had a bit of flaking for the first 6 weeks or so - I never got the flakies with other retinoids - but it's been worth it, as my skin is glowing and people are commenting on how young my skin is looking.
If your skin is sensitive, this will probably be too strong for you.

Awful Pump!
”-October 3, 2010
The cream itself feels wonderful on my skin, but the pump works poorly from when I first got it. It's going to be impossible to use up all of this product in such a container. I'm happy with the product itself, but there are many other good retinol products out there that are packaged better - avoid this one, for sure!

Great product, Poor pump
”-August 12, 2010
I loved this product and what it did for my skin, but soon the pump stopped working. I contacted the company, but they said they didn't know of a problem with it. They should look at the reviews on this site! I will not use the product again because it is a waste of money when the pump stops working. Mine quit working when it was only half empty.
