Review: it's the best! - Non-irritating when used over my normal moisturizer at night, and I was nervous about it since I just bumped up my % from 0.25 to 0.50.

My worry is that is this the real product?** A: Jennifer, We are able to sell this at t a low cost because we obtained the product through the liquidation of several skin care spas. The product is real and if you have any other questions you can email me at clare@theglovegroup.com Thanks! **Q: I want to use it but not sure first time to use 0.25 or 0.5? I am 48 years old and worry about 0.25 doesn't work and .5 is too strong for me to start** A: If you have never used a retinol before it is always best to start with a milder formula, and there is definitely a difference between the .25 and the bump up to .50! I was using .5, having moved up to that when I finished the .25 bottle and all went well until I did a cycling event that went into the late morning hours (finished around 11am). I wound up with a chemical burn and my face peeled for about 3 weeks! And I did use sunscreen but obviously it wore off due to sweat/exertion . My skin looked great after the peeling, but I decided that it wasn't something I wanted to deal with all summer! So I am back to the .25 during the warm sun-intensive months and will go up to .5 again after September. If you have sensitive skin (and I do somewhat), that may be the highest you will be able to go. I only use the retinol at night and use Power of Three serum during the day under moisturizer--and love that product as well. Hope this help! **Q: Why wasn’t the box or container sealed when it arrived? It should be if it is new.** A: Recommendation: You are absolutely right. When my purchase arrived it was sealed as required. Please contact Amazon customer service and the seller. **Q: Is this comparable to Tretinoin Cream, 0.1% made by Allegan?** A: Retinol needs to be converted to acid by the body to be useful, retin-a is the converted acid and is already useful. So, not comparable at all. Two different products. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it's the best! *by A***W on 27 May 2026* Non-irritating when used over my normal moisturizer at night, and I was nervous about it since I just bumped up my % from 0.25 to 0.50. Product lasts a while and is worth the $. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works! *by S***A on 9 February 2026* Solid retinol product albeit quite strong. I only use it two times a week but I'm very happy with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good retinol starter dosage *by C***A on 6 July 2014* I've been using this for about a week or so, and it can take up to 12 weeks for an over the counter retinol product to show any changes. This came as a highly recommended retinol product from another site that does reviews of beauty products and their ingredients. I use this as a part of a beauty routine of several products, so nailing down whether this product works in and of itself will be difficult. Usage...One of the reasons I went with SkinMedica is the specific information about how much retinol is in the product and the fact that you can step up. I started out with the 0.5 to make sure that my skin wouldn't become overly irritated. I switch off daily applying this over my nighttime moisturizer one night, and under the next. I don't have highly sensitive skin, and I've used it daily without irritation. About the packaging and pump...This comes in a thick glass bottle, which I know because I dropped the first bottle before I even used it (yikes!). The thick, opaque glass bottle is important in preserving the retinol so that it doesn't breakdown from sunlight exposure. The pump releases product easily. Concerns about dyes...This is the reason for the 4 stars. If you are concerned about dyes in your products, you might want to reconsider SkinMedica. I dropped the bottle on the toilet tank cover, breaking the bottle and wound up with product all over my toilet seat lid and vinyl flooring. Having just broken an expensive, never used bottle of face product, I had to walk away and recover. I had to go out, so I didn't clean up for a few hours. (Yes, it took me that long to recover and deal with it.) The toilet lid and vinyl flooring are stained yellow, which speaks to the dyes. However, that was a highly concentrated amount of product, more than you would ever put on your face at one time or even in a few weeks, so it's not going to dye your skin yellow. When it comes out of the pump, it is almost white, but it is yellow if you unfortunately get a glimpse inside the bottle. ## Frequently Bought Together - SkinMedica Retinol 0.5 Complex - Retinol Serum for Face, Age-Defying Advanced Retinol Cream That Renews Skin and Diminishes the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles, 1 Fl Oz - SkinMedica AHA/BHA Exfoliating Face Wash - Gentle Facial Exfoliating Scrub with Jojoba Oil for Smoother, Radiant Skin - Helps Improve the Appearance of Skin Tone & Texture (6 Fl Oz) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/48207627-1525-retinol-complex-0-5-30ml](https://www.desertcart.at/products/48207627-1525-retinol-complex-0-5-30ml) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
