Review: Bad experience at first until i saw Dermatologist and now - Prior to using skinceticals Retinol i had been using image Retinol for years which worked great.I read so much about this being the strongest and most effective so i decided to try it out . Strange as it may sound this stuff the first night really made my face feel like it was burning up i mean uncomfortable painful .Since i been using Retinol for years and Retin A at one point and followed directions to a T i was shocked. The next morning my face was a train wreak with bright red spots almost blisters like.I ended up making an appointment with my Dermatologist who thinks i had a reaction because i didn't allow enough time to to get the image out of my system before starting this.Makes sense because i had used the image retinol the night before i started this.Anyway after prescription of a steroid ointment i was able to resume this two weeks later and no burn i only had major peeling for a few days.My face is now adjusting very well to this and i am seeing and liking the end results.my skin is much more evened out, some dark spots are less noticable and the fine lines are definitely less noticable.My face is left with a nice complexion .So though it started off bad and with some advice from my Dermatologist i was able to continue and im not having any more issues.I really like this line i use the foaming face wash , the scrub twice a week to rid any dead skin and a few others from this line.If your new to this line and retinol i would highly suggest started with the lowest one and work your way up because i think this is the most potent of Retinols i have used.I personally think its pretty effective as Retin A which i have a new script waiting to fill had i had more issues with this but so far its all good but im gonna hang onto that script anyway.
Review: Great Retinol Cream - Use With Caution Until Your Skin Is Ready - Another great Skinceuticals product. Retinol is the ingredient that everyone seems to agree is a must if you want to prevent aging/reduce wrinkles.Studies show retinol helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, and my wife, who grew up in Southern California, used to put butter on her skin and bake in the sun. You can imagine the brown spots and melasma that she developed as a result. My wife sees a cosmetician once a month and has for the last four years or so. They started with a major peel (Melanage), which got rid of about 35% of the melasma. My wife was not happy with that reduction, so she has continued to search for products to lighten the skin and brown spots, as well as reduce wrinkles and stop the aging process. This sounds like what every other woman her age wants. So, she has gone through a series of products, including La Prairie, Revive, and dermatologist recommended products as well. Over the course of the last year, she started trying the Skinceuticals products and loves them. She ordered this Retinol cream, in addition to other Skinceuticals products. The directions make it clear that you should start once or twice a week and then increase as your skin becomes accustomed to the product. My wife (who is 52) followed those directions, and is glad that she did, because this is indeed a very strong product, and your skin will peel. We will continue to use this and reorder. It is a great product and does not clog pores. The dispenser system makes it easy to use and apply, without contaminating the entire product with each use. My wife also loves their CE Feurilic, which she uses in the morning on her face and neck, and at night on her neck. She also uses the Skinceuticals Resveratrol at night, as well as their pigment corrector and overnight dry moisturizer. Overall great products dermatologist recommended, and reasonably priced when considering the alternatives to get these results.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This product says it "contains the highest concentration currently available", yet other sellers sell 2.5%. Can anyone shed light on this?**
A: The 2.5% claim does not really represent the % of pure retinol, rather it is the content of a retinol liposome which itself is actually only 1% retinol.  The actual % of retinol is .01*2.5=  .025% pure retinol.

**Q: What if it doens't burn in the least or cause any type of flaking?**
A: I have never had " burning sensations" from Skinceuticals. I have had have some flaking.  After continued usage I have found the flaking nearly subsides.

**Q: Does this product work well on stretch marks?**
A: The product is designed for the Face.  The amount in the tube compared to the amount of stretchmarks might not be enough. The cost might be prohibitive, if you have a lot of marks. I had surgery recently myself, and won't use it for that. I am using a cream with 80% shea butter.

**Q: Does this also help clear up melasma?**
A: We are a seller of this product and can address your question. This product would not be considered a first line over the counter treatment for melasma. Hydroquinone, which can be found in a few OTC medicines, is a common first treatment for melasma. OTC medicines will not contain as high a strength as would a prescription drug, but if your condition is not severe, you might find the OTC hydroquinone product works well. Adding a tretinoin, such as this SkinCeuticals product, to a hydroquinone product could enhance the effect. Hope this helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong, takes at least a week to work but depends on Your body to make new skin, works slower if your Older.
*by J***S on March 11, 2017*

This works.. but it depends on your skin thickness (and your Age!) and use pattern. It is 1% which is no where near prescription for a good reason. It took about 2-3 weeks of persistant twice a day use on my skin before a thin totally circular layer of skin peeled neatly away. I came to realize that your body had to make skin cells to replace those peeling away, so using this on Scar tissue or Deep sun spots has to penetrate and force your skin to make replacement cells before the top layer peels away.. then it itches slightly and a very exact circular patch of skin (like a bandaid) comes right off revealing the replacement skin underneath (and the skin is bright red from all the blood vessels making new skin.. its not painless but what you would expect from a wound healing). I am treating specific tiny regions of problems, so I did not massage it into a broad area. It is very effective however after a lot of time.. I can't imagine the pain someone might inflict on themselves if they tried to make vast areas of their face or body suddenly have to replace all of their skin.. it would be like getting a burn I guess. Came in a fairly large shipping box, and then the original Skinceuticals Retail packaging with a leaflet of professionally printed directions. Had an aluminum seal underneath the cap that had to be removed before the retinol would flow through the tip.. has a built in puncture device.. but I removed the seal without using it and put the cap back on. The top is a two part, larger cone with a separate smaller cone for a cap you unscrew the smaller cone cap and it lets you apply a small amount with the larger cones narrow tip.. which is very important. Do not use it like a Lotion!
