Customer Reviews

“This was the first retinol and I LOVED it. My skin is not super sensitive so I followed advice and started with the .5 level – alternating nights at first and then eventually shifting into using this every night (after about three weeks). My skin went through the normal retinol adjustment process (flaking etc.) but the end results were WELL worth the wait. I've seen major improvement in my skin texture and discoloration etc. Highly recommend this.” – ★★★★★ Claire, Verified Customer

“I have sensitive, combination skin with hormonal breakouts (even though I’m 40!) This strength doesn’t bother my skin and if I use it nightly keeps breakouts away. This is one product I cannot go without!” – ★★★★★ Maia, Verified Customer

“Absolute favorite product. I have been using Age Defense Complex 0.5 by SkinMedica for years. My facial skin has never looked better! Every where I go, people compliment me on how beautiful my face looks! It’s texture is so much better now & my face shines so beautifully! In the beginning, your skin will peel until your skin gets use to the retinol. If you continue to use it everyday or every other day, the peeling with eventually stop. Don’t stop using it! Give it enough time to work for your skin! I couldn’t be happier with this product!”- ★★★★★ Ruth, Verified Customer
