Skin Care Review: SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0%

by Amber

Rating
Good

Benefits
Have had vast improvement in my pores and wrinkles & creping of skin.

Drawbacks
Experienced severe skin peeling to begin with.

Details
I have been using Retinol 1.0 for 6 to 8 months.

I had a very difficult time adjusting to this product (Retilol 1.0).I stopped the product for awhile, then restarted at once per week, then twice a week, and gradually worked up to 5 days per week. I plan on using it 7 days per week.

One thing I have found to make the product more effective is to do a scrub every few days to remove the upper layer of skin. That way the product can get into the skin better and be more effective.

I have an oily skin type and acne even though I am in my fifties. The retinol has helped a lot with the acne but has not eliminated it. I am moderately fair complexion and do not tan easily.

I plan on continuing for another couple months on the Retinol 1.0, and if I still want more results I may switch from the Retinol 1.0, to Retin-A.

Conclusions
I am pleased with the results so far of Retinol 1.0 but would like *better* results.

Price (paid by reviewer)
$60.00 per fl oz
