Featured SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 review: iriemango13 NYC and Jamaica West Indies Overall Rating "Retinol Delighted You Found Your Way Back To Me!" - 7/16/2009 9:07:45 AM This is a class "A" product for those who may use Retinol without it being harsh to their skin. I just started using it in the evenings prior to bedtime before my night moisturiser.(You must wait 30 minutes prior to applying your next creme afterwards.) I was totally surprised with the fragrance and lightness of the creme along with the ease for handling a retinol product. I am originally from Jamaica, West Indies, where we may get Retinol very easily from a physician. so I am rather familiar with the substance itself. (Stateside most insurance companies will not pay for pure Retinol if you over eighteen, unless it is precertified by your company with a physician's request.) Even then, many insurers will not pay for it as they know women use it for a beauty treatment which may be quite costly out of pocket. I have used topical cremes and gels in the past, some very well known brands. However, they did not smell all that good and were a bit sticky even though they worked well. With SkinCeuticals, it is amazing how they get the creme to have the consistency and strength combined in an easy pump bottle with the texture and fragrance so pleasant. The trick with retinol is to acclimate your skin to it. I suggest using it as the Brand suggests start off slowly, then increase your applications per week. Since I have used Retinol previously I know what my skin may tolerate. I have had not one day of redness, nor burning sensation and after a week I notice a difference with my wrinkles. The trick is to apply the contents very lightly dab it in gently and give it some time to penetrate the sodimeters of the skin. In my experience, I have had friends who applied it to heavily thinking it would work faster, I feel it is just the opposite. The less you apply until your skin adjusts, the less reddening, peeling and harshness your face will have to experience. I have never had those reactions with Retinol as I use it in small amounts and apply common sense along with the treatment. I beleive this a great product as I said for those who may have the ability to bear the ingredients. I go to a renowned Dermatologist in NYC and his Office only sells high end products. SkinCeuticals is among them and more costly than SkinStore. I went to my physician for medical reasons, not beauty treatments so I never thought to purchase the Retinol there. Now, since I have been in NYC with all the pollution, smokers and dust about I am starting to get a bit of wrinkles I did not have before. So I thought it best to try the Retinol once again Stateside. I am thrilled with the effects so far and highly recommend this item for anyone who wants to renew their skin, NEVERTHELESS, please make sure to follow all the companies advice and you will not regret the purchase. This is another product at SkinStore I found to be priced reasonably, albeit, it is a small bottle, hence, one needs to use a tiny drop each time. Featured SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 review: sandyeggo Vista, CA Overall Rating Pump is defective! - 2/26/2009 8:35:08 PM I got this today and was excited to try it during my evening beauty routine. To my disappointment, the pump dispenser didn't work. For an expensive and high end product, the simple expectation of a working pump is not too much to ask. It HAS to go back! Featured SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 review: AZsunguy AZ Overall Rating Great product - 1/31/2009 12:10:59 PM I'm giving a guys point of view and think this is great on wrinkles and crows feet, yes guys get them too. I started using every night even though it suggested to only start with two nights until you got used to it. I didn't have any negative effects like dry skin or peeling. I noticed a difference in my appearance right away. I also have oily skin and this product didn't make me break out or feel greesy on my face. Read All SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 Reviews »
