I have sensitive skin and have tried many anti-aging products (Curology, Cerave, etc) all of which have been irritating. This is the first product I’ve used that I’ve been able to use without irritation. I can use it every day, and have been for the past 4 weeks. I am already seeing an improvement in the texture of my skin, and my pores on my nose look smaller. I think I can see an improvement in my fine lines and wrinkles as well. This is definitely a high quality product, and I will definitely look to add other Avene products into my skincare routine.

Great quality, very nice feeling while applying. I can see the skin getting tighter and brighter with it, pores are getting smaller but this is a process I wasn’t expecting to happen overnight. I like that the 0.05 allows my skin that tends to be sensitive to ease into the retinaldehydes from strong retinols. But I’ve already got one new bottle each with 0.05 and 0.1 to start increasing the strength on my nose and forehead area since they’re less sensitive to 0.05 already. I love that one bottle lasted me 3.5 month of daily use 🎉

Noticeably improvement in the overall appearance of my skin.😉

Finally a product I can use on my hard-to-please sensitive, rosacea skin. I layer moisturizer (tolerance skin recovery balm), retinal, then light layer of Cicalfate. Over time, my skin has transformed! I use it ever other night and then sunscreen during the day. I can't use anything else or it starts to go haywire. I finally have a skincare routine!! Please don't discontinue this particular strength.

I LOVE this. My skin is glowing and there have been no reactions. This had made my skin feel soft and the texture is fantastic. Just ordered more.

What I love is that this is not to strong to dry my skin out but strong enough to keep my skin feeling and looking smooth, bright and youthful.

Love this RetrinAL cream. I have eczema and this has not irritated my skin. I plan to move up to the 0.1 strength on my next purchase. I put it in over my HA serim, then out a thick moisturizer after.

I just started using this product and have had no irritation at all. This is the first retinoid I've tried to use that didn't crisp up my skin after 2 uses, so I'm giving it 5 stars for this reason alone. I look forward to seeing results after giving it long enough.

This a great starter RetrinAL. It is gentle and effective.

I’ve only been using this about a month and I go very slow in introducing a new retinoid product but I will say it has not been irritating or caused any excessive dry skin. I was able to bump it up from every third night to every other night after two weeks with no issue. I have sensitive rosacea prone skin and I’m hoping I have found a great retinoid product for me. I also have noticed a brightening and evening effect on my skin.
