Science & Proof
Topical retinols have extensively been used by dermatologists to help combat and reverse the visual effects of aging, such as wrinkles, laxity, and discoloration. Retinols because they accelerate cell turnover, can also improve blemishes and the appearance of pores. The retinol molecule is highly-sensitive and vulnerable to breakdown if not properly protected.
Retinol 0.3 employs an optimized delivery system and protective packaging to ensure stability and efficacy of pure retinol.

Gentle retinol that works
I've tried a few other retinol products and either didn't notice a difference because they were too weak or they irritated my skin because they were too strong. This is a perfect level of retinol for my skin. I like to use it every other night with lots of moisture on top.

Retinol
I have aging skin and I expected a better result from this product. I used as directed. I would not purchase again.

It's a must have
I have been using this for about two weeks now and I absolutely love it. My skin is clearer, softer and smoother. In fact, I usually dread my nighttime routine, but now I cant' wait to get ready for bed.

1st Time Retinol User
At 45 years old I realized that I should have already started using a retinol product. I decided on this one after hearing good things from my esti and because I tend to have finicky skin started at the lowest %. So far so good, no redness, no peeling, no extra dryness. Obviously, I can't speak to the complete efficacy yet...it's too soon for that. However, my plan is to use this tube entirely and then bump up to the 0.5 and so forth.

Game Changing
Worth it. I finally used up the whole tube after 16 months. Onto my second! I noticed that my breakouts were less angry and healing quicker when I first began using. With patience and gradually using more/ every other night, My acne has gone away. My skin has never been this clear. I have sensitive acne prone skin and was apprehensive, but my face adjusted very quickly. Retinol has changed my skin for good and it is a must in any regimen.

I don’t notice a difference
I’m 27 years old and have generally unproblematic skin. I’m starting to notice fine lines/wrinkles, specifically on my neck, so I wanted to take some proactive anti-aging steps into my regimen. I’ve used this regularly for months (just finished the tube) and I see no difference. I’m really disappointed because I thought I would see something by now, and not sure it’s even worth continuing considering the price.

Improved Skin Texture
I don't typically write reviews, but I bought this product several weeks ago along with skinceuticals CE Ferulic. I have been using it every other night with consistency and the CE Ferulic every morning followed by a basic SPF 50. My skin is Fitzpatrick Skin Type 1, very sensitive to product, and typically a bit dry. I don't know if it's due to the combination of the two products or only the retinol (I've used the CE Ferulic alone before) but my skin texture is the best it's been in years. The roughness I was experiencing has diminished, but the product isn't so harsh that I'm constantly peeling--a problem I've dealt with before with higher potency retinol and retin-A. At this point, I haven't yet noticed any difference in fine lines, but I'll admit that 3 weeks of use might be a bit too soon to determine effectiveness. I might bump up to the .5% to see if I have the same/better results, but I will likely continue to use some version of this product regardless because the skin texture benefit is so noticeable.

Great for Acne
I've suffered with acne for like forever and this has done wonders. Be careful not to put on too often or you'll dry out your skin. However it does it's job.
