Revision Skincare Retinol Complete® 1.0

Good

Love all revision products! I am 70. My daughter is a nurse esthetician in plastics practice. She only uses these products. My skin is so soft and plump. Very moisturized. Worth the price and love the % off coupons i see occasionally.

I bought it before and have been using it. It does help with fine lines and it does help so you wont get to many more. My face feels smooth and brighter. Great product. However do not use on eyes

Im in my mid 30s and havent always used products to preserve the youthful look of my skin (I havent always worn sunscreen and there was a stretch when I didnt wash my face at night!). Now that Im in my 30s, my negligence is catching up with me and Im starting to notice....WRINKLES. As a result, Im using products with a little bit of retinol and it does WONDERS. My skin hides the wrinkles, looks more taut, and retains moisture alot better because the skin reproduces quicker. I do have to exfoliate a little to get the buildup of dead skin off, so the retinol serum is absorbed. I use this serum nightly and my skin is thanking me!

I dont understand how this can cost so much and be a fraction as effective as retin a products. That said, it does work - I had to start slowly with this product just like with Retin A prescriptions, and use extra moisturizer to prevent flaking. But at this price point, why not get a prescription? Not sure I get it.

Wonderful

I used Retin A in my 30s for adult onset acne. It improved my skin so much but was/is prescription only. Retinol is a less aggressive but still very effective ingredient and this 1% product WORKS!

It comes in a pretty large container and well worth the money IMHO. The consistency is not too thin or too creamy, it is perfect for smoothing over the skin. This product goes on easily and absorbs quickly with no stickiness. It is not perfumed and frankly, I didnt really notice any kind of scent from it. You dont need; and shouldnt use, a LOT of it, just enough to cover your face.

I have very sensitive skin and wasnt sure how my skin would react at first. It did make my skin unhappy at first, with lots of redness and dry skin when using as directed. If you have sensitive skin, i recommend using once a week/10 days for a month or so, then twice a week to let your skin adjust to it. Alternatively, you can start with their .5% product then uplevel to this 1% product after a couple of months. Once you do start using it regularly, your skin will start to look amazing. I really can tell a difference. My fine lines are gone and my skin tone looks better. I am 54 and my skin looks great. If only they had a product to get rid of undereye bags!

Since it is a Retin product, your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight. You should be wearing a good facial sunscreen of at least 50 SPF while using this.

Great product

Great product. I have used for years

We havent used any retinol products before, and after using it and then reading some reviews it appears we may have wanted to ramp up a bit more instead of going to 1%. Have to be careful with it else is can cause your face to be a bit read, but after it really helps clear up your skin.

If youre new to using retinol, you should start with a .5% formula for a few weeks, then begin using Revision Skincare Retinol Complete 1%. If you have sensitive skin, you might find that retinol will redden & irritate your skin.

Revision Skincare Retinol Complete 1% is a yellow cream which quickly absorbs. Youre instructed to apply it 2 to 3 times a week at night. Im a senior citizen and have been fortunate in that I didnt have many wrinkles until I turned 70...then a few started appearing. Ive been applying this twice a week, and have noticed that my skin is looking more youthful and some very fine wrinkles are diminished so its working for me. I should mention that I dont have sensitive skin.
Do not apply this near your eyes. Retinol might cause you to burn more easily so be sure to use sunscreen.

This is my second bottle. Since using it my skin looks healthier and younger. It significantly reduced my sun spots and evened out my skin tone.

I have used many different retinol products, usually weaker strength than this. Now you can get the stronger ones without a prescription. Its tempting to use the strongest one you can find, but - they are harsh on the skin, and you must use a very high SPF sunscreen or youre negating their use by making your skin more sensitive to UV rays. This lotion will cause redness, and is probably too strong for areas around your eyes. It would be good for areas on cheeks and hands that might be prone to wrinkling and age spots. If you find it too strong for most of your face, as I do, you can mix it with a light moisturizer to dilute the strength. But if youre going to dilute it, youre better off buying a cheaper product with a lower concentration of retinol. Some people whose skin is not as sensitive will be fine with this strength, especially once they get used to it. But dont forget the sunblock!!

Id been using a more mild retinol and wasnt seeing results, so I decided to try something stronger. I use Revision products regularly so I figured their retinol would be good as well. Its a great product IF you follow the application instructions. I used it two days in a row and my face suffered a bit. It looked and felt like a very bad sunburn. My face has since calmed down and Im using it appropriately. My skin looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g. I wish I would have taken before photos. Highly recommend using this product (2-3 times per week that is).
