Review on 🌟 SkinMedica Retinol 1.0 Complex: Ultimate Retinol Power for Radiant Skin by Julie Davis

This is an excellent product for smoothing wrinkles and tightening the skin. I've been using it for over 3 years now and get tons of compliments on my 50 year old skin. I tried Retin-A and it was too strong. This product strikes a great balance of very active/effective and doesn't dry my skin out to the point of embarrassment or worse, new fine lines from dryness. BUT - PAY ATTENTION TO THE COLOR OF THE GOODS. If it's yellow, then be careful. I think I read that this meant it was oxidized. I'm not sure what the official word on this is, but I've personally noticed a HUGE difference in product potency/strength when using a bottle that dispensed an off-white product on the first squeeze versus a bottle who has dropped a yellow product. The product must be off-white, not yellow, to get the full benefit. I don't actually buy this online anymore and I'm going straight to my beautician to check the color of the product. And for the same reason, I no longer keep reserve stocks. Besides, I firmly believe in it!
