I've used cheap retinols in the past and can sense a great difference between the overall result. Skinceuticals uses higher grade ingredients. Happier with this than the knock-offs I used in the...

This wasnt horrible, but for the price I expected more. It made my skin really oily during the day. I'd rather stick with my RoC night cream.

I've been using this once a week for 6 weeks, and found that it makes my fair skin (with mild rosacea) red and blotchy. My skin doesn't tolerate it, and it also caused some cheek pimples which I...
