Sensitive skin must have!
I have never been able to use this type of product, as I have very sensitive skin. Eczema and rosacea-prone. However I have been using this twice weekly, to build up to 5 days a week. I have no irritation, or redness. I use tolerance moisturizer after applying a small amount of this product to my face, neck and chest area. This is a keeper for me.

Great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed this product and I'll post a deeper review once I've finished my other product and can really focus on this one. I didn't notice any redness or peeling. I think that as far as Retrinal, this is a good starting product. No overwhelming scent. Very happy with this product.

New formula burns
I’ve used this product for 10 years. Both the eye and face treatments. New formula burns and feels hot! I haven’t tried the face one yet. Not sure what to do. Does anyone know of another good retinoid product?

Bring Back Original!
Bring back the original! I’ve been using this product for years, but new formula is very harsh and immediately made my skin red and irritated, with a faint orange hue in spots. This is the only change I made in my regime and was immediate after first use. So disappointed- the original product was FIVE STARS!

New formula is very different, test a sample first
I’ve been using this product for 3y now, and just had to open a new package because I ran out of the old one. The new formula seems very different. It feels warm, almost irritatingly so on my skin. And it smells faintly like burnt rubber. I’ve only had it on for about 15mins and can already tell I’m going to need to wash it off before I can go to sleep. So disappointing, because I really liked the old version and it’s worked well for my sensitive skin.

Bring back original
Have used the .05 retinal crème for 10 years. The “new and improved” version is terrible. Upon first use immediately was harsh on my skin and neck. Bright red and itchy. Never fix something if it isn’t broke!

Great night time moisturizer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It gently smooths the appearance of wrinkles and gives my skin a firmer look without causing any irritation or discomfort. The formula feels high quality. My complexion looks brighter, more even, and plumper. I love that it’s fragrance free. I apply it each evening to my face, neck, and decollete.

Wonderful work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the cream for a month every night before going to bed. I’m not new with retinol. This cream is very light in texture and absorbs instantly, the feeling of comfort of the skin is magical. I see that the skin began to look healthier and brighter, radiant and soft after using the cream. The wrinkle area on the neck and face became less pronounced than it was before using the cream.

Seems fine so far
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve only been using this for about a month but so far it’s been good! Doesn’t really have a scent to it and the texture is fine! Doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy!

Leaves behind a residue
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream initially felt like a great moisturizer and seemed to absorb somewhat ok when I applied it prior to going to sleep. When I woke in the morning though it felt like it had left behind a residue or film on my skin and I had to wash it off.

Smoother skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Aveeno RetrinAL 0.5 for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with how gentle yet effective it is. As someone with sensitive, combination skin that’s prone to occasional breakouts, I was cautious about trying a retinoid, but this one has been a great introduction. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. I didn’t experience any major irritation, flaking, or dryness—just a little initial tightness that went away after a few uses. I’ve noticed a subtle improvement in my skin tone and texture; my pores look more refined, and my skin feels smoother and more even. I also appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and formulated with nourishing ingredients like vitamin E and thermal spring water, which help balance out the potency of the retinoid. It layers well with my other skincare products, including moisturizers and sunscreen. Overall, Aveeno RetrinAL 0.5 is a solid, beginner-friendly option for anyone looking to incorporate retinal (a gentler but effective retinoid) into their routine without the harsh side effects. I’m looking forward to continued results with long-term use.

Fine line reducing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is very simple & clean. I The product is retinol 0.05% & hyaluronic acid meant to correct wrinkles, fine lines, radiance, & is safe for sensitive skin. The product has no scent & has a very soft texture to it. The absorption rate is a little slow & it takes a few times to run it in. After a week or so of use, I had already started noticing my skin seemed brighter with the fine lines I have being lighter. I have confidence that with long-term use, there would be a significant difference in my skins radiance & elasticity.

Love this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this brand! Follow the directions and apply at night, due to the retinol the SPF from the sun can cause irritation. Easy pump to receive the cream that has no scent. It applies easy and not greasy and can easily cover your whole face with one pump. I’ve seen my wrinkles calm down and my face looks smoother. Love this product!

Nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t noticed any difference in my skin but it feels great. It’s a thick formula and doesn’t feel too thick. The smell isn’t the greatest, but it’s tolerable.

Happily surprised!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy pump bottle! I saw what I think is firmer skin and pores looking less dented into my skin. Didn’t leave an oily texture after put on and soaked well into my skin.
