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.

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!

[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.

[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.

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.

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Avene Retinal 0.05% Multi-Corrective Cream is your skin’s new BFF with a PhD in wrinkle-zapping! This feather-light cream brings the big guns with Retinaldehyde 3X—basically retinol’s cooler, stronger cousin—smoothing lines and giving your face a glow-up that screams “I woke up like this!” It’s so gentle, you’ll forget it’s working overtime, but your mirror won’t. Science says yes, and your skin says “YASSS!”

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to follow directions. To be sure, I used it sparingly to ensure that I didn't have a reaction. It was actually a lot gentler than anticipated. It applies on smoothly and nourishes my skin. It doesn't smell strong. It absorbs quickly. It has certainly reduced puffiness and smaller/lighter wrinkles. I'll need more time to see it's effectiveness of deeper lines.

I've used it diligently for this past month and most definitely can see a difference in my fine lines on my face! The cream applies nicely, and the scent is mild and refreshing. I'm super happy with my results!!
