I am looking for a retinol product that makes my skin peel. Will the product cause your skin to peel?

It wont. I have tried so many and the strongest hands down is by Cosmedix. It has high concentration. Its like 60 something bucks but i can only use it once a week, and thats saying a lot ! Mine has lasted for 5 months.

Any Retinol product is going to make you peel one way or another. Some have a regular problem with peeling so I would use a 2% product, I have had very little peeling with any Retinol product.

Doesn't say on the bottle. Can't find the answer on line. I'm pleased with the product but I have little experience with retinol products to compare it to.

This lotion hydrates and smooths out very dry flay skin. But retinol does not lift.

Hi, I am not too sure of your skin type, but I would start with just doing a sample patch first, leaving it one the least amount of time as suggested on the box. If you don't suffer any problems, then you can work your way up to using it once a week. I would do mine at night to allow for any redness to subside by morning. Also remember to check against the other beauty products in your regime. Some of the different acids should not be mixed or they could severely irritate your skin. Please do your homework before using with retinols and other acidic products! Good luck:)

Yes you can. I used a moisturizer over the retinol when I first started. Now that my skin has adjusted, I do not have to. I believe that I read somewhere that it is most effective if a moisturizer is not used.

It doesn't say how much retinol is in the product, but in the list of ingredients retinol is listed 10th out of 18 ingredients. It also has Green Tea, Aloe Vera and Chamomile. I haven't found it to be irritating at all to my skin.

I don't know the percentage of retinol, but I can tell you that this is a gentle cream that leaves your skin very soft and smooth to the touch. It does not cause my skin to peel or feel tight like it would if it were high in retinol. I am over 65 and my skin is much thinner than it was in my younger years and I am more sensitive to the retinol. I also have used this same cream in the version that is not for sensitive skin and this one has a better result. If you are looking for a cream that leaves you skin feeling soft and silky, this is a great product.

I've just started using it. I do like the serum. My skin has been dry ever since my dermatologist prescribed me a face cream for so dark spots on my face.It has really seemed to help with the peeling. I guess time will tell.

Neither this line nor Regenerist work on retinols. They work using niacinamide, peptides and other active ingredients. So they don't "peel" the skin like a retinol does. This is why they are good for people with skin sensitivities.

Do not use retinol creams during Summer. When you use them apply them only over night. Sunscreen creams do not have Retinol. Use them during Summer then you will not burn.

I've asked the same thing and searched and searched. I do really like the product though and suspect it has retinol in its ingredients.

Sorry for can#t helping you. As my skin is very hard-wearing I never read the package information sheet or even the product despriction. But I found a list of ingredients here http://www.dermstore.com/product_Retinol+1.0+Maximum+Strength+Refining+Night+Cream_4505.htm. Perhaps this will help you futher on.

Dear Jill, Yes, it's the retinol that causes some of us to experience some burning or sensitivity in the first few days of nightly use. I asked my dermatologist about this reaction, and she indicated that the dosage of retinol in products is calibrated to be optimally effective in reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Don't give up! Her advice--which works: only use the night cream every third night for a week to 10 days. Then graduate to every other night for two weeks. This gradual approach acclimates the skin for comfortable use. You will see the product's benefits after a few nights' use. I confess I use both Roc wrinkle-reducing products (day and night) over a light serum, specifically Olay's Regenerist Serum. They are extremely compatible. Never get anything containing retinol near your eyes and, like the earlier writer warned, always wear sunscreen while using retinol. Roc makes a daytime retinol wrinkle treatment with an SPF 30 which is excellent. No, I don't work for Roc! ;-). I'm just an "old" woman who has used Roc creams for years and who finds they do an excellent job working in tandem.

I bought the vitamin c and the hylauronic acid. I noticed my skin looked different after only a few days. I am really impressed. I have also ordered the 20 percent salicylic peel. I read one review that said her skin peeled. I have used it twice in a 7 day period and have had no sensitivity.

I would advise against using this during the day. Retinyl Palmitate and retinoic acid become carcinogenic in sunlight so like all products that contain Retinol (or Retinyl which breaks down into Retinol) you do not want to have this on your skin if you're going to be in the sun.
