Product Information

In our opinion, SkinMedica products aren’t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive. However, prescription-strength retinoids are often more irritating to the skin than OTC retinol. The best of both worlds? Retinol moisturizer, of course. It’s a great way to experiment with retinol while reaping additional anti-aging benefits and vital moisture to help combat the side effects of retinol — much like a retinol eye cream . Obviously, that’s very expensive, but at least in this case you’re getting a pretty effective product! As the name implies, encapsulated retinol is delivered into the skin at a slow and steady time-released rate instead of all at once like other forms of retinol. Not only does it protect your skin, but it remains stable and potent for a more extended period of time, thus providing superior benefits. Other ingredients that can help smooth your forehead wrinkles include anti-aging peptides, glycolic acid, and hyaluronic acid. Peptides are cell communicating ingredients—they signal to your cells to make more collagen and elastin—but they take time to work (think: four or so month of regular use). On the flip side, glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid can help improve the appearance of forehead wrinkles almost immediately.

Skin Medica Age Defense Retinol Complex is an herbal anti-aging cream which focuses primarily on providing anti-aging benefits. It firms the skin and improves elasticity, smoothing out wrinkles and lines. This is an antioxidant formula which repairs and protects the skin, and it’s also high in anti-inflammatory agents which reduce swelling. This is a high-quality cream with an effective collection of ingredients. Bottom Line: SkinMedica Lytera 2.0 combines niacinamide with tyrosinase inhibitors and tranexamic acid, giving you a serum that should help to reduce the appearance of dark spots and brighten the complexion.

Very happy, I finally found a great product!

SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 is a potent night cream with a lightweight, smooth texture. The key ingredients—vitamin A and retinols – take care of wrinkles while ceramides keep the face looking plumped and moisturized. This formula is also available in less potent strengths. What’s interesting is that the antioxidant activity of vitamin E can actually become more powerful when combined with vitamin C. For this reason, vitamins C and E are referred to as “network antioxidants”. Because retinols can be drying, it’s ideal to follow with an effective moisturizer to help keep skin hydrated and [the] skin’s barrier protected,” Gabriel notes. Glycine Soja Oil – An emollient plant oil made from soybeans. It helps calm, soothe, and hydrate the skin. This product contains a skin conditioning agent (oryza sativa bran cera) that may help dampen any irritation that retinol can sometimes produce.

But overall, this is a very good wrinkle cream that can do a good job on fine lines, rough skin and discoloration. Detailed Opinion:
