Do you get any peeling with this product; higher retinol concentrates should give you some peeling?

Yes it did! But it looked like it was helping my face actually, I thought it was because I was using on top of my moisturizing. Cream

Not usually on the day that I use it. On the next few days I will get some peeling, especially around the mouth and nose. Sometimes it can be a little more than usual. It just depends.

None. It was a good moisturizer. I did do an acid peel and mixed it with lotion and that had some peeling. This did not at all. It says it is strong but no peeling. I use this and a Beverly something acid 70%but I mix it with lotion and that has seemed to work well paired with this for minor tightening and peeling.

Whatever the concentration, for my combination skin it is not so great that it causes peeling, I can use it everyday without looking like I just had a peel. It has a lot of aloe in it which helps too.

The percentage of vitamin C is not listed but it is the ninth ingredient of thirteen listed. My face does not peel like it does with the 0.5 % retinol products yet I see an amazing improvement in my skin. It feels tighter, healthier and it has a youthful glow (I am in my fifties). You can contact the company directly at 800-290-6932 and they may be able to provide you with an accurate answer to the percentage of vitamin C.

I have used Neutrogena Dermatologics Retinol for about 6 months and love it...I really do see a diminish in fine lines and my skin feels tighter. I ordered another bottle recently because I did not want to go a day without. Please give it several weeks to show a difference in your skin.

No, it does not. I am extremely allergic to Retinol and I'd know it if were in here because my skin would literally start to burn. Having said that, this is a great moisturizer when used in conjunction with the Serum. In my opinion, the Serum is the most important part of the process. Good Luck!

I did mine on March 10th & still no peeling. I took off my nail polish & showered before I used the solution just as the directions said. I won't be using the product again. �

Yes, but I am not sure why face lotions only ever put the active ingredients on the label. It is usually just sunscreens. Anyway, it has retinol and will improve cell turn-over so if you have dry skin, there might be some peeling.

Not normally. Most people will experience redness, but not actual skin peeling or flaking.

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:)

I use Pro X on face including eye area, as well as neck. My experience with all retinol products is that there are no miracles, but research indicates it helps.

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.

That's a good question. One which I wondered myself. I can't answer with certainty, but I can say that upon initial use it causes my skin to peel, which to me speaks to the fact that it is a retinoid. Also, I have seen improvement in the clarity of my skin. I have used prescription retinoids previously, such as differin, and I would say this had a comparable effect on my skin.

Yes, in a few days peeling starts and last about a week to clear up ,wear sunscreen if u go outside, and heavy moisturizing cream by night, hope it helps.

My skin does not peel, that is, I have not seen any flakes or layers of skin sloughing off. The skin does not need to visibly exfoliate for the peel to be effective. I suppose it depends on your skin type and sensitivity to the product. I like that my skin looks and feels translucent and soft afterwards with no irritation or redness.

I use Retinol by Obagi on a regular basis. I believe this product is authentic. When I started using it I felt it working within a few days. It feels the same as if I used just the Retinol except it has a moisturizing effect.

I haven't needed to use any retinol product in addition to Regenerist. I do use the Regenerist regenerating serum in the morning as well, and if I am not getting enough sleep, I have used the proX eye restoration complex for my under eyes, which is ok. I like Olay products because it does not irritate my skin, and my eye lines and mouth lines are almost non-existent since I started using it daily several years ago so I have no reason to switch products. I would suggest trying it for three weeks. I have recommended it to several friends, and it has reduced their lines as well. ROC probably works as well, but I have not tried it so I don't know. Honestly, of the Olay products I have used, I found regenerist micro-sculpting cream to be the most effective, which is why I wrote the review.
