This advanced 1% retinol features a potent blend of four peptides and vitamin C to help skin look and feel more youthful. The sheer, lightweight formula visibly improves skin's resilience, softens lines and wrinkles, minimizes pores and fades the look of discoloration over time.
Ingredients:
- 1% Retinol (Vitamin A): A potent, slowrelease concentration that visibly improves signs of aging.
- Oat, Willow Bark & Licorice Extracts: Soothe the skin to visibly address redness and other signs of sensitivity.
- Triple Peptide Blend: Complements highstrength retinol, promoting strong, visibly firm skin.
Clinical Results:
- Clinically proven to visibly reduce wrinkles in 4 weeks.
- Based on an independent clinical study with 33 subjects.
- After cleansing & toning, smooth 1-2 peasized pumps over face & neck, avoiding contact with eyes.
- Start with 3x/week & gradually increase frequency to every night as tolerated.
- For daytime, always finish with sunscreen. Some people may experience a delayed sensitized reaction to retinol. Do not assume that if no reaction is seen after a few applications that you can apply this product more frequently. Pay close attention to how your skin responds, and adjust usage accordingly.
- If sensitization occurs (redness, flaking, tenderness, or drying of skin), reduce frequency of use.
- Protect your skin daily with sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.

Start out slowly
I'm new to this product and after reading the reviews I decided that slow was the best option. This is a wonderful product but after using for a few times I can see how it could harm if used to often. You definitely need to build up a tolerance.

Great value, and great results
I own a lot of different retinol products because I like to mix it up with the concentration of retinol. This is a robust formula that really delivers on the retinol. Plus, it's surprisingly gentle for this high of a retinol dose. Integrate this slowly into your routine, and you'll get nice results. This brand is heaven-sent.

Great Retinol !
I have had great results with this retinol product from Paula's Choice. It has a long list of beneficial ingredients. I like that it contains other effective ingredients like Vitamin C, HA, peptides and Licorice Extract. It has a silky smooth texture, is lightweight and has not caused me any irritation or dryness. It has evened my skin tone and leaves my skin soft and smooth. I apply it in the evenings and will continue to use, as it is effective. It works and I have recommended it to friends.

Great First Impression
This has been a great addition to my night time routine!! I have been using this every other night (alternating with Farmacy's Honeymoon Glow). I have been noticing changes in how dark my hyperpigmentation is, which is great! I have also noticed that my skin is definitely in an adjustment period and purging slightly! I have also noticed my complexion being more smooth & less texture (besides the breakouts). I can't wait to see continued results with consistent use! Great price point as well!!

No improvement yet
I've been using this retinol cream for 3 weeks now and I haven't noticed any improvement in pore size or fine lines. I will keep using the product and will update my review if results improve.

Want to give a try
I have been using retinol for last 4 years. I have try one from obagi. I think it's ok. I didn't see a lot of difference in my skin. I want to try this one since is way cheaper and has some good reviews.
