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.

gentle on skin
I am finding that as I get older, a lot of products burn my face or make it feel dry and tight. What I love about paula's choice items is that they are so concious of the ingredients they put in skincare, I have gone through 3 bottles of this and never had any dryness ot tightness or soreness. really good, well researched products.

Excellent retinol!!
This retinol can really simplify your nighttime routine. It has an amazing list of ingredients that cover every skin concern. And it works!! I'm super happy with it and how well it performs. I use my growth factor and follow with one pump mixed with my moisturizer and I have a powerhouse of ingredients that work magic while I sleep. My skin looks and feels fabulous and is glowing when I wake up.

Go to retinol
This is not my first bottle. I also got it for my mom and my mother in law. It is a bit thicker in consistency than I prefer, but seems like a lot of retinols I have tried are. Would recommend.

Not for my skin type
I have oily, acne prone skin and this retinol treatment wasn't the right fit for me. It may work wonders for those with dry skin, but for me it was too greasy which led to clogged pores and breakouts. I have used other products from Paula's choice that I liked, but this one is a miss for me.

My favorite Retinol
I love this Retinol product the most of all other brands. I use it at night. When I wake up, my pores are small again, th skin looks firm & tightened, no oiliness at all. I use it in combination with a thick moisturizer.

Best over the counter retinol product.
Sometimes my skin feels too sensitive or irritated to use my prescription tretinoin cream. When it does I use the Paula's Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment instead and I always wake up to glowing skin. This works well layered with other Paula's Choice products to customize your routine.
