  • Awesome! But research product before you dive in.
At first, my skin was very upset and erupted in a rash on my cheekbones and breakouts around my mouth and jaw. However, after I started spacing out days I used it so I could adjust my skin now loves it. If you’ve never used retinol, I don’t suggest starting with 1% or you’ll hurt your skin. I’ve been using a weak retinol then moved to this and my skin still freaked out. I suggest starting with CeraVe or something else gentle and working up to a 1%. My skin is looking smoother and it’s helping manage and prevent breakouts, especially on my chest. ... show more

  • Feels great and works
Favorite retinol product I’ve tried. I took a couple of weeks building up to using this every night. It fees good and my skin tolerates it well. Other retinol products have upset my skin in the past. Love that there isn’t really a smell and I am noticing a difference after a few weeks. One minor flaw is it’s in a solid plastic container and you have no idea when it’s getting low. This was my first time using a product in this line. I’d try others. ... show more

  • I can feel the tingling
The media could not be loaded. Can’t see much of a difference YET but this is my first month trying Retinol and so far so good. I can feel the tingling from it so to me I know it’s doing something. I’ll keep you all updated throughout the months

  • Finally a retinol with no cones..
This is the first retinol I have found that does not have any “cones” or added fragrance, which always break me out. I love that I can add this to my moisturizer or use it alone. My skin is clearer and brighter. All around fabulous product!

  • Not worth it
Works just as good as all the other retinol creams I have… wouldn’t waste ur money.

  • Not sure if it's the actual Paula's Choice product
I purchased my first bottle of this retinol booster from the Paula's Choice website (like I do all of my other PC products) and I loved it. I purchased another one once I ran out (this time from Amazon), and I started breaking out immediately. I was so confused because I didn't have any issues like this from the first bottle, but it was the only change in my routine. I stopped using it for a few months, tried it again, and immediately had breakouts in random places. So maybe my skin suddenly changed, or PC changed their ingredients, or this isn't the same product, but either way it made me breakout and so I unfortunately can use it anymore. ... show more

  • Expires 2 months after I received it
This arrived to me in filthy condition, and has a dirty printed out label on it that says it expires two months out! It's obvious this has been laying around and For the price that is just insane. I will not purchase this again.
