Read this before you start using it!!!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was introduced to this product by a friend who has similar skin/complexion. She looks fabulous so I decided to give it a whirl. Things you should know: 1. My beauty routine consisted of occasionally washing my face. And by occasional— I mean rarely. 2. I was always fortunate to have ‘good’ skin it didn’t break out or have big pores BUT it was super sensitive. 3. I’m lazy and will not do anything that requires a lot of work. 4. I’m 50. The pictures are in order of progress — blue top was day of first application —the next 3 are from the first 10 days and the last one is as of tonight. With all that said — I was instructed in detail about using the product. 1. Start slow — every other night 2. Keep it away from your eyes. 3. Use sunscreen and be very careful going out in the sun after a treatment. I started slow (2 applications following the instructions) and did not put it ‘near’ my eyes. I stop at my brow and just below my darks circles. It burned my skin off as if I was in Chernobyl when it exploded. It was AWFUL and it took 10 days to heal. (See pics) What I realized was with my sensitive skin I really should have put more time between applications. So once I healed — I then waited 6 days between applications as I had some dryness and a little sensitivity on my cheeks. I’ve been using the product now for a little over 3 weeks only had 4 applications and I’m already seeing marked improvement. My “11s” are much less obvious (see pics). My skin looks brighter and healthier. Lastly it’s a smooth as a baby’s rump — I suspect that has a lot to do with burning off the top 4 layers of skin, but I digress. This product is intense but effective. It will burn if you don’t ease into using it. Also — when they say don’t put it on your eyes — what they mean is anywhere near your eyes. Give a wide birth or else you risk having your face look like mine did. My eyelids were literally burned and I never touched them with the product that’s how strong it is. Now I keep it focused on my cheeks and a very tiny amount on the side of my eye for those dreaded crows feet. Other things of note: this is part of a very simple routine. Morning 1. Wash face 2. Use hyaluronic acid serum 3. Use Vitamin C serum Evening 1. Wash face 2. Use Retinol (slow at first - then work up to the right cadence for you) 3. Use moisturizer I use Beauty Counter products for the serums I use in the morning. I use Verse for my sunscreen and moisturizer. Obviously, PC’s retinol Cerave Moisturizing Face Wash I purchased everything except the Beauty Counter products through Amazon. I love all of the products and will continue using them. Hope this helps you make good decisions.

Great product!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Ordered this after reading reviews on top quality Retinol cream. It is very smooth, a small/pea sized amount can cover my whole face (not under eyes), I've had no reactions or sensititivy to this. I've been using it about a month now and my skin texture has improved. I layer it, starting with a thin layer of my night cream, then the Paula's Choice Retinol (one pump), and then another layer of night cream, and I do this every other night (alternating with another top quality Estriol product). It is now part of my routine and I will continue to re-order. For reference, I'm 63 and wanted top line skin care products... skin feels clean and smooth, love it!

Paula’s choice is the best!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this product for 7 years and it’s amazing. Do not rub it all over your face. It’s supposed to go on your fine lines and wrinkled spots. You start will a small area and use a little tiny mini drop on your finger for that spot. You only do that for like 2-3 days a week. Once your skin gets used to it, you can do the same thing to your other spots. I would never rub it all over your face. Paula’s Choice has other face creams for that. Retinol is too harsh. If you use it long enough, you won’t hardly see any lines. Trust me, I’m almost 48, and have barely any lines, and no wrinkles. People mistake me for a millennial around late 30’s, lol It works. It takes consistency and patience. In the meantime, don’t smoke or vape and use sunscreen. Lead a healthy life and your skin will reflect it.

Great product! Don’t love the price
Size: 0.16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
PROS: great product! I have large pores, I’m prone to blackheads in my T-zone area, and also have always had horrible redness in my T-zone and within a week of using I noticed a slight difference in the appearance of my pores, my blackheads have gotten a tad better and my redness was almost completely gone. My face looked noticeably brighter and less dull. My husband said my skin was glowing! It’s light on your skin which is great because I have extremely oily skin and most products make me so oily I end up having to wash it off. This however did not which I loved. CONS: The bottle is sooo small. By the time you start noticing a change it’s empty. I realize there is a bigger bottle but I can’t always afford that one as they are quite pricey. Overall, I do really enjoy this product. I had no reaction to it and it was my first time using any kind of retinol. FYI, I did put a light moisturizer on right before I applied to create a barrier for the first week or so, after that I started applying without and had no issues. I will continue to use this product as I am pleased with the results but I will branch out and try similar products that may be less expensive 🙂

Powerful
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is every bit as concentrated as advertised. Use sparingly and with respect! I add a little to my moisture barrier cream. If I use it alone, my skin gets flaky. Great product!
