Paulas choice 1% retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I purchased this after using tret for many years . My skin just didn’t like tret , I found it brought my hyperpigmentation out worse ! I tried medik8 3,6&10 which I liked . But after trying Paula’s choice think I have found my perfect retinol. I always purchase my skin & hair care from cult beauty also many vitamins too . Cult are so reliable, I have never had a problem except a missing parcel which was felt with quickly by customer service.

Non irritating retinol option (at least for me), you can really notice a difference after about a month and with long term use even more

Fantastic

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I had been using The Ordinary's retinol in squalene for around a year and had been struggling between irritation and breakouts and seeing no results so finally gave up with it and albeit much more expensive, tried this as so many derms/skinfluencers recommended this on YouTube, I just say that I love this. Formulation is lovely, it hasn’t irritated me at all, couple of dry patches but that’s expected to start, and I see a difference in the mornings now with softer looking skin. It’s also helping with dark patches after spots. Will be continuing with this one for sure!

Effective staple for skincare

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this, doesn’t dry out your skin and gives great results. I’ve been using this every other night and my skin definitely looks brighter and smoother. I’d previously been using a more expensive brand of retinol by murad but feel this one from Paula’s choice is far more effective and I’m really impressed with the formula. Highly recommended and a staple in my skincare regime

Holy grail

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’d been using various retinols for a year building up to a 1% formula.  I’d heard this one was the best 1% out there before going to prescription. It’s way more expense than my other skin care, but I knew that if I invested in a good quality retinol I could stop using other less important products (SPF and retinol are the foundations of a good routine right - get those right and you can stop with all the extra treatments). My skin took a while to be able to tolerate it but now I use 3 nights in a row, do a night of glycolic treatments and a night ‘off’ and WOW. It’s a powerhouse serum that has totally changed skin. It got rid of wrinkles I didn’t even know I had and keeps any pimples in check - it blasts them over night! I’ve ditched lots of other products now as this is better than all of them put together. The bottle lasts ages too - I use 2 pumps a night for 3 nights a week… and I’m still on my first bottle! Don’t hesitate to get it but please go slow and steady to start with as it could fry your skin! TIP: I found spreadability an issue with this product, so now I put 2 pumps onto damp skin and it just glides over.

Best retinol I’ve used

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I use every other night and it definitely evens out my skin tone and makes me look younger. I’ve used other retinols and this makes the biggest difference for me so far.
