Good for the price
For a non medical grade retinol its good. Used correctly in stages or mixed with a moisturiser this would be great

My holy grail
When I first used this, it burned my skin. As in, my skin was angry red and peeling off within 1-2 weeks of using it. I used a weaker retinol before (from the inkey list) but after a few months I tried this retinol again, this time I mixed it with a very rich night cream and was more patient with my pacing. I used it only twice a week with the cream for a few weeks then gradually increased the usage. Now I can use it without any cream, every night. But since it’s sooo incredibly expensive, I dont use it every night. I dont ever want to switch to another retinol because it works so well for me. My skin tone is more even!!

Amazing!
I usually use a retinal but I was given a travel size to try! I love it - purged for a week and now face is peeling (trust the process). I can start to see a difference after a month of use.

Expensive but good
This is very expensive - too expensive. But it is very effective. I haven’t seen comparable results with other retinols. The other 1% I used is the inkey list which was good but PC is a more sophisticated product with additional vitamin c etc. I have rosacea and all retinol is challenging with that, but this is one of the “rosacea safe” retinols due to lack of fragrance etc.

It’s ok
It’s a nice texture and I notice a difference in my skin but it’s not better than cheaper products that you can buy.

Saw improvement
Saw improvement within a couple of weeks. Used in combo with PC’s BHA acid and experienced an effective chemical peel with a whole new smooth layer of skin coming through. Would be a bit cautious if you have sensitive skin

Favorite retinol
The most efficient retinol you can buy, I’m obsessed with the results.You only need a small amount and this bottle lasted me for a year. It really works for lines and fading acne marks but you have to be patient and consistent with it. Highly recommend!
