Too harsh
Unfortunately this was far too harsh for me. Used once and my skin peeled and went blotchy. I’m sure it’s a great product for some but glad I ordered the travel size.

Nice
Great product, noticed a difference in my dark spots and overall tone of my skin. Definitely follow the instructions and use as directed - I didn’t and noticed my skin became a little dry but corrected once I used as directed. Nice product - will invest in the larger size.

Excellent
Got. Sample size of this and will be. Using a full size once it's finished. A really nice retinol. Strong, so only using twice a week at present. Texture and additional benefits and excellent. Previously I have used retinols from The Ordinary and Inkley. This one is worth the extra cost.

Amazing
I didn’t want to buy the full size because I didn’t want to fall for the hype… but this actually works!! Skin has never been clearer and smoother, takes away fine line too.

So far so good.
Never used this before but so far very impressed as it has not irritated my skin at all. I have no doubt it will work as I have every confidence in Paula's choice skincare.

The worst retinol ever
I had high hopes for the retinol. Unfortunately, it triggered some redness on my neck( didn't put it there), my skin became very dry and completely broke my skin barrier. I have used many strong retinol creams without problems but this is not worth buying the full size, my mistake. I tried buffer but still looked dry and red like burned. Omg, so many unpleasant feeling about this cream. Even after 3 weeks still have dry skin and neck.

Gentle
I used this PC 1% retinol for a few years, I really liked it as I didn't have too much reaction, my skin was smooth and clear, and I loved the smell. I have moved to something stronger now as I found I didn't get that much visible difference with my fine lines compared to stronger products that I use now.
