Gentler than expected
I have been using retinol for about 3 years now and working up from low percentages from The Ordinary to this. I haven't experienced any redness, dryness or irritation, but have seen my skin looking healthy and clearer. I am using this to treat spots rather than wrinkles and think it is working well so far - definitely think it's more effective than the one I was using previously. The texture is really nice and a little goes a long way - I use 1 1/2 pumps to do my whole face, it absorbs quickly and plays nicely with other products.

Lovely
When you think about the price for 5ml it’s a lot but I personally use it as a night eye cream and we all know a standard 15ml eye cream seems to last forever so I am happy with the price. I am glad this isn’t a greasy product. My eyes are always plump and hydrated upon waking up. I might be mad but my fine lines around my eyes seem to be gone and smoothed out but predominantly for me being only 21 retinol is a long-term thing prevention thing. I might get the bigger size to test on my forehead as the texture doesn’t seem too thick that it would break me out and the fine lines on my forehead definitely need some TLC. I really love and trust Paula’s choice of products

Good, but no obvious results
I like it, good texture, absorbs quickly and well. Not sure if it is 1% retinol - I've been using it almost daily after starting off with using every other night. No reaction, no stinging. As for results - I have not seen any obvious improvements, and I've finished 1 bottle now. I may repurchase as I do like it overall and just hope the result is the delay of wrinkles, but for now will try couple other retinol products and see how that goes.

Just ok
This didn't do a single thing for me. Has a lovely texture and very pleasant to use, but I was expecting some reaction from this (flakiness to show it's working), particularly for such a high level of retinol. Didn't notice any visible difference either.

Disappointing
To be honest I have fairly nice skin apart from melasma on my cheekbones and forehead, I don't suffer with breakouts and have wrinkles around my eyes and mouth. I'm 39 years old and i have sensitive skin. This is the first time I have ever tried retinol and purchased it to see if it would fade my melasma. I purchased my first bottle in October 2018 and used it for 7 months until summer returned. During this time I noticed the lines around my mouth were less noticeable but I stopped using the product throughout the sunniest months as I didn't want to make my melasma worse, I wear good high factor sun cream throughout summer and then started using the retinol again around October 2019. I have to say apart from the lines around my mouth this product has done nothing else, if anything i have very faint forehead wrinkles since using this, my melasma has always faded slightly throughout the colder months, I didn't notice any increase in the amount it faded while using retinol. I have a tiny bit left in the bottle and will use this up and then try a different retinol. It saddens me, I really wanted this to work.

My go to product
This is my second bottle of Paula’s Choice Retinol and wow this product gives me results! You obviously need to start off using the product slowly (I know we all want results quick!) but don’t be tempted to use this every night until your skin gets used to the product. And importantly remember to use your SPF too! (You don’t want to reverse the good things Paula’s Choice Retinol does for your skin!)

Great but not for me
This is such a good product, but kept breaking me out. I have pretty congested pores, so I think it was probably purging, or maybe it was a bit oily, but I got through a whole bottle and it never changed. So I need to address my congestion/borderline acne with a different product I think. However, the formula is so high quality and has great ingredients. It goes on like a lotion, with a hint of oiliness which would be great for dry or mature skin. Despite the breakouts for me, the overall tone and discoloration improved. While I won't buy again, I think it could work wonders for dry, sensitive, mature skin that doesn't have underlying blemish/congestion/acne problems.
