I’m in my late 30s, so I’m really starting to look at things like retinol, peptides, super hydrating ingredients and this product seemed like a great place to start with retinol. I do have sensitive skin, so I wanted to start with an extremely low percentage of retinol and work my way up. I have definitely noticed a reduction in acne and smoother skin since incorporating this product into my routine. Really plumps my skin and makes it look amazing, I always love how my skin looks the morning after using this product. I use it 3-4 times per week in my nightly routine. I will usually do 2-3 nights of this in a row and then take a break to do an exfoliating night, then repeat. I experienced very minimal purging the first 2 times I used it, and have not experienced any redness, dryness, or other irritation at all. It’s very gentle, no smell, does not sting or make my skin feel tight, glides on incredibly smoothly, feels light on the skin, and does not have a stickiness or tackiness to it at all. It actually makes my skin feel pretty hydrated and soothed. I even use it under my eye area to make sure that it is helping with the fine lines in that area and I do think I see definite improvement there. I also love that this came in a travel size so I was able to purchase that first before diving right into a full size bottle that may not have worked well for my sensitive skin. I love when companies have that option available. This is a definite repurchase for me!
The price point is the only thing I can see being a negative for some people. However, I’ve never tried a Paula’s Choice product that didn’t give me great results, making the price 100% worth it to me. Their official website runs sales, has active promo codes, and does free gifts with purchase quite often, so you definitely have opportunities to get the products for lower price points.
