Skincare gurus - Paula's Choice Resist retinol serum or The Ordinary retinoid 2%

I think I've just about grasped the difference between retinols and retinoids but am wondering if anyone has used and compared these two products? Or just has found the Ordinary retinoid 2% effective? Not sure I'm ready for the 1% retinoid just yet but thought I could work my way up?

My skin isn't particularly sensitive and I've been using the Paula's Choice product which I really like, but am keen to try The Ordinary which will be a fair bit cheaper. Am looking for anti-ageing, brown spot lightening effects rather than acne zapping only upside to being middle-aged and would love to hear any recommendations.
